INSURGENTS GROWING WEAKER

Washington, May s-The war depart
ment has received from General Otis a
despatch giving the situation in tho Phil
ippines, some parts Of which have been
omitted by the war department in max
ing 1t public. The despatch is as fol-
lows:
Manila, May 8.
Adjutant General. Washington:
Situation as follows: Lawton at
Maasin and Balinag; scouting parties to
north and east. Macarthur at san Fer
nando population of country
by troops returning to their homes; ap-
pear cheerful and contented. Army gun
boats operating in rivers. Have cleared
country west Of Macarthur of insurgents
y Signs of insurgent weakness
more apparent daily. OTIS.
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS EN-
COURAGED.
Washington, May s.-The war depart
ment officers seem to be more than ever
encouraged over the situation In Manila.
The report of Gen. Otis received today,
indicates that the American troops are
we'll disposed. 1t has been evident that
the insurgents which were operating in
the swamps and jungles east Of Gen. Mac
Arthur, have been very annoying, but the
army Runboats have made 1t too hot for
them to remain. Gen. Lawton appears
to be pushing northward some 10 miles
tc the east of Macarthur. The Rio Grande
river lies between them and there the
gunboats evidently are at work. The
portions of the dispatch. which the depart
ment has not made public refer perhaps
to the future movements OF the two d.
visions of the army.
A GOOD TRI OK.
Manila, May 8, $50 p. m.-The Filipi-
nos surprised the United States forces at
San Fernando with a daring trick on yes
terday. A railway train with an engine
at each end was run almost to the Ameri-
can outposts and in plain sight of the
town. Before they could be reached
gang of:natives sprang off the train, tore
upseverAl lengths ofrailway track, boarded
the train again and the train steamed
away SO quickly that there was no oppor-
tunity to capture the raiders.

LONGEVITY,
Why Men I'm Professional Pursuits
Live Longer Than Those
Business.

In the ma jority of cases among city
dwellers those who reach advanced
ages are found to have been profess
sionai men. There are good many
reasons for this.
In the first place, the struggle for ex-
istence begins later in professional life
than in other centers. The profession
al man seldom begins his work much
before 25, while the business man or
laborer goes to work at the age of 10,
Thus the professional man has seven
clear years Qs freedom from RESPONSE
hility. moderate work and healthy eX.
istence. Secondly. the occupation of
the professional man generally takes
him TO a considerable extent into the
open air, and is very seldom entirely
sedentary. Thirdly, the professional
man generally enjoys that modest CON-
petence which saves him at once on
the one hand from starvation or penury
and on the other hand from idleness
and excess. Fourthly, his holidays are
generally ample. Filthy, to certain
extent his livelihood generally depends
on his leading at least a comparatively
sober and moral life, violent excesses
running both his standing and his busi-
ness capacity. SiXthly, professional
ca'lings are exposed to very few special
dangers. Lastly, since even a minor
ailment often units man entirely
for professional works. he has a special
motive In taking particular care Of his
health

GOES WITH THE HOUSE.
AZ Least One DOorpIate Is Il ept In Its
Place by the VIII of Its
Dead Owner,

In the cross streets in the old village
of Greenwich one will still find houses
with green painted doors and brass
knobs and doOrplates. The brass is
generally bright, as it was always kept
in the old times when sand was used as
q burnisher. The names on the door
plates are not always the names of the
occupants of the house. New York
Sun reporter in his strolls in Vandam
street noticed more than the usual
number of doorpiates and asked po-
iiceman a question, which elected the
following:
Take the name on that doorplate,"
pointing to door close by; "the man
whose game is there has been dead
nearly 40 years. And after him his
family lived there for long time. and
the daughter married and she lived in
the same house for long time, and the
name was never changed on the plate.
Then she moved away. | don't know
what became of her. The house was
vacant awhile, and the doorplate re-
manned all the time. Then the house
was rented, and one day for curiosity
| asked why the doorplate was not re-
moved, and was told that the original
owner had it put in his will that DIS
long as the house stood the doorplat te
was to stay on the door. And spose
it's the same way with all the old
houses that have doorplates."

BULLETS FIRED AT SAN JUAN.
From One TO Two Millions Were Dis
charged at the Sixth Reg
uIar Regiment.

'Have you any idea of the hailstorn.
Juan hill ," said one of the officers OF
the Sixth the other evening while at
supper with several of his fellow Of
fcers. who had been in the battle. This
started the discussion. and Capt. Ken
non figured out approximately how
many bullets were fired at the Sixth on
that eventful day.
Gathered up on the top of the hill
were 1900 Spaniards and with their
Mausers they could FIRE ten shots per
minute with the greatest ease. and this
makes $4,000 bullets which were rained
down on the Sixth every minute. The
battle lasted for an hour and a half
which is 90 minutes. and there were 90
times 1000 bullets fired. for the firing
was steady and did not slack up at any
time. This makes 1.350.OO0 bullets
which were fired at the Sixth during the
engagement, and with these figures BE-
fore one it is easy to understand why
only some 50 of the brave boys who
marched eut of the city last April re-
turned,
The estimate of the number of bul
lots fired given above is conservative as
the Narsers can easily fire 20 shots per
minute. a-d it is probable that nearly
100000 bullets were in the storm OF
lead which the Sixth weathered.

The ISLAND OF pALAWAN.
II Is Suggested as United states NJ
val Station in the Philippine
Archipelago.

Palawan, the long island which lies at
the gate OF the East Indies. and which
our naval experts have selected for the
Asiatic naval station of the United
States, is the object of much interest
just now because some of the Euro
peans contend that the Spaniards have
no title to it. Although some 300 miles
long. II IS very narrow. AT some places
it is only five miles between the two
coasts. Ii is covered with magnifi-
cent forest of great value. Like most
of the Philippines, it has a central
mountain chain, extending in the direc
ton of its greatest length. The only
civilized settlement is a penal colony
at Puerto Princessa, the capital, with
military garrison. There is a fine har-
Dor, and the town is surrounded by a
fertile country. Three tribes of natives
inhabit Palawan. The Moros. who are
Mohammedans; the Patacks, who roam

their time is spent in the forest hunt

ment, presided over by petty mag
istrate, and the office is hereditary The
affairs of each community are directed
by council of elders, who administer
justice according to their own ideas
The Spaniards have never attempted to

have been established by the priests,
