SHORT RATIONS.
fllplnos Trying Every Scheme to
Get Food and Ammunition.
Aney Are Using Homemade Black Pow
oer-A Force of Native Police Has
Begun to Patrol Manila, CO.
Operating With Provost

MANILA, Sept 4-Many Spanish pris-
oners are escaping from the Filipipos
and bringing into the American lines
stories OF hard treatment. They agree
thatthe tllipinos are exceedingly short
OF ratlons, and that large section of
their troops is reduced to the use of
homemade black powder The ma
tlVes are trying every scheme to get
food and munitions from Manila. Daily
arrests are made for attemrts to SNUG
gle contraband of war through the
American lines In one case a casco
with cargo of bamboo poles was over
hauled, and the poles were found full
OF rice.
The insurgents have a wholesome
respect for the British, on account of
several 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
into the harbor of Dagupau, the north
ern terminus of the Dagupan railway.
The crews were imprisoned, but on
their protests that they were British
SUBJECTS the insurgents permitted one
man named Edwards to come to Ma
Mia, promising to release the crew OF
the Lacson if Edwards secured from the
British consul at Manila a statement
establishing the nationality of the
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 to
work as the Spanish prisoners are.
A force Of native police has begun to
patrol the city of Manila cooperating
with the provost guards whose lack of
knowledge of the language and the re-
sorts of native criminals had given
many'opportunities for burglary, an in
dustry which has beef fourishing of
late. The new force includes many
members of the old force and some in
surgents who have grown tired of
fighting.
1t has already done good work in
running down native criminals
The American secret service recently
found Filipino spy in Calamba. He
is supposed to have been the man who
stole four guns belonging to the Wash
ington regiment. He offered desper-
ate resistance to the soldier who was
sent to capture him and tried to run
away with revolver shots in his head.
Finally he was brought down with a
rifle bullet in the hip. He died after
jumping from the stretcher and trying
to run.

'John C. Calhoun was popular, while
at the same time he was very dignified.
He knew everybody by name and spoke
to everybody, but he maintained dig
nifty which was respected. Mr.. Calhoun
lived at my fathers house, and l was
named after him. He was regarded as
the most studious man in the house,
and his statements of fact and of law
were always accepted; just as the state
ments of John G. Carlisle were always
accepted.
Henry Clay was friend of the page
boys. There were many congressman
who would not vote a gratuity for the
pages, and who would try to defeat il.
But Henry Clay always stood by US, and
at the close of each session we usually
secured an appropriation of 5000 each,
i'll gold, in addition to our regular sal
aries. Mr.. Morrill, was also our friend,
and he never tried to prevent the adOp-
ton of our annual bill.
Daniel Webster knew all of the page
boys by name. and he always spoke in
kindly manner to them. In the SEN
ate he had an especial favOrite, of
whom he was very fond. His name was
Arthur German. Daniel Webster en-
cOuraged him to study law and make
a man of himself. AS Il result, primari-
| ", of this interest which Daniel
Webster took in him, young German
entered politics, and for the past IS
| years he has been member of the
senate and leading democratic pOliti-
clan. 1 guess the page boy, Arthur
German, has been one of the best and
ablest men in the senate during the
present generation. They tell me, too,
that Senator German has always been
kind to the page boys, never forget
ting that he was at one time in a
similar humble position.
'While Senator Morrill, was in the
house of representatives there was
big man there from Pennsylvania who
was handsome, able and popular. His
name was Galusha a. Grow, and he
came from Pennsylvania. He was made
speaker of the house and filed the
position with great ability. Twenty
five years passed away, and read in
the papers that Galusha a. Grow had
been elected to the house of representa-
tives in 1892. 1 could hardly bclieve
it was the same man and concluded
that it must be a son of the same

vited to come to his room.

I entered there stood big man, with

whiskers and, back of them all, the

verses have so far done.
But however looked at, the British posi-

STORM OF CRITICISM
breaking Over the Head OF the En-
glish Wnr Office.

London, December 1.-THE social fes-
tivities which usually mark this season
of the year in London have never been so
few and far between, and they are quite
unable to dispel the gloom overhanging all
classes. The brave show kept up by a
majority of the organs vocing public
opinion is merely an instance of the grit
of the British race. But it is powerless
TO allay the feeling of bitter grief and
disappointment that pervades the length
and breadth OF the land. Nor is this con-
fined to the regrets, for the pent up criti-
cism of the military authorities is finding
vent In quarters that heretofore have stu
diously avoided, as premature, any stric-
lures on either the war office or the gen.
erals In the field. Unless some striking
change for the better soon marks the
course of the British arms there bids fair
to break over the head of the government
storm of Indignation such as has not
been seen since the Crimea. That such a
movement Is not without cause is evil
denced by information CLEANED by a rep
resentative OF the Associated Press that
the authorities have already decided that
a reorganization of the war office is abb
solutely necessary, and that 1t will not
be delayed day longer than can be
helped, though 1t can scarcely be done
until hostilities cease.
