HARASSINC TACTICS.
Filipino Insurgents Maintain a Con-
slant Fire on American 0utposts.
BURNING ARROWS SHOT BY THEN.


Manila, Feb, 12.--Of late the insuy
gents in Albay province, Luzon, have
adopted harassing tactics against the
towns which the Americans have gar
risoned. They camp in the hills and
maintain constant fire upon the
American outposts. When the troops
sally against them they scatter, re-
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows and have
thus burned large part of the town
of Albay. Indeed, most of the larger
towns in that province are practically
deserted, except by the garrisons.
Scarcely any of the inhabitants re-
turn to their homes. They are camp
ing in the interior and it is supposed
armed insurgents prevent them 60
ing back. 1t is reported that there
is much suffering among them, owing
to lack of food. As result of these
conditions the hemp business in that
section is seriously hindered and ships
going for cargoes are compelled to
take gangs of coolies to do their load
ing, Hemp held in the interior is
quite inaccessible.
Col. Bell will take two regiments
and battery through the province
of North Camarines and South Cam
arines, going there on transports.
Many insurgents retreated to that
part of the island from Cavite and
Batangas province. Another expedi-
ton will soon start to garrison towns
along the north coast of the island of
Mindanao.
Guerrilla warfare continues south
of Manila. Two attempts have been
made to ambush the Americans. Col.
Schwan, while returning to Manila
with his staff and an escort of 100 cav
airy from Batangas, was attacked by
the insurgents The latter were dis
persed, but the Americans had five
men wounded
Lieut.. Col. Beacon, with six compa-
MES of the Forty-second infantry,
had Il two-hours' fight with Gen. Pho
Del Pillars command, which attempt
ed to ambush the Americans along
the trail through Morong province,
near the lake. Here also the insur-
gents were dispersed, but the Ameri-
cans had several wounded. Among
them captain.
Gen. Bell is operating southwark
through Zambales province with a
small force.
Another expedition is proceeding
northward from Subig. 1t is reported
that the insurgent general Alexandra
has recovered from his wound and has
assembled large force in that dis
trict.
The plague continues. Eight cases
were reported last week among the
natives and Chinese. There is no ex-
element, however, and business and

Spencer WilklnsOn's Review.

London, Feb. 10.-In the Morning
Post yesterday Mr.. Spencer Wilkin-
son, reviewing the military situation,
says; Lord Roberts is evidently
about to begin his campaign, and
there are signs that Gen. Methuen's
force win make the first important
move, The latest news regarding
Gen. Buffers operation is puzzling. 1t
looks now as II he never seriously con-
templated an attempt to relieve Lady
smith, but only demonstration to
prevent the Beers from diverting re-
Inducements to Magersfontein. Look
ing to the distance from Ladysmith
to Kimberley, II journey in which the
Beers would get little railway help
for the transport Of their forces, Lord
Roberts has a clear week for the first
blow, which will put new face upon
the situation. This hypothesis would
account for the peculiarities of the
attacks on Monday and Tuesday, for,
IL they were intended as serious
movement. Gen. Butler would have
been largely reinforced and would
have pushed the attack with greater
energy"
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1900-02-15

London, Feb. 10. London accepts
az true the Boer statements that Gen
Butler has failed again. These state
ments were passed by the British cen
scr at Alden and are read in the light
of Mr.. Balfour's announcement in the
commons that Gen. Butler is not
pressing his advance.
Mr.. Winston Churchill wires that
Vaal krantz was impracticable for
the guns which were needed to sup
port further advance. His cable
gram leaves Gen. Butler on Tuesday
night sending fresh brigade to re-
lieve the tired soldiers of Vaal Krantz.
The descriptive writer's with Gen.
Butler wre allowed rather free hand
again in explaining the ugly position
which the British held and the nat
ural obstacles which had to be over
come. So it is easy to infer that with
Boer rhemen and artillery defending
them, these hills, ravines and jungles
have not been overcome and thus tn,
public Is prepared in advance for bad
news.
Heliograms from Ladysmith, dated
Monday, describe the effect Gen. Bull
ler's cannOnade had on the worn gar
rison. Hope ran high that the long
period of inactivity and tedium was
drawing to a close. The crash of guns
was almost continuous for ten hours,
and II seemed as II as many as 20
shells burst in a minute. The Beers,
preparing always for the possibility
of defeat, were driving herds and
sending long wagon trains towards
the Drakensberg passes. Intense
darkness and silence followed, bro
ken only by frogs croaking and the
occasional blaze OF star shells, sur
rounding the town with circle of
light to prevent the unobseryed ap-
proach Of the enemy. A series of
British mines, laid for the Beers, ex-
ploded accidentally, shaking and
alarming the city and camp.
Gen. McDonad's retirement plY-
zlcs the military commentors. The
theory that finds acceptance is that
it was ordered by Lord Roberts and
that both Gen. Buffers and Gen. Me-
Donalds operations were by the d.
rection of the c0mmander-in-chief, in
order to occupy the Beers at widely
separated points so they would be
unable to transfer any portion OF
their forces to oppose the projected
