THE PHILIPPINE WAR
Continues to Drag Its slow Length
AIeng, With Losses to Both Sides.

MANILA, December 16.-Adv1ces
from Iloilo, island Of Panay, reports
that the American troops have been
moving northward and westward for
several days and that detachments of
the Sixth, Eighteenth and Twenty
sixth regiments have been active near
their stations. The insurgent losses
during the last ten days there Rave
been FIVE killed, several wounded and
forty taken prisoners. The Americans
have lost two killed and three wound
ed. Large numbers of the natives, how
ever, are swearing allegiance to the
United States.
In various recent attacks and expe-
ditions in southern Luzon, the insur-
gents have lost eight killed, seven
wounded and about twenty captured.
The Americans have lost one killed
and two wounded.
Gen. Wheaton reports that 430 ma
tives have entered Calanao for regis
tration.
Most of the time of the Philippine
commission is now devoted to the tar
if bill. Judge Taft said to-day that
generally speaking, the new rates
would be about forty per cent. of the
existing rates.
1T will be essentially tariff for
revenue" he remarked, "but some in
dustries that are already established
will be given protection. The commits
sion is not considering the question of
the constitutionality of taxing United
States products. The precedcnts have
been established in the case of Porto
Rico and by the military government
of the Philippines.
The bill requires the washing Of
cotton goods so as to eliminate the
clay used by European manufacturers,
which increases the weight. This will
incidentally favor American goods. The
rate on kerosene will be reduced from
eleven cents a gallon to four. Some
American goods will be admitted free
and almost all will come in at reduced
iigures'

OF the Joint Note to China Demanded
by England.
PEKIN, Dec. 16.-Definite instruc-
tions, supplementing yesterdays COM
Dlunication from Lnodon, have been
received by Sir Ernest Mason Satow,
the British minister, and he now de-
mands a modification of point in the
joint note which the foreign ENJOYS
generally regard as important. This
means further delay, as all the minis
tiers must communicate anew with their
respective governments. Just what
is the nature of the objection raised
by Great Britain. the ministers de-
cline to say, but they admit that the
new demand will involve a good deal
more diplomatic procedure.
