Towns.
NATIVES RESPECT BRITISH.

Manila, Sept. g. 10 p. m.-Many Span
ish prisoners are escaping from the
Filipinos and bringing into the Ameri-
can districts stories of hard treatment.
They agree that the Filipinos are ex-
|ceedingly short of rations, and that a
large section of their troops is reduced
to the use of homemade black pow
der.
The natives are trying every scheme
to get food and munitions from Manila.
Many arrests are made for attempts to
smuggle contraband of war through the
American lines. In one case a cascoe,
with cargo of bamboo poles was over
hauled, and the poles were found full
of rice.
The insurgents have a wholesome re-
spect for the British on account of sew
eral threats Of British warships to
lombard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are. respected. Two
British vessels, the Lacson and the
Nero, were driven by stress of weather
in the harbor of Dagpun. The crews
were imprisoned but, on their protest
ing that they were British, the author
tiles permitted one man, Edwards, to
come to Manila, promising to release
the crew of the Lacson if Edwards Sc
cured from the British consul at Ma
Mia a statement establishing the ma
tionality of the crew. A similar con-
I cession was made to the crew of the
Nero.
Edwards says he saw several Ameri-
can prisoners who were better fed than
the Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers
Moreover, they were not compelled tc
work as the Spanish prisoners are.
A force of native police has begun tC
patrol the city of Manila, cooperating
with the provost guard, whose lack OF
knowledge of the language and the re.
sorts of native criminals had giver
many opportunities for burglaries, ar
industry which has been f1ourishing Of

members of the old force and some

New York, Sept. "a cleverly
planned swindle was nipped in the bud
by the arrest of Samuel Rosen on board
the City of Lowell short time before
the departure of the boat for New Lon
don Saturday night. Friday Rosen,
who had spent two weeks in obtaining
the confidence of several dry goods
dealers went around and gave orders
for several hundred dollars worth of
goods.
Rosen promised to pay cash on deliv-
cry, and gave instructions that the
goods should be sent to Sc East Sew
enth street. The goods on arrival were
transferred to an express wagon,
which was standing at the corner Of
the street. Checks for the amount due
We're handed to the bearers, and the
wagon drove off. The checks were drawn
on the State bank and the Second Sew
enth and Ninth national banks.
Three of the dealers were suspicious.
Felix Tausend, early Saturday morning,
went to his bankers. The check was
found to be worthless. 1t was this
prompt action that defeated Rosen's
scheme, as he was counting upon five
days before the frauds would be dis
covered, as the banks would be closed
Sunday and Monday, while Tuesday is
the Jewish New Year, and Wednesday
Is also kept as holiday by the He
