That They Must Comply with
the Laws of War.

Manila, Dec. 20.-To-6ay Gen. Mac
Arthur viii issue a proclamation
warning the inhabitants of the archi-
pelago that hereafter strict compIi-
anee with the laws of war will be re-
quired of non-combatants as we'll as
combatants. The proclamation VIII
set forth the principal laws OF war.
It will refer to recent proc1amationS
issued by insurgent commanders
threatening natives who are friendly
to the American forces and also to
the orders issued to their men to kid
nap and asSassinate residents of towns
occupied by Americans. The insur-
gent leaders will be notified that such
practices, if continued, will put an
end to the possibility of their resum-
ing normal civic relations and will
make them fugitive criminals.
Residents of places occupied by
Americans will be notified that COM
plianee with the demands of the
enemy will create a presumption that
such acts are voluntary and malicious.
They Will also be notified that pleas
of intimidation will rarely be acce pied
and that where secret committees are
permitted to exist in behalf of the
insurgents, even well disposed per-
sons will be exposed to the danger OF
being tried as traitors.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
To Finish the state Capitor.

State Architect John Stanton has
prepared an estimate showing the
amount of money that will be required
to complete the state house. Accord
ing to his figures it will cost $147, 44O
outside of the work now under con-
tract. This estimate includes a COM
plete rebuilding of the interior of the
first floor, of the east wing. It also
includes a marble floor for the rotun-
,da and corridors on the first floor,
and a So, 500 marble fountain in the
center of the rotunda in the base
ment. The estimate of $4,000 for eX-
terror work includes carving for pedi-
ments, statue of Ceres on the dome
and repairing of the north and south
approaches. 1t is estimated that in
addition to the present levy 100000
will complete the state house and fur
nish it with all the necessary furni-
ture. The legislature will be asked
to levy tax to raise this amount.
Two years ago it fixed one-fourth-
mill levy. That raised 100000.
Three-sixteenths of a mill levy will
raise enough during the next two
years to complete the building en-
tirelY.
