NJ Hagenbock was spitted on a bamboo and was being roasted over a fire. The say ages were about to cut him up. l waited my fate. l was afraid to move. My head hurt me dreadfuly. All around me the ground was strewn with corpses. Sud- denly a great clamor arose. followed by a fusilade. l opened my eyes and saw Dr. Foriter and the remainder of the mission from the yacht firing on the can nibals. I shouted and the rescuers ran to me and cut the bonds which bound me to the tree. The cannibals fled leaving thirty-two dead. The clothes of NJ Vries were found but his body was missing.

RESURRECTION
 IS CLEANED UP
GEN. FRANKLIN BELL HAS DONE GREAT WORK IN BATANZAS PROVINCE. TROOPS HAVING MADE CLEAN SWEEP.

Manila February 16.-General J. Frank lin Bell has practicallE cleaned up the insurrection in Batangas province, the troops under his command having made a clean sweep of the district. It is not believed all the insurgent arms have been com pleted or surrendered but that num- Der of them have been taken by the in- surgents to other provinces or safely hidden. The increase of robber bands in the provinces of Tayabas and Cavite show the effects of the drastic measures adopted in Batangas and Laguna pro vinces General Bell says the people of these latter provinces never realized the terrors of war until they personally ex- perienced it's hardships, owing to the closing of the ports and the concen- tration of the natives in the towns.
 General Bell believes that the insurgent leader Malvar is becoming exceedingly unpopular with the Filipinos and that when the natives cease to fear his ven- geance many will be found willing to betray him.
 What has been said of Batangas pro- vince applies almost equally to Laguna.
