INSURGENTS INsoLENT.
They Refuse to Obey Orders Of the

PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.). Nov.
27.-Captain Frederick Keyte, Company
B, First North Dakota Volunteers. who
arrived here tonight from Manila on
leave oe absence, reports that among
both volunteer regiments the feeling IS
strongly against the retention of the
Philippines. The officers are all desir-
Gus of returning home, and a. large
number have rendered their resigna-
tions, which will not be accepted. Many
have asked for leave of absence. The
insurgents are very insolent and even
refuse to obey the orders of the Amer
lean authorities. The insurgent camp
was ordered TO move eight miles furth-
er back from Malate, but they refused
and the Americans were powerless to
enforce the order The Americans and
insurgents are not In close touch and a.
distinction seems tosbe made. Some
insurgents are allowed to come with
their arms inside the American lines,
while others are disarmed before they
can enjoy that privilege.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The Standard

says:
Great Britain was advised to secure
harbor there in 1889 and her fejec-

among her lost opportunities. The
strategical advantages of Chiriqui are
important and we may expect the
American occupation to be something
more than nominal. The incident is
another proof of the energy and deter
