Sub- PEOPLE ARB TEROR-STRICKE lok tar nn Asaaolt te Mads at Any Tints Appeal to the Captain t the Charleston. Manila, Nov. 15. Tbe following ad rices have been received from Hollo, capital of Panay, one of tbe srlnclpal islands ol the Visayat groupt "The insurgents have occupied Lin ranis. Oton and Pavla, suburbs of llorlo, and are daily expecting to at tack tire town. The Spaniards bavt abandoned the mole and destroyed tbe connecting bridges. Business la par alysed, and the inhabitants are in a state of terror. Tbe mercantile houses of all nationalities have signed a clroo lar, asking the commander of the Dnl ted States cruiser Charleston to re main, aa the Spanish authorities are incapable of affording them protection." It it reported also that the insurgents have taken the whole of tbe islands of Negros and Zebo, of tbe Visayas group. As tbe cable connections are cut, it it impossible to confirm tbe rumor. November 0 General Bios, Spanish governor of the Visayas, It said to have declared a seven days' aimistioe in or der to communicate with Madrid, with a view of transferring control to tbe Americana. Major Bell has gone to Hollo to ascer tain the facts ot tbe situation. The Dnited States transport 8candla will leave tomorrow with 60 aiok and discharged men. Kepsrt From QTiner Bios. , Madrid, Nov. 15. The government has received a dispatch from General Bios, governor of tbe ViauyaS islands, reporting tha rebellion in tne island of Negros, and announcing tbe departure from Iloilo of the mail steamer Mnnot with a number of invalided men. REFUSE TO LEAVE. Mutiny Among Spanish Soldlere In Puerto Prlaelpa. Washington, Nov. 15. Adjutant General Corbin received a dispatch to day announcing that tbe Eighth cavalry sailed thii morning from Savannah for Puerto Principo, Cuba. The regiment will be the American garrison at Puer to Principe and Nuevitas. In this connection an interesting bit of information has reached tbe war de partment. Arrangements have been made by the Spanish authorities to send back to Spain the Spanish troops, numbering 9,500 men, upon the arrival of the American garrison. It was ex pected tbey would sail Wednesday or Thursday, bnt an unexpected obstacle bat arisen among the men themselves. Tbey are on the verge of mutiny, open ly declaring they will not return to Spain until they have received their pay, now far in arrears, for service in Cuba. ' Tbe mutiny extends not only to the enlisted men bnt to their officers, and is directed against the executive official! of the government on tbe Island. Some of the men bave not been paid for Dearly year, and to all of them several month. of pay is due. The situation has created no particu lar concern In the minds oi the Amer ican authorities, at it it not likely seriously to affect the control of that portion of the island by the American forces; bnt it is realised that these 8,500 soldiers. If they should persist in tbelt refusal to return to Spain, might become dependents whom it would be difficult to care for, and nltimatel. perhaps, a menace to good government In the Island. Tbe Spanish authorities, express no fear of their ability to solve tbe problem presented, but how they will solve it if the men, backed by their officers, absolutely refuee to return borne without their pay ia not clear. .
