Washington, May 3.-Recent mail ad-
vices to the War Department from the
Philippines indicate that the latest
plan Of the insurgents is to organize
into mounted bands Of 100 and harrass
the American forces wherever possible.
These bands will be scattered through
out the islands and will be in daily
communication with each other as far
as possible, by means of scouts, who
will carry the orders to govern con-
certed movements and all information
concerning retreats, achievements,
etc. According to the Liberal, the Or
gan OF the Filipinos, a complete plan
Of military strategy will be drawn up
"as result Of which the Americans
will soon suffer"
It Is reported that a strong insurgent
camp Is being organized in the Fam
beles mountains and that nearly all the
towns Of the provinces, whether oc-
cupied by Americans or not, continue
to pay taxes for the sustenance of the
Filipinos in arms and the prosecution
Of the struggle.

VIEWS CHANGED.

New York, May 3.-Bishop Potter
speaking last night at the annual din
ner of the New York Commandary of
the military order of the Loyal Legion
of the United States at Delmonico's
said that his mind had not undergone
any radical change concerning the Phil
ippines since his return to the United
States. He thus illustrated his views:
IF my son should come to me and
say he proposed to marry a young
creole woman with seven children ]
would call him great big ass. But II
he came to me and said he had already
contracted such a marriage would try
to sustain intimate relations with him.
mo, gentlemen, what we have done
has established just such relation as
that and it would be a source of ma
tional modification IL we gave up our
responsibilities because we find them
difficult"
