 ing on Washington.

Washington, March 5.-A mall just In surgent leaders are resorting to all kinds of deceptions and subterfuges to retain control. One insurgent commander re- gently issued a proclamation saying that now is the time to strike decisive blow for Filipino independence. and adding:
 "The United States is in the midst of a bloody civil war. The coal miners in Pennsylvania have risen against the gov ernment and at Chicago great battle was fought in which 1900 regular soldiers were killed. An army of anti-imperial- ists is besieglng Washington. Roosevelt will be deposed and Doctor Bryan pro- claimed President on the fourth of July next"
 Think Germany Will Help Them.
 In circular letter to his subordinate officers which was to be published far and wide for the informat ton of the peo- ple a rebel lieutenant colonel declared that the junta central at Hong Kong had received a cablegram from Berlin in- forming them that the Emperor of Ger many was about to confer upon General Malvar a grand decoration and that in the insurgent government of all claims to the Caroline Islands which formerly belonged to the Philippines but had not yet achieved their independence, Ger many would supply the insurgents here free of charge where, behind new rifles and 1000, GOO Mauser cartridges.
 Within the last month It is asserted Russia would declare war against the United States and a Russian fleet that had already arrived at Cavite would sink all the American ships, even as Dewey had destroyed the armada of the Spanish in 1898.
 Insurgents Winning Victories.
 So even if the outlook in their immedi- ate vicinity should appear to be almost hopeless, the letter declared 1t always must be remembered that the insurgents were winning great victories in other places so no one should be discouraged.
 Another peculiar tale said the Ameri- cans now have a chaplain with every regiment for the reason that the number of Americans killed by the insurgents had increased so greatly that the chap lains with the army year ago was in- sufficient to receive the dying confess sions of the soldiers killed in battle
 Although the United States was con- sidered a Protestant nation. so many Americans were sent to hell from the Philippines, according to the story, that all christendom was scandalized and the Pope of Rome commanded the President to send more chaplains to the islands.

Probably the oldest position in con-

England is that OF the royal rat
catcher. His business is to superin-
tend all felines kept at the palace,
to assist them in their work of catch
ing rats, while mouse traps and poi
sons are also brought into requisition
and woe to the rat or mouse that
comes from his hole to investigate.
For his work of extinction the royal
rat catcher receives 1915, which is
paid to him annually by the committee
OF the supply of the house of com
mons, who consider the vote of
these wages at every session.
