HIGHER INSURANCE RATES
LOSSES HAVE BEEN so GREAT THAT MA
RINE UNDERWRITERS CONTEMPLATE
A GENERAL ADVANCE.


1t was reported yesterday that a movement is on
foot among marine insurance underwriters to in
crease the rates of insurance on vessels and their
cargoes. 1t is said that in instances rates
have already been put up. The explanation given
for the advance is that the companies have lost
so heavily in the last few years that they cannot
afford to take any more such chances. 1t is also
said that shpowners and exporters willing to
accept that explanation and will make no protest
in case there is general advance in the rates

winter and spring of 1888 80 would prove disastrous
Beginning with November, 1898. and continuing
through until May. 1892 when the American liner
Paris stranded, the insurance losses were APP
palling. According to Mr.. Raven. of the Phoenix
Mutual Insurance Company, the catastrophies at
in that period involved claims of at least $1,000
900 among the various insurance companies. Many
of the losses to steamships and cargoes were total

No concerted action has yet been taken by the

been under discussion for several weeks Sucn
step is, however, contemplated.

In fact something Of this sort will have TO be done
However no decisive action has yet been taken by
the American companies. The English companies
operate on a different basis, and should not be
surprised to hear that they have agreed upon
uniform advance"

THE AMEER REASSURES ENGLAND.
ALWAYS READY TO FIGHT FOR HER
AGAINST RUSSIA

London, March 8. 5:42 p. m-The Ameer Of
Afghanstan has authorized his agent In Lon
don to publish a statement of the policy of AT
ghanstan toward Great Britain and Russia Af-
ter saying that, he had devoted much anxious
thought to the possibility of Russia taking ad-
vantage of the Transvaal war; and advancing
through Afghanstan India, the Ameer adds
1 have come to the conclusion that Russia
feared Afghanistan. with the Afghans
would mean a general rising of all Islam, which
would spread through Russian Asia. Russia
has not troops enough TO combat such a rising.
Her hold the Mussulman countries she has
conquered is insecure. They hate her. and with
ten times her power Russia could not fight At
ghanistan and India successfully. The Afghans
prefer death TO slavery, and their women and
children being taken by the Russians.
After saying he is willing to send numerous
troops to help Great Britain in the Transvaal
but adding that the Afghans unaccustomed
to the the Ameer says:
But Englands troubles always my trou-
bles, her strength is my strength and her weak
ness is my weakness. England must remember
that I am always ready to fight for her on land
here in India.
The Ameer next refers TO letter from the
Indian Government reminding him that he had
been faithful for twenty years and advising
trenchment in purchases of arms, as otherwise
Parliament might become suspicious. and takes
strong exceptions to such suspicious, saying it
was necessary to keep the country strong
enough to resist d Russian advance.
The Ameer concluded with hkening the Brit
ish Parliament to Cabul Turkish baths. which
reverberated with a babel of calls for towels
soap, etc, and loud voiced conversation, until
the meaning of individual words, and the
words themselves became lost in the confusion
of sounds and only increased the general up

REBEL BANDS ACTIVE.
AMERICAN REGIMENTS IN LUZON KEPT
BUSY AND LOSE SOME MEN.

Manila, March 9.-Generals Young and Hood
asking for reinforcements, and a battalion Of
the 4Sth Regiment has been sent to Aparri
Other troops will follow. The rebels recently
persistently attacked APART for several hours,
but were finally driven away. Details of the
affair are lacking.
The rebels are holding reunions in the prov

cross symbolic Of resistance. is again appearing
among the natives.
1t is believed that the insurgent Generals
Tinio and Flores have been driven by General
Young into General Hoods district, south of
Aparri.
The fact that General Young is unable owing
to lack Of troops. to maintain garrisons in all
the towns occupied has had bad effect the
natives.
General Bates has returned here after leaving
garrisons in the provinces Of North and South
Camarines. The expedition lost seven men
killed and ten wounded On entering New
Caceres province of South Camarines, General
Bates learned that two thousand insurgents had
departed the same day. The Americans imme-
diatey sent out three pursuing columns, en-
countering the enemy in three small engage
ments and killing total OF forty men
The Spanish prisoners report that the enemy
has divided into small bands in the mountains
under the leadership of General Legaspi. The
town of Irga has been burned by the enemy.
Both provinces thoroughly secuted. The
inhabitants of the district Of Libmanan includ-
ing Abela, the Provincial Governor, and other
officials returning to their homes Abella
has issued a proclamation calling upon the
natives to submit to the Americans.
Liberated priests from New -Caceres report
that the insurgents killed sixty-eight Cinnamon
and forty Spaniards at the town OF Calabanga.
1t is estimated that there are a hundred thou
sand bales of hemp in the Camarines Provinces.
Twelve hundred well armed insurgents form
erly Of Cavite Province, with Chinese general
in command, surround the towns of Albay and
Legasp. They have effected three night attacks
and continually harass the 47th Regiment
