THE NATIVES WRONG.
Filipinos Have Placed Themselves in
 Bad Light.

London, March 3O-The Speaker this week, commenting upon the difficulties of the Americans In the Philippines and as- sertng that the new series of troubles which is said to be inevitable even after the capture of Malolos. probably puts an end to the Philipne republic, continues:
 Tt must be noted throughout the present struggle the Filipinos have put themselves in the wrong. The plea that they were fighting in defence of their rights does not hold good in the case of Manila, which is the center of European interests. It could not be left to the mercy of revolutionaries. America, through no fault of hers, has be- come responsible for the good government of the Philippine islands, and is bound to suppress Aguinaldo as we suppressed MT. Abi Pasha for the protection of European interests in Egypt. It may be possible to give the Filipinos local self government, even independence, but for the present it is absolutely necessary to secure peace at Manila for the maintenance of the com merce of the islands. If, by threats the Filipino government made it impossible, the fault lies with itself and not with the United States, for the present gallant troops in the newer west are the manda- tories of civilization and Europe and are carrying on tho war in the interests of peace"

INCREASE OF ARMY.
Mckinley Anxious to Avoid Recruiting
 to Full Quota.

Washington. March 3o.-(Special)-The president is very anxious to avoid recruit ing the full quota of men allowed him un- der the bill passed just before the adjourn ment. He does not want to go before the country with having enlisted hundred thousand men. He will not do it, moreover, if it can be helped.
 The pressure on him to increase the army to it's full number IS something tre- mendous. Whenever he so decides and is- sues the order there will be great num- Der of staff and line appointments to be made, and every public man has two or more candidates for military honors. The president will not issue the order until he finds that it is necessary to put down the rebellion in the Philippines. He is still holding out against the pressure. Yester- day he said to those who were urg ng him to enlist the full quota that he would only do so when 1t was discovered that peace

A FIurry in Whiskey

Louisville, Ky, March 30.-The price list of the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware house company just issued has caused a furry in whisky. It shows the company is holding all the goods at high prices. Prices of some whisky are quoted at an advance of 50 per cent, and a few brands are held for almost 100 per cent in advance of what they have been selling for. This means much to the small thinker. Under the conn pany's quotation every drink at the bar will advance about cents.

 At the war department it is generally believed that before the spring is in full blossom the hundred thousand will be or dered. General Corbin Is said to favor in- creasing the army to hundred thousand, believing that the standing army of the country should not be smaller than this and that the only way ever to get this permanent increase is to get the peo- pie use to the idea by showing them that there is nothing to fear from this number of their fellow-ctizens being under arms.

GENERAL GOMEZ IS DISGUSTED

Havana, March Ex-Governor General Brooke has almost made up his mind to send the s, GOO 900 back to the United States if the Cuban assembly does not give up the army rolls.
 "You may as well do so and not trif1e much longer" said Secretary Alger when discussing the matter two days ago.
 A file of United States troops would prob ably be sent to take the rolls If the military administration knew exactly where they are, but there Is feeling that a mistake might be made.
 In the course of conversation with an old friend from San Domingo today General Gomez said:
 T am ready to go home. I am tired of this jangle with the assembly. I have learned something about this people which did not know before They are an un- grateful people. They don't appreciate what the United States government is do- ing for them-a service in which am as- SiSting.

 Night in the Jungle
 Manila, March 31-7:35 a. m-The United States troops rested last night in the jungle about a mile and quarter from Malolos. The days advance began at o'clock and covered a distance of about two and half road. The brunt of the battle was on the right of the track where the enemy was apparently concentrated. The First Ne braska, the First South Dakota and Tenth entrenched on the border of the woods, and the Americans, advancing across the open, suffered terrific fire for half an hour. Four men of the Nebraska were killed and Dakota regiment were wounded and one of the Pennsylvanians was killed.
 The Americans finally drove the Fiipinos back. Although there were three lines of strong entrenchments along the track, the enemy made scarcely any defense there.
 Macarthur Under Heavy Fire
 General Macarthur and his stan were walking on the track abreast of the line with everything quiet when suddenly they received shower of bullets from sharp shooters in trees and on house tops, but these were speedily dislodged
 The enemy's loss was apparently small, the jungle affording them such protection that the Americans were unable to see them, and in firing were guided only by the sound of the Filipinos' shots. The American artillery was handicapped for the same reason.
 Last nights long line of campfires made a beautiful sight, with the Twentieth Kan sas regiment on the left of Gulguinto sta- ton and the Pennsylvania regiment on the right beyond the river.
