Manila, April 5. 9:35 a. nl.-The insur-
gents are massing strong forces north
Of Calumpit, about five and one-half
miles northwest of Malolos, and accord
ing to the observations of the recon-
noitering parties, they have fine In
trenchments there.
1t is expected that hard fighting will
be necessary to dislodge them at that
point and at San Fernando, where
Aguinaldo is supposed to be. Large
rivers strengthen both positions. The
Montana regiment had one man killed
and three wounded yesterday. Twen-
ty-fve men were prostrated by the
heat and brought to the hospital.
Two new big Krupp guns. one six
inch and the other eight-inch, which
were found buried at Malolos, will be
mounted.
The Americans have also found 27,00C

Its Only Strength in Few Provinces
Around Manila.

Around Manila.
Washington April I'm acc.rda nee
with the expectation OF ,he state ,.e-
partment, The Pa. pp!nes commission
has now resumed full activity. The de-
partment was notified to-day by a ca
blegram from Mr.. Schurman, president
of the Philippine commission. that the
expected proclamation would be issued
to-day. He stated that the document
would be about 1,5O0 words in length.
DR.. Schurman says that after a
months personal observations and in
terviews with different classes of peo-
pie he finds that the insurrection had
it's origin and strength in the Tagalo
provinces around Manila. The remain
ing provinces of North and South Luzon
are peopled by different races, and the
rest of the archipelago are not natural
allies of the Tagalos. In the months
while the treaty of peace was being ne
gotiated at Paris, the Tagalos sent
detachments of from so to 200 men to
all the other provinces to seize the gov
ernments as robbers hold up trains. The
liberty of the populations was con-
strained, supremacy was enforced as
there We're no American forces present
to eXpel the Tagalos. He says the re-
cent victories have had a good effect
everywhere. With a growth of gen
eral feeling of security the population
will doubtless declare for the United
States. The Philippine people. says DR..
Schurman. "seem discouraged by the
valorous. swift and irresistible move
ments of the American troops, against
which their elaborate defensive works
were useless"

THE Paulist fathers actions prior
to the fall of Manila were suspicious.
Now. in conjunction with Archbishop
Nozaledas, who is intimate with Cen
eral Otis, they are endeavorng to pro-
cure the former ascendency of the
church in the Philippines. hence they
are sustaining General Otis, who, as
a Catholic. has refused to obey the
Washington orders and transfer the
command of his forces to General Law

Paulist policy is more subtle than that
of the Jesuits and unless they are
promptly recalled they will work mis-

the titanic efforts to maintain it's su-
premacy."

Kansas CITY, Kan, Democratic,

Kansas City, April AT midnight
the result of to-day's election in Kansas
City, Kan, is largely in doubt, but the
indications are that the normal repub-
lican plurality Of about 1000 has lee n
overcome and that Mayor Marsnman,
the republican candidate, has been de-
feated for reelection by Bucholter,
the democratic candidate, by a
narrow plurality. The republicans
will still control the council. The dem
ocrats probably have elected two of
the three police commissioners. The
weather WAS very sloppy under foot,
and of the 5000 women who registered
only about 1000 went to the polls.
