Washington, Aug. G.-Oficals of the
weather bureau are not abe To predict the
extent 10 which the cyclone reported south

FILIPIN0S ARE TREACHEROUS.
NO SINCERITY IN EXPRESSIONS OF
FRIENDSHIP.

Mayors of Two Towns Chosen Under
American Rule Are in Jail for Aid

Insurgcnts-one of Them Used His

Manila, Aug. %, via Hong Kong, Aug.
H-Recent events have proved somewhat
discouraging to officials who are trying
to accompany war with a policy of con-
ciliation.
Two new municipal governments have
collapsed through the treachery of the
Mayors. To-day the Mayor of San Pedro
Macati, who was elected by the people
under the direction of Prof Dean Wor-
cester of the United States advisory COM
mission of the Philippines, was brought
TO Manila and lodged in jail. The United
States officers at San Pedro Macau found
that he was using his office as a recruit
ing station for the Philippine army. Four
disguised insurgent officers were helping
him.
The Mayor of Baliuag was also arrest
ed and confined in the same prison. The
Americans caught him passing between
the lines of the two armies with incrimi
mating documents which the authorities
secured. Another prominent native Mayor
is under surveillance.
When the result of the election at linus.
which Gen. Lawton and Prof. Worcester
engineered, was announced. the Ameri-
cans inquired as TO the Whereabouts of the
peoples choice and were informed that
he was in prison at Bnbid, where the au-
thorites had placed him on suspicion of
being a reVoludon,st. lie was released and
Installed as Mayor.

Such events and conditions tend 10 give
color to the assertions of foreign residents

insist that a great majority of the natives
