Manila. Feb. 11.-1O.50 p. M.-Of late
the insurgents in Albay province

against the towns which the Ameri-
cans have garrisoned. They camp in
the hills and maintain constant fire
mon the American outpOsts. When
the troops sally against them they
scatter. returning when the Americ ans
retire.
They shoot burning arrows and have
thus burned a large part of the town
Of Albay. Indeed. most of the larger
towns in that province are practically
deserted. except by the garrisons.
Scarcely any OF the inhabitants return
ia their homes. They are camping in
the interior and it is supposed armed
insurgents prevent them going back.
II is reported that there is much suf-
fering among them owing to lack Of
food.
As result of these conditions. the
hemp business in that section is scri-
ously hindcrcd and ships going for

ACTORS WHO INITIATE ANIMALS.
A Curious Class Never Seen By the
Pubic

From the beginning Of the drama
animals have been introduced in plays.
and represented on the stage by ac-
tors especially trained Tor such parts.
although few players care to assume
these characters. which are at best
acrobatic, writers J. II. Clapp. i'll the

is the accuscY and the other the de-

stolen cheese. Racine has a quarrel
between two dogs for the possession
Of d duck in one Of his plays. The ass
figures in many Of the miracle plays.
and is also introduced in some Of the
earliest English dramas. being an Gle
ment Of fun that was dear to the play
wrghts of the time. There is Il bear
in "Siogfried." which does not call for
great exhibition Of histronic power.
but the most famous stage animal is
probably The dog that caused Goethc's
retirement from the direction of the
theatre ut Weimar. In Il play that
was to be produced there dog had TO
identify his masters murderer by
lcaping ut his throat in court. The

just well dismantle custom houses and

until we get commapding view Of the situation

THE OPEN DOOR INVOLVED.
Mr.. Foraker discussed the probability that
this Government would be asked by other
Powers for open door in the Philippines and
declared that it was important and perhaps
imminent contingency, Of which account would
have to be taken.
Mr.. Tillman wanted to krow why concessions
to foreign nations in the Philippines must be
granted in return for open door in China.
Mr.. Foraker replied that this country was
under no obligation except a moral one. We
want trade in the Orient" he said, land after
we have demanded entrance to China we
must grant one in the Philippines" He thought
the Philippines could not be dealt with it
was proposed to deal with Puerto Rico
Then" Mr.. Tillman asked, what becomes of
your contention of philanthropy of National
glory. of the humanitarian aspect?"
There is an easy answer to that" replied Mr..
Foraker, and the Senator cannot accomplish
anything by ridicule in that direction. We
want the point settled now, that we may know
where stand"
Then the contention said Mr. Tillman lis
that we can take Puerto Rico under our wing
and protect her to the utmost. but that we
cannot do the same thing for the Philippines"
Continuing, he asked why the President had
originally recommended free trade with Puerto
Rico and the House had brought in bill to
that end, only changing its course Of policy
after hearing from Mr.. Oxnard. the sugar
king"
Mr.. Foraker referred Mr.. Tillman 10 his COL
league (Mr Hanna). Il am not the keeper of
the Presidents confidence" he said Il have
no doubt. however. that the President spoke
from his highest conviction and best sentiment
No doubt he would prefer free trade with
Puerto Rico, I should but he probably

mulgated that message, and, knowing more IL
