but Skipped Bonds-Constabuiary
Hurryins to Suppress Rebellion.

five miles north of Bayonbong. The
telegraph wires north of Bayonbong

Colonel Taylor. al the head of the
constabulary at Bayonbong,s is prepar-
ing for an attack, and the constabulary
forces from other points are moving
towards Solana with the purpose of
surrounding the outlaws and making
certain their capture or death. Gov
ernment reinforcements are availab BILE
if they should prove to be needed.
Leader Mandac's Motive Explained.
Washington, Sept. Mail despatch
es received at the war department to-
day brought detailed accounts of the
disfavor into which Simeon Mandac
had fallen since his election to the
last January. 1t is taken to explain
the motive of Mandac in organizing the
present uprising.
He lost his position as governor as
a result of a charge of the murder of
one Deogracias Agcanas at Laog, the
capital of the province of Ilocos. on
March II. Agcanas and seven others
had been arrested as accompIices in
the killing of a horse in the night
time. Upon investigation by a local
official they were released.
Kicked Prisoner in the Stomach.
Thereupon, it is alleged that Gov
ernor Mandac made q star chamber
investigation and maltreated the pris-
oners to force confession going so
far as to kick Agcanas in the stomach.
From the internal injuries Agcanas
thus received, it is alleged, he died the
following day.
Took Appeal and Skipped Bonds.
Mandac was arrested and tried on
charge of homicide before Judge P. M.
Moir. was convicted and sentenced to
for fourteen years An
appeal was taken to the supreme court
of the Philippines and Mandac was
released on 5000 bonds. Suddenly
Mandac disappeared and all the at
tempts of the bondsmen the constab-
ulary and the secret service to discover
him failed. At his home it was said
that he had gone to BuIacan to find
new bondsmen, but he could not be
found there.

New York. Sept. 1-While New
York, according to the English census
returns of 1909, is still 2,662,S57 souls
behind London in the race for the
greatest city of the world, she is 50
far ahead of the other great cities of
the globe that there is little likelihood
of any of them catching her in many
decades. The census of 1909 showed
Greater London's population to be T.
429,740 as against 6,5S1,372 in 1901.
That New York is slowly catching

ten years was 1,329.6S1.

PUBLIC DEBT INCREASES
BY NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS.
Government Report for Second Month
of FISCAL Year.

Washington, Sept. with an in
crease of s3,273,32 in the public debt
and total deficit of s17. 81 / ,46S0S, the
United States treasury closed the sec
ond month of the fiscal year, keeping
on an even keel, all circumstances con-
sidered, with a working balance of $780,
S26,057.23 on hand and the general fund
down to sS9,523,207.5
The increase in public debt, which is
a complete turnover of four millions
in round numbers from the month of
July, is due largely to an excess of
national bank deposits over redemp-
tions. The general rule of excess of
expenditures over receipts during July
and August is also contributory
cause.
The working balance is a shade bet
ter than the close of July.
