Filipinos Trying Every Scheme

ARE USING HOMEMADE BLACK POWDER
A Force of Native Police Has Begun

With the Provost Guard.
They Are Using Homemade Black Pow
der--A Force of Native Police Has
Begun to Patrol Manila, CO.
Operating With Provost.

MANILA. Sept. B. Many Spanish pris-
oners are escaping from the FilipiDos
and bringing into the American lines
stories of hard treatment. They agree
that the Fiiipinos are exceedingly short
Of rations, and that a large section OF
their troops is reduced to the use OF
homemade black powder. The ma
tives are trying every scheme TO get
food and munitions from Manila. Daily
arrests are made for attcmi is to SNUG
gle contraband of war through the
American lines In one case n casco
with cargo of bamboo poles was over
hauled, and the poles were found full
Of rice.
The insurgents have 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 Dagupan, 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 statement
establishing the nationality OF the
crew. A similar concession 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 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
manyopportunitics for burg larry, an in
dustry which has been ilOurishing 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. lie
is supposed to have been the man who
stole four guns belonging to the Wash
ington regiment. lie 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
rifle bullet in the hip. lie died after
jumping from the stretcher and trying

Government Ownership Of Railroads.

In Wow of the fact that. there is
strong sentiment in the country
now looking to the government
ownership of railroads, the fellow
ing item will be interesting to the
readers Of this paper:
According to an official report of
the United States Consul General at
Stockholm, the Government of Swe-
den owns and operates 2,284 miles of
railway, the rolling stock of which
consists of 502 locomotives, 1928
baggage cars, 9o2 passenger coaches,
3 dining cars, rs postal wagons,
combined coaches and baggage, 81
prison vans, ZIG flat cars, and 12,161
freight cars. The annual profits
during the forty-thr years of gov
ornment ownership Of the railroads
have averaged more than one-third
million dollars in American money,
besides the accumulation of fund
of $2,282,1 1854 for pensioning en-
ployees retired on account of age or
injury, and fund of $2,O79,229 for
the relief of widows and children of
deceased employees.

Modern Armies.

10 subdue weak nation in tho
Philippines the United States has
sent forth an army of $4,000 men,
equipped with all of the latest mo-
dern implements for slaughter and
all of the appliances of science. To
subjugate another comparatively
weak nation we are told that the
army which the British Government
has sent to South Africa is the larg.
est that ever crossed the sea. 1t
comprises $4,000 men, and 10000
more will be sent shortly. There
are now $4,000 soldiers of the United
States in the Philippine islands, and
$4,000 more are either on the way or
ready for embarkation. Ths Duke
of Wellington had only 10000 Bri-
tish soldiers in the struggle with Ma
poleon. Sixteen thousand fought
with Marlborough at Blenhcim.
Twenty-six thousand men were sent
under Lord Raglan to the Crimea,
10000 to India under Lor6 Give,
10000 to Egypt under Wolseley.
The maximum force of Englishmen
engaged at any one time in sup
pressing the revolution of the Amc-
rican colonies was about 10000.
