REBEL LOSES HEAVY.
Towns Are Occupied by American
Troops


Manila. May Is. The towns Of
Hilongos and Maasin, island Of Leyte,
have been occupied by troops of the
Forty-third volunteer infantry. The
Insurgents opposed the landing of the
Americans and sustained heavy losses.
Tie latest rumor OF an outbreak in
Manila am ong the natives, which was
in circulation last week, was serious
ly discussed by some of the local pa
pers and attracted general atten-
ton than has been usual with this sort
of thing. AS a matter of fact many
Filipinos did leave taeir American en-
plCyers with the apparent intention of
Joining sCme such movement. Their
action. taken in connection with the ar
rest of certain natives charged with
carrying concealed weapons and the
dispersal of several suspicious gather
ings, gave color to the reports. The
officials have been reticent in the mat
ter. but are not inclined to believe a
rising imminent. They believe the
Filipinos are lacking in courage and
say they feared to attampt a demon
stration at Gen. Lawton's funeral. al
though they had made careful prepare.
tons and many insurgents had come
to Manila for this express purpose. A
paper found among the correspondence
of Gen. P~antaleon Garcia asserts that
the United States
Congress Had Done Nothing
for the Filipinos, and that, therefore,
all Filipinos who are working for
Americans must leave their employ
Immediately or suffer the penalty of
treason. One report is that the Filipino
iunta is endeayoring to initiate an out
break in order to show the civil COM
mission that the i~nsurrection is still
alive. 1t does not seem probable that
the peace proposals which Senior Buen-
canine. at one time a member Of the
so-called Filipino government, has
drawn up for submission TO Aguinaldo
and the ether insurgent leaders, will
have much weight with the Filipinos.
Buencamino's reputation, gained In
former wars, is that of a man who
hurries to get on the winning side. He
was in disfavor with the Filipinos,
even before the collapse of their gov
ernmen owing TO a widespread suspi-
cion of his loyalty to his colleagues.
Last week Gen. Macarthur received
a large number of officials. consular
officers and representatives Of COM
mercial bodies. To Lieut.. Col. Crow
der. his military secretary, he will as
sign many duties heretofore devolving
upon the governor general. MacAr-
thurs policy seems TO be to avoid de-
Capitalization. He will give TO his
staff matters of detail and will devote
himself largely TO questions of policy.

Cannot BE Treated mt n PROFIT mt
Present Prices of Coke.

Cannot BE Treated mt n PROFIT mt
Present Prices of Coke.
The Golden Reward Mining compa-
ny OF Deadwood is having a hard time
10 get coke. For the past year the
company has had a contract for coke
at $7.25 per ton, but there Las been a
raise OF $3.50 per ton, and when the
company pays that price 1t will be
found impossible to treat the low
grade ore of the Bald Mountain and
other districts at a profit. 1t requires
half n ton of coke for every ton OF
silicious ore treated. and the increase
in price will form an extra cost or
$400 per day. Experiments are being
made with the Hemmingway process
for coke-making on coal from the
mines at New Castle, Wyo., and, liz
successful. it is probable that the pro-
cess will be put into use at the Golden
Reward mine.
Another Eastern capitalist arrived
in Deadwood this week for the pur-
pose Of investigating the merits OF the
tin district in the Bear Gulch country.
The price of tin is high at present,
which makes a tin proposition look
pretty good. 1t is stated that the Phil
adelphia parties who examined the
district around Bear Gulch p~ostofiiee
about three weeks ago have reported,
and that a deal has been consum-
mated. The deal embraces about
twenty-five claims, and the considers
ton would be about 100000,
There is need at present of q custom
cyanide plant. with a daily capacity
for treating 200 to 800 tons of ore per
day. The plant should be located eth
er in Deadwood or between the city
and the mines TO the west. 1t is be-
lieved that it would be an easy matter
to get daily guarantees Of ore to keep
a large custom plant in steady opera
ton. 1t is known that three different
parties, or companies, are figuring on
jus such a plant. Two of them are
composed of Colorado people AMI the
other is a Pennsylvania concern.
The Titanic Mining company will
erect n cyanide plant In Carbonate
camp some time in the near future.
The Cleopatra mining company a
the foundation laid for a 100-ton plant
on Souaw Greek, and the Detroit ana
Deadwood company has let a contract
for a large cyanide plant on ANN
Creek. Plants are already in success
full operation in Ragged Top and
Black Tail districts. The cyanide
process. as used in the Hills. is so
cheap that a vast amount of ore that
has hitherto been unused will come
into the market.
Work is TO commence within two
weeks on the Lena mine north of Hill
City, which has been purchased by
Minneapolis parties. A 600-foot tun-
mel is to be driven. which will be 800
feet under cover. The mine is looking
well. with plenty of rich ore in sight
in assure veins. A. ID. Arundel of I'm
neapolis is expected to arrive at Hin
City in a few days to look after the
work.

Tax-weary people are offered a haven
of rest in the good old shore town of
Guilford. No resident will be asked to
pay any taxes the coming year, for
the voters decided in town meeting
that they have more money than they
need and 1t would be e~xtravagant to
hire a tax collector and assessor to
gather taxes. which would have to lie
idle In the bank II they were collected.
Since the vote was passed letters have
poured in upon the town officials ask
ing for complete information of the
towns resources, its past municipal
history and Its reasons for emitting the
tax levy. Professors of political econ
omy In colleges all over the country
outnumber the other investigators. The
town had $4,000 debt two years ago.

The debt of South Dakota Is less
now than at any time since its admis-
sion into the union. and is decreasing
rapidly. The great advance in land
values and the wonderful infuex OF
settlers will enable the people to pay
off all Indebtedness in less than ten
years. without requiring more than 1
mill annual tax levy for bond interest
and sinking fund. In fact, the pres
ent prosperity will make the tax rate
less every year, and the bonds OF n
state will soon be entirely wiped out.
Then the general fund will receive a
good income for several years on ac-
count of back payments of bond inter-
est and penalty.
The salaries of the state officers
have been ~scandalously low The peo-
pie have been conscious Of this 2nd at
every session of the legislature the
matter has been discussed. There is
already much talk to the effect that,
owing to the great reduction In the
state debt and the probability of its
extingnishment within a few years,
the coming legislature will raise the
salaries Of ali officers. The governor,
members Of the supreme court, cir
cult judges and attorney general re-
ceiye mere pittances compared with
the Importance Of their services. No
ordinary city, and few counties In old
err states, pay so small salaries to their
legal representatives.

TowN IN MoB,s HANDS.
sheriff Called Upon to Suppress n
Riof

Pittsburg, May ia mob of men
and boys numbering about 1000. has
had possession of Turtle Creek, a
small Town about eight miles east of
here all evening and at midnight last
night the sheriff was called upon to
suppress the riot. The trouble was
precipitated by the board of health
trying to take possession of an aban-
doned school building of the town for
a pest house. The citizens objected to
this and when the board made prepar-
atoms for the removal of the six cases
of smallpox in the town to the school
house last evening they were me by
the mob. who refused to allow them
TO proceed. Twenty-Five special Of
ficers were sworn in. but could do
nothing. and the volunteer fire depart
ment was called out. The firemen
found a full-fedged riot in progress,
but succeeded in dispensing the rioters
by turning the hose on them. The
crowd rallies, however, cut the hose,
pelted the fifemen and beat them with
sticks until they retreated. A number
OF the firenen were badly cut and
bruised. but none seriously hurt.
