FILIPINOS GIVE UP ARMS
HE RIFLES AND CONSIDERdBLE AMMUNITION SUPERINTENDENT.

The Incident Occurs iu Bulacon-Gen-
 eral MacArthur Cables That It is Im- portant and Indicates a Great Re- action Favorable to Americans in That District-The Region the Worst in Luzon.
 Washington, Feb. 15.-News of anoth- CT important surrender in the Philip pines is contained in the following dis patch received at the war department from General Macarthur:
 Manila, Feb. 15. "Adjutant General, Washington:
 'One hundred and twelve rifles and 1,500 rounds of ammunition surrendered at Haganey, February 13, mostly from supply secreted in contiguous swamps. The incident is important and indicates great reaction favorable to the Amer ican interest in the region of Buacan, heretofore one of the worst in Luzon
 
 by the long continued, intelligent and persistent efforts of officers of the Third United States infantry.
 Signed: ''MacArthur."
 Manila, Feb. 15.-Colonel Marcus D. Cronin and eighty men of the Thirty third regiment have routed hundred insurgents at Oandon, South Ilocos. Captain Green, with fifty men, met a force of the enemy at Santa Maria. There was hard fighting for three hours. When their ammunition was exhausted the Americans retired a short distance. The insurgents then abandoned their position and retreated southward. Gold discoveries of some importance have been made in the Province of Lepanto Two miners made S3,OOO in two weeks.
 Dagupin, Province of Pangasinan, Luzon, Feb. 15.-It is not likely that provincial government will be estab- ltshed in Tarlac at present, although Tarlac is the third in the programme of the commission. General Smith com manded the district of which the Prov ince of Tarlac IS a part and General Grant, commanding the district adjoin- ing both, replied to the commissioners that while they recommended the or ganization of government in Pangasi- nan, and Pampanga, north and south of Tarlac, the province itself was not prepared for the innovation, many of the men being still in the mountains and the people being to a large extent insurgent sympathizers.
 Judge Taft and his associates will proceed to Tarlac, according to their programme; but, after public meet ing at which provincial government will be promised as soon as the prov ince is ready for it, the commissioners will probably announce that the work of organization is deferred The Octagonal bamboo theater of Dagupin was the scene of the public consideration of the bill applying pro- vincial government to the Province of Pangasinan. The discussion developed the fact that the natives contended for high official salaries, but low taxes. Four barrios of Nueva Ecija petitioned to be added to Pangasinan and this matter was much discussed. The bill will probably be passed.

It did good, but farm burning has now been stopped"
