Manila, July 4.—Two retail docn* mimts have lately lawn circulated in Manila the most important of which is an alleged proclamation from Agui- naldo concerning the coming civil com mission. The proclamation warns the Filipino people to Iwware of the coin- inissioii and its promises of future bene lite, ami begs them never to give up their arms iu ihe vain hope of thereby enjoying ultimate freedom and bappl- •less. 'Ihe proclamation states shat th*- I'ominisaou is appointed by I'reai- -lent McKinley, anil not by the Ameri can congress; that It has not authority to tn at or lake any action whatever in the iiaiue of the government, and pre dicts for tiie commission headed l>y Judge 1 nil the same end as that whi< h ntli ni"l the peace < omnii«aion of last year, which Aguinaldo ileacrilies ar« farcical and ridiculous. He dwells at ■ ousiilrrable bngth opon statumeuta to show this commission has no legal or official »taii'liug. and latgs, implores and ori'i-rs the l llipino people not to la- deceived by them nor to give ti their arms iq-on their representatioi II" then gm-« on to say that if the oom- iniaalonera virit Ihe smaller towns and provinces of Luzon they are to lie re cened well and with enthusiasm. “Ask thrm for the kind ol municipal goier->meut you moat deaire, and lai not afraid to s|a'ak boldly to them, ilemeuilier the dark daya of Spanish * utrage» are jiast. ami that the Ameri cana allow irvi-<loin of speech.” In nth* r words, gut ail you can out of the coiiimission. but put no faith in them, Ihe pr<M'laiioition i-u ls with cries for Filipino lila-rty and inde|>eudeuce, ia signed by Aguinaldo. and dateil May 4. ou tbe island of I’olillo, which 1« situated on the east coast of Luzon.

No proof has been ob tained lo sustain thia theory, and there 1» just us much reason to believo the document is legitimate as Hi claim that it is spurious. Aa far as Its effect and influence over the Filipino jH*«ple are concerned. It is sufficient that it be signed by Aguinaldo’« name to carry great weight with them. Ihe proclamation is very similar in purpirt to one I'ircnlated here about 10 days ago, printed in Spanish nud sent over to Manila from liong Kong by th*' junta. These proclamations were con- <eiil**d in the soles of shipnienta of shoe«, ami wire very generally circu lated throughout the city. The other insurgent communication referred to is a long letter from General Triuo hi the foreign <-on«ul« in Manila, in which lie attempted to vindicate the Filipino |ieopli* from any responsibility in the recent massacres of Spanish prisoners iu the Uamariuea pro* luces.

July 4 —The allies are not advancing for. the relief of I’ekin.

Mr. Broderick read the dis- ■atches received today, and said the total allied force available ia now about 18,000. aa troojM have been rapidly ad vancing, adding: “We do not yet know what arrange ments have lieen made locally regard ing the command of an expediton, Irat it has not yet been thought possible to attempt a further advance. The con suls have l>e»u in communication with th*- viceroys in the Yaugate legion and they are quite well aware that support will be given them by her majesty’s government in preeerving order. It is obviously ini|"isslble that the repre sentatives of the power« at I’ekin should be consulted, as no communica tions are passing between them.” “The situation is desperate. Hasten. ” These words from the message of Von Bergen, a member of the German lega tion at I’ekin, countersigned by Sir Robert Hart, inspector-general of cus toms, and dated nine days ago, are tlie theme of all private comment. They are preparing for news of a frightful tragedy. Nine days ago the ammuni tion of the little garrison defending the foreigner* was running low, and their fooil was nearly exhausted, while around them was a horde of Kan Su braves having at their service Krupp guns and repeating rifles. I’ekin was iu the hands of the revolutionaries. While nothing but sinister news comes from Northern China, Southern China is seemingly breaking away from the empire. All the provinces south of the Yellow river, whose vice roys anil governors maintain friendly relations with the powers through the consuls, have been informally consti tuted into a confederacy with Nankin as the capital. According to an express cable from Shanghai, dated July 2, the Southern viceroy« wholly disavow i’rince Tuans’ government. They have practically constituted an independent state, ex tending fiom the Hoang IJo to the Brit ish and French frontiers.

The powers look more and more to Japan to supply the force necessary at once to giapple with tbe foimidable rebellion. TROUBLE IN MOROCCO. A Biot IlrauMrd in the American. Death of an Tangier, July 4. —There is great ex citement at Fez, owing to French en croachments on the Oasis of Touat. A mob killed the manager of a French concern, who was an American citizen. The British consul has demanded the assistance of the authorities to protect this house, and the Jewish ghetto is besieged. The legation here is making serious representations on the subject. The name of the victim of the mob was Marcos F.ssagin. The outrage oc curred Thursday last. Essagin, while riding on horseback through a narrow street, jostled against the mule of a Moroccoan religious fanatic, and a dis pute ensued, tile crowd which gathered siding with the priest. Essagin, in sell defense, drew liis revolver and tired, wounding a native. This was a signal tor a general attack upon the American, who received dozens of knife wounds and whose body was burned, according to some, before life was extinct. The French minister was informed of tho crime by a special messenger, and he notified the Ameri can consul. Botli the minister and tlie consul called u|sui Sidi Torres, the sultan’s minister of foreign affaire, at Tangier, and protested against the out rage. Shot th«« Girl and II ini nr If.
