An American Advance.

manila, SeplemDer -7.-Ino AmcTl-
can authorities have declined the re-
quest of General Jaramila, the Spanish
officer who is setting Spain's military
affairs in the Philippine islands, TO
send vessel under the Spanish flag
to collect the Spanish prisoners at
insurgent ports, as stipulated by the
Filipinos, on the ground that the ports
are closed that such step, therefore
would be unlawful, and because they
declined 10 accept the Filipinos' dicta-
ton. The authorities d. are ready to
send an American vessel. The Span
ish commission, therefore, will return
to the insurgept lines and endeavor to
affect an arrangement for the delivery
of the prisoners on board an American
vessel.
Aguinado has issued a statement
saying the warIlke activity of the
Americans has prevented the concen-
tration Of The prisoners, as intended,
but that they will be delivered up
October 10TH.
The Tagals of the the island of
Mindanao have expressed their read
ness to accept American sovereignty
in exchange for protection against the
harasslng Moros. A native chief offer
ed Major General Otis t,o Macabee
tribesmen 10 fsbt the Tagals of the
Laguna de Bey district.
The insurgents are ,iying to lncite
the natives Of Malabon, city of Co.,
ooo inha bitants, five miles from Manila
to rise against the American garrison.
Captain Allen has been holding the
place with two companies of the Six
teenth Infantry; but, on account Of the
need Of all the available men at the
front, his force has been reduced to
seventy men. They now remain near
the big church, where they are quarter.

to patrol the town. Armed, Uniform
ed parties Of the :psrrsen recently
dlsembarked from canoes during The
night, collected money for the insur-
rection aud preached revolt. Two
mayors have been elected, but both of
them have declined to serve.
Malabon has been made the ship
ping point whence provisions and
other stuffs are brought from Manila by
trains and shipped into the hostile
territory. The insurgents seemed TO
be trying to make their good treat
lnent of the American prisoners card
by which to gain outside sympathy.
Two Englishmen who have arrived
here from Tarlac report that the
are treated more like guests
than prisoners, They are fed on the
best that the country affords and
everything is done 10 gain their favor.
A Filipino paper says that that ON
the occasion Of a recent fete atVittoria
In celebration OF a mythical Filipino
the American prisoners were
given freedom of the town and five
pesos each with which to celebrate the
victory
The Englshmen also say the Fill
pinos have offered all the Americans

not believed.

FILIPINO GENTILITY.

'Speaking OF the oft-repeated state
,ment that the Filipinos are a very de-
graded, ignorant and uncivilized peo-
pie reminds me of a night 1 spent at
a Filipino club" writes Charles L.
Jewatt, Of New Albany in an exchange.
I was invited to attend the opening
of the club. l had not been in Manila
long, and everything was new to me.
Out of curiosity l accepted the invita-
ton, and went TO the function in my
everyday buds, not dreaming but that
it would be a very rude and coarse, II
not comical, affair. Well, L want TO
tell you that l was completely sur
prised. The guests drove up in carri-
ages, and the men We're all attired in
black clothes and white ties, and a
good many were in full dress attire,
And, by George. if it isn't a fact that
several OF them carried crush opera
hats. I was the poorest dressed man
in the LOT, but they all treated me
with the greatest consideration, and
found them a polite and cultivated set
of people. Of course. they were the
cream OF the Filipinos but the fact
that the race can evolve such creditable
opponents shows that as a people they
are capable Of development.
