PHILIPPINE REBELS
NOT SUBDUED IN SPITE OF THE

A Disinterested Observer Believes
That Spain Will Never Quell

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Amops
the passengers or the steamer China
from the Orient was H. d. Levinsohn.
the representative in New Zealand of
one of the largest cigar factories in Ma
Mia. Mr.. Levinsohn has just come from
Manila, where, he says the insurrection
of the natives is still in progress
From present indications and from
what 1 could learn during my sojourn in
Manila" he said, "the Spanish authori
ties will never be able to subdue the in
surrectionists. 1t is common report in
Manila that the papers are rot allowed
to print the truth. They are all under
press censorship. 1t was credibly re-
ported in the city shortly after a recent
engagement that the natives had killed
sixty of the Spanish soldiery and lost
only two of their number As soon as
the rainy weather sets in, which will be
very shortly, you may hear some fur
ther reports of hostilities and the VIC
tories will be all on the side of the rebels
A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
into Manila from the interior during NV
stay in the city and they were the sad
dest lot of men ever saw. Some of them
wore shoes and others did not. MANY
were without hats and all were more or
less distressd for want Of proper cloth
ing and food"

Nashville Exposition

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 25.-The
last week in July promises to be one of
the most successful in the history of this
exposition and there is every reason to
believe that the attendance will be large.
Wednesday night will witness the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter. A mipia-
ture fort has beer built on an island in
the lake for the occasion. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday have been set
apart for the jubilee festival, and no eff
fort is being overlooked to make this
musical festival one of the most attract
i've productions ever given in the south.
On Thursday scenes from Cavalleria
Rusticana and other famous operas will
be given. On Friday patriotic songs of
all ratiors will be on the program, and
on Saturday the jubilee festival will
close with a grand production of Innes'
famous spectacular War and Peace"

War on insurers

TOPEKA, Kan, July PA move
ment is on foot among the insurance
superintendents of the western states to
join hands in a wholesale investiga ton
of the financial condition of the various
eastern fire and life insurance compan-
les. 1t is said that already things have
progressed to that point that an investi-
cation is assured. Superintendent Nc
ment, whose fight on eastern Insurance
companies has brought him into promi-
nence, is one of the prime movers, and
it was thought that this information be-
came public today. The object IS two
fold. One is for the protection of west
ern policy holders and the other is to
try and find some irregularity in the
management of the big eastern concerns.

INDEX
OF THE TELEGRAPH NEWS

Railroad building in China makes
but very slow progress.
A returning traveller expresses the
opinion that Spain will never over
come the insurrection in the Philip
pine islands.
The military cyclists complete their
two thousand mile journey and prove
that the bicycle has place in modern
warfare.
Pat McNally claims to have swum
across the English channel at pace
which beats the worlds record for
each mile; baseball games; sporting
notes.
The United States attorney general
renders decision relative to rights of
volunteer and regular army officers to
wear their uniforms at high social
functions.
Striking coal miners hope to in
duce railroad men to refuse to haul
West Virginia coal, and are bending
every effort to secure the stopping of
work in the mines; the prospects of
settlement are not at all bright.
A review of the work done by con-
gress in special session shows little
general legislation except the passage
of the tariff bill, and that leaves the
great zante currant question unset
tied; men who mourn the adjourn
ment of the national legislature are
those who secured appointments but
failed to secure confirmation.
The days of old, the days of gold,
never saw a wilder rush than that now
marking the exodus for Alaska. Men
part with all their possessions for
passage, trusting to fickle fortune to
escape starvation. Many Of the
steamers already on the way will fail
to reach the mouth of the Yukon in
time to make the trip to the head
waters, yet more are chartered to
make the voyage, and every one will
be loaded to the danger point.
