Mr.. Hanna said that beyond the

Insurgents of Leyte to be QueIIed by
Vigorous BIockade--Commis
sioner Wright Now Vice
Governor of Islands.

Manila, Nov. "a plot to massacre
the American garrison ut Moncada,
province Of Tarlac, island Of Luzon,
has been revealed by the wife of one of
the conspirators.
Several Uf the town officials are i'm
plicated in the murderous scheme.
The woman who revealed the plot hid
a detective beneath Il house in which
the leaders of the conspiracy were
meeting. Arrests followed, and many
discriminating papers We're seized.
The plan was to set fire to a house
close to the barracks after dark and
when the soldiers came out to assist in
extingushing the flames 100 conspira-
tors, armed with bolos, were to rush
on the guard, capture their arms and
proceed to massacre the garrison.

General Smith replied that the strict
est kind Of a blockade would be con-
tinued until the people of Leyte
brought in their guns and gave the au-
thorities full information concerning
the insurgents who infest the country.
All the arguments of the officials of the
towns were unavailing.
General Smith has ordered the de-
portation of the wife of General LUX.
ban, leader of the Samar revolutionists.
The wife Of General Lukban was the
main cause of the refusal Of the Samar
insurgents to surrender. Some of the
principal men who have been captured
are willing that their wives be held as
hostages while they go into the field fol
the purpose OF persuading their rela
tives to surrender.
Four native police officers were killed
and their horses captured at Baybay
