FILIPINos TROUBLESOME.
Rebels Reorganixlng In Zambales Provinos
-BrigAnds Committing Atrocities In
Nueva EcigR-TrAveling Dangerous.

Manila, March 19.-Gen. Otis con-
siders Manila the most troublesome
center IN the situation to-day. The
insurgent junta here, in conjunction
with that in Hong Kong, is growing
active. A number of representative
insurgent leaders from different parts
of Luzon have recently been in con-
ference in Manila. Some have been
placed under arrest, but the others
thus far have not been interfered
with.
Reports are current here of active
rebel organization in the province of
Morong, where the insurgent leaders
are said to be assisted by prominent
Spanish residents. 1t is also report
ed that the rebels are recognizing in
the province of Zambales, under
Mascardo. Brigands are committing
atrocities in the province of Nueva
Eciga, where they have murdered 20
natives and Cinnamon. The Nueva
Eciga insurgents are heavily taxing
local traders and farmers, with the
result that business is paralyzed and
there is general scarcity of food.
The funds for maintaining this
guerrilla warfare are collected from
the various towns in the island,
whether occupied by the Americans
or not, even including Manila.
Travel between the towns garri-
.soned by the Americans is becoming
more dangerous. All wagon trains
must be escorted by heavy guards
in order to insure their safety.

IT WOULD AFFECT LABOR.
Senator Hanna Says Free Trade with Porto
Rico Would Alarm the Workingmen
of the United States.

Washington, March IA canvass
of the senate indicates that the Porto
Rico tariff bill will pass. Neverthe.
less, it is regarded as best to postpone
the test until public sentiment in
some parts of the country undergoes
the change republicans expect with
further consideration and better I'M
Outstanding of the measure.
Senator Hanna says that the impo-
sition of tariff of Is per cent. of
the Dingley rates upon the products
of Porto Rico will never be felt by
the people of the island; that it will
not restrict their trade. He predicts
that very soon after the bill is passed
all of the excitement and opposition
to it will die out. But, the senator
continues, if entire freedom of trade
should be conferred upon the island,
the labor of the United States would
be alarmed by the fear that the Porto
Rican act was precedent for treat
ment of the Philippines. This alarm,
no matter whether just or not, would
spread and would grow throughout
the campaign. 1t would furnish the
basis upon which democrats would in
sist that freedom of trade must fol-
low for the Philippines. 1t would af-
feet hundreds of thousands of labor

success in handling the civil problems
at Bloemfontein and the manifest
equanimity with which the residents
of the capital of the Orange Free
State accept the British occupation,
momentarily eclipse in interest the
military situation. 1t is believed here
that the ommander-in-chief of the
British forces in South Africa will
soon push on to Pretoria, but Great
Britain is quite content to listen for
a few days to the acclamations of the
people of Bloemfontein and permit
the troops to enjoy few days rest
before expecting further success.
Lord Roberts made quaint speech to
the guards at Bloemfontein when, in
his first congratulatory words, he
expressed pride in their splendid
march of 3S miles in 20 hours and
gave ample assurance of his ultimate
design. Through a-small mistake"
said Lord Roberts, 81 have not been
able to march into Bloemfontein at
the head of the brigade, as I intended.

lead you into Pretoria"

was some truth in the statement that
there is a movement among eastern
democrats to elect. Tom L. Johnson, OF
Ohio, chairman of the national commit

form. Gov. Stone said:

what it Is. From information that came
to me at Washington. and since, l
gather that the end which the Palmer

tain is the capture of the organization of

get into the convention as delegates. and

means of adroit manipulation control an
many delegates as possible, with the I'LL
innate object Of controlling the conven'
ton and capturing the national commit.
