FILIPINos TROUBLESOME.
Rebels Reorganizing in ZambaIes Province
-BrEeands Committing Atrocities in

Manila. March 19.AGen. Otis con-
siders Manila the most troublesome
center in the situation to-day. The
insurgent junta here, in conjunction
with that in Hong Kong, is growing
active. A number of representative
insurgent leaders from different parts
of Luzon have recently been in con-
ference in Manila. Some have been
placed under arrest, but the others
thus far have not been interfered
with.
Reports are current here OF active
rebel organization in the province of
Morong, where the insurgent leaders
are said to be assisted by prominent
Spanish residents. 1t is also report
ed that the rebels are recognizing in
the province of zambales, under
Mascardo. Brigands are committing
atrocities in the province of Nueva
Eciga, where they have murdered 20
natives and Cinnamon. The Nueva
Eciga insurgents are heavily taxing
local traders and farmers, with the
result that business is paralyzed and
there is a general scarcity of food.
The funds for maintaining this
guerrilla warfare are collected from
the various towns in the island,
whether occupied by the Americans
or not, even including Manila.
Travel between the towns garri-
soned by the Americans is becoming
more dangerous. All wagon trains
must be escorted by heavy guards
in order to insure their safety.

Missionary contributions in the
churches are becoming less and less,
according to statistics printed in the

crease is for home as well as for for

that of 9s1 white Baptist churches in
Illinois 5sz gave nothing to the home
mission society of the church, and
661 gave nothing to foreign missions
last year. Probably churches are
