Capture Of Arms.

General Bell continues to capture arms
and men in the Third Brigade. as well as
receiving surrenders almost daily. Since
December he has secured nearly $500
guns OF various kinds, and presume that
at least three thousand men have been
captured or surrendered in the same time
ITO show how difficult it is to accom-
lish our task down there, we are daily
finding arms and picking up men and re-
ceiving surrenders on the very ground
that has been most carefully covered or
gone over with large force spread out
during the first two weeks of January.
What We are getting now were secreted
then. and we have no knowledge that even
we shall succeed entirely in obtaining all
the arms secreted there, or throughout
the country. 1t Is very important that
We get hold of all the arms possible. for
IL is with these arms that the ladropes
will create trouble with when military
operation ceases. In Cavite province.
which adjoins Manila, we are satisfied
that there are many arms secreted but
these will probably remain hidden for a
long time.
II think | mentioned in one of nv pre-
vious letters that General Bell had met
on the road Major Luna. of Malvars
staff, and that he turred him loose to
visit Malvar in order to have a talk with
him. Since then we have heard nothing
of Malvar or Major Luna.

ceived from General Bell day before yes

requested that letter he had written

ferred. be taken TO him by himself 1t
appears that Dancel has lately been in
HOngkong, where he had a talk with the
junta. The junta authorized him 10 say
to Malvar that he might surrender; that
they believed he ought to do so, as it was
now to the advantage of the junta and

Two Reasons for Conditions.

BY two large retail meat dealers two
diametricly opposed explanations of the
advance in the price of meat were alsanc-
ed The first one said:
During the past three months 100000
pounds of beef has been shipped abroad.
The amount exported every month Will
continue TO increase. That's the reason
the prices are high here. American pack
ers are trying to undersell the foreign
beef dealers. This condition viii continue

The other retail dealer said:
