NO PEACE IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
THE INSURGENTS HAVE
AGAIN BECOME AG-
GRESSIVE.

proach of the wet season fnds the
insurrection seemingly taking new
lease on life. ALL along the American
lines the rebels are showing more
aggressive activity, in their guerrilla
style, than at any time since the fall
of Malalos
They keep the United States troops
in the trenches, sleeping in their
clothes and constantly on the alert
against dashes upon our outposts and
they make life warm for the Ameri
can garrisons in the towns.
The bands of Gen. Luna and Gen
Mascardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between Gen Macarthur
and Gen. Lawton, have returned in
force to their old trenches around
San Fernando where there are daily
collisions
Opposite our lines on the south
protecting Manila, all the way around
San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have
three rows of trenches most of the
distance
Reports from prisoners indicate
that the insurgents construe the
peace negotiations to mean that 'he
Americans have had enough of fight
ing The Filipinos are also encour,
aged by the belief that the Americans
are preparing for an interval of mac

This period is sure to be followed
by much suffering Thousands Of
acres that were under cultivation last
year have not been plowed this year,
aud the government will probably 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
inaurrection into the country where
the passage Of the two armies has
left no food, and practically throwing
themselves upon the charity of their
coDquerors. Such able bodied men
as are not in the Filipino ranks have
been kept by the insurgent leaders to
dig trenches, and old men, women
and chill dren form the mass of the
refugees These are doing some

with hunger before they can realize

Music and Madness.

From the st. Louis Republic.
DR.. William J. OSullivan, whose
name does not indicate he is of Teuton
extraction. though he, has the reputa-
ton of being an insanity expert, con-
tributes an article to the New York
the question: Was Wagner Musical
Lunatic?" Wagnerians all over the
country will naturally feel interested in
some of the views advanced by DR..
O'Sullivan-himself of a melodous race
although these views may reflect
upon their favorite composers sanity
and incidentally on their own. He
takes the broad ground that there are
all the characteristics of an unbalanced
mentality in the Wagner music-that
1t is not only crazy ITSELF but tends to
make lunaticcs of all who listen to it.
The expert points out that many per-
sons who profess to interpret and ad-
mire Wagner assume lofty airs of mu-
steal superiority. He infers slat this
circumstance IN itself is an indication
of insanity. He says that, Whereas
there is a brigade of musicians detained
in German madhuuses, every last man
Of them. when questioned on that point

admirer of Wagner"
1t would be unnatural to expect mem
bers of the Wagner club to agree with
Dr.. O'Sullivan. 1t will not be disap-
pointing if many of them fly into such
print as may be accessible and de-
nounce him and his structures in harsh
language and with heated epi;hets

lack the quality of mind that enables
them to understand the music of the
"Nibelungenlied" and "Gotterdammer-

and that the people who admire him
are electioneering for straight jackets

ingly at the Doctors contention. II
