REBELS HARASS AMERICANS
ADOPT AGGRATATING TACTICS
 AGAINST GARRISONED TOWNS.
Maintain Constant Fire on the Outposts but Scatter When Troops Mako Q Sally Return When Americans Rettre-- shoot Burning Arrows-Geh. Schwan and His Stnfr Fired On.

Manila, Feb. 11.-10:50 D. rn.-Of late
 the insurgents in Albay province, Lu-
 zon, have adopted harassing tactics
 against the towns which the Americans have garrisoned. They camp in the hills and maintain constant fire up-
 on the American outposts. When the
 troops sally against them they scatter,
 returning when the Americans retire.
 They shoot burning arrows, and have
 thus burned a large part of the town
 or Albay Indeed most of the larger
 towns in that province are practically
 deserted, except by the garrisons.
 Scarcely any of the inhabitants return
 to their homes. They are camping in
 the interior and 1t ia supposed armed insurgents prevent them going back. It Is reported that there is much suffering among them owing to lack of food. As a result of these conditions the hemp business in that section is seriously hindered, and ships going for cargoes are compelled to take gangs of cooIies to do their loading Hemp held in tho interior is quite inaccessible
 Colonel Bell will take two regiments and battery through the provinces of North Camarines and South Camarines, going there on transports. Many in- surgenta have retreated to that part of the island from Cavite and Batangas provinces. Another expedition to gar- rison towns along the north coast of the town of Mindanao will start shortly.
 Guerilla warfare is continued south of Manila. General Schwan, while re- turning to Manila, with his staff and an escort of hundred cavalry, from Patangas waa attacked by the Ninsur- " gents. The latter were dispersed but the Americans had five men wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Beacon with six companies of the Forty second infan- try, had two hours fight with Gener- al Pia Del Pilar'a command, which at- tempted to ambush the Americans on the trail through Morong province near the river Here also the insurgents were dispersed, but the Americans had several wounded. among them a cap- tain.
 The plague still continues. Eight cases were reported last week among the natives and Chinese. There is no excitement, howevr, and business and social life are undisturbed. Smallpox Is prevalent among the natives along the railroad and in the towns on the northern coast. Two American officers have died of the disease and several sol- diera have been stricken.

Demonstration.
 Paris, Feb. 1.-The funeral of the famous Russian nihilist, Peter Lavrosi,
 to-day, was the occasion of a big social- istic demonstration. Delegates repre- senting revolutionary associations in all parts of Europe attended and marched in long procession from his late resi- dence on the Rue St. Jacques to the cemetery of Mont Parnasse. The ad- vance of the demonstration was marked by unceasing and increasing shouts of ''Vive la commune and ''Vive PAnar- chic" and the singing of La Carmag- nola" and other revolutionary songs.
 The procession was headed by Ms Rene Viviano, radical socialist, one of the deputies for the department of the Seine, and a half dozen other socialist members of the chamber. When the cemetery was reached, number of red flags were produced and waved. The police tried to seize these, and several free fights ensued. The uproar in- creased until M. Viviano induced the police to return the flags on condition that they should not again be unfuTled. Then followed score of addresses at the graveside by French deputies Rus- sian professors and others. several stu- dents being among the speakers. Ulti- mately the assembly dispersed with- out disorder.

 isIative Session in Frankfort-Doubt
 as to Whether Democrats VIII Attend.
 Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 11.-All day long troops have poured out of Frankfort on a special train, and tonight only the soldiers from Covington, Newport, Lexington and Morgantown are camp ed in the capitol square. The leaving of the troops was the only feature in the political situation in Frankfort to- day.
 Governor Taylor remained quietly at the executive mansion to-day. Adju- tant General Collier said tonight that a few companies of infantry would be kept on duty here for a short time to guard the public buildings. They would, he said, interfere in no way with the actions of the members of the legislature.
 Six republican members came from London tonight and the remainder are expected tomorrow No intimation has been received as to whether the democratic members of the legislature would adjourn their session at Louis vile and come to Frankfort to take part In the general session. It is be- lieved here, however, that they will do so, probably by the latter part of the week.

PERHAPS FATALLY INJURED.
Henry Ives Crushed Between Tender
 and Caboosc This Morning.

unO II CADOOso rms Morning,
 Henry Ives of 354 Washington avenue, a fireman on switch engine at the freight yard of the Consolidated road, was seriously and probably fatally in- jured about 12:45 o'clock this morning near the Long wharf crossing. The en- zine was backing up to a caboose and in some way Ives was caught between the tender and the caboose and terribly crushed. Whether he was about to make the coupling and slipped, or how he happened to get caught, no one could say definitely this morning. The police ambulance was summoned and respond ed quickly. In it the injured man was taken to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that his chest was crushed in and one collarbone broken. In addi- tion to this he received bad bruises and it was thought probable at the hospital that he had sustained internal injuries. His condition was considered extremely critical and slight hopes of his recovery were entertained. MT. Ives is twenty eight years of age and is married man. He is a son of George l.. Ives, formerly assistant superintendent of streets.
 When the request for an ambulance was telephoned to police headquarters this morning and the urgent need of haste was known the ambulance was hustled out by Driver Wall Nand the rap- idity with which he and Signal Officer Bradley worked may be appreciated from the fact that from the time thev left the station until they returned af- ter going to the freight yard, from there to the hospital and then back to the police station only twenty-three minutes elapsed.

Cairo, Feb. 11.-Oficial investigation shows thta only few Egyptian officers, all of them young men, were involved in the trouble with the two Soudanese battaions, whom they had advised not to obey the order to give up cartridges It seems that the implicated officers had become excited over Anglophobe ar ticles published by the Liwa, which praised the Iransvaal and advised the Egyptians to take advantage of British distractions in South Africa.

French Perhaps gIns Jof n rd Butler.

London, Feb. 1.-The mention in the dispatch of Lord Roberts to the war of flee yesterday of General Clements as commanding at Reneberg is interpreted to show that General French with his cavalry has gone to join General Butler. The unexpected strength and activity of the Boers at Rensberg, where they are rather pressing the British than being pressed by them, causes anxiety.

Modder River, Feb 10.-Lord Roberts is here. Upon appearing before the troops on Friday he was enthusiastic cally cheered. He visited the camp of the Highland Brigade this morning and complimented General Macdonald and his men upon their steady conduct at Koodoesberg Drift.
 Apparently the Boers have brought all their big guns from Mafeking to shell Kimberley. Our naval guns shelled Magersfontein to-day, but the Boer guns were silent. It is supposed that the enemy have withdrawn their artil- lery They are blowing up the pern1a- nent way beyond Merton Siding. The Boers still man their trenches; but their numbers are apparently reduced. The bulk of their force has gone to Kim berley or toward our flank.
