1t is not expected TINT troops now at
Honolulu will accompany those to be

London. Sept. 1D.-The Manila coz.
respondent Of the Times says:
The insurgents, urged by constant
rum0rx Of the intention Of America to
re-establlsh Spanish rule In the archi-
pelago, continue actively recruiting
their army.
Hundreds from Manila are enlisting
daily. and troops are being drilled ev-
erywhere. Great diligence 10 exhibited
In Initiating the American formation
md manual. particularly In volley dr-
ing. Intrenchments In certain posi-
tions are being strengthened, and Wig
liant line Of pickets is kept outside the
suburbs. At the same time, the atti-
tude Of the insurgents u more friendly
than before the evacuation.
Several thousand rifles have recent
ly been landed, and four new Maxims
have also been landed. The provincial
leaders are Paying Into the insurgent
treasury certain portion OF the fund
captured from converts, protesting to
reserve the remainder for the payment
Of their troops. BY this means they
keep practically Independent Of the
central authority, preserving the In
tegrity OF their own command. A gen.
cral occupying one rich province sent
to AquInaldo $685. In cash last week.
The agitation among the insurgents
Ia stimulated by the clerical party,
which uses every effort to influence the
natives against American occupation.
Evidence to this effect Ia absolutely
trustworthy. although Archbishop Do
zal and other prominent ecclesinstics
strcnuously deny all knowledge OF
such action. and solemnly disclnim
personal participation in it.
Nothing important Is reported from
the insurgcnt congress. which holds
sessions daily at Mnlolos. The chief
element OF cohesion Is confessetlly the
fear of the return OF Spanish domina-
tion. II the insurgents should receive
reasonable assurance OF a permanent
foreign occupation. believe the disin-
tegration OF the revolutionary govern
mcnt would be speedy and complete.
The Spanish prisoners are now rigor-
Ously confined within the limits Of the
walled town. There IL much over
crowding in the small area and 1t IL
impossible In the crowded quarters. in
the absence OF the proper appliances,
to improve the present unsatisfactory
sanitary conditions. The urgent ncccs-
slty for removing the prisoners Is fully
recognized by the authorities. but no
remedy is In sight, and the health OF
the American troops and the prisoners
is seriously threatened.
Nearly 10 per cent. Of the former are
already on the sick list.
Strikes In all Industries nre bccom-
ing more extensive daily and the Ia
bor question Is fast growing serious.
The Americans unwlsely continue TO
pay nearly three times the usual
wages. causing discomfort to spread
rapidly In every class of workmen. All
manufacturers are much hampered:
the tramways are frequently stopped
and railway trains are seriously Grip
pied. and n dlscontlnuance OF the serv-
ice is threatened. The strikers naturally
