FLIGHT OF THE REBELS.
Retire In Haste as American Troops
Approach linus.

Manila, June 15.-Captain Cable of
General Wheaton's staff, with three
companies of the Twenty-first regi-
ment, reconnoitered in the direction of
linus. The rebels, who were apparent
ly expecting an attack, retired, leaving
behind them twenty Spanish prisoners,
who Joined the Americans. The rebels
have probably gone to the mountains
along the lake.
According to native stories, the rebels
carried 100 dead and 800 wounded
through Bacoor after the recent battle
The natives are now flooding into Ba-
coor. and it is probable there are many
soldiers in plain clothes among them
The whole section is practically with
out food and Major General Otis has
ordered the distribution of rice and
beef to the inhabitants.
Many people still refuse to credit the
stories of the assassination of General
Luna by the guard at Aguinaldo's
headquarters. Though the reports to
that effect are most circumstantial and
from good sources and rumors of as
sassinations and disasters from the
rebel camp are SO frequently printed
in the local papers, they have come to
be regarded with Indifference. The
latest is that the governor of Cebu has
been killed by natives because of his
friendship to Americans. a prominent
commercial man. with exceptional
means of learning of the Filipinos
movements, claims to know General
Luna is still alive. adding that if he is
dead. and if his death occurred a
month ago, people would have expected
a collapse of the revolution to follow.
The failure of the Filipinos to follow
up the peace NEGOTIATIONS strengthens
the impression that their overtureS
were merely to gain time and then lure
the Americans to show their hands.
The Independence, a revolutionary
organ, of May 20. a copy of which has
just been obtained, prints an interview
with General Luna, showing the argu-
ments he used to keep up the spirits
of his followers. He represents the
Filipino cause as prospecting, because
the Americans have gained only hun
dredth part of LuZon by hard fighting"
and says the women and children till
ing the fields within the American lines
give the proceeds of their work in sup
port of the Filipino army. He is said
to have further remarked:
More Americans will be killed by
ambuscades. surprises and disease than
in battles. / detest war. but we can
not accept peace at any price but in
dependence. The Americans suffered
for their own independence. and in
their own hearts they appreciate why
we resist them"

San Francisco on the 22nd and 24th,
and those under orders for Manila, will
give General Otis $4,000 fighting men.
1t is stated positively at the war de-
partmenG that the report that 1t was
intended to reduce the cavalry troops
and artillery batteries in this country
to ninsty-five men each, in order to in
crease the companies in the Philippines
TO 40 men each is absolutely without
foundation. The approved plan for the
reinforcement of the army operating in
the Philippines is briefly stated by a
high officials of the war department
as follows:
The increase of the size of the COM
panies with General Otis with lbs men
to the company was made from 300
men, heretofore the hospital corps,
which the controller has decided may
be enlisted over and above the $1,000
men provided By law. In addition the
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth regi-
ments of infantry have been ordered
To Manila and General Otis has been
ordered to organize three skeleton vol
unteer regiments in Manila, differed
from volunteers in the Philippines from
the regular army.
General Otis has informed the de-
partment that he can organize these
regiments. 1t is proposed to send him
recruits from here to fill them to their
maximum limit. The arrangements re-
ferred to will give General Otis a fight
ing force of over $4,000 men of the line.
These plans have been approved by
the president and will be put into eX-
ecution with the least possible delay.
The field and staff officers and cap
tains of these three regiments will be
selected from the volunteer and 1'egu-
lar officers who have demonstrated
their special fitness to command ana
who have distinguished themselves In
action. 1t is expected also that the
first lieutenants will be chosen from
second lieutenants in the service in the
Philippines who may be especially
commended by General Otis. The vol
unteer second lieutenants probably will
go out from the United States with the
recruiting SQUADS

INCREASE THE FIGHTING FORCE
How General Otis Proposes to Add to
His Army

Washington, June H.-Pursuing a
policy determined upon some months
ago, General Otis is organizing three
regiments in the Philippines composed
of officers and men of the state volun-
teers who desire to remain in the serv-
ice The army bin authorized this kind
of enlistment in the Philippines. If the
full complement cannot be made up
from these discharged volunteers in the
Philippines. the regiments will be or
ganized and differed in skeleton form,
until recruits can be sent from the
United States to fill them. General
Otis and the volunteer officers in the
Philippines have been consulting to see
how many men will enlist.
The number has not been very large.
as there seems to be a desire on the
part OF the volunteers to return to the
United States with their organizations.
These three proposed regiments. with
three regiments of regulars to sail from

Estimate of Revenues and EX-
penSeS Show 1t Is Needed.
SEVEN MILLS LAST YEAR
CITY COUNCIL FINANCE COM
MITTEE DIVIDED.
Rate of Seven and Half Mills Fa-
vored By Minority-Library Tax
Will Probably Be one-quarter
Mill-Total of Assessments Must
Be Raised, or Rate Will Be Higher

Assuming and hoping that the total
OF assessments in Salt Lake City will
be brought up to last years aggregate,
the city council committee on finance
is considering the propriety of recon-
mending tax levy of az or mills for
the city's needs the ensuing fiscal year.
The committee discussed the question
last evening, but deferred a vote until
next week
The majority of the committee. re-
membering the improbable experience
of last year, when only Z mills were
levied, inclined to the opinion that S
mills for this year would be none too
much to see the treasury through to
July, 1900, without a deficit The mi
nority hoped to pull through with ~
mills, and one member thought So
would be a small enough levy.

Worlds Wheat Cron

Washington, June 15.-The agricul-
tural department today issued circu-
lar giving the substance of reports re-
ceived by it up to June-10 on the con-
dition of foreign crops 1t says that
British commercial estimate tenta-
lively puts the worlds wheat crop of
1899 at 1904, 100000 bushels, against p
74S, 900. 900 bushels in 1898. a reduction
of pa, 600, 600 bushels, or nearly SO per
cent. Another estimate makes a reduc-
ton of 1852, 000, 600 bushels.

To Develop the islands.

New York. June 15.-According to
the Brussels correspondent of the Her
aid a company has been formed in Bel
GUM for the purpose of developing the
Philippine islands, the capital stock be-
ing fixed at 100000 francs. The board
of directors included NJ. Melot Burgo,
Master Namur de Brocqueville and NJ.
Thieupont, members of the Belgian
chamber. and NJ. Andre, Belgian con-
sui general at Manila.

Losses and Gains.

1t was also explained that the month
~ average of maintenance expenses in
1898 was $685. AS, compared with $2S, 259
for the year previous. The license
revenues for 1898 exceeded the esti-
mate of $1,000 but the miscellaneous
earnings fell a little short and are now
estimated at $4,000 for the fiscal year.
leaving the estimated receipts, other
than from taxes, for the ensuing twelve
months, $4,000 in excess of last year S
estimate. Another $1,000 is gained by
reason of the bond interest being re-
duced on account of the new per cent
series.
The committee had the county as
SCISSORS totals before it, showing less
than s29. 500 600, and s2,0O0,00O short Of
last years totals. a total of about
81. 900. 900 is expected from railroad and
wire line property valuations from the
state board of equalization to be added
yet for taxation by the city, but where
the balance is coming from to make
the taxing values equal to last years
total the committee could not figure
out, unless the county or the state
equaliZerS do some boosting.
Last year the collector was charged
with 1928, 24015 of taxes to collect, but
the amount realized fell short of this,
on account of uncollectible items and
tax sales. 1t was clear to the commit
tee, however, that the needs of the city
for this year on the estimates at hand
will require a tax levy of mills, pro-
vided. of course, the total assessment
amounts to as much as was settled
upon last year.
AS to the librarys necessities, the
finance committee pretty well agreed
that one-fourth of a mill. yielding
about $500, would be all that the tax
payers could stand. The library trus-
tees want a third of a mill levied.
