Manila, Oct. 30.—The constabulary report a fight with insurgents near Passi, province of Ho Ilo, isjand of Panay, in which 25 insurgents were killed, together with a quantity of arms and ammunition captured. News from General Hughes regard ing conditions in Cebu are encourag ing. Lorega surrendered with his entire force and one cannon and seven rifles, while General Hughes is negotiating for the surrender of Maxilo, who styles himself “Governor Politico-Militar.” His surrender will mean the pacification of the island. Lack of food and the harrassing effects of the aggressive tactics now pursued by the American forces are having their influence upon the na tives. In many places, where rice is doled out by the government, only enough is given for one meal, so that it is hardly possible for any large amount to find its way to the insurg ents. It is believed that the recent manifestations in the island of Samar were chiefly due to the lack of food. The first labor problem growing out of the new tariff has arisen. A hat and umbrella factory, employing GOO hands, has found it necessary to close. The lawyers are making a protest to the commission, urging protection, as the same goods from Germany can be sold at half the price it takes to manufacture them here. In an attack by insurgents on the municipal police and scouts at Sa- bang, one scout was killed and two of the police were captured. The in surgents secured two Krag-Jorgenson rifles, two shotguns and 200 rounds of ammunition. Dispatches from Catbalogan, Samar, say that stringent and ener getic measures are being taken to sup press the insurrection in that island. General Smith has notified all the presidents and head men of the pueb los that they must surrender all arms and turn over the persons implicated in the Balangiga massacre before November 6, threatening that other wise the presidents will be sent to the island of Guam, the village destroyed and the property confiscated. Fourteen people were killed in a race riot in Louisana. Lieutenant General Miles has sub mitted his annual report. The state dpeartment is more san guine of saving Miss Stone. Kains in Argentine have greatly weakened the wheat market. Chinese government is being reor ganized on conservative lines. The British barks Bowman B. Law and Gl^nogle were destroyed by fire. Admiral Schley will call two more witnesses and the prosecution about 15. Senator Hoar asks to be excused from delivering a eulogy on McKin ley. All preparations for the execution of Czolgosz, the assassin, have been completed. The Schley court of inquiry is slow ly dragging itself along, with no definite time set for its closing. Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, was electrocuted. He went to the chair junconfessed and unrepentant. , If the rumors concerning the condi tion of King Edward are well found ed, it is barely possible that he may never be crowned king of England. There is a scarcity of firewood at Salem. Chile and Argentine are preparing for war. King Edward is suffering from can cer of the throat. Weyler denies that he aspires to a Spanish dictatorship. Two steamers have arrived at Port Townsend from Nome. MILLION DOLLAR FRAUD. Twenty-five insurgents were killed in a fight near Ilo Ilo.

MET FATE WITH BRUTAL INDIFFERENCE Refuied to Accept Religiou* Coniolation or to Renounce Anarchy—Body Buried In Priion Grounds—No Ceremony. Auburn, N. Y., Oct 29.—Leon Czol gosz, the assassin of President Mc Kinley, was electrocuted at 7:12:30. Czolgosz passed a quiet night. He slept nearly all night. He awoke finally at 4:45 o’clock. He suffered a sight nervous attack late yesterday, but remained sullen and stoic up to the time the prison closed at 10 o’clock. He refused to heed the words of the priests who came to urge spiritual preparation for death and declined to re-embrace Roman Catholicism or to renounce anarchism. Czolgosz showed no strength of love for kin. nor did he turn to any of those higher consider ations which ordinarily claim the thoughts of men occupying his posi tion. He may have suffered untold torture, but outwardly he seemed sullen and indifferent. The state is not to surrender possession of his body, and by sundown it will have been secretly interred in ground con trolled by the officials of Auburn prison. Czolgosz held his last two inter views last night, the first with Super intendent Collins and the second with his brother and brother-in-law. Both of the interviews were brief. The interviewers did most of the talking until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from his seeming lethargy and vio lently denounced the church and the clergy and made his relatives promise that there should be no service for him, living or dead. When his brother and brother-in-law bid him farewell, he turned and walked to the other side of the cell and refused to answer them. A PLOT ON 8HAH’8 LIFE.
