HAWAIIAN RACE DECREASING.
President Dole Writes of Race Conditions
on the Isiand-He Says Annexation
Will Help the Natives.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The descrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less for the past several
decades, according to the annual re-
port of ex-President Sanford b. Dole,
governor of Hawaii. The increase of
part Hawaiians tends to keep down
the number of the pure Hawaiians.
The eX-president reports that there
rs reason to expect that annexation
as going to influence Hawaiian char
0acter very favorabbly through the
changed conditions effected. The po-
iitical privileges they enjoy in COM
mon, he says, with other American
citizens will tend to educate them in
public affairs.

WILL BE FEW CHANGES.
Postmasters Who Have Given Satisfaction
In the Past ReASOnably Certain to
Hold Their Positions.

Washington, Nov. 2o,-Speaking OF
applications for post Offices, ques-
ton of great interest to be decided
after March will be whether the
present republicans will be continued
in Office It is safe to assume that
few changes will be made, excepting
for cause This can be stated, with
confidence, by anyone familiar with
the operations of the department.
1t will be great disappointment
to hundreds of thousands of repub-
licans in the various states who
hoped to get into Office under the
administration of the next four years.
There are some $4,000 post Offices,
and the current work of the depart
ment, filling changes caused by deaths
and designations, is very heavy. The
post office department officials would
not unnecessarily undertake the enor-
nous work of making anything like
wholesale changes.

WANTS A NEW PARTY.
George f. Washburn. OF Massachusetts, Is
sues an Address to the "Ref0rm Forces
of the Country" for Early Conferences.

Boston, Nov. 2O.-An address head
ed to the reform Forces of the
Country" has been issued by George
F. Washburn, president of the Bryan
club of Massachusetts, and the ma
tional committeeman of the peoples
party, in which he says in part:
cit is beyond the range of human
probability that Bryan will again be-
come the candidate of the democratic
party. But he can lead to victory a
new party conducted on safe and con-
sentative, yet progressive lines. There
fore, to maintain our present momen-
tum a new party must be formed.
This can be accomplished by uniting
the Bryan democrats, Bryan republic
cans, populists and other smaller
bodies to be led by the man of the
hour, whoever he may be. Accord
ngly, propose that at an early date
we have conference of the parties
referred to in the central part of the
country"

TO SHOW NO MERCY.
War In the Philippines-Wm Use
Harsher Means.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Forbearance
has ceased to be military virtue in
the Philippines, according to news
that comes from the war department.
Lord Kitchener's plan of operation in
South Africa, harsh though it appears
to be, appeals to the officials of the
war department., and during the COM
ing campaign in the Philippines no
mercy is to be extended to those in
active rebellion or who give aid and
comfort to the insurgents. The ad-
ministration has become very weary
of the long drawn out war. It has
been conciliatory in dealing with the
insurgents, and the efforts to accom-
plish peace by this means have met
with contempt.

REBELS HOLD An island.
Filipinos Under Gen. Lukban Have
Almost Undisputed Sway Of Sa-
mar, Southeast Of Luzon.
GRANTS BRUSH WITH the ENEMY.
Notable Among Recent engagements Was
Hia Advance with Scouts = Rebel
Stronghold North OF Manila-After .
Prolonged Fight the Americans Won
and Immense Amount of Stores Taken.

Manila, Nov. 2O.-Last week wit
messed a very considerable increase in
rebel and American activity in the
field. Many skirmishes and many
small engagements occurred in north
ern and southern Luzon. The ter
mination of the rains permits re-
sumption of operations on both sides.
The Americans are undertaking a SEE
ries of aggressive movements against
the insurgents, notably on the island
of Samar, against Gen. Lukban, whose
forces hold the island with the excep-
ton of three coast towns, each gar
risoned by two companies of the Nine
teenth infantry and platoon of ar
tillery. Gen. Hare has 1,5OO prison
ers on small island off of Santa
Cruz. Commerce in Samar has been
at standstill and most of the influ-
entail inhabitants have departed.
Gen. Hare has arrived there with $50
men. He will bring eight companies
of the Second infantry from the island
of Marinduque-as they may be need
ed-and will proceed energetically to
crush Gen. Lukban. Meanwhile, Unit
ed States gunboats will patrol the
coast to prevent the escape of the in
surgent leader.
Notable among the weeks engage
ments was Gen. Grants advance with
rebel stronghold, IS miles north of
Manila, which was defended by 200
insurgents, armed with rifles. After
skirmishing and fighting for the
greater part of the day and night,
the enemy were dislodged from their
mountain fastness, and immense guam
titles of rice and stores, with ammu-
milton, were destroyed. Fifty Filipi-
nos were killed and many others
wounded. The insurgents carried off
their dead. The American losses were
II privates and one officer wounded
and one Macabebe killed.
Lieut. Frederick w. Alstaeter, of
the engineers, who was captured by
the insurgents in Luzon last Septem-
Der, has sent, with the permission of
his captors, a letter to Manila asking
for food, money and clothing, which
will be forwarded to him by native
runner. His health is broken and his
release is problematical.
Gen. Wheaton, commanding in the
department of northern Luzon, is
sending reinforcements to Gen.
Young's provinces, where the natives
under Gen. Tinio and Aglipay-the
latter an communicated Filipino
priest-are showing signs of restless
ness, DESERVING the domiciles that
they had occupied during the rainy
season and joining, under compulsion
of fear, the insurgents in the noun
tainS.
Although news and commercial
messages between Manila and points
in America and Europe are not sub
ject to censorship, all messages be-
tween the Philippines and the orient
are censored as heretofore.
