Manila, Nov. 20.-This is the first
uncensored news by cablegram since
the American occupation:
Last week witnessed a very consid-
cradle increase in rebel and American
activity. There was much skirmish-
ing and a few engagements In South
ern Luzon. The termination OF the
rains permits a resumption of opera
lions on both sides. The Americans
are undertaking a series OF aggressive
movements against the insurgents.
notably upon the Island of Samar,
against Gen. Lukban, whose forces
hold the entire island with h ex-
ceptioH of three coast towns, each OF
which is g%arrisoned by two companies
of the Twenty-ninth infantry and a
platoon OF artillery. The rebels are
continually shooting into the garri-
soned towns and our forces have not
been sufficient to retaliate effectively.
Commerce in Samar has been at a
standstill and many inhabitants have
departed. Gen. Hare has arrived there
with $50 men. He will bring eight
companies of the Twenty-fifth infan-
try from the Island Of Manadarque, as
they may be needed, and will proceed
theoretically to crush Gen. Lukban.
Meanwhile United States gunboats will
patrol the coast to
Prevent the Escape
of the insurgent leaders. Lukban still
holds three members of the Forty
third regiment prisoners. Gen. Whea-
ton. commanding in the department of,
Northern LuZon, is sending reinforce
ments to Gen. Young's provinces,
where the natives under Gen. Tinio
and Aglipia, the communicated Fill
pino priest. are showing signs of rest
l~essness, deserving the domiciles they
occupied during the rainy season
and joining under compulsion the
forces of the insurgents in the noun
tains. Notable among the weeks en-
gagements "a Gen. Grants advance
with Maccabebe and American scouts
upon a rebel stronghold thirty-five
miles north of Manila, which was de-
Tended by 200 insurgents armed with
rifles. After skirmishing and fighting
for the greater part of the day and
night the enemy was dislodged from
the mountain fastness and immense
quantities of rice and stores with am
munition were destroyed. Fifty Fill
pinos were killed and many others
wounded. The insurgents carried OFF
their dead. The American loss was
eleven privates and one officer
ded and n Maccabebe killed.

impossible to foretell. Events have

Cincinnati. Nov. 20. - United states
Rank Examiner Tucker yesterday took
nossession of the German National
Bank of Newport, KY, and posted a
notice that the bank would remain
closed pending an examination. Elk
aminer Tucker also that
Frank Brown, the individual DOCK
keeper and cashier, was missing anu

Brown had been with the bank eish-
teen years, was n OF the most trusted
men ever connected with this old DahK,
and 1t is stated by the experts that
his operations extended back as far
as ten years. The capital stock or the
bank is only 500, 600. Browns alleged
shortage is double that amount and
more than the reserve and all the as
sets, including their real estate. Fol-
two weeks there have been rumors
that Brown was short and some de-
positors withdrew their accounts.
Three weeks ago the bank examiners
made a good statement for the ban
and the officers and directors allayed
suspicion by referring to the report OF
this examination and to their last
statement. Last Wednesday Brown
left and 1t was announced that he had
gone hunting on a vacation. He did
get a ticket for Odin, H., but 1t is
learned now that he did not go there,
and 1t is generally believed that he

announcements hat everything was
all right. Last Friday the officers and
directors, over their own names pub
lished in the papers of this city a
statement that the bank had been
found to be all right and that the
rumors about Brown were false. They

Brown, it is alleged, was living a
fast life, with wine, women and gam
bling in his repertoire. His career
was not cut short by any discovery at
the bank until a jealous m gave
him away. Brown is a widower with
a son aged ten years who lives with
Browns father, Paris c.. Brown, ex-
mayor of Newport, and M of the
leading business men of Cincinnati.
Brown, it is said, wrote to a m

that it has good authority for saying
that Brown sailed from New York on
Saturday and that his destination is
