Renewed Activity OF
The FilipinOs.

The latest news from the Philip

nostil activity on the part Of the
Filipinos.
Some days ago Generals Young
and Hood as ed for reinforcements
and battalion of the Forty -sighth
Regiment was sent to Aparri, where
other troops will soon follow.
Che rebels recently attacked Apa-
rri for several hours but were finally
driven aways.
The rebels are holding reunions
in the provinces of North IlOeos, and
10 red '.katipuuan" cross, symbolic
Of resistance, is again appearing
among the natives.
Itls believed that the iasurgent
generals TiniO aud Flores have been
driven by General Young into Gen
eral Hoods district.
The fact that General Young is
unable, owing to lack of troops, 70
maintain garrisOns in all the towns
occupied, had bad effect On the
natives.
General Bates returned to Manila
after leaving garrisons in the prov
inces of North and South CEmari
mes.
He learned there that two tho
u usand insurgents had departed the
day he srril ed at New Caceres, pro-
vince Of South Calnarines.
The Americans immediately sent
out three pursing columns, encOunt.
ering the enemy in three small en-
gagements and killing total Of
forty men.
The Spanish prisoners reported
that the enemy has divided into
small bands in the mountains, uuder
the leadership of General Legaspi.
rhe town Of Irig& was burned BY the
enemy. Both provinces we're thOrO.
ughly secuted. The inhabitants Of
