Insurgents MORE ACTIVE
SEVERAL PLOTS DISCOVERED.
snmar Is One Of Their Headquarters
Also ut Carbixn-Their Plan to At
tack Frustrnted-Leader Arrested
-Officers Look for Hard FIxhtius
-ReinfOrcen,ents Sent There.

Manila. Oct. 22.-Owing to the viai-
lance of Lieutenant Thomas M.
Barnes. Jr., of the Ninth United
States infantry, another slaughter of
American troops by the insurgents
has been averted. II seems that Lieu
tenant Baines discovered a prisoner
re-entering a cell at Carbiga, island OF
Samar. where several prisoners were
confined, through hole that had been
made in the wall. An investigation
showed plan to fill the Jail with bolo-
men and to call the guard, which
would be necessary to get the door
open, and then to attack the garrison.
1t also developed that the instigators
were priest and the presidente, both
of whom have been arrested, together
with several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discov.
cred. but fortunately frustrated, at
Pambugan and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested
in connection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma.
rines, under Lieutenant Colonel Man
ell c. Gooddrell, have gone there on
Ioard the cruiser New York and two
battalions Of the Twelfth infantry will
start Immediately for the same desti.
nation, Officers Of the other provinces
that have been supposed to be paci-
fed have recently arrived in Manila
and they say that the news Of Ameri.
can disaster spread like wildfre
among natives, who scarcely attempt
70 conceal their delight.
The Manila constabulary discovered
large number of steel wagon springs
which were being shipped to various
districts. Investigation showed that
these were to be used In manufactur-
ing bolos.
The troops In Samar anticipate
hard fighting. Brigadier General ia
cob II. Smith, who is in command. has
visited most of the ports and instruct,
ID the commanders that the insur-
rection must be hammered out and
General Lekban. the insurgent leader,
captured. Already the movement OF
troops has begun.
General Lacuna. who surrendered
last May, has complained to General
Chaffee that the terms upon which he
md his force surrendered have not
been respected by the Americans. He
exhibits a document signed by him.
self and General Frederick Funston.
In which he and his force are granted
immunity in respect to all acts except
those committed contrary to the laws
OF war.
Since this document was executed
several OF Lacunas officers and men
have been tried, condemned and sen.
fenced to death. General Funston
says that when It was signed he gave
Iacuna orally to understand that the
killing OF American prisoners was ex-
cepted. Lacuna admits that some
thing was said on the subject, but
says no thorough understanding was
had. and he considers the written
agreement binding.

LARGE FIRE AT SYDNEY; C. B.
Principal Business Portion of the
Town burned.

Halifax, N. s.. Oct. 21.-The pros,
porous and thriving town of Sydney,
Cape Breton, was almost swept out of
existence by fierce conflagration The
flames, which were famed by a As
mile gale, swept through the principal
business portion of the town. causing
ruin and devastation. Four blocks of
the finest business buildings are in
ashes.
The firemen were greatly handicap
ped at the outset by the poor supply
of water. The fire started in three
story frame building on Charlotte
street, occupied by A. d. Giles and
Gordon & Keith. When the flremen
arrived on the scene the building was
burning fercely and the wind was
blowing the flames over the tops of
the adjoining buildings. In a very
short time the fire spread to the build
ings occupied by Carr. jeweler;
Blanchard. Bentley & Co, and the
Maritime Premium company. Then II
spread to some small buildings on the
opposite side Of the street and jumped
to the large department store of
Prowse Bros. & Crowell which was
soon doomed. The whole town was
then threatened.
Assistance was sent for and the fire
departments Of North Sydney and
Glace Bay responded. and on arrival
got quickly to work. but every effort
tn or hn 40 nfu he,
fire swept from Charlotte to Prince
streets. and as far south as George
street. carrying everything before 1t.
Half an hour after the fire started one
quarter Of the business portion Of the
town was In flames.
The towns water supply now gave
out. and the engines had to be sent
to the harbor to pump water.
At 4:30 two Of the business blocks
were destroyed and the fire spread to
Rentick street, and half an hour later
Bruce, George, Bentick and Charlotte
streets were mass of fire. The
miners resorted to the use of dyna,
mite and several buildings were blown
up with but little effect, as the strong
wind carried the burning embers to
other buildings.
The fine building belonging to the
Union bank Of Halifax and the Baptist
and Presbyterian churches were soon
destroyed.
At O'Clock the fire had reached the
east end of Charlotte street. and here
its progress was STAYED.
