AGUINALDo's SUPPLIES CUT OFF.
Tho Small Gunboats Doing Good Service in
the Philippines.


WASHINGTON. July 2S.-With the increase OF
the naval force In the Philippines by the twelve
gunboats purchased by Gen. OTIS from the
Spaniards and the four gunboats captured by
Dewey. the blockade OF ports in the islands
will be made more secure. and naval officers
predict that the insurgent cause will suffer Sc
verely through the stoppage of outside aid. Just
how the insurgents manage to procure their
outside supplies the Government has been un-
able to ascertain. but the opinion appears
to be general in official quarters that the
Filipinos are making extensive purchases OF
munitions OF war and food. They appear to
have plenty OF money and have spent 1t freely
In getting tho things they need. The new
notilla OF gunboats has been engaged in block
AIDE service for only month So but the
Filipinos have suffered greatly in that short
they were getting before the blockade was ex-
tended. These CUNT oats are all Of light draught
and are consequently able to enter the numer-
GUS shallow laRoons and rivers Astounding In
tho Philippines.
Much OF the illicit trade between Iuzon and
quires goodly supply of the weed to make
life beerable to him. Many bloc kade runners,
mostly small trading craft. have been captured
by the American gun boats recently. and. as
result. the FilipinOs are unQucstionab suffer
ing severely from the absence OF their favOrite
soace. These blockade runners also carried
arms and ammunition. 1t is predicted at the
Navy Department that before tho end Of the
rainy season the Filipino forces in l.uzon will
have little ammunition left. Some officers are
confident that tho tightening of tn" blockade
will practically put an end to the instruction.
