Manila, Aug. 10.-Forty-three rebel
conspirators, including several officers
from Aguinaldo's army, were arrested
here and lodged in prison. 1t is be-

Seeks Recognition.
Manila, Aug. 9. - Aguinaldo has ap-

Filipino independence" in a docu-
ment dated from Tarlac, July %, and

ceived by all the foreign consuls in Ma
Mia with the request that they for
ward it to their respective govern
ments.
Pressing Forward.
Manila, Aug. 11.--G.n. McArthur's
troops remained Thursday night at Cal
ulet. The rebels had evidently fed Tar
beyond rife range, for the American
outposts were not disturbed, and not q
shot was fired during the night. At
daybreak this (Friday) morning re-
connoitering party, consisting Of bat
talon of the Seventeenth infantry. with
one field piece, started up the railroad
track toward Angeles, four miles north.
Heavy Loss By Filipinos.
Everything indicates that all the reb-
els have scattered for miles in every
direction around Calulet. The insur-
gents lost heavily in the fighting
around Calulet. It is believed that 100
were killed and 300 or 400 wounded.
The Iowa regiment killed 30 in one
place, and one company of the Seven
teenth suddenly encountered a party of
rebels in a trench and killed 12. The
American loss was five killed and 81
wounded, including three officers.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 9.-The war
in the PHILIPPINES is tosbe prosecuted
with vigor that ought to result in
| speedy cessation of hostilities there.
Secretary of War Root was seen Tues
day nightin the Office of the Hotel Cham
plain, just after he had said good-by to
the president and was preparing to take
the 9:45 train for Washington. The
secretary referred to his visit to Platts-
burg barracks Tuesday afternoon.
| where he witnessed a regimental drill
| of the Twenty-sixth regiment under
command of Col Rice. This regiment
has been recruited and organized in
little over three weeks and they drilled
like old veterans.
1.-THE progress which the officers and
men of the Twenty-sixth regiment have
| made in drilling in SO shor. time is
simply marvellous" said My. Root. 1T.
shows the wonderful power Of the
United States when ten regiments OF
volunteer soldiers can be recruited, Or
ganized, drilled and equipped for active
| service in the field in SO short a time."
War to Go On vigorously.
"win the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?''
asked the interviewer.

piled, quick as flash: Eyes, sir; the
war in the Philippines from now on,
will be prosecuted with all possible en-
ergy. All the men, all the arms and ALI

| IL Very Emphatic.
It would be impossible for anyone
to be more emphatic or determined
than Secretary Root is in his avowed'
policy of ending the trouble in the
Philippines. He seldom talks for pub
LEGATION, and the fact that he had just
come from two days conference with:
President Mckinley adds interest to his,
words.

and he were not agreeable upon the pol

Mr.. Root said: "Of course that is ALI
nonsense"
