Led Into an Ambush.
A DjsagreeabIe Storm,

Chicago, March 6-The most dis
agreeable storm Of the winter set in
yesterday afternoon and at midnight
showed no signs of abatement, Snow
fell during the afternoon--not in
flakes--but in little icy pellets that
almost cut the skin when they were
carried along by the full force of the
30 mile wind that blew during the
afternoon. At night the snow turned
to sleet and from that into rain and
then back to sleet again and then
both at once. The rain froze as il
fell and caused dozens Of persons 10
iniure themselves on the icy sidewalks
and seriously menaced all branches Of
the public service in which wires are
used. Reports from all parts of Ill
inois, Iowa and Wisconsin tell of sim
lar conditions.

THE PHILIPPINE WAR
Insurgents Planning a Guerrilla
Opposition on a Large Scale.
SECRET ORGANIZATION OF REBELS.
Insurgents Active Along the Northern
Coat Of Lux0n anu In the southern
Province. They Continue 10 Hara@
American GarrisOns.

Manila. March j.-Reports reach the
Associated press from various sources,
including army officers and the heads
Of commercial houses with agents
throughout he islands, of continued
activity among the insurgents, who
are endeayorng to keep alive the
armed opposition to the United
States, and are planning to continue
the insurre"tion with guerrilla war
fare on a large scale when the rainy
season begins. A person holding
position second only to that of the
governor general tells the Associated
press he is convinced that the insur-
gent organization has been remark
ably rchabilirated during the past
month, particularly in the northern
provinces. lie says that the insur-
gents have a secret organization. pat
termed after the Katipunan methods,
even in the strongest garrisoned
towns, atfording perfect means of
communication and that the machin-
cry is managed from Manila. some OF
the leaders being FiIipnos pretending
to be supporters Of the American adj
minstlation. and many Of the mu-
nicipal governments installed by the
army, forming part Of the ministry.
Palermo, in the northern mountains
OF Manila. is full of civil and military
officials of all ranks of Aguinald0's
government, who We're captured or
surrendered. and who were brought
here and released ON promises to re-
fran from agitation. While many OF
the insnrgent municipal officers were
continued in Office on taking the oath
of allegiance, residents who are ac-
quainted with them have little faith in
the adherence to their promises.
All the civil officials OF Tarlac, cap
ital of the province of that name,
numbering II persons, have been ar
rested and charged with plotting, and
two insurgents have been captured at
Malabon with discriminating papers
and $4,000 collected from the natives.
Some Of the municipal governments
appear loyal and efficient. On the
other hand, one American general de-
clares that he believes that the ma
iority in his province are agents of
The insurgents. 4 fresh issue of in
surgent pamphlets is being circulated,
asserting that the American promises
OF good government are merely a
mask for commercial exploitation of
the Philippines, quoting Senator Ilev-
cridge's speech aud an editorial from
a Washington newspaper headed "Let
Us BE Honest"
The army throughout the island of
Ltzon is working hard, securing the
country for insurgents and killing
few daily. The section from Manila to
Dagnpan has been thoroughly cleared,
the scouting parties being unable to
find any insurgents, Gen. Funston
and Col, KEENAN, took 200 men
through the mountains to l'aler, ON
the eastern coast, without meeting an
insurgent. But they are active along
the northern coast from Dagupan TO
Aparri. Occasional reports come of
an American being killed or disappear
ing. In the southern provinces the
insurgents continue to harrass the
American garrisouS by night demon
