Manila, May 2S.-The approach of
the wet season finds the insurrection
seemingly taking a new lease of life.
All along the American lines the rebels
are showing more aggressive activity
in their guerilla style, than any time
before or since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the United States troops in the
trenches. sleeping in their clothing and
constantly on the alert against daShes
on our outpoStS and then make life
warm for the American garrisons in
the towns.
The bands of General Luna and Cen
eral Mascardo. which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between General Macarthur
and General LawtOn, have returned in
force to their old trenches around San
Fernando, where there are daily col
lisions, Opposite our lines on the
south, protecting Manila, all the way
around to San Pedro Macati. the
FilipinoS have three rows of trenches
most of the distance
Think Americans Are Whipped.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace ne
gotiationS to mean that the Americans
have had enough OF fighting. The
FilipinoS are encouraged by the belief
that the Americans are preparing for
an interval of inactivity during the
wet season. This period is sure to be
followed by much suffering. Thousands
of acres of land that were under cult
walton last year have not been plG-- ed
this year and the government will prob
ably be Obliged to feed thousands just
as it fed the Cubans.
Friendly natives Amigos, continue to
pour into the American lines by land
and river routes, coming from the
territory of the insurrection into the
country where the passage of the two
armies has left no food, and practically
throwing themselves upon the charity
of their conquerors. Such able-bodied
men as are not in the F'ilipinos ranks
have been kept by the insurgent lead
ers to dig trenches, and old men, wom-
en- and children form the mass of the
refugees. These are doing some plow-
ing, but they will be confronted by
hunger before they can realize any
subsistence from their crops. The
United States army has organized
system of distributing rice at Malolos,
and some of the smaller towns where
Filipino stores were captured, but the
latter will soon be exhausted.
Troops For Iloilo.
The United States transport Morgan
City, which arrived here from San
Francisco with 500 recruits for various
regiments sailed today for Iloilo with
the troops.
AS it was impossible to take to Spain
the remains of Spanish General Mon
tero. who was fatally wounded in a
recent engagement with the Filipinos
in the island of Mindanao and who died
while being brought here from Zarn-
boanga on the transport Leon XIII, it
was decided that the interment should
take place in Manila. The funeral took
place today. hundreds of Spanish SOL
diers and civilians attending the serv-
ices in the cathedral and following the
cortege to the grave with wreaths and
flags.
The Spanish papers declare that Mon

ernmend's neglect.

Such is the due of a hero; such is the

That expression of the admiral en-

ASSA|LANT OF
MCDONNELL IS
STILL At LARGE
Police Working in the
Dark.

Detective Ed Gibson is still pursuing
his investigation into the mysterious CUT
ting of William Mcdonnell. the marine
fremans who, after being stabbed a num-
Der of times, was thrown into the oay by
his murderous assailant.
Larry Powers, who was at first thought
to know something Of the desperate
crime. was interviewed last night by Glib
son in his room on First street near
Brannan. He emphatically denied that
he knew anything about the cutting. lie
admitted that he was acquainted with
Mcdonnell, but disclaimed the idea that
he was in any way connected with the
bloody crime. The detective is satisfied
that Mcdonnell had a row with some I'M
known man who. after repeatedly stab
bling him, threw him into the bay in the
hope OF covering up the crime.
Mcdonnell was visited by his sister-in-
law yesterday forenoon at the Marine
Hospital. She endeavored to get him TO
give further particulars of the assault,
but he refused to do so, and stated that
he had no desire for the authorities to
deal with the man who had stabbed him.
He intimated that when he got well he
would attend to the punishment himself.
