Manila, Jan. 8. The first movement
of a general southern advance occurred,
when two battulionsof the Thirty-ninth
Infantry lu tided and occupied Cabuyao
on the south fine of Laguna de Bay.
Two Americans were killed and four
were wounded. Twenty-four of the
enemy's dead were found iu oue honse.
One hundred and fifty prisouers and
foci fix ponuJ rapid fire guns were cap

bombs, a few firearms and 500 rounds
of ammunition were discovered in a

Tim popnlaoo, it wai thought, had
been prepared for the attempt by a fu

would pirsouallv lead the outbreak.
Tho American authorities haviu? bfle'i

with their condolences and fliwers.
' Crowds of natives and Americans wit
nessed the proopssion. The band olayed

Pasig the casket was transferred to a

were offered by Clianlnin Pierce. Four
enlisted pallbeawrs noeouipiny the re

An American advance in Cavite prov
ince, south of Manila, was expected
shortlv. Reliable reports from native
spies showed that there were nnward of
2.000 organized insurgents nndr arms
within a wil of Inius. Thev were
Btrenarthenin-' fieir entrenchments and
pos'cised nrtillerv.
At Noveleta the Filipino entrench
ments had ben much strengthened
since General 8chwan's advance, hut
1,000 of the encmv were in that vicinity
nnd there were Ml nt San Francisco do
Malahon. From 13 to 100 garrisoned
all the towns in the southern part of
Cavite province and tljo same mlffht be
raid of the towns In Bntaneas province.
The provinces of North CimnTinns
and South Camarines hold quantities of
hemp, which the people would not mar
ket. As a consequence the population
in that part of Luzon was suffering
from lack of food. Rice cost four times
its normal price. . ,
It was estimated thnt 1,000 insurgents
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 bonlders
down upon advancing troops.
Life along tho coast of Cagavau and
north and sonth I locos was resuming
normal conditions. Tho American
troops ' occupied the important towns
and patrolled the counrrv roads. The
natives implored the Americans to c in
linue the occupation, to establish a set
tled government and to terminate the
uncertainty, abases 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 Dagnpau, San Fernando,
Vigau, I-fioag and Aparri, scheduled for
today, will permit tlie resumption of
trade, briniug relief to communities
greatly in need of foodstuffs. Mauy
vessels had already cleared from Manila
for these ports. ,
Incoming Spanish prisoners declared
that AguiuaMo had ordered the release
of all Spaniards ia possession of the reb-
sis. The mountaiu passos of Cugayen
nd the two Ilocos provinces were
guarded, iu the hope of capturing the
insurgent general, Tinio, who was a
fugitivo. It was asserted that Lieuten
ant Gillmore was iu Tinio's custody. .
OLD EMPLOYES PENSIONED.

or I'lttshurg-.
Phil uiF.LPiiiA, Jan. 2. The system
of petitioning old employes of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company on the lines
tast of Pittsburg was inaugurated New
Year's day. About 050 men who, by
reason of long service in the company's
employ have become incapacitated for
further active duty, were retired on
pensions that nverage 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
priation will be necessary. No person
holding a position of importance had
been affected by the pension rule. Here
after no persou over 8(5 years of age will
bo taken into the employ of the com
pauy.
WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION.
Mrs. McKlnley Able to Be In Line With
the l'realdeiit Mile Given l'reo
deore Over Dewey.
Washington, Jau. 2. At the White
House reception, on New Year's day,
about 3,354 guests passed down the line,
Mrs ilcKiuloy was present, despite bet
feeble health. She remained in the blue
parlor only through the strictly official
section of the program, retiring then, ai
had been previously arranged. With
the flush of excitement on her usually
pale face she looked bright aud happy
as she led the cabinet procession down
the corridor with the president to the
bine room.
The official procession moved down
the stair aud through to the blue
parlor, where tlie receiving party was
to take its stand. Mrs. McKiuloy bowed
and smiled to the little crowd of fa
vored spectators who filled tlie 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 oi
her white gloved fiugcrs to some oi the
children who waved their hands to bet
from a point of vantage near the door.
Tue troublesome (jue'stion of prece
dence between the army aud uavy wai
settled in favor of the former, General
Miles leading the military contingent,
with AdiuUut General Corbin ac. hit
left side. After the nrmy had passed in
review Admiral Dowey, with the vener
able Admiral Melville on his arm, led
tho line. . Mrs. Dowey was wi;h the re
ceiving party aud wasesoorted in on the
arm of Secretary Long.
Tlie diplomatic corps, which headed
the list of guests,, was always the show
feature of the reception.'' Lord Pauuce
fote, the British ambassador and dean
of tie corps, led the way. The display
of uniforms was brilliant, Turkish fez,
gilded orders of the continental powers,
the fur-trimmed tunics and high, pol
ished boots of the Russians, tlie queer,
sane green, gold eucrusted uniforms of
the Japanese and the ermino trimmed
silken robes of tho Koreans and Chi
nese ull combined to form a picture of
unusual brilliancy.
Following these the American offi
cials, judges of tlie Supreme court, sen
ators aud representatives, department
chief nnd tho like, made a longer if less
striking procession. The reception to
the general public concluded the func
tion. THE POPE'3 SUCCESSOR,
Sovereign l'oiitlflr Maid to Have Indicated
Cardinal Glrolamo Mario Gotti
ai His Choir.
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
ing me the grace of being able to cele
brate this great function, and I wish for
mv successor grandeur aud a long
reign, to the greater glory of God.
"My successor will be young, as coui'
pared with my own ago, and will have
time to see many glories of the papacy
and the church."
Later Leo clearly designated Oardiual
Girolamo Mario Gotti, perfect of the
congregation of indulgences ana sacred
relics, us his successor. Cardinal GoUi,
the famous Geonese monk, is a man of
great piety and modesty. Now about
64 years of age, he ha always lived the
life of an ascetic; and despite the dig
nity of a prince of the church, he al
ways sleeps in a cell and on a hard mat
tress. A UNITED CHRISTIAN PARTY.

Wednesday, Dec. 27:
"The Boers are actively, bombarding

A later dispatch from Ladysmith by
way of Weouou, dated Friday, Deo. 29,
said:
"All well. The Boers have taen fir
ing plugged shells containing plain pud
ding and the compliment s of the season.
They are still fortifying their positions
and are evidently determined to make a
firm stand."
Fkkre Camp, Natal, Saturday, Dec

been cut off on tho south side. Tbey are
reported to bo in the hills to the right of

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

"Hear unofficially from Sterkstrom

Cape Town, Thursday, Dec. 28. The
colonial authorities are using every pre
caution to prevent ail insurrection on
the part of the dijjlftyal Dutch iu Cape
colony and to sfpress a nyugif oue
snouia occur, ijinisn coionisis are oljp
ing organized iuto home guards, drilled,
armed and ready to act in their respec
tive localities, should armed Dutch co
lauiaU gather.
The aiertuoss of the British makes
united action ou the part of pro-Boei
residents diffioult. Unable to act openly,
they slip away singly, or in small groups,
to joiu the enemy's forces. Tha author!
ties have been informed of mauy cen
ters of agitation, which it is considered
undesirable to particularize, bat there il
nothing like concerted ' action apparent
over wide districts.
The case of Mr. Miuhau, solicitor to
tho Do Beers company, who is accused
of treason, acquires increased import
ance, us ho has been transferred from
the custody of the civil authorities here
to the military authorities at De Aar.
.His high position causes the Dutch to
watch his case keenly.
Parties of Boers have been operating
Bonie 70 miles south of Lord Methnen's
position. Boer3 appeared on Christmas
day near tho railway, about 29 miles
south' of De Aar.- A force of the Duke
of Edinburgh's own volunteers pre
pared to engage 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
ran way. On e man was caught in the
act and shot.
A similar attempt was made between
Multiersoioi aud Klapmuts, but the
would-be wreckers esoapid. Like at
tempts are rjpirted from several other
poiuts. E'.'ileutly snail pirties of
Boers or Dutch colonials have boon try
ing to interrupt the movement of trains,
but thus far have bien baffled by the
elaborate British patrolling.
In oue case a patrol of regulars fired
on 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.

Kelzure of a tierman Kteuiner by
Brliinh Mhl.
Berlin, Jan. 1. Regarding the seiz
ure by the British cruiser Magicic-nne
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 Britain about the matter. Ap
propriate steps have been taken, of
which Germony must await the result.
The matter is regarded by Germany of
the utuiost importance, because seri
ously involving the rights of neutrals."
The foreign secretary, Count von
Buelow, conferred at the foreign office
with his official advisors and then re
ported to the emperor. A cabinet meet
lag will consider the seizure.
It was also asserted in government
circles that the British right of search is
questioned and that iu any event the
British right to stop passengers, whether
they intend to fight for the Boers or
not, is strenuously disputed, as the ves
sel upon which they were is neutral and
the territory to which they were pro
ceeding, namely Dulagoa Bay, is also
neutral. Redress, it was asserted, will
beiiiHistwi upon by Germany.
The German press unanimously con
demned British action iu the Bunders
rat li seizure, which was characterized
as "an instance of gross insolence" and
ts "calculated again to illustrto the
need of a powerful German navy to ren
der such overt action on the part of
England im possible iu the future."
