city. All incoming trains from the south

street station were held there. The deci-
sion to entirely abandon the New York di-
vision was not reached until o'clock to-
night, when it became apparent that the
attempt would be of too desperate a ma
ture. Early in the day the Reading rail-
read posted a notice that all train service
was abandoned until further notice. The
Baltimore and Ohio abandoned its local
service early in the afternoon. The train
from New York to Washington got away
four hours late and was the last through

EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN.
Thousands of Lives Lost In the Orient In
November--A Huge Tidal Wave
Causes Many Deaths.

San Francisco, Dec. I3.-The steam
ship America Maru brought advices
from Ceram and reports that 5000
people were destroyed on that island
alone when the dreadful earthquake of
November shocked the Japanese coast
and agitated the lands adjacent to the
empire. A few hours after the earth
quake it was reported that the water
was rising in Ambonia bay, The sea
came forward in the shape of a huge
tidal wave and forced the water into
the bay entrance. 1t came up so feet
over the lowlands AT Pauholy and
Samasoeroa, out of nearly 1,S00 inhabit-
ants only 40 escaped. The whole coast
for miles around was transformed
into huge mud puddle Corpses
were everywhere. The exact number
killed along the coast will never be
known, as the corpses are, in many
cases, yards under the new ground. At
Hatoesia, out of 500 people, 100 were
killed and 40 wounded.

NEWS FROM MANILA
A Daily Report of What is Going on in far off
Manila as Told by the Associated Press

by his compatriots, accused of being a
spy and executed. Only II small pro-
portion of the insurgent arms have
been surrendered, and the problem of
suppressing this guerrilla warfare is
anything but easy of solut ion. Some
of the American officers think it worse
than fighting Indians, owing to the
difficulties of the country and the
trouble in locating the enemy, who re-
sort, when hard pressed, to the amigo
dodge and hide their guns.
Some of the Americans favor the is
suance of proclamation declaring all
natives found with arms to be bandits,
punishable as criminals, instead of be-
ing treated as prisoners of war.
Information has been received at
headquarters that 500 Spanish prison
ers have been shipped from Vigan to
Manila, and that 1,500 others have
been assembled in Vigan, including
Gen. Pena. Probably these are Span
iards released by Gen. Young's troops in
the Benguel district, where they were
concentrated by the insurgents.
DICTATORSHIP FOR THE INSURGENTS.
London, Dec. 13.-Reuter's Telegram
company has received the following
dispatch from Hong Kong: The insur-
gent government of the Philippines
will be changed to a dictatorship, to
continue hostilities against the Ameri-
cans exclusively by the methods OF
guerrilla warfare. The Filipino army
is being split up into small bands, the
troops taking an oath before separa-
ton that they will fight until their
country's rights are recognized. A
force of United States marines, who
landed at Vigan, South llocos prov
ince, from the battleship Oregon, were
defeated by the Filipinos under Gen.
Tino on December 4. The Manila
newspapers, despite the censorship,
admit that Gen. Lawton is missing.
The foregoing dispatch was evidently
sent by the Filipino junta at Hong
Kong.

WEDNESDAYS REPORT

Manila, Dec. 10. Col. Smith, with a
detachment of the Seventeenth infan-
try, surrounded and captured in viii
lage near Malasqui a party of guerril-
las who had made their headquarters
there. The party included the band
which assassinated seven officials at
Malasqui for friendliness to the Amer
leans. All are insurgents who became
bandits when the disintegration of the
Filipino army began. They kept the
country around Malasqui in a state OF
terror for several weeks and committed
20 murders in less than that number of
days. When they were caught they
were promptly sent to Gen. MacAr'
thurs headquarters at Bayambang by
train. 1t is expected that they will be
speedily tried and either shot or
hanged as an example if convicted.
The whole country north of San Fer
napdo and between San Fernando and
Manila, except within the permanent
line of troops around the cities and the
closely patrolled stretches of railroad.
