They Give UP THE FIGHT
SURRENDER UNCOMFORTABLE
AND GIVE UP ARMS.

Manila, Jan. 14.-The full surrender
of the forces of Colonel M%arisigan,
(who with Major Cabrera and a rem
egade priest named Castillo gave
themselves up Internationally Janu-
airy 10, to General Bell, Who is con.
Quoting the campaign against the in
surgents in Battangas province, &C.
Cured today at Taal. The insurgents
created a surprise by bringing in 60
more rifles than the authorities
thought Marisigan could command in
the district of Taal, which he control
led. The Filipinos who surrendered
included three colonies, one major,
five captains and IL lieutenants. They
gave up 219 rifles and one cannon
All the insurgents who surrendered
did so Internationally. General Bell
ordered the men to be released.
Colonel Marisigan says he can pre-.
vail on many more men to surrender
during the next few days and also

REDUCTION OF DUTIES PRoPos-
ED BY REPUBLICANS.
BABCOCK BILL INTRODUCED
Heavy Articles Of the Foundry Go on
Free List-other Rates Strict
ly Protective.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Representa-
tive Babcock of Wisconsin today in
troduced a bill placing a number OF
articles of the iron and steel schedule
on the free list and materially re-
ducing the duties on other articles
throughout the iron and steel sched-
ule.
The presentation of this bill has
been waited with much interest on
account of the discussion arounsed
last year by a somewhat similar bill,
and MI. Babcock's position both as a
republican member of the ways and
leans committee and chairman of the
republican congressional committee.
The bill is more extended than that
of last year and was drawn after con-
ferences and correspondence with the
steel and iron interest. The purpose
being to place the rates on a strictly
protective basis. The articles plac-
ed on the free list are the heavy
products of the furnace, while the
rates on other articles of the schedule
average about half the present rates.

LEASING INDIAN LANDS
MATTER CALLED TO ATTENTION
OF THE CABINET.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Secretary
Hitchcock called the attention of the
cabinet today to the proposed leas-
ing of the west part of the Standing
Rock Indian reservation in the Da-
kotas and the protest of the Indian
Rights association against such &C
ton. He showed that III of the male
adult Indians of that agency have au-
thorized the leasing of the lands.
The proposed area for leasing ag-
gregates 1.229,76O acres, on which
about so Indian families reside. 1t
vas pointed out that the majority of
the Indians favor leasing their lands;
that the Indians are fully protected
by a clause in the lease form; that
the ranges will not be overstocked
and that the timber on the reservation
will not be denuded by the lessees
securing posts for fences. The leas-
ed land will be fenced to prevent tres
passing and the lessons will be requir-
ed to give sufficient bonds. The leas-
ing, it was stated, is fully authorized
by law.

AIMED AT UNITED STATES.
German Tariff Amendment Proposed
H in Committee. .-"..

Berlin, Jan. 14.-Baron Heyl Zu
H~errnsheim, national liberal, nropos-
ed an amendment to the tariff bill in
committee today. 1t was aimed at the
United States. The amendment au-
thorizes the government to apply to
imports from any foreign sta.e such
regulations respecting the consular
authorization of invoices of such i'm
ports, the declaration of theii market
value, and the costs of their produc-
ton, as may be enforced against
German exports.
The language of the amendment is
fashioned after the American law and
is regarded by the committee as un-
doubtedly designed to offset the Gus
toms requirements of the United
States and to satisfy the long stand
ing complaints of German manufac-
turers. Inquiry of some members CT
the committee has elected statements
which indicate that it is more than
likely to be adopted.

BREAK IN RYE FOUND PHILLIPS
UNPREPARED.
WAS ALSO LONG ON WHEAT
Amount involved is About 100000 and
Spectator Has Hopes OF Meet
ing All Obligations.

Chicago. Jan IA notice was
posted at the opening of the board of
trade calling for the closing of all
open deals with George H. Phillips,
the former Corn King
A heavy call for extra margins is
said to have been the cause for the
posting of the notice. The call was
made yesterday afternoon and Phil
lips and his staff worked all night over
the firms books. The trouble is said
to have been due to a 3k cent break
in rye, yesterday. Phillips is credited
with holding a line of 10000 BUSH
els, mostly in May options. The break
was caused by a sale of only 0 1000
bushels. Phillips is said to have on
his books also from four to five mil
lion bushels of May wheat and about
three million bushels of May corn.
The effect of the notice posted by
Secretary Stone was instantaneous,
the whole list opening off sharply.
Mr.. Phillips gave out a statemen in
part, as follows:
THE amount involved in my trouble
of today is about 100000. My GUS
toners had their trades we'll margin
ed; and if the trades closed out to-
day bring a fair price I can meet all
my obligations. I was long about
100000 bushels on rye and 5,0O0,O00
on wheat and GOO, 900 on corn and
oats. Saturday a member Of the
board interested in the break in the
rye market sent notices calling for
al extra margin Of 10 per cent on
rye. This naturally caused selling or
ders Monday and the representatives
Of the member mentioned finding the
market bare of orders forced the
market down 3 cents. This vas done
in a moment, and the news, flashed
all over the country, caused consterna-
ton among holders of rye contracts,
many of whom sold on a weak mar
ket. A decline of l cent in wheat,
coupled with rumors rejecting on my
strength, resulted in unusually heavy
calls for margins. I "a for the mo-
ment u~nprepared, and the only alter
native left was to close out. I have NO
Reuse to offer and no complaints to
make.

BASEBALL MACNATES MEET
LOOKING AFTER THE INTERESTS
OF MINOR LEAGUES.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.-The western
league of professional baseball clubs
and the National Association of Minor
leagues, met in this city today to
transact business in the mutual in
terests of the two organizations. The
sensation of the day was the expul-
sion of A. B. Beals, who held the
Minneapolis franchise, from the West
ern league. Beals, 1t is charged by
the magnates, violated the confidence
of the Western league by trading his
ball park in Minneapolis to George
Tebeau, for the park the latter owned
in Denver. +. T. Powers, president
Of the National Association of Minor
leagues, Secretary J. H. Farrell and
M. H. Sexton, chairman of the nation
al board of arbitration, all addressed
the meeting and promised the West
ern league the hearty support of the
National association. Other important
business transacted was the awarding
of the Denver franchise to D. G..
Packard and the appointment of COM
mittees to visit the cities applying
for admittance to the league. The re-
suit of Investigations of these COM
mittees will be reported to President
Whitfield, who will then make the
necessary selections to complete the
circuit.
