sent in an encouraging report. He says
the islanu of Negros is now more peaceful
and orderly than for twenty years. The
planters are pursuing their business un-
disturbed by the bands of brigands who
had long levied tribute on them. The
Americans have scattered the brigands
and propose to pursue them until they
are effectually suppressed.

nautuan, north of San Isidro, yesterday
morning. Colonel Parker, with two troops
of the Fourth Cavalry, took possession
of the deserted town of Aliaza.
Captain Batson captured telegraph
operator and his escort. finding tele-
gram to Aguinaldo from an insurgent
colonel reporting that General Lawton
was killed in a recent fight and that his
body had been sent to Manila. The oper-
ator said that 900 insurgents were ap-
preaching Aliaza from Tarlac. Batson
placed his scouts in ambush awaiting
them. Colonel Hayes, with four troops
of the Fourth Cavalry, charged the towns
of Talvarera and Cobal, dispensing $50
miles without any loss The Americans
captured two brass cannon and a guam
tity of ammunition, including many
Hotchkiss shells. Captain Batson took
storehOuse and ,ntities of rice, sugar,
corn and forty bull carts.
The steamer Lebuan of Hongkong, 500
tons, with a prize crew from the United
States gunboat Castine on board, has ar
rived here. She was captured while run
ming the blockade off Zamboanga She
had unloaded her cargo of merchandise.
All signs show that General Youngs
rapid advance is demoralizing the insur-
gents northward Prisoners report them
to be fleeing to the hills. There are many
deserters and sick men and the former
are taking their arms to the Americans.
The cayalry's rapid movements are
puzzle to the insurgents, who think that
the Americans in striking in so many
places must have overwhelming forces.
Aguinaldo is personally conducting the
campaign. He is asking the people for
rice and is trying to replenish the army
with recruits, but without success.

WILLIAMS DETERMINATION.
German Emperor Will Dissolve the
ReichstnH II Naval Bill Fails.

Berlin, Dec. 12.-The reichstag pre-
sented highly impressive spectacle
yesterday during the debate on the
estimates and the formal introduction
OF Emperor Williams new naval pro-
gram. When Count Won Buelow de-
clared that Germany did not desire to
pursue an aggressive. pyrotechnical
course, but was equally determined
not to be pushed aside politically or
commercially by other powers. and
never to allow an important interna-
tional question to be settled without
consulting her, there was an outbreak
Of spontaneous applause.
The opposition, which is apparently
stronger that had been expected. was
dumbfounded by the vigorous govern
ment onslaught. After the adjourn
ment It was said in the lobby that the
emperor had given strict orders for
the dissolution OF the reichstag should
the cabinet consider It unlikely that
the bill would pass. Emperor Will
lam is confident that the proposal to
increase the strength Of the navy is
popular with the electorate, and he be-
lieves that the new reichstag would
probably reflect this sentiment and
other national aims more accurately.

CHAPTER XII.

Righteousness shall go before him and shall Get
us in the WY Of his steps.
The bishop was not in the habit Of
carrying much money with him, and
the man with the stake, who was
searching him, uttered an oath at the
small amount of change he found. As
he uttered it the man with the pistol
savagely said: Jerk out his watch
We might as well get all we can out of
the job
The man with the stake was on the
point of laying hold of the chain when
there was the sound of footsteps coming
toward them.
"Get behind the fence! We haven
half searched him yet. Mind you keep
shut now if You don't want
The man with the pistol made sig
nifcant gesture with it, and his COM
panion pulled and pushed the bishop
down the alley and through ragged
broken opening in the fence. The three
stood still there in the shadow until the
footsteps passed.
"Now, then, have you got the
watch ?" asked the man with the pistol.
"No; the chain is caught some
wherel" And the other man swore
again.
"Break it. then"
"No; don't break II" the bishop
said, and it was the first time he had
spoken. "The chain is the gift of a
very dear friend. should be sorry to
have it broken"
At the sound Of the bishops voice
the man with the pistol started as if he
had been suddenly shot by his own
weapon. With quick movement Of his
other hand he turned the bishops head
toward what little light was shining
from the alleyway. at the same time
taking a step nearer. Then. to the evil
dent amazement of his companion. he
said roughly:
"Leave the watch alone. We've got
the money That's enough"
''Enoughl Fifty centsl You don't

say another word he was confronted
with the muzzle of the pistol. turned
from the bishops head toward his own

to hold up if'-
