tho plan.
Tha popnlnoi, it was thonoht, had
been prepared for the at to mot by a fa

would p-irsoually lead the ontbreak.
Tho American authorities haviu? bflen

"aMvp. delflTntions from tho towns
whre General Lawton estoblishnd civil
governments presented wreaths. Wo
men from the same towns waited on
Mrs. Lawton Friday and presented her
with their condolences atid flowers.
Crowds of natives and Americans wit
nessed the pronpssion. The band played
dirges nni tho crowds uncovered. At
Pasig tho casket was transferred to a
tuff, "tnps" was sounded and praverg
were offered by Chanlnin Pierce. Four

An American advance in Cavite prov
ince, south of Manila, was expected
shortlv. Reliable reports from native
spies showed that there were nnward of
2.0!X) orgamzod insurgents nndnr arms
within a mil of linns. Thev were
Bten!?theIlin' their entrenchments and
possed artillerv.
At Noveleta the Filipino entrench
ments had benn mnch strengthened
since General S'hwan's advance, but
l.OtX) of tho enemv were in that, vicinity
and there were fi01 nt San Francisco do
Malabon. From 12 to 100 garrisoned
all the towns in tho southern part of
Cavite province and rlje same misht be
aid of the towns in Bntaneas province.
The provinces of North Cimnrinag
and South Camarines hold quantities of
hemp, which the people would not mar
ket. As a consequence the popnlntion
in that part of Luzon was suffering
from lack of food. Rice cost four times
its normal price. . .
It was estimated that 1,000 insnrgents
are entrenched at Calamba.
Reports were received that about
2,000 insurgents were massed at Monnt
Arayat, having strong positions which
commanded steep and narrow trails,
and thev were prepared to roll boulders
down upon advancing rroons.
Life along the coast of Cagavau and
north nud sonth Ilocos was resnming
normal couriitioti'. Tho American
troops ' occupied tha important towns
and patrolled the oountrv roads. The
natives Implored tho Americans to cin
linue the occupation, to establish a set
tled government and to terminate the
uncertainty, abuses and confiscations
that have characterized the rule of the
Tagalog revolutionists during about the
last 18 months.
Vast amounts of tobacco, estimated to
be worth (2.000,000, were ready for
shipment to Manila. The opening of
the ports of Daennan, San Fernando,
Vigau, Laoag and Aparri, scheduled for
today, will permit the resumption of
trade, briniii? relief to communities
greatly in uwed of foodstuffs. Many
vessels had already cleared from Manila
for these ports.
Iueoming Spanish prisouers declared
that Aguinal lo had ordered the release
of all Spaai&iis in pobsesslou of the reb-
sis. The mountain p.issos of Cagayen
tnd the two Ilocos provinces were
guarded, iu the hope of capturing the
insurgent general, Tiuio, who was a
fugitive. It was asserted that Lieuten
ant Gilltnore was iu Tinio's custody.
OLD EMFLOYES PENSIONED.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2. The system
of petitioning old employes of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company on the lines
last of Pittsburg was inaugurated New
Year's day. About 950 men who, by
reason of long service in the company '4
employ have, become incapacitated for
further active duty, were retired on
pensions that average nearly half the
wages tbey received when at work.
It was understood that a sum approxi
mating $300,000 is at present available
for pensioning purposes, aud that before
the system can be extended to the lines
west of Pittsburg a much larger appro
priatiou will be necessary. No person
holding a position of importance had
beeu affected by the pension rule. Here
after no piTsou over 35 years of age will
be taken into the employ of the com
pauy.

Washington-, Jan. 2. At the White
House reception, on New Year's day,
about 3,354 guests passed down the line,
Mrs fJcKiuley was present, desoite hut
feeble health. She remained in the blue
parlor only through the strictly official
suction of the program, retiring then, aa
had been previously arranged. With
the flush of excitement on her usually
pale face she looked bright aud happy
as she led tha. cabinet procession down
the corridor with the president to the
bluo room.
The official procession moved down
the ctair and through to the blue
parlor, where the receiving party was
to take its stand. Mrs. McKiuley bowed
and smiled to the little crowd of fa
vored spectators who filled the end ol
the corridor to witness this opening act
of the day's ceremonies. As she turned
into the bluo room she kissed the lips of
her white gloved Augers to some of the
children who waved thoir hands to hei
from a point of vantage near the door.
Tue troublesome question of prece
dence between the army and navy wai
settled in favor of the former, General
Miles 1'iuliiig the military contingent,
with Adiutaut General Corhin at. hit
left side. After tho army had passed in
review Admiral Dowey, with the vener
able Admiral Melville on his arm, led
tho line. . Mrs. Dowoy was wi;h the re
ceiving party aud was escorted in on the
arm of Secretary Long.
The diplomatic, corps,' which headed
the list of guests,, was always the show
feature of the reception.' ' Lord Paunoe
fote, the British ambassador and dean
of tLe corps, led the way. The display
of uniforms was brilliant, Turkish fez,
gilded orders of the continental powers,
the fur-trimmed tunics aud high, pol
ished boots of tho Russians, the queer,
sage greeu, gold eucrusted uniforms of
the Japauese and the ermine trimmed
silken robes of the Koreans and Chi
nese ull ec'-'.ned to form a picture of
unusual brilliancy.
Following thoso tho American offi
cials, judges of the Supreme court, sen
ators aud representatives, department
chief and tho like, made a longer if less
striking procession. The reception to
the general public concluded the func

Rome, Jan. 1. It was asserted that
the pope, after the recent ceremony of
the holy door at St. Peter's cathedral,
addressed his intimate entourage and
said:
"I thank Divine Providence for grant

reign, to the greater glory of God.
"My successor will be young, as com

and the church." . .
Later Leo clearly designated Cardinal
Girolumo Mario Gotti, perfect of the
congregation of indulgences aim sacred
relics, us his successor. Cardinal GoUi,
the famous Geonose monk, is a man of
great piety and modesty. Now ab-.rat

London, Jau. 1. The following helio
graph message was received by way of
Woeneu from ' Ladysmith, dated
Wednesday, Dec. 27:
"The Boers are actively, bombarding
tho town. One hell struck the Devon
shire mess tent, killing Captain Dalzell
aud wounding seven lieutenants, Dent,
Twus, Tringhain. Ooffyu. Byrne, Scafe
audliane."
A later dispatch from Ladysmith by
way of Weaucu, dated Friday, Deo. 29,
said:
"All well. The Boers have tsen fir
ing plugged shells containing pi am pud
ding und the compliments of the season.
They are still fortifying their positions
and are evidently determined to make a
firm stand."
Fkere Camp, Natal, Saturday, Doc

ing at Cape Town: ' .
"IJethnen's position is unchanged.
"French reports that Boers, fearing
their communications would be cut by

"Hear unofficially from Sterkstrom
that a British reconnaissance, seven

Capk Town, Thnrsday, Dec. 28. The
colonial atitlioritit s are using every pre
caution to prevent an insurrection on
the pare of the dirfyal Dutch iu Cape
colony and to Bppress a njfugit ou6
snouia occur. Driusii colonists are oea
ing organized into home guards, drilled,
armed aud ready to act iu their respec
tive localitus, should armed Dutch co
lonials gather.
The niartnoss of tho British makes
united action on the part of pro-Boei
residents diftioult. Unable toact openly,
they slipaway singly, or io small groups,
to join the enemy's forces. Thy author!
ties have been informed of many cen
ters of agitation, which it is cousidared
undesirable to particularize, bub there ii
nothing like concerted ' action apparent
over wide distriots.
The case or Mr. Miuhan, solicitor to
tho De Beers company, who is accused
of treason, acquires increased import
ance, as ho has been transferred from
the custody of the civil authorities here
to tho military authorities at De Aar.
.His high iositiou causes the Dutch to
watch his caso keenly.
Parties of Boers have becu operating
some 70 miles south of Lord Methuen's
position. Boer3 appeared on Christmas
day near the railway, about 29 miles
south' of De Aar.- A force of tho Duke
of Edinburgh's own vlunteors pre
pared to eugago them, but the enemy
retired.
Another party fired into tho British
patrol camp dunug . tho night of
Wednesday, Dec. 27. This was near
Victoria road. An attempt was made
not far from that point to damage the
railway. Ou e man was caught in the
act aud shot.
A similar attempt was made between
Muttiersolei aud Klapmnts, but the
would-be wreckers esoap;d. Like at
tempts are rdpsrted from several other
points. Eiieutly snail pirties of
Boers or Dutch colonials have boon try
iug to interrupt the movement of trains,
but thus far have b :en baffled by the
elaborate British patrolling.
In oue case a patrol of regulars fire 1
ou a patrol of Colonials. The latter
were wearing broad brimmed hats and
were mistaken by tha British for Boers.
No casualties occurred, but in conse
quence of the incident an order has
been issued requiring all classes of
troops to wear helmets.
GERMANS MUCH AROUSED.
Negotiation Already Regno Bexardlng
Kelaure of a German Ntenmer by
lirlti.h Hhlp.
Berlin, Jan. 1. Regarding the seiz
ure by the British cruiser Magicicnne
of the imperial mail steamer Bunders
rath of the German East African line,
a high official of the German foreign
office, who was interviewed, said:
"Silence must be preserved at present
concerning the actual status of the ne
gotiations which have been begun with
Great Britaiu about the matter. Ap
propriate steps have been takon, of
which Germony must await the result.
The matter is regarded by Germany of
the utmost importance, because seri
ously involving the rights of neutrals."
The foreign secretary, Conut von
Buelow, conferred at the foreign office
with his official advisors aud then re
ported to the emperor. A cabiuet meet
lag will consider the seizure,
i It was also asserted in government
circles that the British right of search is
questioned and that iu any cveut the
British right to stop passengers, whether
they intend to fight for the Boers or
not, is strennonsly disputed, as the ves
sel upon which they were is neutral and
the territory to which they were pro
ceeding, namely Dclagoa Ray, is also
neutral. Redress, it was assorted, will
be iiinisU'd upon by Germany.
The German press unanimously con
demned British acti.m in the Bunders
ratli seizure, which was characterized
as "an instance of grons insolence" and
is "calculated again to illustrito tho
peed of a powerful German navy to ren
der such overt action on the part of
England impossible, iu the future."
