FIGHTING IN PANAY.
Insurgent Demonstrations Against IL
IlO-Activity in Cavite Province.

Insurgent Demonstrations Against Ilo
Ilo-Activity in Cavite Province.
Manila, Oct. 26.-Ilo Ilo is stirred
by the expectation of important fight
ing. General Pulloin began "unrolling
the bloody SCROLL" as he promised his
followers in recent speech, by firing
volleys at the American outposts night
ly. This activity is designed to divert
the Visayans from their dissatisfaction
against the Tagals. Aguinaldo has or
dered the release on parole of Areneta
and other Visayan leaders, who were
disposed to negotiate for peace, and Is
watching them to prevent further nego-
tiations.
The Fourth infantry reconnoitered
about linus and found that the insur-
gents had returned to Dasimarianas.
Their bugles blew when the Ameri-
cans approached. 1t is reported they
are reorganizing at Malabon and other
towns. The leading inhabitants in
that section have requested General
Otis to garrison the towns, because the
insurgents are living off the people.
Otis has prohibited the local papers
from printing the arrivals, departures
or any movements of troops. Agui-
naldo, if he is q student of Manila pa
pers, has been kept posted as to the
whereabouts of every company in the
army.
The news that the Spaniards at
tempted to surrender the rebel artillery
at Santa Rosa has reached Tarlac, and
has spread through the country. The
Filipinos are taking vengeance on the
prisoners by curtailng the few privi-
leges they had.

New Proposition for Settlement Of
Alaska Boundary Dispute.
London, Oct. 2e.-Canada's final
proposition for the permanent settle
ment of the Alaskan dispute Is as fol-
lows:
'That the boundary line be arbi-
trated upon terms similar to those i'm.
posed by the United States and Great
Britain over Venezuela, particularly
those provisions making 30 years. oc.
cupancy conclusive evidence of title,
occupancy of less than that period to be
taken in equity under international
law. That as the condition is pre-
cedent absolutely preliminary to arbi-
tration, Skagway and Dyea would be
conceded to the United States without
further claims if Canada received Pyr-
amid harobr."
In other words, Canada gives up
much of the disputed gold country in
return for seaport, hut stipulates that
she must get the latter before she
agrees to arbitrate the boundary line.

Hard Fighting Certain.


The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail telegraphing at 9:45 P. M.
yesterday, says:
General Yule has performed bril-
liant strategical movement. By swift
march to the south, leaving Glencoe
empty, he has effected a junction of his
forces with those of Sir George Stewart
White, slightly to the north of Lady
smith. The two are now in position
to offer battle. believe the first attack
will be made on the large Free State
force which entered Natal by way of
Tintwa Pass, and which has since been
harrassing Ladysmith. The military
authorities decided that by joining
their forces the two generals would be
better able to cope with one large force
at time than by having two small de-
tachments to oppose simultaneously two
big Boer forces. Accordingly, after de-
feating the Free State troops, they will
offer battle to General
Joubert. Only 40 miles now separate
the two Boer forces. Hence the need
for swift and telling action.
''The two sections of the Boer army
together outnumber tho entire British
force three to one. Hard fighting is cer-
tain at very early date. Our men
are confident, and there is much en-
thusiasm. The fighting today outside
of Ladysmith was q mere brush."

Russia and France May Take a Han

Russia and France May Take Hand.
London, Oct. 25.-Sensational Su-
mors of the designs of foreign powers
inimical to British interests, meet with
scant credence, though it is admittedly
difficult to explain the immense force
on land which Great Britain is now
mobilizing. In Vienna, it is reported
the British naval movements are due
to 9 rumor that Russia, with the
assent of France, is about to acquire
from Spain Ceuta, or some other naval
station on the African coast.
Elsewhere it is stated the movements
of the French Mediterranean feet in
the neighborhood of the Levant, where
it could easily be joined by the Russia
Black sea feet, via the Straits of Dar-
danelles, is occasioning suspicion.
