pines: The organized insurrection is
practically at m end, and, therefore,
the troops have to ceal only with
guerilla bands and outlaws. Yet in
the last forty days the American
forces hero have lost more men, more
arms and more supplies in the So
called paciied districts than during
any previous period of like length
since the insurrection began.
If this is what guerilla warfare
means, then we will need more troops
some day, for the new method of
fighting is proving more effective than
any style that the insurgents have em-
ployed previously.
Almost every day brings O report OF
some fresh ambuscade. wherein small
forces OF our troops are attacked by a
hundred or more Filipinos. Usually
one or more of our men are killed,
and the rest are driven away by sheer
force Of overwhelming numbers. Then
follows punitive expedition, but
these sorties seldom find trace OF the
enemy. il
Invariably the insurgents know the
exact strength of the force they are
ambushing, for they usually lie. IN u

men, which they permit to approach

r. Down in Negros General Smith has
for some months been engaged in the
guerilla kind of fighting, and he has
been able to crush it out. When o

in town on the island he promptly
imposed q heavy fine on the place.

Some of the oddities of Capt Slocum's
''single- handed trip around the world
in the sloop Spray are described in this
passage from the January Century:
For several days now the Spray sailed

hours, and that was near enough on long

l saw anti-trade clouds flying up from the
south west very high over the regular
winds, which weakened now for a few
days, while swell heavier than usual set
in also from the southwest. A winter
gale was going on in the direction of the
Cape of Good Hope. Accordingly, I
steered higher to windward, allowing

evening singing doggerel songs to strum-

chair against his own house wall, or on

district and it be Sunday, Or holiday, he
puts on clean shirt, with big gold or
silver neck fastening, his ''other pair of
well brushed trousers, and his newest
black felt hat, of the pattern you often
see in pictures of Spanish life. Then he
throws over his shoulders a black cloth

The Portuguese dance, brought by Clip
sizes from the far East, is not particularly
graceful. 1t is slow and firm in movement,
accentuated in time and depending almost
entirely on the motions of the arms and
body, rather than the feet. With the
dance goes the song-a melancholy, long

takes the form of a rude hexameter Each
