| Manila, Sept ga force of native po-
/ lice has begun to patrol the city of
Manila, cooperating with the provost
guards whose lack of knowledge of the
language and the resorts of native Grim
inals had given many opportunities for
burglaries an industry which has been
flourishing of late. The new force in
cludes many members of the old force
and some insurgents who had grown
tired of fighting. 1t has already done
good work in running down native Grim
inals. The American secret service re-
Gently found a Filipino spy in Calamba.
He is supposed to have been the man
who stole four guns belonging to the
Washington regiment. He offered des-

was sent to capture him and tried to

head. Finally he was brought down by
rifle bullet in the hip, He died after

FlItptnos short of Rsttons.
Many Spanish prisoners are escaping
from the F'ilipinos, and bringing into
the American lines stories of hard
treatment. They agree that the Fill
pinos are exceedingly short of ratons
and that a large section of their troops
is reduced to the use Of home made
black powder. The natives are trying
every scheme to get food and munitions
from Manila. Daily arrests are made
for attempts to smuggle contraband of
war through the American lines. In one
case a cascoe with cargo of bamboo
poles was overhauled and the poles
We're found full of rice.
The insurgents have wholesome re-
spect for the British on account of sew
eral threats of British warships to
lombard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are respected Two
British vessels, the Lacson and the
Nero, We're driven by stress of weather
into the barbor of Dagupan, the north
ern terminus of the Dagupan railway.
The crews were imprisoned, but, on their
protesting that they We're British sub
jects, the insurgent authorities permit
ted one man, Edwards, to come to
Manila, promising to release the crew
of the Lacson if Edwards secured from
the British consul at Manila state
ment establishing the nationality of the
crew. A similar concession was made
to the crew of the Nero. Edwards says
he saw several American prisoners, who
were better fed than the Spaniards or
the Filipino soldiers. Moreover they
were not compelled to work as the
Spanish prisoners are.
