MOVEMENTS AROUND ILOILO.
Company Charged Trenches of the
Insurgents.

Manila, Nov. 15.-Gen. Hughes. with
parts of the Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth
Regiments, moved from Iloilo Thursday,
Nov. 9. to Otton, six miles west for the
purpose of capturing Santa Barbara, the
rebel stronghold, ten miles north of Iloilo.
Heavy rains preceded the movement, and
the roads We're, in places, impossible. The
same night Col Carpenter, with the
Eighteenth Regiment and Battery G of
the Sixth Artillery, moved westerly from
Jaro to connect with Gen. Hughes.
Col Carpenter was forced to return 10
Jaro on account of the roads, and the en-
tire movement was hampered by lack of
proper transportation.
Company of the Twenty-sixth Regi-
ment had the only fighting. When three
miles out of Jaro this company charged
the rebel trenches and three of the enemy
were killed One American was wounded.
Gen. Hughes, Nov. u, occupied Tagba-
nan and Guimbal, on the southern coast,
and also Cordova, in the interior. The en-
envy did not oppose Gen. Hughes advance.
Recent orders from Aguinaldo found in
the trenches said:
DO not oppose the American advance.
Burn the villages as they are evacuated.
Divide the forces into bands of forty.
Harrass the enemy on every occasion"
Araneta, the rebel leader of the island
of Panay, was captured at Tagbanan
while attempting to pass the lines into
Iloio.
Two battaIions of the Twenty-sixth will
garrison Iloilo and Jaro.
San Miguel, visible from Iloilo, has been
burned by the rebels.
1t is reported thai an expedition, evad-
ing the navy, recently landed arms and
ammunition on the antique coast and that
the rebels threaten opposition with an
armed force of 5000 men. These stories are
not believed.
All ports of the sulu Islands outside of
the American possessions, have been or
dered closed to commerce.

INSURGENTS BLOODY WORK.
MAGISTRATES A LARGE ARMY IN
THE PHILIPPINES.

Commissioner Worcester Says Two
Regiments Could Do the Work, Hut
the Idea Is TO Subjugate the Fill
pinOs with the Smallest Possible
Loss of Life-Troops Must RemRin
Until Resistance Ceases and Con-
fidence Is Restored.
Chicago, Nov. 15.-Dean c. Worcester,
member of the Philippine Commission.
spoke at Genital Music Hall tonight upon
the Philippine question.
The address, which was delivered under
the auspices of the Hamilton cub, local
Republican organization, was received
with every manifestation Of approval. Mr..
Worcester followed in the main the line
Of the argument regarding the retention of
the PHILIPPINES which has been published
In the rel ort of The Philippine COMMISSION
There was a large aud .ence.
As showing the bloody work of the in
surgents, Prof Worcester said:
"At the time l left Manila the province
of Batabagas was overrun with thieves
and murderers. No attempt was being
made to enforce law and order. The pub
lie schools were abandoned Forced con-
tributions had been wrung from the peo-
pie at the bayonet point until many OF
them were ruined. Unwilling contributors
had been punished by having their hands
hacked off, and even by being buried alive.
The individual houses in such import
ant towns as Taal were intrenched in or
der that the inhabitants might defend
themselves against their neighbors The
military governor of the province, al
though a Tagalog and an insurgent, had
characterized the condition existing as
complete anarchy" and had repeatedly
sent in secret to Manila asking for aid
to restore order, and promising to sur
render with his troops if we would only
dispatch a small force to his aid"
He proceeded:
u hear it said if only a small fraction
of the Philippine population is in arms
against us, and if the great majority of
the people are ready to accept American
sovereignty why is it that we are com
PEELED to send a great army to the ISLANDS
l answer, first, because we are waging the
most humane war in history. If il wera
simply a matter of killing we should not
need so large an army. Two regiments
of troops could go where they chose in the
Island of Luzon to-day and kill to their
hearts content without serious risk 1t
is because we are attempting to protect the
peaceable inhabitants from the depreda-
tons of the lawless, that we require so
large a force.
"Finally word as to the way out. II
is inconceivable that we should withdraw
our troops, abandoning our friends to the
certain vengeance of our enemies and the
people at large, to civil war and utter an
archy There can be but one answer to
this question. Our troops must stay until
armed resistance has ceased and public
confidence has been fully restored The
day will come sooner or later, when ma
tive soldiers, under American officers, or
under officers of their own will do large
share of the work that remains to be done.
I'm the matter of autonomy we have
already made safe beginning, and the
experiment in municipal and provincial
governments which are even now in prog
ress, will eventually furnish safe basis
for congressional action"

SCOTT-HAYES BOND CLAIM.
1t Is Again Being Pressed Before
the Legislature.

Atlanta, Nov. 15.-Each succeeding leg
islature for the past twenty-five years has
wrestled with the demand for payment of
the scott-Hayes bonds of the state, and
again the claim is being pressed before
this general assembly.
Judge C. C. Kibbee of Hawkinsville APP
peared before the Appropriation Commit
tee this afternoon and urged favorable
report on the claim. The bill for the pay
ment of the Scott bonds was Withdrawn,
as the subcommittee headed by MIR.

cured enough facts to warrant the sus-
picion that these bonds were a batch Of
those sold by the New York brokers, Null
Ter & Co., for Henry Clews & Co., which
the Legislature repudiated in the early
'70's because they We're illegally sold
Judge Kibbee has been pressing these
claims for nearly quarter of a century
with the exception of an interval when he
was on the Superior Court bench. Chief
Justice Simmons was first engaged to push
the claims. and he associated Judge Kib-
bee with him and they pushed the demand
cOnjointly until judge Simmons went on
The bench.
of the Hayes bonds there is no question
as to validity, the only doubt being as to
whether they have been paid or not.
Messrs. Laing g. Blalock believe they are
included in the C%eBs bonds. Mr.. Han, of
Bib, thought there was not enough evil
dence 10 set up the def nse of payment,
and that the committee should pass upon
the claim the same as a jury would. The
committee will investigate further before
making its final port.
DR.. Watkins O. Gilmer went before the
Pension Committee this afternoon in advo-
cacy of his measure to pension all Confed-
crate veterans The committee reported
il adversely.
