Marshal Blanco received reports from all parts OF

throughout the island OF Luzon. and summoned
thither all forces that could be spared from the
other Islands. Nor were the insurgents less active
Before week had passed several thousand OF them

engagements they ventur"d boldly into the open

soon learned better and since then have employed
more cautious tactics. resembling those OF the
Cuban revolutionists. They have waited IN strong
positions for the Spanish attack, or have marched

numbering their foes.
THE CAMPAIGN TIP TO DATE.
The net result Of the campaign thus far has been
that the insurgents have captured many towns and
control the greater part OF the Island Of Luzon In
some places they captured the Spanish authorities
and have held them IA prisoners treating them
with marked humanity and Kindness. In other
places they have committed deporable exccsses.
plundering the houses and shops OF the Spanish
residents but carefully respecting hose of all other
foreigners They have dispaycd especial animosIty
toward all the Spanish clergy. They have sacked
several converts and killed number of the monks
ard friars.
Toward the other foreigners the native feeling
Is kindly while the Spanish official feeling Is de-
cidedly hostile There are or were at the outbreak
OF the war, about thousand other foreigners on
the islands pretty evenly divided among Germans,
Americans. English and French There were. con-
trary TO common suppos.tion, only very few jap
anese. All these foreigners have for years COM
peted strongly with the Span!ards In trade. They
have thus aroused Spanish jealousy and hatred.
and have been commonly referred to in the Spanish
press. which Is entirely under Government control,
as 'Freemasons. heretics and revolutionsts." Bit
ter demonstrations have been made by the Span.
lards against other foreign residents in the
Philippines. OF late these have been directed es-
pecially against the japanese. who though few In
number. have been accused of planning the con-
quest of the Islands by Japan. SO strong has been
the feeling against the Japanese that the Govern
ment at Madrid has been compelled to repudiate
II and TO state officially that Il had grounds for
complaint against either the japanese Government
or the Japanese residents. but that. on the con-
trary II was satisfied that the attitude and inten-
lions OF Japan were entirely honorable and friend
ly The fact Is. Japan has proba bly, more cause for
complaint against Spain than Span against JAPAN
for II is notorious that the Time of the war be.
tween Japan and China. especially when II became
evident that Japan would win. the Spanish Govern
ment openly expressed its willingness. If not its
desire. to join with other European Powers in
checking the progress OF Japan fin or Ter that the
latter might not become too strong
