London, Nov. 29.-The Lo~dOn office
of a Philippine company has received
a letter from it's agent at Manila, dated
Oct 10, in which the agent says:
'"The rebels are prepared already TO
resist annexation. | am in the conf
dence Of their chiefs and | assure you
they are quite prepared to retire 10
the hills if more than a protectorate IS
attempted. l hope it will net come TO
warlike proceedings, for it would be
very protracted affair. The Americans
would not find the rebleS as easy as
the Spaniards d d, for they formerly
had only 400 rifles, while they now
have $4,000 rifles and eighty cannon
including several MaXims. Americans
are not allowed to pass the rebel lines
without passports. A party of German
officers who attempted to Go so WITH

The manager of this Philippine c)n'

the Americans could quickly supaue
