Rebels stlll on the Run.

Washington, May 19.-That the in.
surgents are disintegrated and demon
allied is perfectly manifest from the

treat along the Rio Grande, has flung
his advance, which at last advices was
resting at San Miguel, northward about
twelve miles, has taken San Isidro, the

Sultan With a Harem,

Washington, May 17.-Through I'M
official agents the government has been
quietly making investigation into the
state of affairs in the insular group
just south of the Visayas islands, with
view to determining whether by
good management the inhabitants
cannot be brought into allegiance to
the United States without insurrection.
The natives are in general Mohamme-
dams and owe allegiance to a sultan
whom the Spaniards have never been
able to bring into more than nominal
submission. He maintains o harem
and lives in state, and it is probable
that an annuity will have to be pro-
vided for him out of the revenues of
the islands after the United States
takes possession.

Washington, May IS. - General
Brooke has not reported to the war
department any serious situation in
Cuba, and 1t is not believed at the de-
partment that any alarm need be felt
regarding the condition of affairs. No
advice is given General Brooke, as it
has been the policy Of the president to
clothe the officers in command in the
islands with plenary powers to deal
with situations as they arise and hold
such officers responsible.
One thing is assured beyond all other
considerations. The United States will
remain for the present in absolute con-
troll of the island, and the orders of the
officers in command will be sustained
by the government at Washington.

that China has approached the Japan

shelves and counters of Stearns q Archi-
