NATIVE REBELLION.
It Has Extended to the Hemp
Provinces Of South Luzon.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Singapore
correspondent of the Daily Mali says:
The native rebellion in the Philippines
has extended to the hemp provinces in
South Luzon. Heavy fighting occurred
at Paglatuan, Pillar and Ponsol, the
immediate cause being outrages COM
mitted by the Spaniards at Pagliatuan.
The Spanish also burned Pillar, and
massacred 500 natives. The insurgents
are concentrating at Albay, with the
object of cutting off the retreat of nu-
numerous Spaniards in Camarinas
Province.
A German cruiser has been carrying
dispatches from the Captain General of
the Visayas Islands to the district be-
tween Cebu and Illigan and the Span
ish military depot in Mindanao. The
steamer Rosario, flying the German
flag. has also been transporting troops
thence to Illoilo. After the island of
Masbate had been taken by the insur-
gents, the latter refused to allow the
German steamer Clarato to enter any
ports under their control.

ADVICE TO CUBANS.
Should Lay Down Their Arms and
Return to Peaceful Pursuits.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-There
have been conferences between Estra-
da Palma and other representatives OF
the Cubans with officials of the United
States Government relative to the
Cubans and what could be done with
them.
Mr.. Palma was advised that the Unit
ed States would not consider the ques-
ton of compensation of the Cuban
troops, because there was no power i'll
the Government to do so even if there
was any inclination He was told
that the best thing the Cubans could
do was to advise the men in arms to
disband, retire to their homes and en-
gage in peaceful pursuits.
That the members of the Cuban junta
recognize that this is the only thing to
Go is seen in the fact that emissaries
have already been dispatched to Cuba
with view of carrying out the desires
of the United States Government. These
emissaries will try to persuade the
Cuban leaders that resistance to Unit
ed States authority would result only
in further disaster and distress to

the Present.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Admiral
Cervera Will not return TO Spain for the

The Navy Department has not taken
up the question of the final disposition
of the Spanish prisoners, although it
has passed upon one or two special
cases in which the circumstances made
speedy action advisable. One Of these
was the case Of DR. Jurada, the vener-

many Of these are exaggerated, but the
rumors of a massacre at GALES are con-

they were overpowered and macheted
to the number of eighty.
Battery N of the Seventh Regiment,

and six horses over a precipice, re-
turned here.
The health of the troops is steadily

forced. with the gratifying result that
sickness has decreased from ten to three
per cent. To-day's report show that

INSTRUCTIONS TO MERRITT.
There Must be No Joint Occupa-
ton of Manila With Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The War
Department to-day made public the
order sent to General Merritt last even
ing regarding the occupation of the
city of Manila by the American for es
The order is as follows:
"Adjutant Generals Office, Washing
ton, D. c., August II, 1898.
Major General Merritt, Manila: The
President directs that there must be no
Joint occupation with the insurgents.
The Americans are in possession or
Manila City, Manila bay and harbor,
! and must preserve the peace and pro-
tect persons within the territory oc-
cupied by their military and naval
forces The insurgents and all others
must recognize the military occupation
and authority of the United States and
the cessation of hostilities proclaimed
by the President. Use whatever means
in your judgment is necessary to this
end. All law abiding p1opie must be
treated alike. By order Secretary or
War, II. c. CORBlN,
"Adjutant General"
The officials of the department hope
there may be no trouble with the In
surgent forces in the Philippines, al
though the dispatches which have been
received and published in the press, to-
gether with the demands of Aguinaldo
for joint occupation, has indicated Il
temper on the part Of the insurgent
leaders which is not satisfactory.
The text of the Presidents order can
not be misunderstood, and the insur-
gents will be kept out of Manila, ana
the city, bay and harbor will be held
as an American possession. The pos
sibility of an attack on the city by the
insurgent forces has been considered,
but as the insurgents, with the bay IN
possession of Admiral Dewey and tx
thousand troops in the vicinity for a
month past. were unable to cause the
surrender of the city, it is not believed
that they will be very formidable
against the authority of General Mer-
rift

MASTERING OUT OF TROOPS.
Looks as If It Would Have to be by
Arbitrary Order.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The War
Department has been trying to ascer-
tain the wishes of the troops as to be-
ing mustered out, it being the object to
accommodate the troops as far az pos
sible. Up to the present time it looks
as If all the volunteers wanted to re-
main, and that the mastering out will
have to be by arbitrary order.
Information received at the depart
ment indicates that the desire to re-
main in the service is not confined to
the officers, but that the rank and file
wish to continue in the Government SER
vice. The department will wait until
what information, If possible, is OBJ
tanned, when if no troaDs desire to re-
turn to their homes, selections in the
best judgment of the officers will be
made. The troops, when mustered out,
will be transported to their homes.

BRAVE CAPTAIN CLARK.
No Plaudits for the Gallant Officer
Yet Cervera is Lionized.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-A special to the
Times Herald" from Camp Wikoff,
Montauk Point, says:
Brave Captain Clark Of the battle
ship Oregon, PROSTATE in a cabin of the
St. Paul, the victim of nervousness;
Ceryera. vanquished Admiral, receiving
the plaudits of thousands.
This spectacle, grim portrait OF war S
result, has been witnessed in New
York. The victor battling for life and
health again; the defeated, round and
sleek. crowded and damned by the hum
dreds seeking for his hand.
If all reports are true, Captain Clark
is a very sick man. He is, 1t is SAID,
so i'll that he cannot be removed TO

includes the cession of the Philippine
Archipelago to the United States.
An American naval officer who ar
rived from Manila on the Zafiro tells
me that the Americans practically
walked into Manila. The operations.
he says, were confined to the Malate
side of the city, where the Spaniards
had a fort and two lines of trenches.
The troops waded through the Malate
River and walked up to the beach as
though going to lunch, meeting prac-
tically no opposition.
L learned that when General Merritt
went ashore after the capitulation of
Manila he experienced some difficulty
in finding General Jaudenes, who ulti-
mately was found in a church among
crowds of women and children.

the department considerable concern.
The conditions at Santiago are caus-
ing great deal of uneasiness, and 1t
is believed more troops will be ordered
there very soon. Already orders have
been issued directing the Fifth Regular
Infantry, now at Tampa, to proceed at
once to Santiago. Inquiries have been
made as to the condition of the i'm
mune regiments which have not yet
sailed, with view of sending them to
Santiago The Government intends to
take vigorous measures to preserve the
peace and keep order in Santiago and
the territory under United States con-
troll. The emphatic order issued to
General Lawton a few days ago Will
be followed by orders sending suffl-
cient disciplined troops to enable him
to carry out the instructions Of the Sec
rotary.
The transports Knickerbocker and
Saratoga are now at Tampa, and can
carry the entire regiment without dlf1l-
Guilty. 1t is said at the department
that the wen-trained and disciplined
regulars will have good influence
upon the troops at present at Santiago,
and with them once there the troubles
will cease.
The department will be kept advised
at all times as to the conditions at
Santiago, and if more troops are
deemed necessary they will be sent at
once AS a further step in this dlrec-
ton, the President to-day directed that
the Twenty-third Kansas Regiment,
colored, be dispatched to Santiago, 10
form the army Of occupation OF CUBA
The KanSanS had rendered their SER
vices for this purpose, and had urgeo
acceptance, which President Mckinney
and Secretary Alger finally agreed to

sentative Curtis of Kansas. 1t was de-
! cided also to send the Twentieth Kan
sas to Manila, should additional troops
be asked for by General Merritt. me
Twentieth is now at San Francisco.
