former Californian, who was arrested
in February last ON the charge of fur
nishing supplies to aid the insurgents,

last month, is going to the United
States shortly and has asked for the

probably it will be returned after the
lnsurrection is over.
Gen. Summer has returned here and
has reported to Gen. Wade the failure
of negotiations for the surrender Of
Cailles, the insurgent leader in La
auna province. The Filipino apparent
ly believes he can hold out, now that
the rainy season has begun. Disap-
pointment is felt here at the backward
conditions in southern Iuzon. Some
insurgent camps have been discovered
and destroyed. Lieut. Cowen, with a
detachment Of so men, killed five IN
