AFFAIRS AT NEGRos.
General Smith is Rapidly Thinning
Out the Bandits

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
BACOLA Qsland of Negroes, Philip
pine Islands), November 7-Panay is
the shipping port for all products Of
Negroes. Negros Island was first gar
risoned by the California Volunteers,
which regiment was replaced early in
July 1898, by the Sixth United States
Infantry. Brigadier General Smith, for
merly Colonel of the California's. is
Military Governor of Negros, and since
last July affairs here have advanced
rapidly and well under his direction.
Last July the situation had two sides,
the military and the civil The Sixth
Infantry had before it the duty of sup
pressing the interior mountain bandits,
as well as the scattering of the revo-
lutionary party, which was operating
under instructions from Aguinaldo in
Luzon. AS to civil matters, General
Smith held in view the establishment
and maintenance of a civil and elective
government which would ultimately
serve to show the other revolving ISL
ands what good things would be en-
joyed under American rule. Negros
was selected as the most promising
field for this experiment.
Since July last these bandits, who
have held undisputed control over part
of this country for years, have encoun-
tered the Sixth Infantry and they are
not nearly as numerous as formerly
and consequently the profession has
lost much Of its popularity and may be
considered to be upon its last legs. It
would be unwise to state in print just
how many of these marauders have
been killed by the Sixth-the number is
large, and there would surely be peo-
pie at home in ignorance of the fact
that drastic and severe measures alone
can remedy this evil. and who conse-
quently might raise an cutlery against
the killings. A part of our inheritance
from Spain is the robber chief known
locally as Papa, or Popisso. He is the
leader Of the band operating in the
southern portion Of the island, who are
called Babyalanes, a wild superstitious

FENIAN ORGANIZATION.
Pro-Boer Agitation May Make It
Active Again.

OMAHA, Dec. 24.-The bee" will
say tomorrow. There is something
more than a likelihood that the pro-
Boer agitation, now so general through
out the United States, will lead to the
resuscitation of the once celebrated Or
ganization among Irish-Americans
known as the Fenians which planned
and executed an invasion Of Canada
in 1866
Conferences with a numberaof Irish
Americans who pretend at least that
they knew nothing Of the movement,
disclosed the fact that the conviction
is quite general among them that there
should be an organization effected
among them which could make it's ex-
istence effective, if only by a threat
of repeating the Fenian invasion of
1866, as it would deter the British
from sending any more troops to
Africa

The greatest trouble SO far has oc-
CURED in Nooksack Valley, where the
river yesterday rose two feet. The big
railroad bridge of the Bellingham Bay
and Columbia Railroad at Everson, a
115 foot span, went out last night, to-
gether with several county bridges.
Sections of Everson and other Nooksack
Valley towns have been cutting brush
and heaping stone for twenty -four
hours in an attempt to save the remain
ing bridges. The railroad is assisting
with work trains. Another county
bridge at Linden is washed out. The
Nooksack River has long been noted
for it's sudden rises, but all records were
broken last night, when the water
gauge at Everson showed a hight of
ninety-one feet Many farms in the
Nooksack Valley are flooded and con-
siderable stock has been lost. The
shingle mills on the south fork of the
Nooksack have been badly damaged by
the terrible flood which is pouring
through the mills, Many RATS with
single bolts were carried into Puget
Sound and lost. At Deming all the fam
lilies on the water front were compelled
to move and water covers the floors of
business houses. Similar results have
followed floods in the Cowlitz and Ska
git Valleys. Thousands of acres of the
finest farming lands in Stuck Valley
are under water.
