tory at Malolos is reported to be running
day and night to supply ammunition for
the insurgents. The ignorance of the ma
tives is shown by the fact that they have
collected empty Springfield shells and are
reiilliDg them. Over 1000 of these cart
ridges have been discovered in houses in
Pandacan by an officer of the Washington
volunteers. The cruiser Charleston and
the gunboat Concord have gone on 10
days cruise, presumably looking for fill
busters. 1t is believed that arms are being
landed in small quantities at Northern
ports.

The rebels are keeping up a desultory
fire on the American troops, but wherever
they can be reached by our rapid-1re guns
they cannot stand before them. They

New York, Oct. 1.-THE police said
been made during the night toward the
Identification of the woman, fragments
Of whose body were found Saturday
and yesterday. Chief Of Detective Nc
Cluskey has number of his men run
ming down various reports Of missing
women, but so far they have resulted in
little or nothing of value. The taking
into custody of John McNally, Williom
Devine and Joseph Norman, all labor
ers, is supposed to have some connec-
ton with the case but the police refus-
ed to admit this. The men are looked
upon as suspicious persons"
An Italian newspaper was wrapped
around one of the pieces Of flesh found
and an attempt was made to discover
some subscriber to the paper who might
be able to throw some light on the
mystery. Nothing has come Of this 50
far
The police have begun distributing
a large number Of photographs Of Mrs.
Gertrude Billings, who has been re
ported missing since September 20.
When she disappeared she wore n
number of diamonds said 10 be valued
at $700 There were five or six da-
mond rings and one ring was made Of
diamonds, garnets ANA sapphires. to
represent the American flag. Mrs
Billings is said To have left home
under the hallucianation that she had
10 earn her own living ana her hus-
band said she might be found in some
shop.
