It is expected that she will proceed to the United States at once. The Information that clearance had been allowed came in a dispatch to Adjutant- General Corbin this morning from Colonel Metcalf, commanding the Twentieth Kan- sas, and the troops aboard the trans- port. It 18 supposed clearance papers were al- lowed upon the suggestion of the British Foreign Office to the British Governor at Hongkong that it would be unwise to In- terfere with American transports. An- other dispatch from Colonel %delcnlf in repl;i to one sent yesterday states that the Tartar was no more overcrowded and that the food was as good as on other transports leaving Manila. He sald that the trouble arose among the discharged regular soldiers who were returning home on board the ship. .

It is said that as a result of the forcible collection of taxes by the emissaries of the insurgents, who take all they have got, the natives are in a state of semi- starvation. They have no faith in the Tagalos and they earnestly desire Ameri- can protection. An_ insurgent leader, General Luzban, has bolted to Japan, taking with him $2600 collected by him for the insurgents. The agents of the insurgents endeavor to force the natives to join their forces, which they will not do. The condition in the island, it s asserted, is rapidly ap- proaching riot and anarchy, as the heavy and continued drag upon them in the form of tribute exasperates them, and they, the letter says, threaten desperate disturbance if it continues.

Reeve forms the subject of a complaint made yesterday by Federal Quarantine Officer Kinyoun to Port Collector Jackson. Dr. Kinyoun alleges that when the Government trans- ort Sheridan arnived on the night of eptember 7, General Reeve in a gasoline launch approached the vessel, and with- out giving any heed to the warning of the customs and quarantine olficials not to come on b because she “ad not "} vet been given a clean bill of health, | boarded her. | The gasoline launch which had brought him moved away, and not wishing to take the responsibility of throwing him, over- board to the sharks,” the officials’ were obliged to allow him to remain. General Reeve. in explanation of his act, said that he had not been warned not to go on board the Sheridan, and that he was not aware that he was violating | any law or regulation.

DENVER, Colo., Sept. 14.—Napoleon F. Guyot, late private of Company G, First Colorado Volunteers, who during the last three months of 1808 served as clerk un- der Major Kilbourn, and later under Lieutenant Colonel Potter, auditor of pub- lic accounts, Manila, publishes this even ing a signed statement in which the gravest charges of corruption are made against the American officials in Manila. He says an examination of the vouchers forwarded to Washington will show that exorbitant prices are paid for all kinds of supplies purchased in Manila; that vast quantities of high-class wines and other supplies have been purchased os- tensibly for the Spanish hospitals, while in the American hospitals only the coars- est supplies are furnished. He says courts-martial of private soldiers charged with selling Government property have been stopped because they would result in the exposure of official rascality. The robberies, he asserts, will aggregate an enormous sum. : 22 Next SUNDAY'S CALL will be a marvel of beautiful illustrations —its half-tone work being es- lover of music and be a useful and pretty acquisi- tion to your pnrlpr ~.$5.50 Sofa cushions, creton covered and ruffled; variety of patterns.
