THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS REVOLT.
SAN Francisco, Oct. % --Advices by
the steamer Peru from Sin apore and
Hong Kong, up to Scptcm Der -, state
that the re ehcilion in the Philippine
Islands is mu III more sariou than ha,
been generally recognized 1t is saii
that the reports OF revo}utioniSt de-
feats sent out bv Spanish officers
have been greatly exarrerated, and
that so far the rebels have more than
held their own in the struggle for in
dependence. 1t is stated that the rev
olution is now bevOnd the control of
the Spanish authorities, ana that un-
less reinforccments are sent to Manila
immediately, the Snanish forces are in
danger of final defeat. The officers are
afraid to take native regiments into
the interior because their loyalty is
doubted. The Hong Kong Press saws
editoriallv that there is no longer
room for the least doubt that affairs in
the Philippine islands will in short
time assume the proportions of the
Cuban rebellion. The natives are de-
termined. AS each rebel signs an
agreement, he writes his name on his
arm with blood and swearS vengeance
against the Spaniards.
