CONCENTRATION IN LUZON.
General Bell's Method of Stamping Out the
Rebellion in Batangas.
Manila, Dec. 18. Generul Franklin
Bell has been exceedingly active in
Batangas province, where he intends,
by every means available, to stamp
out the insurgents. Lieutenant Hen
nessy, of the Eighth infantry, together
with one American scout andasix Fil
ipinos, captured an insurgent major,
with 42 men, 22 rifles and 880 rounds
of ammunition, without the loss of a
man. A number of captured docu
ments and papers, now in the hands
of General Bell, implicate in the in
surrection tiie president and other
prominent natives of Lian, Batangas
province. .
General Bell has notified the
natives in Batangas that December 28
he proposes to concentrate them in
the neighborhood of towns.' He will
move their livestock, rice, etc., to
within the limits of 'concentration.
After that date, everything outside
these limits will be confiscated. The
roads from Batangas and Laguna
provinces are lined with a continuous
stream of native men, women and
children in the carryalls, carts, and
mounted on cariboos, seeking safety
from tlis horrors of war.
The column under Colonel Theo

life had been spared, because lie was
innocent of the Crime imputed to
him. He has expressed his highest
regard and warmest feelings for Gen
eral Chaffee, and his appreciation
that the supreme military power in
the Philippines is in the hands of
such a man. Torres says he is sub
missive to the existing conditions.
CHINA IS HELPLESS.
Will Yield In the Manchurian Matter to the
Strongest Influence.
Pekin, Dec. 18. The Manchurian
question has reached a stage which
best informed observers consider to be
a crisis in Chinese history. The Chi
neso governent is beset between Rus
sia on the one hand and Great Brit
ain, tho United States and Japan on
the other. The governent is helpless,
and will yield to that faction able to
bring the strongest pressure to bear.
Prince Ching is distinctly more
friendly to Great Britain than was Li
Hung Chang. The British, Ameri
can and Japaneso representatives here
have separately visited Prince .Clung
and insisted that they be shown any
treaty before it is signed. Prince
Ching has submitted to them the draft
of a treaty practically identical to the
treaty already published.
Prince Ching is now pressing Rus
sia for more definite terms, the pres
ent form of the treaty being so vague
in its important points as virtually to
leave Russa a free hand. The Japan
ese minister has taken a strong stand
in the matter, and has notified Prince
Ching that Japan will require conces
sions equivalent to all the advantages
conceded to Russia in Manchuria.
A PROSPEROUS LITTLE CITY.
Has a Population of Only 500, Yet Does the
Business of Much Larger Place.
Cody, Wyo., Dec. 16. Cody has a
population of about 500 and is grow
ing rapidly. It is tne terminus of
the Burlington Railroad, and will
probably remain the terminus for
several years to come. It is destined
to be the leading town of the Big
Horn Basin. It is the shipping
point for the flock owners of large
herds of sheep and cattle. It is sur
rounded by fertile land, much of
which is under cultivation, and much
more will be in the near future, as
there is an abundance of water.
There is untold mineral wealth in
the mountains around here, plenty
of good coal, millions of tons of the
finest quality of gypsum, oil and sul
phur deposits enough to keep hades
hot for centuries to come. The town
is incorporated. A contract has
been let within a week for a 50-room
stone hotel, the foundation for which
is completed. A good road has been
laid out, and the grading nearly com
pleted to the Yellowstone National
Park, the eastern boundary of which
is about 35 miles from here.
Well Treated by British.
New York, Dec. 16. Lieutenant
Colonel Quayle-Jonau, who, until
ordered to England to receive a col
onel's commission, was in charge of
the Boer prisoners at Bermuda, has
arrived here on the steamer Pretoria
from Bermuda, on his way to Eng
land. " He declared emphatically
that the stories that he Boer pris
oners were not treated kindly, that
they were in need of clothing, and
that they were not properly fed, were
without foundation.
Coal famine la Philadelphia,
Philadelphia, Dec 13. A coal
famine such as has not prevailed for
years exists at this port, by reason of
which both coastw ise ami West Indian
commerce is almost completely crip
pled. Orders for coal both from New
England and the West Indies are
ponring in, but the merchants find
themselves unable to make shipments.
This is in a great measure due to a
scarcity of cart to carry the coal from
the mine. ,

BAD TRAIN WRECKS.
Three Disasters in a Day's History of Rail
roading Lives Lost In Each.
Helena, Mont., Dec 17 A special
to the Independent from Kalispell
says a wreck occurred on the Great
Northern Railroad near Essex, in the
Rocky mountains, at 2 o'clock this
morning. The engine, mail car and
smoker remained on the track, but
all the others were derailed. Some
cars were overturned and all were
more or less wrecked. The accident
was due to rails spreading.
One man was killed, lie was prob
ably smothered to death. The debris
caught fire, but the flames were put
out by the uninjured passengers.
There is said to have been much loot
ing during the excitement. The
train was going at the rate of 25 miles
an hour when it broke in two. The
air brakes wore set immediately, pre
venting a more serious accident. The
largest number of injured were in
the day coach. All were asleep at the
time of the accident.
The Illinois Wreck.
Rockford, III., Dec. 17. Failure
on the part of a conductor to obey
orders is supposed to have been the
cause of a head-end collision on the
Illinois Central Railroad, between
Irene and Perryville, early today.
The two trains were the east bound
passenger train No.. 4 and a freight
train from Chicago going west. , As
a result eight people are dead or miss
ing and 11 injured.
The trains met in a slight bend in
the track, both running at full speed.
The smoker, express and baggage
cars were piled on the locomotives,
penning in the occupants of the
smoker. Only three of the half
dozen persons in that car escaped.
The others were penned in and if not
instantly killed were roasted to death
and their bodies, along with those of
the engine crews, were entirely con
sumed. All efforts of the survivors
to reach the victims were unavailing.
The flames drove them back from
every point.
The temperature was 20 degrees be
low zero and an icy(wind was blowing
across the prairie, the point where
the wreck occurred being a shallow
cut, affording no protection. The
injured were without hats and wraps
and suffered terribly. By the united
efforts of the survivors, the way car
was pushed back from the wreckage
to escape the flames and the wounded
were placed on the bunks inside.
Went Through a Bridge.
Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 17. A
freight train on the Philadelphia &
Erie division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad went through the bridge
spanning Lycoming creek, between
this city and Newberry, at 6 o'clock
this morning. Three lives were lost.
The train was known as fast freight
No. 83, and was running three hours
late, owing to the disarrangement of
schedule in consequence of the storm.
The bridge spanning the creek was
a two-span iron structure, the first
span of which gave way. The engine
and nine cars were engulfed in the
icy waters. The creek was greatly
swoolen as a result of the heavy rains,
and it is presumed that the middle
piece had been weakened. No efforts
could be made to reach the bodies on
account of the height of the waters.
TREATY AGREED UPON.
Hay Concludes Negotiations for the Danish
West Indies.
Washington, Dec. 18. As a result
of the negotiations that have been in
progress between Secretary. Hay and
Mr. Brun, the Danish minister, the
last obstacles of substance to the pre
paration of the treaty of cession
whereby the United States will be
come possessed of the Danish West
Indian islands have been removed.
It is said that the points of differ
ence have been adjusted in a manner
to insure the acceptance of the treaty
ly the United States senate, and it is
even possible that the convention
may lie laid before that body before
the holiday recess. The decision of
the supreme court in the insular cases
has made easier the preparation of
the treay on satisfacory lines.
Barn Full of Cars Burned.
Chicago, Dec. 18. The total de
strution of the Lincoln avenue car
barns of the Chicago Traction Com
pany, with more than 160 cars, re
sulted from a fire this morning. Be
sides the building, nearly all the grip
cars and trailers used on the Lincoln
avenue line were destroyed. Loss,
$130,000.
Snow la Scotland.
London. Dec. 18. The fall of snow
in Scotland is heavier than at any
time in 50 years. Several camekeen-
ers and shepherds are missing, and
the destruction ol sheep in the snow
drifts, which range from 10 . to 20
feet deep, is unprecedented. Parts of
England are suffering almost equally
from the heavy snow. A train which
was snowed up near Hartington on
Thursday, was released only today.
The frost is so severe today that out
side work has been suspended at many
points.
Issuance of Duplicate Medals.
Washington, Dec. 17. Senator
Mitchell has offered in the senate I
joint resolution authorizing the issu
anceof duplicate medals to such per
sons as have received them from the
president or congress, and subse
quently lost them. While this reso
lution is general in character, it is
primarily designed to restore to Gen
eral H. B. Conipson, of Portland, a
medal issued to him many years age.
TIIEATY RATIFIED
SENATE APPROVES THE HAY
PAUNCEFORTE AGREEMENT.
Only Six Dissenting Votes Seventy-Two
Members Voted in the Affirmative The
Principal Speech of the Day Was Made
by Senator Teller in Opposition Vote
Reached After Long Discussion.
Washington, Dec. 17. The senate
yesterday ratified the Hay-Pauncefote
isthmian canal treaty by the decisive
vote of 72 to 6. The vote was reached
a few minutes before 5 o'clock, after
almost an hour's discussion behind
closed doors. There were no sensa
tional incidents during the entire
time. The debate was confined ex
clusively to a discussion of the mer
its of the agreement, and the policy
of its provisions The principal speech
of the day was made by Senator Teller
in opposition to the treaty, and he
was followed in rapid succession by
12 or 15 other senators, who spoke
briefly either for or against the
motion to ratify.
When the treaty was laid before
the senate Senator Teller expressed
confidence that the resolution would
be adopted, and while he had no pur
pose toattepnit to prevent that result,
he was convinced that there are few
senators who are really satisfied with
the treaty. With Great Britain in
her present mood he believed, he
said, it would have been possible to
secure a treaty which would give en
tire satisfaction, and he criticised the
state department for failing to do so.
He took the position that it would
have been sufficient to abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and said that
England knew well enough that with
that result accomplisehd sho could
very well trust the United States to
maintain the neutrality of the canal,
as the country could be prepared to
do so for many years.
benator Culbertson offered an
amendment to insert the Davis forti
fication paragraph of the last session.
This was defeated, 15 to 62.
Senator Bacon then offered an
amendment striking out in tho pre
amble the reference to the Clayton
Bulwer treaty the words "without im
paring the general principle of neu
tralization established in article 8
of that convention"; also the follow
ing words in article 7 relative to the
purchase of stock, "subject to the
provisions of the 'present treaty";
also all of article 3, relative to the
neutralization of the canal; also all
of article 4, declaring against change
of territorial sovereignty, and was
defeated, 18 to 60.
The treaty then was ratified by a
vote of 72 t j 6.
SEVEREiSTORM IN MAINL.
One of the Worst in the History of the Stale
Damage Is Large.
Portland, Me., Dec. 18. This state
is suffering tonight from one of the
severest storms in its history. Floods
and washouts have been numerous.
Trains are delayed, and mills on the
Androscoggin, Kennebec and Penob
scott were all unable to start their
machinery this morning because of
high water.
Many cities and towns report that
great damage has been done to strocts,
families have been driven from their
homes, and street railways are inop
erative from floods. Up to tonight,
only one death had been reported,
that of a fireman on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, whose engine
plunged into a washout. A similar
accident on the Maine Central result
ed in the injury of three persons, one
of whom may die.
Madison, on the Upper Kennebec
river, sustained the greatest damage
from floods of any place, it being

FILIPINO MURDERS.
Death Sentence Passed on tne Leader of a
Band of Ladrones.
Washington, Deo. 16. A mili
tary commission in the Philippines,
headed by Major Henry S. Turrill,
surgeon, sentenced Juan Olivar, a
Filipino, to be hanged. Olivar wag
the leader of a band of ladrones which
made an attack upon the house of
Theodore Labrador, president of
Minea, Fanay, and captured him, his
brother, wife, grandmother, god
mother, small daughter and a police
man. The grandmother, godmother
and daughter were shot to death in
the vicinity of the capture; Labrador,
his wife, and the policeman were
taken to an isolated spot and killed
with bolos. The brother made his
escape. Incidentally Olivar and his
band robbed Labrador of 78 carts, 800
pesos and other articles
General Chaffee criticised the pro
ceedings on the ground that the ac
cused was charged solely with the
murder of Labrador, assault upon
him with intent to kill, and robbery,
while the murder of the three women,
one small girl and the policeman
was not included in the charges.
A band of Tu !ianes, armed with
bolos, rifles and daggers, killed 11
members of the Echevarra family at
Naro, Masbate, on August 14, 1900,
for the sole reason that the victims
were Spaniards. Two members of
the band were brought to trial and
were sentenced to be hanged. But
in view of the fact that the more
responsible participants in this crime
already had paid the death penalty,
tne sentences were commuted by
General Chaffee to life imprisonment.
Ygnaoio Siaoting, an insurgent
leader operating against the American
government after having taken the
oath of allegiance, was sentenced to
be hanged for murdering a woman
suspected of friendliness to the United
States.

monts will permit and will consul
Admiral Schley to fight the caae to a
nnisn Dy every appeal that is possible.
He said :
"I would prefer now not to say
anything in connection with the
opinion. I think the country will
almost unanimously accept Admiral
Dewey's judgment. The testimony
was so overwhelming upon almost
every one of the specifications in favor
of Admiral Schley that I must con
foss I am utterly at a loss to under
stand upon what facts or upon the
evidonco of what witnesses the other
two members ol the court reached
their conclusion.
"I am absolutely satisfied that tho
opinion of the two iudees is at total
variance with the opinion of the
country, and this will not by any
means terminate the controversy. I
shall advise the admiral to fitrht it
to a finish, to open it by every appeal
uiai is possible, congressional or
otherwise, and I believe that tlm
sentiment of the whole country will
uphold him in his resolve not to let
tne judgment ptand."
