A CRISIS AT ILOILO.
Insurgents Refuse to Give Up the Town
and IA Fight Is Imminent.

Manila. Jan. 1.-The following dis
patch, dated Friday afternoon, De
cember Both, at Iloilo, island of Pa
nay, has just been received here by
boat. telegraphic communication with
Iloilo not having been resumed:
"The situation at Iloilo is grave. Fiji
teen hundred natives, fully armed, are
at Melo, a suburb of Iloilo Seventeen
thousand more, it is reported, are
awaiting orders to embark at several
points on the island of Negros, fifteen
hours sail from Iloilo.
"All the women have withdrawn
and many families have taken refuge
with the Americans. The rebels, after
a consultation, insist upon inaction un-
til General Aguinaldo shall have been
heard from. General Miller, when this
demand was first made. declined to
concede them time and insisted upon
an answer being given him by noon to-
day. At the same time he gave assur-
ances that lives and property would be
protected.
THE foreign residents then peti.
toned General Miller to grant the ex-
tension desired by the rebels, as fight
would cause inevitable loss. This also
General Miller refused.
AT the designated time native
commission again boarded the United
States transport Newport and asked
for delay, saying that they were un.
able to control the army, which COM
manded the city and surrounding
country. General Miller refused and
prepared to land forces, sending an
emissary back to Manila for instruc-
tons.
THE rebels are strengthening their
position and are preparing to resist.
The streets of Iloilo are full of armed
soldiers, who are constantly entering
IN every direction. There is great ex.
citement, which is increased by the ap.
pearance of the gunboat Ell Cano fiy-
ing the Spanish flag. The public
buildings, churches and boats along the
river are filled with rebels.

England is being driven out Of the
market OF Central Asia by Russia, ac-
cording to a French magazine. The
article referred to is summarized in
part as follows: A marked increase
is noted in the commerce of British
India with Khorassan. In 1867 the
value of the English exports from
Bombay to Mashed was only some
s437. 900, less than half that of the pre-
ceding year. This condition of affairs
is explained as follows. The customs
regulations in force along the whole
extent of the transcaspian frontier
prohibit the entrance of European and
British-India goods to the markets
OF Central Asia, with the exception Of
tea, muslin. indigo, spices, Indian
shoes, precious stones and coral, and
these articles are subject to high du-
ties. Russia has succeeded in having
these articles exported by way of
Batum, thus aiding the Trans-caspian
railway. The government Of the czar
is trying to monopolize the commerce
of Eastern and Southern Persia. Sub
sidies are granted to traders, good
roads have been made in the transcas-
pian territory, consular agents are in
stalled in several districts Of Khoras-
!ean. and the emigration of Russian
merchants to different parts of the
proyince is encouraged. The Russian
merchants have penetrated almost to
the frontiers of India, so that where
the English should be masters OF the
markets, mostly Russian goods are
sold. The Russian government is also
having Russian manufacturers boun-
ties so large that the goods can be
placed on the Central Asia market at
cost Of manufacture, thus driving out
goods made in India. The building
by Russia of the Trans-caspian rail-
way has given that country an i'm
mense advantage.
