TROUBLE WITH INSURGENTS
Attitude of Filipinos Leaders Becomes
More Alarming Daily.
RECONCILIATION WILL Be DIFFICULT.
Aguinaldo Openly Shows His Hostility to
the United States Authorities and
Won't Let His Soldiers En-
ter American Lines.

MANILA.-The attitude of the Philip
pine insurgent leaders is daily becom-
ing more dangerous. So open Is their
opposition to the American authorities
that the situation is strained and recon
ciliation may be difficult.
What makes the situation the more
troublesome is the undisguised rivalry
between the followers of General
Aguinaldo, the proclaimed dicta-
tor, and General Piopilar, who covets
the honor which Aguinaldo has ac-
quired.
General Piopilar is in command OF
the insurgent troops stationed south OF
Manila. He uses them in a way that
will be most annoying to Aguinaldo,
and that the same time makes every
effort to show his utter disregard OF
the American officials.
His forces continue to parole the
city, encouraging law!essness in every
direction They are constantly annoy
ing the American troops, who are en-
gagged in the difficult task of preserv-
ing order.
Aguinaldo's course is no less annoy
ing. He no longer attempts to conceal
his hostility to the officials who repre-
sent the United States, and has issued
an order prohibiting his soldiers from
enteripaz the American lines. This
sas probably deemed necessary
in order TO prevent them from becom-
ing so we'll disposed towards Amerl'
cans as to destroy his power by repu-
dating his leadership.
The attitude of the rival leaders can
not fail in the end to injure the cause
of the Philippine Independence. Ger
tainly it will prevent the presentation
of strong case before the Paris COM
mission in behalf of the Filipinos.

the Financial Chronicle, with yield
