Washmerton. Julv 16. Thisthas been a day of conferences and action in gov- j ernment circles. Members of the cab inet held frequent consultations among themselves and with the president in Canton. As a result more troops will be sent to China, probably enough to increase the American representation to fifteen thousand. Some troops were ordered to China today. The question of calling an extra session of con gress remains for the president to set tle and the seriousness of the situa tion. He is on his way to Washington tonight, having abandoned his vaca tion to come to his post of duty. The conferences were mostly held in Secretary Hay's office. It was appar ent from the beginning that the senti ment of the cabinet is opposed to an extra session unless the situation ne cessitates more troops than the gov ernment is now able to furnish. There is also opposition to a declara tion of war against China, as all ad vices inee;!thja-tit4'toTgQvjern-ment U iwilllnff but iunabl a - protect .the foreigners. No difficulty was ex perienced in reaching the conclusion that more troops are needed. As a re sult of the cabinet councils all troops originally intended for the Philippines Tut"given orders to proceed to Naga saki for instructions will be sent to China. These with the troops sent from the Philippines will bring the American representation up to more than 10,000. In addition several regiments wrill be sent from the United States and Cuba, probably 5,000. To these should be added 1,200 more marines, making a total representation of 17,000 men. Orders were issued this afternoon for the despatch of four batteries of artil lery from the Pacific coast, and ar rangements are being made for two regiments from Cuba and two or three more from, the United States. General Miles recommends taking more from the Philippines, but Secretary Root considers this impossible in view of the fact that MacArthur has spared all the men he could with safety to the Ameri can interest. Major General Bates may be sent from the Philippines to command in China. FURTHER DETAILS. London, July 16. The Shanghai cor respondent of the Daily Mail gives further details of the repulse of the al lied forces at Tien Tsintut does not indicate the source of his information. When the allied forces approached the walled city they found the Chinese forces expecting tiem to attack. The Chinese had guns mounted on the walls and Hie force almost mowed down the attacking forces. Colonel Liscum was killed at the head of his regiment. Besides the casualties al ready reported over 300 of the allied forces were wounded, including among the Americans Major Hogan and Cap tains Brockmiller, Wilcox and Noyes. It is feared a great many of these who were badly wounded were killed by the Chinese for it was impossible to carry off all the injured. The line report of the massacre at Pekin, rumoring the repulse of the allied forces lacks con firmation from authoritative sources and nothing has reached London sup porting Admiral Remey's despatch ex T A SACRIFICE ...FOR CASH.. charming country seait on French Broad ri". er, within half mile of railroad. 115 acres, 70 acres .timber, 45 acres under cul tivat on, 115 "bew ring- fruit trees, two vineyards, berries, plums, 3 splendid springs, well built cot tage of 5 rooms and 3 outhouses, beautiful, well kept grounds.

The navy de partment this morning received offi cial confirmation from Admiral Remey of the reverse of the allied for?es at Tien Tsin on the morning of the 13th. The despatch is dated Chefoo, July 16, and says: "Reported that allied forces attacked native citymorning of 13th. Russians right with Ninth infantry and marines on the left.

A despatch from Tien Tsin July 8 says: Ineffectual attempts have been made to conceal the horrible fact that Ad miral Seymour was compelled to shoot his own wounded during the recent disastrous retreat of the Pekin relief expedition. All the wounded and prisoners who fell in the hands of the Chinese were frightfully tortured. The bodies had been cut to pieces. First the eyes had been hacked out; then the cheeks, arms and legs cut off; until death ended the suffering of the poor fellows. Admiral Seymour in his re treat found himself so hard pressed that he was unable to longer carry his wounded with him, he asked them: Which do you prefer, to be left to the mercy of the Chinese or to he shot by your own comrades?" As Admiral Seymour put the question the tears were running down his cheeks. "We prefer death to torture. shoot us now, that we may die like men, was the piteous response of the helpless men. A firing squad was told off, and whil the little allied force stopped and beat off with gun fire the Chinese horde that surrounded it, inside its lines an act of mercy was performed as the f -ing squad carried out its orders. A few merciful volleys from the rifles in the hands of friends and the harrassed expedition was relieved of its burden of . wounded;- the fanatical Chinese horde was cheated of vieitims for its torture, and the sufferings and fears of the unfortunates ttvere brought to an end in an honorable death under their own flag. The British and American forces are brigaded together on the west side of the town; the Germans and Japanese on the south side; the, French and Russians on the north, and a force of Cossacks hold the east side. Scouts report the' imperial Chinese troops have arrived from Pekin well equipped with many guns. Troops of native cavalry and hordes of boxers are coming from the east and south. 10,000 MORE TROOPS.

In all probability the president wrill come nome witnin tne next two or three days to remain a day or two xnere is reason to Deneve tnat ,UUU or 10,000 troops will be gotten together as rapidly as possible and hurried to China.

A- despatch from Attorney J. J. Hooker at Webster, received by Hon.

Hyatt is the registrar who stated that if the democratic state executive com mitte refused to "stand by" him ne would commence registering the In dians on Monday (yesterday) . He still refused to register them yesterday, an indication that Mr. Simmons is standing by him -In his performance, and that Simmons is the really responsible par ty in the case. Two years ago -F. M. Simmons wrote an opinion that the In dians were entitled to vote and' the North Carolina legislature sustained hian in this opinion. The Unitedl States supreme court also sustains him, and these Indians have been voters for many years. The only trouble now is that the democratic ring does not like the way they will vote this year. JUDGE ADAMS AT WAYNESVILLE A Plain, Logical Argument Against the Amendment. Special to the Gazette. Waynesville, July 16. Judge Spencer . Adams, republican candidate for governor, spoke here this afternoon. There was a good crowd and republi cans, as well as some democrats, were highly pleased with his masterly ar gument. John G. Grant was also present and made a short talk. The people were disappointed that Attor ney General Walser did not reach here but he was unavoidably detained. Judge Adams' talk was frank and clear. He abused no man but in a cordial manner endeavored to convince his hearers that the proposed amend ment was wrong. He said if the voter thought Mr. Aycock would make the best governor to support that gentle man, but he advised all to vote against the amendment. He showed his hear ers that there was as "much negro in the democratic woodpile as in the re publican woodpile," citing the fact that within the past month the demo cratic boards of elections in the east ern counties had appointed 500 negro judges. Judge Adams is a pleasant speaker and held his crowd closely for an hour and a half. Mr. W. J. Radcliff, a highly re spected and well liked citizen, died at his home, three miles from town, this morning. The funeral will occur here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. YESTERDAY'S LEAGUE GAMES.

KILLED IN SELF DEFENSE BY CHIEF LYERLY Joe McClatclny, a Desperate Charac ter, Fatally Wounded at City Hall. Joe McClatchey was fatally wounded last night by Chief of Poliee Lyerly and died later. Yesterday afternoon McClatchey was arrested for being drunk and disorder ly, having pursued some women into itheir house and threatened them with stone. He was placed in a cell of the city lock-up, but yelled and swore and made so much noise that he could be heard a block away. About 7:30 o'clock Chief Lyerly took him out and put him in the dungeon. As the door was "closed McfClatchey placed his foot in it so that t could not be shut tight and then lunged out. As he did this he picked up a sharp piece of iron and struck the chief twice, aiming at his head. Chief Lyerly dodged and received the blows on his shoulders. McClatchey was big and strong and his blows counted. To save himself the chief stooped and seized a pick-handle and hit McClatch ey one blow across the top of the head, crushing in the prisoner's skull. Drs. Glenn, Merriweaither and Whik- tington were at once called and foind that McClatchey had sustained a frac ture of the right frontal bone ;he right paridal and occipital, the fr.?:ure ex tending over to the medial l!ne. A number of fragments of bone entered the brain substance, resul-'og in con gestion and paralysis of Lhe right side of the body. An operation was performed and Mc- Claitchey was at once removed to the mission hospital, where he died about 11 o'clock. 'Chief Lyerly gave himself up and 3 guard was placed over him. The coro ner will hold the inquest this mornin'r. MciClatchey was what is termed a "bad man." He was noted for his fights and wranglings. He was par ticularly quarrelsome when under the influence of liquor. He was about 46 years old and had lived in Asheviile and at Arden all his life. M'GOVESN WINS IK THIRD New York, July 16. Frank Erne's seconds threw up the sponge in third round of his fight with Terry Mc Govern in the Madison Square Garden tonight. Ern was given a terrible beat ing. In the first round McGovern start ed with a rush ana kept ..t it until Erne shook him with his left on the chin and sent him to his knees for the full count. He got .up ..laughing and ran into a clinch and then- bored in with heaw swings, which brought the blood' from Erne's nose. McGovern paid no attention to any blow that Erne put into him, but went on hammering with tremendous force. He went on with his nose covered with blood. Terry started the second in lively style, but Erne was ready for nim, and sent in some hard ones, which forced McGov ern to clinch. McGovern continued slugging with wenderful strength. Erne foughs slowly with his left hand at long range. 'The round ended with a sensa tional rally. McGovern sent in blows so fast in the third round that Erne had no time to block them, and final! with a tremendous right, he plit open trne's nose. ONLY TORE UP COPIES.

SPURIOUS COINS IN PHILIPPINES ounterfeiters Operate on a Large Scale Making Bills and Silver Money Four Troops of Native Cav alry to be Formed, Will be Recruited From Macabebes and Officered by Americans, Enlist to June 1901 and Receive Pay in Mexican Money HAVE BEEN USED AS SCOUTS FOR SEVERAL REGIMENTS SAID TO BE GOOD SOLDIERS, BUT HARD TO RESTRAIN FROM LAWLESS NESS. Manila, June 16. The large circula tion of silver money in the Philippines has made an opportunity for counter feiters and there is evidence of one or more "gangs" in Manila and the pro vinces who manuiacture spurious coins. The counterfeiters made Mexi can dollars from a baser and cheaper metal, the American- nickel is coun terfeited and the brown five dollar bills have been successfully imitated. But the cleverest and most' successful scheme of all is the coining of Ameri can silver dollars from Mexican sil ver dollars. The silver in a Mexican dollar if stamped with the facings of our American silver dollar at once doubles in value, for any one will give you two dollars Mexican for one dollar American. The advantage of this scheme is that a sufficiency of good metal can be obtained by melting up Mexican dollars and when stamped with the American facings the new coins produce one hundred per cent profit. Raids have resulted in finding several basketfuls of bad money in the rear of a Chinaman's house, and a Filipino was discovered with several hundred dollars worth of counterfeit five dollar bills and a box of recoined American silver ..dollars in his posses sion. The Chinaman and the Filipino have made partial confessions and giv en out damaging testimony. It is now evident that they are members of a gang operating on a large scale in Luzon and in which there are several Americans and Europeans as leaders. The military authorities have ordered the formation of four troops of native cavalry, to be recruired from the Maca bebes and officered by Americans. Mai. Batson, the originator of the idea of employing the Macabebes tribesmen as scouts, is to be commander of the new squadTon of Filipino horse. The offi cers will be: Captains, James N. Law rence, William C. Ceiger, Francis H. Cameron; first' lieutenants, David H. Biddle, James Conway, Clarence C. Culver. The .Macabebes have long been used as scouts and their valie in such work has already been demonstrated. The present plan of mounting them is in tended to render them more effective by increasing ?htir mobility. Many of our army officers declare that we must eventually come to a very general uses of native troops to preserve order in the islands. While several regiments are using small details of Uocanos, Visayans and even Tagolas, as scouts and guides, the organization of native soldiers, with -she notable exception of the Macabebes. has been objected to by the aut'horities of Manila. When, the Macabebes are controlled they do good work in their own line, but they are very hard to restrain from outrage, looting and indiscriminate killing. Sev eral American office? iave declined service with the Macabebes cn the ground that it was impossible to re strain them in moments of excitement. The Filipino country people in certain districts remained in the mountains in stead of coming back to their village homes, because of the fear of a visit (Continued on fifth page.)
