cHArFEE REPORTS. :
Presents an Interesting Statement
of Military Situation In the
Philippines.

Manila, Jan. 20.-Gen. Chaffee, In
the annual report which has just
been issued, sums up the situation
from the military point Of view by
saying that the provinces OF Batan-
gas and Laguna, in southern Luzon,
and the islands of Samar, Mindoro
and Cebu constitute the disturbed
area in which bodies of insurgents
in force are to be found. Gen. Chat
fee says the prolongation of guerrilla
warfare is due to the physical char
acter of the country and to the M
ture of the warfare carried on by the
insurgents, who in the same hour
pose as friends and act as enemies;
to the humanity displayed by the
American troops, of which the insur-
gents take advantage, and to the fear
of assassination on the part of those
natives who are friendly disposed to-
ward the Americans should they give
the latter information concerning the
movements or whereabouts of the in
surgents. Municipal and provincial
governments are being organized.
HcSC governments nav INV ~ ~
ceived practical trial. They con-
stitute the only certain and reliable
method of ascertaining the progress
of the Filipinos toward self-govern-
ment.
A report has been received here
that dug-out canoe, in which IL
men of company of the Second in
fantry were travelling, is missing and
is probably lost. 1t is believed the
men either perished or were cap
tured.
Gen. Wade has cabled from Cebu
that 365 insurgents surrendered on
the island of Bohol last Friday. The
authorities here say that this state
ment is astonishing If accurate, as
the secret service had failed to learn
of the existence of any such body of
insurgents on Bohol.
An important capture was made in
Laguna province, Luzon, when eight
men of the Eighth infantry captured
woman insurgent named Aqueda
Kahabagan. She recently command
ed an insurgent force OF 500 men, 800
of whom carried rifles, while 500 were

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
Terrible Catastrophe Reported from

Estimated Killed.

Mexico City, Jan. 1S.-One of the
most terrible catastrophes in the his
tory of the state of Guerrero is re-
ported to have occurred late Thurs
day afternoon, when an extremely
violent earthquake shock was felt at
Chilpancingo, causing n great loss
of life and injuring many persons.
Details from the stricken district are
very meager, but scattering reports
received here indicate that probably
800 persons were killed and as many
more injured. 1t is known that the
state capitol, the parish church and
many business houses and residences
are in ruins, and there is much suf-
fering as result of the awful seis-
mic disturbance.
Earthquake shocks were felt in
many other cities and towns. In
Mexico City the earthquake took
place at 5:17 o'clock Thursday after
noon and was of such violence as to
shake the most substantial buildings.
The Pan-American congress was in
session at the time and many of the
delegates were greatly alarmed. The
first movement here was one of
trepidation and was very sharp. 1t
was followed by an easy oscillatory
movement, north-northeast to south
southwest. The duration was IS sec
onds. The damage in this city was
only slight.
The state of Guerrero has ALWAYS
been the focus of seismic disturb
ances. Reports received here state
that the shock was very severe at
Chilapa. No casualties are so far
