Hour seized off Delagoa bay haa been
released. Ambasaador ('hnate had au
inu-rview with the Marquis of Hallt
bar thid afternoon, and received a
verbal reply to tho representation! of
the Washington government. The
British note iA thla subject wat tent
later to the United -t.it. - embassy.
Tho gist of It was cabled to Washing
ton. In brief, fraidstuffs are not con
sidered contraband of war, unlett in
tended for the enemy.
The foreign office only arrived at n
dedal 0B today, and It waa not until
after Mr. Choate't Interview with the
Marquis o( Salisbury that a note em
bodying tho provisions was drawn up.
Several of the government's advisers
wanted to make a regulation regarding
canned goods, but this wat decided to
bo impracticable. The decision to
make Hour and grain In transit to the
enemy contraband it evidently hedged
in by many iliHIculties of execution,
but the foreign office believes that in
vestigation will generally determine
w hether the grain it meant lor con
sumption at Lorenzo Marquez or In the
Transvaal.
Mr. Ohoate. cabled lord Salisbury's
note to the state department at Wash

Bates and Whoaton aro at l'erez Dos

Silan, all awaiting tho arrival of pro
rlnon wagoua. Keoonnoidtauces have
shown that 2,(100 armed insurgents
Iiiim retired to the iniiuutiiiut from the
district between Indau and Nuic, and
that others have retreated along the
coast from Novetel toward Botangas.
laisl night, Nolan's aqnadron of the
I'.leveiith cavalry drove a lxsly of insur
gents from Naic. One American was
killed and two were wounded. Thir
teen dead Filipinos were found.
'Die movement largely resembles
Qineral Hohwau'i i per lend in the
same country, except that the towns
are now being garrisoned, ami that the
insurgents refuse to light, retreating
southward and dividing into small
bands, with the apparent intention of
reassembling later. The plan of catch
ing a large number between two bri
gades has failed. Alsiut 100 insurgents
hum' been killed, but comparatively
lew arms have laien taken.
The region it full of amignt, who
doubtless have been bearing arms,
which they have hidden. The women
and children remain In their hornet,
and the insurgents, as they fall back,
release all the prisoners they have cap
tured. XVtlltat llnllia llersttlnn.

nouncement of the arrival of Field
Marshal Lird liolarr'ts aud (ieneral
Isird Kitchener at Cape Town hat
failed to stem the growing impatience
of the country at the prolonged muc
in it in the main British camps and
the entire absence of news giving an
adequate insight into tho local situa
tion. The public and press living un
able to form any just judgment as to
the actual position of affairs, stories
are rife that the inaction is forced ou

tion of reserves of ammunition anil
there are even w ild rumors of n shell

But not so much importance need be
attached to these rumort. It Is al

the landing of Roberts aud Kitchener a
prompt re' ii in will bo made to the
original plan of campaign, namely, a

Alamt the last of January the Philip

Schurmau was at the White House
Thursday to announce that progreti
wad Mug made, aud that More Feb

SeptemlaT waa a general one, in which
all the commissioners joined. In the
full report each commissioner will deal

Ideut Schurman it on government (or
the Philippine.. He hat considered
the matter fully and hat discussed his
nqsirt with the president. It It at
turned that tuch practical points m he
may offer will be brought to the atten
tion ol the appropriate commltteei of
the senate aud the bouse.
At to the question of again tending
a commission to the Philippines, it has
been suggest, d in ci tigress by Isith sen
ators and representative! that a joint
commission o( members might la
name ! for that purpose. It would be
very jsipular aud also very expensive,
but it it iusistcd that it would be a
better way of preparing congresa for
legislative action thau the plan of mak
ing up a commission outside of con
gress aud expecting member of both
houses to read their nqsirt after it had
been made iu order that it may become
informed. It is said that a special
committee of members well-known
would be more interesting aud inipres
