The n-brls shift about so much that It Is litiiosUle to estimate their numbers.

The rebels have been rrsupplled with ammunition and are using smokeless powder. Nearly every houiw here uisplays a foreign flag for protection, wnether It I entitled to it or not. All flags except the Spanish flag are seen; from native hut hang while towel or shirts. Food commodities have doubled and trebled In price and many kinds of busi ness are at a standstill. About ! new saloons have been opened here since the American occupation, with the result that many drunken soldier are 10 be seen In the streets. Officers, however, say the conduct of the soldiers Is better than these of any other nation under similar eirvumstancea. The chief topic of conversation at pres. ent Is the delay in lutsigning Major Clen eral Lawton to command. Kverybody ex. ' pected yiol he wu to take comiiMnd of the troops. There Is an Impression that Japanese llrms are supplying the rebels with arm. OTXHOAT SHKI.I TUB KKliKl.S. Luguna de Buy Chases the Insurgents Along the Pasig River. I NKW .YOKK. M:irvh IT. -A dispatch to the Herald from Manila says: On Mon ;day vour corresiiondent went aboard the J United States guulnrnt Lnguna de Itay and nccomimnled her on the chnse of the rebels. She first steamed pnst the town of Paslg and turned her gatllng tuns on the Insurgents camped along the shore. Tho Insurgents were so frightened that (he women, children, horses, soldiers and caraboa fled In hundreds across the open field toward Laguna de Bay. The gun. boat ceased firing, but followed close behind the panic-stricken crowd, driving them Inland, On Tuesday the gunboat Ceste Joined the Laguna de Bay, both under command of Captain Grant. They made for the lake channel, which had been Mocked by th. Insurgents, but they finally clenred the way. , On the lake we chased two tailing ves sels which were full at Insurgent troops. Doth Vessels refused to surrender and Ma ashore, the troops escaping- In spite of 0-r fire. During Wednesday, while approach ing Santa Crui, the richest city on th lake, we raised n white Hag when 600 yurda from the shore. A large force of Insurgents la Intrenched in front of the town, but they refused to confer with us. Then wo shelled their position ef fectively and withdrew to the end of the lake to await the landing of our forces. HOSTILITIES MAY SOON END. WASHINGTON, March 17.-Advlcs have been received from Manila which in. dlcate that the climax may occur at any hour. The oftlckls here are well pleased with the condition of affairs, but will not at present discuss the details of the dis patches. Tho Indications are that hostil ities will end within a very short time. MORE rRISOIsERS TAKEN. MANILA. March 17. p. m.

March 1T.-Th Times, this morning. In sn article dealing with the Arrwrican-Brlthth Joint commission, after pointing out that Baron Hersr-hell's auc cesMor will be unaMe to resume the ne. gitUtlons at ths exact point where they wore dropped, owing to the Investiga tion having to a large exten ten con. ducted orally, says: "Tills Is no less rvrttabie for Ameri can than It la manifestly deplorable from the British point of view. Baron Menu het! was keen supporter of Can. adiMn rights: but he clearly perceived the Immense value of a neighborly scree ment between Canada and the United States on these points. That Canada alone ho much to gain from a satis factory settlement is an entirely falla. clous presentment of the esse. Amer. lea's interests are equally as deeply in volved, and many -)! Informed aid vUers of the Canad.an governmt'nt, per. n'svlng this to tie the esse, are endeavor. Inir to secure a rupture of the negotia tions." The srtloie then proceeds to point out that "the l'nlte.1 States will soon be compelled to look to Canada for supplies of timber. In view of the rapid depletion of their own forests." teallng at length with the question of tbe lumber Inter! between the two nations, it concludes ss follows: "It will be felt by ail who are disposed to tuke a broad view of the situation that the Interest of both nations would be- better subserved by a policy of mu tual consideration. Canada happens to posses certain supplies of raw material necessary to American. Industrie. If America desires free access to these supplies the price to be paid as between two protectionist countries 1s clearly a free field In manufactured articles for Canadian competition. "Otherwise the Canadian authorities will have obvious difficulty In resisting pressure at home to keep raw material in tVinadn and to force the American man. ufacturers to establish their factories In Canada for "the benefit of Canadian la bor." RECORDS OF OFFICERS DCRINO THE SPANISH WAR. New Army Register Published Containing a List of Appointments of General and Start Officers. WASHINGTON. March a7.-Tha new army register will tot published In a few dnys. Some advance copies have been received at the war department where it has been looked over with considerable Interest. This register, while for the regular army only, will have a list of tbe general and staff officers appointed dur. lng the Spanish war. together with their records during the war. An Interesting feature of the register Is that the volunteer sen-Ice of the regu. lar officers Is given, and there Is a jump from IStW and 1S7 to 1SSS In that service, a lapse of more than SO years. Another Interesting point is that sev. eral men In the regular army declined volunteer apjpnlntments. At the head of this Is Adjutant General Corbln. The register shows that on August IS, 198. he was appointed a major general of volunteers and declined. Major General John A. Johnston, adjutant general's department, declined a commission of lieutenant colonel. There are other In stances, but these are found In n hur ried examination of the register, which is an extensive volume. RAIN WORTH MILLIONS. SAN FRANCISCO. March 17.-The storm which began on Tuesday reached the southern counties of -aln has the state, relieving the anxiety of the farm, ers of that section. A great Industry In San Bernardino and Ventura counties is that of beet raising, and the present rainfall has assured, large crops, Hay and grass will now b plentiful, and cat tlemen Are correspondingly happy. Mines which last year were closed down on account of lack of water will be able to run the entire summer, aa there Is plenty of snow In the mountains and the streams are full. Fruit trees also have been greatly helped 'by the storm. Th win of the past three days has been of vast benefit to California, and Its value In resultant crops will amount to millions of dollars. t CIIARGE9 AGAtNST FAWCETT. SAN FRANCISCO. March 17.-D. W. Somple, of Dawson City, business man ager of the Klondike Nuggett, is in the city en route to Ottawa, Ont, formally to present charges against ex-Gold Com. missloner Thomas Fawcett. His mission Is the outcome of a persistent and un. compromising attack upon the methods and practices of the office from which Faweett was recently removed. He Is still chief of survey, however, and from this place his removal will be asked. A demand will also be made for Faweett's prosecution on a number of charges of alleged official misconduct.
