MANILA, Dec 16.-The provinces of Bull
acan, Cavite and Laguna are still rebel
etrongholds. The Spanish government, un-
der General Aguirre, holds the town and
fortress OF Old Cavlte. though surrounded
by rebels except on the coast, which the
Spanish lotilla dominates The situation in
Manila is very strange The citizens are
living in a state of siege. but admirable dis
cipllne is preserved. Executions are of such
common occurrence as to cause not the least
excitement. The suburbs OF the city for four
miles away are subject to intermittent raids
by the rebels, who, after exchanging shots
with the Spanish pickets, retire toward Ca
vte, eight miles away. The effects OF the
bombardments are visible on the outlying
roads, which contain the luxurious residences
OF wealthy Spaniards and Mestizos, which
are now all deserted. and the streets OF the
city are guarded by troops There is no
panic, and confidence is growing. Military
bands play on afternoons, society takes its
drives as usual and the cafes are thronged
mostly by officers

spread or diSanecuon among the natives
forming the third army of $500 men, all of
Spanish descent. They are treacherous and
disloyal, excepting in few regiments. They
are hardy and brave, and would be active
and formidable for fresh European troops
The Spanish policy is to await reinforce
ments before overwhelming the natives. Ag-
greseive movements on large scale are not
yet possible. General Blanco in an inter
view, stateo that %, 900 more troops are COM
ing which Is sufficient indication of the ex-
tent of the rebellion which is supported by
at least 100000 active insurgents. OF these
one-quarter are armed and used to solid
earthworks, while many have only barbarous
weapons. The leaders Of the rebels are
nearly all Chinese and Mestizos. Tho latter
display undoubted skill, while the natives
fight well, though the Spanish troops made
gallant attempts to dislodge them.
To-Day an entire native column deserted in
San Jose, in the province Of Buacan, taxi
ing their equipments over to the rebels One
hundred and seventy prisoners have escaped
from Cavite, but all were recaptured and
shot. A Spanish column OF 1000 men with
two guns has been dispatched to San Jose
with the object of dislodging the rebels, who
are reported to number s 900. Two thousand
men have arrived from Spain, well equipped
but unseasoned.

that public opinion throughout Spain would

residents OF the state. As notable ex-
ample, an inquiry was recently received
at the University from member of the
state legislature, asking II it is not fact
that each legislator has the privilege Of
naming one person for free scholarship
in the University. Since 1893 there has
been no tuition charged to citizens of the
state of Washington. Every student
who is properly qualified is welcomed to
go to the University to study, and
every possible assistance is extended to
him. The institution is supported by the
state, just as are the common schools !;
and it is intended that it shall take up
the work Of education where the high
schools leave it, and carry it as far az de-
sired. The University has no dormi-
tories, but there is no difficulty in obtain
ing board and lodging Of the citizens OF
Seattle, at prices ranging from 10 per
week upward. Some students by form
