WORK OF SLAUGHTER.
Filipinos Killed at the Rate of 100
Day.

Day.
Correspondence of Associated Press
Manila, P. L, May 1.-The last two
weeks have seen a general spread of
rebel activity throughout Luzon and
even to the other islands which has
been sharply offset by immediate retail
alton The rebels have attacked by
day and by night several of the 267
towns we garrisoned. Over 800 Fill
pinos were killed by troops of General
HoungS command in North IOcOS
province during three days hard fight
ing last week over a hundred were
killed down in Camerinos province IN
der General Bell and at least fifty were
killed in their recent attack upon
Cagayan De Samis in northern Min
danao. Five hundred dead Filipinos
would be a conservative estimate of
their losses during the past fifteen days
and number of smaller engagements
that have passed unnoticed would
bring the total up to at least six hun
dred
A remarkable feature is that during
the fighting which resulted in this
heavy loss to the rebels, the American
forces have not had more than six men
killed and fifteen wounded Perhaps
the best example of the rebels activity
and the way the Americans deal with
them is given in the recent report
from Lieutenant Colonel Howse of the
Thlrty-fOurth infantry in which he
describes the recent fighting in the
province of North IlOcOs. On April 16
fourth, with eight men, met 300 insur-
gents and after a short fight withdrew
his troops from the town and when the
insurgents entered he surrounded the
place. A fight ensued in which 108 Fill
pinOs We're killed. The same day Cap
tain French with 120 men met the en-
envy near NintOr and killed %. On
April II, two hundred natives, twenty
of whom were armed with rifles and
the balance with bolOs and clubs en-
tered the town of Loaag to attempt an
uprising. We killed forty and captured
eighty and drove off the balance.
The total number of the enemy killed
in North Ilocos province in three days
is given at 1888. This does not include
the wounded who crawIed away into the
brush.

early in January for the southern is

There were six men in the party. They

TITLES NOT VALID.
Central Branch Said to Have No Claim
on Land Advertised For Sale.

O1SOO1
Atchison, June 1T is said that the
receivers of the Central Branch have
discovered that they have no title
whatever to any of the land in Atchison
county which they recently offered for
sale, and that titles have been produced
to all but three acres of the Jackson
county land advertised. In Brown
county, the company is said to have a
claim on $50 acres, but a valid deed will
probably be sprung to it before the sale,
which is advertised to take place at the
Atchison court house next Thursday.
All property owners will be present or
have representatives at the sale to pro-
test against it, that being the advice
of ATTORNEYS.

Lincoln, Neb., June 2.-Attorneys for
the Union Pacific Railroad company
have filed an answer with the supreme
court TO the petition of Attorney Cen
eral Smyth in the suit brought on be-
half of the state, asking for nearly
$1,000 for alleged violations of the
maximum freight rate law. The docu-
ment is a voluminous one, a number of
defenses being set up. One is that the
corporation is organized under the laws
of Utah. 1t is also claimed that the
state supreme court has not original
Jurisdiction, inasmuch as this is practi-
cally a ceremonial suit. and finally it
claims that the maximum rate law is
unconstitutional.

VOTED DOWN.
Amendment ResOlu-
tion Failed to Pass.

Washington, June 2.-The house of
representatives after a lively debate ex-
tending over two days defeated the joint
resolution proposing a constitutional
amendment empowering congress to
regulate trusts. 1t requires two-thirds
vote under the constitution to adopt
an amendment to the constitution. The
vote stood. ayes 154, nays 131.
The affirmative vote therefore was 50
short of the requisite two thirds, 1872.
Five Democrats, Messrs. Campbell
(Mont), Naphen (Mass.), Scudder IN.
", SibIey CPa.D and Thayer (Mass.),
and one siIverite, Mr.. Newlands (Nev),
voted with the Republicans for the
amendment, and two Republicans, Mr.
Loud (CaL) and Mr.. Mccall (A1ass.)
with the Democrats. These were the
only breaks from party lines. The Pop
ulists voted solidly against the resolu-
ton.
The debate preceding the vote had
strong political flavor throughout and
was at times very personal. The fea-
lures were the closing speeches of Mr..
DeArmond (Mo) and Mr.. Littlefield
(Me) for the respective sides, and the
short speech of Mr.. Mccall >(Mass.)
against the resolution. Mr.. Mccall has
distinguished himself before during
this session in opposing the action of his
colleagues on the Porto Rican bill His
action was unheralded, and therefore
attracted the more attention.
