Manila, Dec. 13.-According to unof-

ital of the island OF Panay, in the Wis
ayas group, the insurgents attacked
Iloilo on the night OF Dec. 1 and cap
tUred all the Spanish trenches except
one. They then notified Gen. Rios to
remove the women and children and
threatened to renew tle attack the fol-
lowing night. When these adyices left
Iloilo Gen. Rios was expecting rein
fortements and field guns. and the
plan was for the Spanish gunboats to
shell the town II the insurgents effect
ed an entrance. The foreign residents
were greatly alarmed, and all mer-
chantmen had been ordered outside
the harbor in order to allow the gun
boats To operate. Meanwhile the
Spanish authorities have been advised
that the Tulisano troops are footing, in
disobedience to orders, and cannot be
restrained. On the other hand the

No less than ifty-ive war vessels,
including, of course. many small tugs
and torpedo boats, are now being built
for the United States government. Five
OF these are war vessels OF the first
class. When these are completed our
navy will be third in the list of naval
powers. No doubt we shall continue
TO maintain this standing. as the recent
val has shown the need OF a strong
navy, both in the Atlantic and on the
Pacific. What we need quite as much
as a large navy is the building OF more
vessels for commercial use. The time
has come when we can construct steel
and iron vessels cheaper than any
other country in the world. as we used
to beat the world in making wooden
ships when Maine forests of pine made
masts that could not be rivaled any,
where else.

morning shortly after 10 o'clock at the

for the pneumonia which resulted in
