The situation in the Philippines has
not improved. Gen. YOU'VE who stated
a few days ago that ne had his hand al
most upon Gen. AeUINALDo's coat
tails now announces that he has aban-
dOned the chase. The whereabouts of
the moving insurgent capital is un-
known and Gen. OTIs does not know
which way to go to capture it.
Although he announces that the in
asurrection was ended during the first
week in this month, still there are any
whsre from three to seven thousand
Spanish prisoners in the hands OF the
lighting FiIipinos. Lieutenant GIL
MORE is also in their hands.
The expense of maintaining the fleet
at Manila, and the army in the islands
is estimated to be about one million
dollars per day. The War Department
has submitted an urgency deficiency
bill asking for fifty one million dollars
at once.
The increase of taxation is not far
on, and the groRns OF sufferers will
soon be heard throughout the land.

by any one in either place. Cecil
Rhodes's hos asst. that he is IS safe as he
would be in Piceadilly, 10 said to be
literally true by those who know how
strong the Diamond Capital il In armed
men and natural defences. / think it
more than likely THAT the imprisoned
folks in both these places are more
anxious about Lad Fsmith in Natal than
they are about their own fortunes, for
the native runners keep them inform
ed and they know what we are al ex-
pectiDg to hear OF q third great battle
IN Natal, where the rocky hills provide
the lighting ground which the Beers
love-not best, "a 1 was going to say,
but exclusively for any other sort OF
battle-ground they abominate sad
sheer as clear OF as they can"
He states remarkable fact as fol-
lows:
THE native runners OF whom speak
are the Kst1irs on this side, and Rasu-
tos and Zulus OF the east coast. Since
I have never heard OF such messengers
anywhere else. L think it probable that
they are the most wonderful OF the
kind in the world. They are capable
OF running almost as far as Gus Indians
who have been known to cover one
hundred miles in twenty-four hours
but It rs not by running that they do
either the most or the best OF their
work. This they do by shouting their
messages from hill to hill-a far speed
Ter medium OF communication than
leg-work. In previous wars between
the natives and either the British or
the Beers it often happened that the
nrst news OF notable engagements was

places. In this war the result OF the
battle of Glencoe reach Cape Town

erburdened telegraph wires brought ii

| always does, in the gossip of the Ne
groes among themselves. They do not
go to either the authorities or the
| newspapers with the information
which flies to their ears over half q
continent. White men overhear them
talking at their work and question
them. At first, when they heard the
Negroes say their news was ''cried" OF
'hollered" to them, they made light OF
1t; but to-day they value il as highly
as you may imagine when you know
shat 1T has never proved uutrustwor-
thy. The fret news of the battle OF
America came to Cape Town in this
way, and was forwarded on the cable
by an Englishman who did not dare ia
vouch for it because he had been bat
nine days IN Africa and did not know
the value OF runners stories.' The
reason why such stories are reliable ID
that whatever message is given by Q
native Negro is never altered by any
| one who forwards it, though 1t may be
passed along by two thousand men
The precise words that are uttered by
the hrst man are the identical ones
which the last one heavs White men
have often tested this by sending mes.
sages in this way, and no one has ever
known the message delivered to have
been exaggerated, diminished or altered
in the slightest degree"
Colored people in the United States
will no doubt be surprised. 1t shows
remarkable memory as well as q e.
deity to truthfulness which the white
men Of this country would do we'll to
