FILIPINOS FULL OF FIGHT
AMERICAN COMMANDERS ASK FOR
REINFORCEMENT

MANILA, March 9.-The commanders
in the north are asking for reinforce
ments, and a battalion of the Fortieth in
fantry has been sent to Aparri The reb-
els recently persistently attacked Aparri
for several hours, but were finally driven
away. Details of the affair are lacking
Other troops will follow.
The rebels are holding reunions in the
province of North Ilocos, and the Red
Katipunan cross, symbolic of resistance,
is again appearing among the natives.
1t is believed that the insurgent gen
erals, Tinco and Flores, have been driven
by Gen. Young into Gen. Hoods territory,
south of Aparri. The fact that Gen.
Young is unable owing to lack of troops,
to maintain garrisons in all the towns
occupied has had a bad effect on the
natives.
Gen. Bates has returned here after leav-
ing garrisons in the provinces of North
and South Camarines The expedition
lost seven men killed and ten wounded.
On entering New Caceres, province of
South Camarines, Gen. Bates learned that
1000 insurgents had departed the same
day The Americans Immediately sent
out three pursuing columns, encountering
the enemy in three small engagements,
and killing a total of forty men.
The Spanish prisoners report that the
enemy have divided into small bands
in the mountain under the leadership or
Legaspi The town O. Iraga has been
burned by the enemy. Both provinces

of the district of Libamaninan, including

formerly of Cavite province, with Chi

INDIAN RAIDS IN MEXICO
CONTINUE THEIR DEPREDATIONS
TO AN ALARMING EXTENT

AUSTIN, Tex, March 9-Advices from
Ortiz state of Sonora, Mexico. are that
the Indians have continued their depre-
dations to an alarming extent during the
past week, having ransacked a great
stretch of territory and done no little
damage to several hamlets along the road
between Potam and TORN. The Mexican
troops do not seem to be able to cope
with the situation at the present writ
ing, and it is manifest that more men
will be needed to effectually suppress the
upriSlngs.
The Indians, who We're all banded to-
gether about ten days ago.. for the puF-
pose, presumably, of making an attack
upon the main forces of the Mexicans
at a point near Torin, have again dis
persed into rowing bands of some 200 or
300 each, and in this manner they are
covering great range OF territory and
doing more damage in the way of ma
rauding movements. 1t Is evident, how
ever, that they are in constant COM
munication with one another, both by
runners and signal fires, as almost every
night signal fires are flashed from the
mountains, indicating the temporary
camp Of some OF the Indians
Owing to the unsettled and extremely
wild country In this nelghborhood, how
ever, the Mexican troops do not dare
venture to the location in the night. and
for that matter they find great difficulty
in leaving the road during the day, owing
to the acres of prickly pear and chap
paral through which they have to wade,
and which seriously interferes with their
progress
The Mexican troops are very suspicious
of the Indians laying traps to massacre
the entire force, and do not show much
inclination TO venture into the mountain
Businesses Severaf efforts have been
made to get small detachments of men
through to Potam, but without success,
as the Indians seem to be very plentiful
in that neighborhood, and are waging an
unusually bold warfare upon all troops
that come to the scene of action.

ASIATIC TRADE INCREASE
PRESIDENT j. j. HILL, OF GREAT
NORTHERN, DISCUSSES 1T.

NEW YORK, March 9.-President James
]. Hill, of the Great Northern Railway
company who is now in this city,, IS
enthusiastic over the increase of our
Asiatic trade.
Asia" he said, us an immense new
market for this country. The increase
in the consumption of our wheat and cot
ton in China and Japan is already so
large that 1t has reached point where
the volume of business is only limited by
the transportation facilities to the Or-
ent. These countries are also large buy
ers of our silver, with every prospect
that the demand will increase.
"The Great Northern is now building
two steamers which will probably sur
pass any steamers In the world as re-
CARDS tonnage capacity. Each of these
steamers has a little less tonnage ca
pacity than that Of two Lucanias COM
bined. This great tonnage will enable the
steamers to carry large cargoes at cheap
rates, and the cheaper we can ship our
products to Asia the sooner will We ex-
tend our markets"
