Agu,naldo Rules With Iron Hand.
WASHINGTON, June 17.-Reports r.
ceived at the war department from
Gen. OILS indicate that considerable
more fighting may be expected in the
Philippines before the insurgents &C
cept the American terms of peace.
Aguinaldo is ruling his followers with
an on hand. The rebels have shown a
tenacity of purpose that has been sur
prising. They have persisted in fights
ing, notwithstanding severe losses and
disastrous repIlses.
The war department officials believe
that he insurgents had mapped out a
complete plan for an attack simultane-
ously on Manila and Gen. McArthur's
forces at Sau Fernando. Ger. Lawton's
advance south of Manila was evidently
unexpected He not only defeated the
rebels, INJECTING great loss, but broke
up the proposed attack.

PRESS CENSORSHIP.

Complaints Of the press censorship
in tie Philippines continue to grow
louder.
"The government authorities" says
the ATLANTA journal, shave not only
held back news which the people of the
United States had a right to know
and the publication of which could not
possibly have interfered with any of
the plans or prospects of the invading
army we have in the Philippines, but
the doctored press dispatches have
brought us many statements which
subsequent developments have shown
to have been in strange contrast to
conditions that existed at the time
these dispatches were sent.
"How often have we been assured
that the war was practically over. that
the Filipinos were ready to give up
and that their number was dWindling
fast?
"Immediately following several state
ments of this character have come calls
for more troops for the Philippines
and reports of fresh disasters to our
troops.
"Hhe truth of the situation as far as
it can be CLEANED from the censored
dispatches seems to be that there are
now more Filipinos arrayed against US
than ever before, that they are better
equipped and are fighting with greater
desperation and skill.
"Even the censored reports of the
past week show it to have been the
most disastrous one for our troops
that they have experienced since they
went into this war. Last Saturday
40 per cent. of $500 men whom Gener-
al Otis sent into battle were Frustrated
by the heat, and many of them will
probably die. Thus in one day 1880 Of
our troops were disabled for a greater
or less period. Last Tuesday General
Lawton seems to have been drawn into
trap and bad sixty rpen killed out
right.
"Ths is the largest number of men
we have lost in aOy one battle in the
Philippines. For the first time the
Filipinos used artillery against our
troops, and under the fire of all our
warships and our artillery stood by
their guns for hours and used them eff
fectively. What must we think, then.
of the oft-repeated censored assurances
that the enemy was greatly demoraliz-
ed and that the war was practically
over?
"Whatever the administration in
tends to do or try to do in the Philip
pines why not let US have the PLAIN
truth about what is going on there?'

rhousasds of Dollars Worth of Rice Is
Being Des trOved.
BRUNSWICK, GA. June ia plague
of caterpillars has hit some OF the rice
fields of Glynn, and the owners are
flooding their lands and drowning them
out by the million. AT the plantation of
James T. Dent the caterpillars have
made their appearance in great numbers,
but the prompt and effective flooding of
he fields will stay any damage that
would probably have been done.
The caterpillars come apparently
from nowhere, but they get to work and
sweep everything before them, and every
two days they can clean out crop OF
rice worth $1,000 as slick as whistle.
The only thing that will stop them is
tc dig ditch, and as they move onward
in solid phalanx millions strong they
fall into the ditch and cannot get out
again. Here they lie, and the hogs and
chickens gobble them in until they ale
pulled out like football.

ton 751 of the Political Code, relative

ing a companion to Dickinson's bill

third reading.
LUNCH HOUR BILL PASSED.
A. B. 81, by Sanford, to provide for
I a lunch hour for laborers in sawmills,
shinglemills. shakemills and logging
camps, was read the third time.
Shortridge inquired whether any
where in the State mills We're being
operated whose employees We're not al
lowed time to eat dinner. He thought
there was no need for such a law.
Dickinson suggested that the bill go
over until the Chairman of the COM
mittee on Labor and Capital should
have time to explain it. 1t looked to
him as though it ought to be amended
making the proprietors furnish the
lunch as well as the time in which TO
devour it.
Gillette said that in many instances
the proprietors of lumber camps drove
their employees to work just as soon as
they had swallowed their dinner. He
said the bill was a good one and ought
to pass.
Shortridge said he was in favor OF
two hours for dinner, and was also III
favor of two holidays each week IN or
der that there might be work for more
men. He would, he said, favor the
bill if there was any necessity Tor SO
doing. He. however, did not believe
that conditions existed which required
such law.
Gillette said he had worked in the
redwood forests and mills of Hum
boldt County, and that the conditions
as he described them actually existed.
He said that while the courts might
hold such a law to be class Legislation,
and therefore unconstitutional. that 1t
would be a step in the right direction,
and ought to pass.
The bill was passed by a vote OF 70
