FILIPINO WAR RENEWED.
insurgents Become Aggressive and I.ooo
Are Killed and Captur ed

betohe Aggressive and 1000
Are Killed and Captur ed
Last week has been one OF the
oloodiest of the war since the first
days lighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly official,
show total of 31s Filipinos killed,
twelve officers and 244 men captured
and many more wounded.
The number wounded is hardly
guessable. Considering that the Fill
ptnos entirely lack hospital facilities,
great majority of the wounded will
die. Probably the weeks work fin
ished 1000 insurgents.
The American loss was nine killed
and sixteen wounded. Two sergeants
and one private were killed in am
bushes while escorting provision
trains
The insurgents have been aggressive

ing 300, which was out of sight for
three months, the leader being re-
ported killed, has reappeared in it's old

The United States government has
made demand upon Turkey for the
payment of $40, 200, awarded several
years ago for damages to American
missionary property, and often prom

The news of the firm attitude as
sumed has caused something of sem

Three successive American ministers
have prosecuted these claims, each res
ceived promise of prompt settlement,

| Hence, in two hours after, we had
the satisfaction OF seeing Antonio el
Cubano. Benito 0jeda, the old tindal OF
the Lascars, and Fighter other rascals,
/ taken off to the castle of Santa Cruz in
a large open boat, guarded by twelve
Spanish soldiers In charge of lieu

the ships side. 1t combined all the
worst emotions OF his angry heart. and
somewhat reminded me Of his face
in that terrible moment when he
swung at the end OF the studding sail

death in his heart
We watched the boat till 1t reached
the long stone mole, and then we saw
the fixed bayonets OF the escort fash
ing, as the whole party ascended the
great stair toward the custom house
and surrounded by mob of those nau-
tcal idlers who usually make a pier

of the town, as they marched toward
the castle.

The Last of Antonio El Cubano.
The trial came on in couple of days
after, and proceeded with a celebrity
unknown in England or Scotland eth
err We were all examined, and pre-
viously were sworn, not on Bible,
but over two sword blades held in the
form OF a cross-for such Is the old
chivalric custom In Spanish court
of law.
Without hesitation the judges found
Antonio guilty: he was sentenced to
die by the garotte, and heard his doom
with apparent apathy.
The tinda1 of the Lascars was re-
leased, as 1t would appear that he had
acted under compulsion; but Benito
Ojedo and eight other Spanish sea-
men were sentenced to work In the
Notifications or on the highways for
ten years, In chains, as felons or gall
ley slaves.
A few days later we found a great
crowd of colonists, citizens, mulattoes,
creoles and negroes. all In motley and
gaudily striped linen Jackets and trou-
sers, assembled in the Plaza. where a
guard of Spanish infantry, with mus
kets shouldered and bayonets fixed,
kept back the people in the form OF a
hollow square about raised wooden
platform, which was covered with
black cloth and whereon was placed
the garotte.

The time remaining before the first

vide revenue and a civil government

Will take effect appears TO be INSULT
cient for the careful consideration re-
quisite to the proper selection of suit
able persons to Ali the important civil
offices provided for by the act. The
powers of the present government will
cease when the act takes effect, and
some new authority will be necessary
to enable the officers now performing
the various duties of civil government
in the island to continue the perform
ance of those duties until their success
sors have been appointed and qualified.

officers of the army, detailed to per-
formaIees of civil duties, and section

SENSATION AMONG cUBANs.
Letter from Cabinet Officer Advising De-
mand for Independence.

John Ruis Riyerira, secretary of
agriculture, industry and commerce
of Cuba, has written letter which is
to be largely circulated, calling upon
political parties of all shades to unite
in order to present united front to
the government and people of the
United States when asking that the
year 1901 shall be devoted to the
formation of an independent govern
ment for Cuba, which shall begin to
act on its own responsibility after the
year 1901.
The letter has caused great sensa-
tion among the Cubans generally COM
ing, as it does, from cabinet secre-
tary, and the feeling is that the letter
is to all practical intents a call upon
the Cubans to demand independence.
He will have to resign.
