iFlipinos Now Carrying on Guerrilla
Campaign.
|, MANILA, Feb. 13-Contrary to gem
eral expectations all is quiet along the
entire line. 5sSs'
In Manila the inhabitants have gem
orally recovered from the alarm ocsa-
stoned by the fear of native uprising
and are resuming their ordinary bIsi-
ness. The shipping interests are natHr
ally suffering, since there have been no
clearances for Philippine ports for q
week, but on the other hand foreign
shipping has increased, especially from
Hong Kong, every steamer botlId
thither being crowded with timid rem
gees.
94sl Rebels Now Bushwhacklng.
Despite this quietude, however, many
are asking whether the problem is not
still further from solution. A week ago
those who took an optimistic view pre-
dicted that the terrible lesson just ad-
ministered to the rebels would settle
the question Of Filipino Independence
in short order. But this prediction has
not been fulfilled. AS matter of fact the
| rebels are now scattered throughout the
country, pushwhacking, except at Mala'
bon, where they are gathered in force.
Even their methods SAVIOR more of the
| guerrilla than of civilized warfare, every
bush, clump of trees and tree furnish.
| ing a cover for their sharpsho ooters.

PORT ARTHUR SHIP CANAL.


Port Arthur, Texas, March S.-The
Port Arthur ship canal will be practi-
caly completed about the Goth inst.
when it is proposed to celebrate the
event in fitting manner. The canal
was designed and constructed by Mr.
Robert Gilham, general manager and
chief engineer Of the Kansas City,
Plttsburg and Gulf Railroad. Mr.. A. b.
Stilwell, president of the road first
suggested the canal and interested Mr.
j. De Goeijen,. Jr., of Amsterdam. Hol-
land, a large foreign holder of the
roads securities. The work was begun
during the spring of 1896. The canal
is designed to extend deep water from
the Sabine Pass To Port Arthur, the
former having depth of % feet over
the bar. The dimensions are the same
as those OF the Suez canal. 1S3 feet wide
and with a depth of 25 feet. 1t is seven
and a half miles long. The excavations
were made by hydraulic dredges. the
work involving the dredging of 14,000.-
600 yards OF clay. etc.
Extensive ship basins, slips, docks.
warehouses and a large grain elevator
are in course OF construction. Consid-
cradle export business has already
been done at Port Arthur. and when
the canal is completed additional
steamship lines will be established.

RHODE ISLAND VOLUNTEERS.
COMMITTEES on Reception holds a Meeting at State
Rousa-WlIl Communicate With Col. Abbot

The committee appointed to arrange
for a suitable reception to the mem
bers of the First Rhode Island regi-
ment upon their return to this city,
met at the State House this afternoon,
to consider the existing situation. Ac-
cording TO the information received by
the committee from Col. Abbot last
week, there seemed to be reason to be-
a body, agreeing 10 remain under the
reception had taken place in Provi-
dence.
Since that time, however, from other
sources ii has been stated that Col. Abb
bot has again sounded the men in re-
gard 10 coming home in body, and it
is said that the result was to leave the
matter practically the same as il was
the subject was first broached. OF the
100 men In the regiment, only 500 voted
to come home as "A unit. This will
probably end the matter, so far as Col
Abbot is concerned, as he will not come
home with only half a regiment. This
leaves matters i'm "A somewhat compli-
Gated state. and, under the circum-
stances, il will make il very difficult
for the committee TO arrive at a de-
cision.
The members of the committee will
however, consider the question very
thoroughly, and viii probably hold
further correspondence with Col. Alb
bot before arriving at a definite con-
clusion.

INSURRECTION IN CHINA.


Victoria, 3. c., March S.-Details of
the insurrection In the Central pro-
vinces of China, received by the steam
er Empress OF India. state that the
rebel force and the imperial troops met
I'm a pitched battle on January % and
the latter were defeated with great
slaughter. Hundreds were killed and
their bodies after having been multi
ated were thrown into the river until
according to a correspondent of China
Mail. the stream was like a log jammed
creek.
After the defeat OF the imperial
troops, the victorious rebels swept on
TO the cities of Kuyang and Meng
Sheng, which they took after a short
siege. AS soon as they passed the
walls they massacred men, women and
children and performed all manner of
revolving cruelties. They then burned
the captured towns.
After these successes the rebels push
ed on to Kauchen. The gates of the
city were opened by sympathizers
within and the horrors witnessed at
previous captures were re-enacted.
Kauchen held out for some time. At
length Niu and his followers gained an
entrance TO begin their slaughter AS
a revenge for his having held the city
against the rebels the unfortunate COM
mandant of the garrison was butcher
ed with savage cruelty. 1t is said 200
men. women and children fell in the
struggle attending the capture of the
city. 1t is feared a great famine will
follow the insurrection for so terrified
are the natives that the crops have all
been left standing and will not be har-
vested
