" MANILA, March 19.-Gcaeral Otis con.
siders Manila tho most troublesome
center i'll the situation today. The i'll
surgent junta here, III conjunction with
that in Hong Kong, is growing active.
Military authorities have been forced to
put a stop to lAahini's intercourse with
the public. Flores, who hns jast ar
rived here, says he comes TRUSTING to
American leniency and that he would
not, have dared come to Manila it Spain
were yet in control. He cherishcs the
hopes and aspirations which actuated
him when i'll tho field and desires to
watch congressional action upon the
question Of the Philippines. The insur-
gents. he says, do not expect to vanquish
the Americans, but are maintaining q
resistance with the idea Of forcing con-
gress to accord them the best possible
terms.
A number of representative insurgent
leaders from different parts of Luzon
have recently been in conference in
Manila. Some have been placed under
arrest but the others thus far have not
been ipterfered with.

ity that three loads Of arms and ammu'
milton have recently been landed on the
,east coast Of Luzon. Captain Taylor Of
Fthe Thirty-ninth regiment recently cap

Reports are current here Of active
rebel reorganization in the province Of
Morong, where the insurgent leaders
are said to be assisted by prominent
Spanish residents. Inhabitants Of this
province who are now in Manila have
been advised not to return to their
homes, but to remain under the protec.
tion of the Americans.
It is also reported that the rebels are
reorganizing in the province of Fam
bales, under Mascardo. The Nueva
Eciga insurgents are heavily taxing
local traders and farmers, with the re-
!, cult that business is paralyzed and there
Is a general scarcity Of food.
Rebels Collect Funds in Manila.
The funds for maintaining this guer
rilla warfare are collected from the
various towns of the island, whether
occupied by the Americans or not, in
cluding Manila. In the province o1
Albay the insurgents have ceased har
RAISING the Americans, owing, it is re-
ported, to q lack OF ammunition, bu'
they continue ravaging the country by
burning or looting. The natives arr
firing of this sort Of thing aud threate1
to turn against the marauders. Already
the townspeople Of Legaspi, Albay ant
Dobsol are slowly returning to theil
homes.
Evidence accnnulates Of the treason
and lerfidy Of the municipality official
in General MacA-thur's district. Ofi
cials Of several towns Of Lepa1 ant
Lnpto provinces have declined 10 con
tnue in office, saying that they do no
desire any further connection with th'
Americans. Travel between the town
il becoming more dangerous. Allwago,
trains must be escorted by heavy guart
in order to insure their safety.
