Manila, Dec. 9-While the captures
of supplies and the occupation of new
points are quite numerous, those in
volving actual fighting are compare
lively few. Apparently the insurgents
are falling back at all contested points,
sacrificing their possessions in most
cases and satisfied to same themselves.

the island of Catanduanes, off the
southeast coast of Luzon, relinquished
an attempt to land near Pandan. On

upon by sixty rif1emen and after short
engagement they cut the anchor chain
and sailed for Catanduanes with two
killed and two wounded The names

"Money is freely subscribed to purchase
arms and ammunition that are import

will never capture the rebel contraband
running vessels. While in order to fiat
ter the official view that the trade Is

ally Coming to Confucius.

New York, Dec. 9.-Wu Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister to the united
States, spoke before the Society for
Ethical Culture at Carnegie hall this
morning on "The Teachings of Contu-
cius."
Mr.. Wu said in beginning that there
is a general impression in this country
that there are three great religions IN
China-Confucianism Taoism and Bud
dhism. 1t is true that the government
recognized each of the three, but 1t Is
not correct to say they have anything
like an equal hold on the people. lie
added:
Buddhism and Taoism may be said
to be for the dead-Confucianism for
the living You will see Buddhist and
Taoist priests in the same funeral pro-
cession, conducting rites for the dead.
You see we are practical people, and
as we cannot be quite sure just what
takes place after death, we employ all
sorts Of priests. If one kind cannot get
us into heaven, perhaps the other kind
can. and so we employ both. Everything
of the kind is always paid for. Super
stition is the chief support of Taoism
and Buddhism. They grow weaker and
weaker as men grow more intelligent.
Confucianism however, is taught in the
schools and students are examined ev-
cry year in the Confucianism classics.
Every Ch!naman who wishes to enter
official life must study the classics of
Confucius. Confucianism, in fact,
binds the empire into the homogeneous
whole. Just as you say that this is a
Christian country, although not all the
people are Christians, so it is correct to
