IN THE PHILIPPINES.

A Manila dispatch of July 9 says that
the forces of the insurgent leader Bel
larmino, which recently have been oper-
ating around Donsol, province Of Soro-
gon, were driven across the mountains
by the Second infantry aud finally cap
tured by the Sixth cavalry. Bellar-
mino, with 1000 men and PA rifles,
surrendered to Colonel Wint at Albay,
capital of the province of that name.
An Englishman named Howard, for
mer chief of Goronimo's artillery, is in
command of the insurgent forces in

to number 600 men, armed with rifles,
including several American desertors.

Congressman Hull of Iowa, who ac-
companied General Chaiioe in his south
ern tour, in an interview Mt Manila,
said the newly established provincial
governments are "hothouse plants, un.
able TO Withstand universities" Mr..
Hull believes that their natural richness
insures the eventual prosperity of the
islands, but that poverty and other OBJ
stacles will prevent the successful col
lection of land taxes. He believes that
the salaries. excepting those OF the clerks
and minor employees, are too high,
from the commissioners downward, aud
that the provinces ought to have fan
larger areas aud fewer officers. Mr.
Hull Is convinced that the natives In
general are not concerned about the

The London Daily Mail gives sensa-

Vlalxfontoin which attribute to the Beers
inhumnn atrocities that the censor
would not allow to be described by cable.

vigorously against the suppression by

$500 fo- the collection of overdue per-
sonal tax is again recommended. The SER
vices Of an experienced authorized collector
are indispensable for this purpose.
In order to collect this tax from many
persons who are liable for 1t a personal
demand must be made.
Increases in Salary.
Our recommendation for an increase of
$500 in the salary of the deputy collector,
which has heretofore received your ap-
proval, is again presented for favorable con-
sideration. and such action on your part
as will induce Congress to grant this we'll
deserved increase. The position Is one of
great responsibility. its duties exacting, and
1t has been aceptably and ably filled by
the incumbent, and the salary originally es-
timated for, 81, O0O is only fair compensa-
ton.
We also recommend that the salary of
bank messenger be increased to S1.2OO. This
position is one of responsibility and trust.
which the incumbent has filled with
entire satisfaction. He is required to give
bond, and in addition to performing his du-
ties as bank messenger he renders valuable
assistance to the Office before and after
bank hours, being an accurate and compe-
tent clerk.
Protection Against Loss.
1t is very important in the matter Of ad-
vertiSing and selling property for unpaid
manner tha. will protect the District from
loss. We have recommended. in former re-
ports, that Congress be asked for authority
to divide and apportion all charges for spe-
cial assessments against an original lot
among its subdivisions, as the only means
to this end, and urgently renew our recon-
mendations. No action being taken on our
recommendation, we have continued to ad-
vertlse such assessments in full against
each subdivision of an original lot All such
collections made in this way are illegal,
subject to refund, and a loss to the Dis
trict, according to opinion of the attor-
ney for the District. AS this method
jeopardizes the collection of thousands of
dollars of unpaid assessments on original
lots which have been subdivided. 1t Is I'M
portant that action be taken in the matter,
in order that the District may protect its
interests.

Land In London.

From the London Chronicle.
The sensational sales Of land in the city
are really not SO sensational after all. That
a freehold on Cornhill-No. 36-should have
sold little over f53 3s. per square foot is
surprising, but not so surprising as the sale
of the st. Peters-upon-Cornhi land. which
fetched a few months ago over eco pounds
a foot. Land within furlong radius Of
the Bank Of England Is worth about shil-
lings an inch. AS you get away from that
enchanted circle land becomes less dear
to call 1t cheaper would scarcely state the
bare truth. At the top Of Cheapside, 500
feet were sold last week for fla, ,0OO this
means f28 a square foot. No wonder that
the great city companies--most of whom
are land owners within the zone square
mile" known as the city-are 'gorged with
plunder," to use Mr.. Gladstone's immortal
phrase. which set the city-once the strong
hold Of liberalism-so dead against him.
