1S9S-The insurgents today attended
requiem mass, in the Pasig Church, on
the site of the principal battlefield. for
the repose of the souls of the insurgents
and Americans who have lost their lives
here while fighting the Spaniards.

a strong feeling in the provinces against
Aguinaldo, because the insurgents an
ticipations have not been realized. They
are ssid to have exhausted their funds
and the supplies obtained from the mon
asteries and to be unable to obtain any
relief from the insurgent leader. 1t is
added that Aguinaldo is afraid to make
his contemplated visit to Bulaoan, owing
to the fact that he IS unable to comply
with the insurgents demands.

All Provisions.

Key West. Fla. May 24.-Lieutenant

Gomez. He says Blanco has stationed
5000 troops between Cardenas and Ha-

Soldiers have seized all provisions in
Havana and citizens are starving to
death by hundreds. Blanco has is

whip all Americans that are sent over
and claims he has food enough to last
eight months. The populace is becom-
ing desperate and threaten to attack
the troops in Havana.
Reliable information was brought
here by a Cuban refugee who left Cuba

work erecting shore batteries all around
the city. His force of soldiers is said

Washington Star: Senator Mason
Of Illinois has purchased and sent to
Camp Alger, Va, a large number of
cots, blankets and other camp requi-
sites for use of one of the Illinois

thoughtful act was the outcome of a
visit made by the senator to the camp
yesterday, when the need Of these ar
ticles was forcibly brought to his at
tention, the hard rain that fell there
during the day rendering the place
more or less uncomfortable.
Congress yesterday passed the bill
providing that volunteers should be
paid from the time they were enrolled
at points of rendezvous.
