Earthquake at Manila.
MANILA, Dec. 16.-General J. Frank
lin Bell has been exceedingly active In
Batangas province, where he intends
by every means available TO stamp out
the insurrection. There are daily small
fights between the insurgents and the
men of General Belts command In
which the former are almost invaria-
bly, routed. Lieutenant Hennessy Of
the Eighth infantry, together with one
American scout and six Filipinos, cap
tured an insurgent major, with forty
two men, twenty-five rifles and $50
rounds of ammunition, without the loss
of man.
A number Of captured documents
and papers now In the hands Of Gener-
al Bell implicate in the insurrection the
presidente and other prominent natives
Of Liam. Batangas province. General
Bell has notified the natives In Batan-
gas that on Dec. 2S he purposes to con-
centrate them In the neighborhood of
the towns. He will move their live
stock, rice, etc, within the limits of
concentration. After this date every
thing outside these limits will be con-
fEcated.
The roads from Batangas and Lagu-
ma provinces are lined with a contiDu-
Gus stream of native men, women and
children In carryalls, carts and mount
ed on carabaos seeking safety from the
horrors of war. The column under
Colonel Theodore J. Wint of the Sixth
cavalry is tireless in Its operations
against the insurgents and has receiv-
ed high praise from the military au-
th0rities.
The insurgent general Torres, who
was found guilty by military COM
mission of ordering the assassination
of an American corporal and sentenced
to be hanged, but whose sentence was
disapproved by General Chaffee, broke
down when he was released. He said
1t was just that his life be spared be-
cause he was innocent of the crime i'm
puted to him. He has expressed his
highest regard and warmest feelings
for General Chafree and his apprscia-
tion that the supreme military power
in the Philippines Is in the hands of
such man. Torres says he Is submis-
sive to the existing conditions.
Patterson, the English secretary to
Slxto Lopez, who was expelled from
the Philippines for refusing to swear
allegiance to the United States, has
left for Hongkong on the United States
army transport Warren.

THERE are several merchants in

who make 1t possible for our large

they are the ones who purchase

this reason we have contended
that the REPUBLICAN was one Of
the best advertising mediums in
Wilmington. It's readers are among
The most intelligent o! the city and
are numbered by the thousands.
The REPUBLICAN under its new
management has gone ahead and

Doctors Disagree but Majority Speak
H.. .la' Well of This Fruit. ~.
The theory has been advanced by
some learned authorities that the an
pie is not wholesome article of food.
Doubtless in individual cases this has
proven to be the case, but it is hard
to believe that fruit that almost every
one likes, and one which can be grown
freely and in practically unlimited
Quantities in all temperate climates,
was not intended for the, use of man.
Ihere are other authorities, however,
who come to the rescue and so highly
recommend the apple that We conclude
that where doctors disagree we must
depend upon our own Judgment and
experience. 70 quote from we'll.
known American authorities. the apple
is composed of vegetable fiber, albu-
men, sugar, acid, gum, chlorophyl, ma
Tic and gallo acids, lime and water,
and contains as well larger percent
age OF. phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. This analysis would in
create that there must be considerable
iood value in apples, and on account
OF the phosphorus they are well adapt
ed for renewing the essential nervous
matter. There is an old Scandinavian
legend to the effect that what was
represented in their traditions as the
Iood for the gods was resorted to by
them when they felt themselves grow
