Washington, Dec. 20.-Advices have
reached here from Manila to the effect
that the bands of ladrones which are
harassing the population of the ISL
ands are Ia many instances led by ne
groes who nave been discharged from
the army and are employing their mill

and organizing them in a crude mill

In the province of Bulucan it is I'M
derstood that a band of 300 ladrones,
led by an American negro, are Schem-
ing to wipe out the constabulary and
that four miles out from the town of
Caloocan four American blacks are en-
gagged in drilling a large number of
highwaymen in military tactics and
training them in the use of firearms.
Because of the increasing activity of
the ladrones, the continued withdrawal
and concentration of troops in the ISL
ands is causing apprehension among the
INHABITANTS OF manyprOvinces who have
depended wholly upon the military for
protection. Ladrones are said to be

Senator Perkins of California
Has introduced a Bill to Set
Aside Certain Areas.
Especial to The HeraId.A

Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Per-
kins of California today introduced a
Dill authorizing the president to set
aside areas within forest reserves to
be preserved as breeding places for
wild animals. birds and fish, Within
these areas all hunting, fishing and kill
ing of game is to be prohibited at all
times. The senator has drawn his
bill along lines recommended by the
president and with the further view to
largely do away with state protection
over game within the reserves.
A bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Warren and the house
by Representative MondeI granting
railroads and water companies right of
way through government reservations
and public lands for reservoirs and
pipe lines. The bill provides that such
right Of way shall be ground occupied
by the water of the reservoir and fifty
feet outside of the marginal lines
thereof. and twenty-five feet in width
each side of center lines of pipe lines:
also permits the right to take from
lands adjacent to the reservoir and
pipe lines the earth. stone and timber
necessary for construction. Railroad
or water companies may within twelve
months after location of reservoir and
pipe lines file in the local land office a
map of same and upon approval thereof
by the interior department, the same
shall be noted upon the land office plats,
and lands over which rights of way
pass shall be disposed. of subject to
such right of way. Companies own
ing reservoirs or pipe lines heretofore
constructed are granted the privileges
conferred by the bill.
Representative Mondell has intro
duced a bill increasing the penalty i'm
posed upon persons committing crimes
against Indians. Under the present law
one years imprisonment is the maxi
mum penalty for stealing the property
Of Indians, regardless of the value of
the property taken In many instances
large numbers of Indian cattle and
other property have been taken, and
upon conviction guilty parties have
been required to serve but one years
imprisonment. Under the Mondel bill
the penalty imposed is one years i'm
priSonment If the property taken is
not worth over S25, If over that amount
the punishment shall be Imprisonment
for not less than one year nor more
than fourteen years.

WORST IN TEN YEARS.
Heavy Loss of Sheep and Cattle on
the Range.


Denver, Dec 20.-A special to the
republican from Hugo, Colo, SAYS:
The worst blizzard in ten years has
been raging here for the last thirty
six hours, and although the sky is
clearing, the wind is still blowing a
gale. Passenger train No. 8, due in
Denver at o'clock this morning. is
oloekaded at Lake Siding, fourteen
miles west of here, and one or two
trains are reported off the track at
Limon. The snow pillow has not yet
reached here from Cheyenne Wells,
only seventy miles east of here The
storm is a particularly bad one for
stock on the range, as cattle are in
poor condition, and it is feared that
losses viii be heavy. One band of
1000 sheep is reported lott three miles
west of Huga. A Kansas City COM
mission firm had LOO head of cattle
on the way from the southern part Of
the country to ship from Hugo tomor-
row, and the men in charge of this
herd were compelled to turn the cattle
loose on the prairie. This viii occasion

TO regather the. herd. and many of the
cattle will no doubt perish in the

the snow is stu drifting in the strong
wind. No losses of life have yet been

Mr. Morgan then addressed the sen
ate on the question of the isthmian

OF these agreements he cnara cterized
as masterful act, and said they were
about TO be trodden under foot Why
this was true was not a question for a
Democrat to solve but he csuld at any
rate say ne did not agree with the
nlnd7readers and spirit mediums who
had since declared that Mr. Mckinley
did mt mean what ne said in the con-
tracts.
He then went on to express arN~ehen-
sion that if the United States did not
avail itself of the opportunity to build
a canal by the Nicaraguan route none
would be built, and he said the appro-
priati0n of $3.50, 600 for the construc-
ton of the canal could probably be COW

Attention was called TO the fact that
under the Colombian law only the con-
gfeSs of that country can ratify a trea-
w. There had been no congress there
since 1899. and there was not likely to
be. any unless the Panama Canal COM
pany should pay its expenses out of the
S3,OOO.0O0 on hand or the SAC, 600, 900
promised by the United States. He
therefore expressed apprehension that
a treaty that might be accepted by this
government would fail of action in Col
ombia.
A Lame Opinion.
After quoting from the concession
granted to the liquidation of the old
Panama Canal company. which Mr..
Morgan said was also made law of
Colombia, he said:
1T is surprise to jurists and lay
men alike in our country that the at
torney general in his opinion given to
the president on the right and power
of the new Panama Canal company to
revoke a title to the United States of
its property in Panama, omitted to no.
tice the prohibition in the concessions
and in the laws of Colombia, through
which it derived all its property rights
in Colombia"

2 O'Clock, when the senate went into

w session of less than three hours
the senate today adjourned until
Jan. 5 next. Today's session was
largely given up to an address by Sem
ator Morgan upon the question of the
construction Of the isthmian canal. The
senator declared that it would be in
the interest of the United states to re-
sumo negotiations with Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA. with the view of utilizing
the Nicaraguan route. for the reason
that, as he believed, if we should con-
unue to depend upon the Panama route
we would never have a canal

conferees had yielded to the SIS per

instead of $40 as fixed by the senate.
The report was agreed to.
Mr. Lodge, of the committee on Phil
ippines, reported the Philippine cur
reney bill and gave notice that as the
measure is important he would call
1t up during the morning hour of the
senate at the earliest moment. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the bill would
not lead TO prolonged debate.
A bill authorizing the payment of
judgments amounting to $1,000, 900 to
