TWO TOWNS CAPTURED.
American Troops In the PHILIPPINES
Occupy IIilOnos and Maasin,
Leyti Island.

Manila, May 15.-The towns of Hi
lcngos and Maasin, island of Lcyte,
have been occupied by troops Of the
43d volunteer infantry. The insur.
gents opposed the landing Of the
Americans and sustained heavy losses.
| The Americans had three casualties.
The latest rumor of an outbreak in
Manila among the natives, which was
in circulation last week, was seriously
discussed by some of the local papers,
and attracted more general attention
than has usually been the case with
this sort of thing. AS a matter Of
fact, many Filipinos did leave their
American employers with the appar-
cnt intention OF joining some such
movement. Their action. taken in
connection with the arrest OF several
natives for carrying concealed weap-
ons and the dispersion Of several sus-
picious gatherings, gave color to the
reports.
The officials have been active in the
matter, but are not inclined to think
an uprising will be attempted. They
believe the Filipinos lacking in the
necessary courage, especially IN view
of the fact that the natives feared to
attempt the demonstration at the
time of Gen. Eawton's funeral. al
though they had made careful prePa-
rations and many insurgents had come
to Manila for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured
effects of Gen. Pantalcon Garcia as
scrts that the United States congress
has done nothing for the Filipinos,
and that, therefore, all Filipinos who
are working for Americans must leave
their employers Immediately or suffer
the penalty OF treason.
1t does not seem probable that the
peace proposals which Senior Buenca-
mino, at one time a member OF the
so-called Filipino government, has
drawn up for submission to Aguinal-
do and the other insurgent leaders
will have much weight with the Fill
pinos. Buencamino's reputation
cained in former wars, Is that OF
man who hurries to get on the win
ming side. He was in disfavor with
the Filipinos even before the collapse
n their government, owing to wide
,nread suspicion of disloyalty to his
