Porto Ricans Enlisting in Uncle

New Yohk, May 10. A speciul to the
Herald from Washington says: Within
a few weeks a fully organized b.utalion
of Porto Ricans wearing Uncle Sam's
uniform will be performing duty in their
niitivo island under the direction of
American otlicers. The organization of
the command will be authorized by Sec-
tetary Alger, and General Henry has
lirtcted the commanding officers of the
por'.s of ban Juan, i'once, JHayaguez,
Arecibo, Agutadilla, Cayuy, tlumaceo
Jjuiitat, Yauco, Boamo, San German,
Bayamon, Manila, Lares and Aibonito
to designate an ollicer to enlist, equip
and instruct 2') men.
Reports show that there is no lack of
volunteers, and that more than one
half of the battalion has enlisted, though
some of the towns have not yet fur-
ished their quota of men. in view of
the withdrawal of the Nineteenth in
fantry from Porto Rico, and the fact
that there remains only the Fifth cav-
lry, Eleventh infantry and three bat
teries of the Fifth artillery, the equip
ment of the 4u0 Porto Ricans as Ameri
can soldierB will be a welcome addition
to the American force, and enable the
commanding general to preserve peace
and oider on the inland.

Forgery In Patent Ojice.
censauonai developments were

in Cuba of photographic counterfeit bills
of the denomination of $1, $5, and $10
current series. The spurious money was
manufactured in the photograph gallery
of the United States natent office, bv
government employes, with governmen
apparatus and materitl, and during the
government work days. Chief Wilkie
aud several detectives are working on
the case, and are much elated at the
success. The uegatives or plates from
which the counterfeit notes were made
were discovered in a dark nook in the
sub-baseineut of the interior department
by a boy named Tucker, who is em

Imleeision Must End.
Wasiiixuton, D. C, May 10. The
prevailing opinion here is that indecis
lou regarding Cuba must end, McKin
ley must announce either anuexation or
intention to withdraw from the island
The unsettled policy of the United
States foments trouble and delays peace
ful settlement. A plain, straightfor
ward proposition that the United States
intends to continue in possession would
gratify tho property owners and all'ord a
guarantee for the invesnnont of capital .
The time for temporising with the insur
gents has passed. It is feared the pres
ident will not take such a bold and im

The Filipinos, in terror and panic,
fired 20,000 rounds of ammunition, but
only slightly wounded one scout. One
insurgent officer was killed and six men
wounded.
The insurgents retreated and are now
at San Miguel, six miles north of San
Hdefonso.
Twenty percent of the opposing rebel

FIGHTING IN MINDANAO
General Rios, Spain's military repre
sentative here, says the inhabitants of
Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, de
manded arms from General Lontero for
defence against the landing of the
American forces but the'r request was
rdfused. Therefore, the natives at
midnight opened fire on the Spaniards
with machine guns and rifles stolen from
the former Spanish gunboats recently
sold to the United States.
The natives were repulsed with great
loss. General Montero, a major of eni
neers, and Captain Builea were gravely
wounded; Lieutenant Granado was
slightly injured; one private soldier whs
killed and three wounded. The natives
have cut off the water supply and other
resource of the Spaniards at Zamboan
ga.
AGUINALDO NOT A FIG11TKR.
Aguinaldo has nit in person tak. n
p irt in a single battle so far. Aguinaldo
chafes under the position which Gen
eral Luna occupies. Luna is the actual
head of millitary operations, and simply
uses Aguinaldo as a demi-god, whose
name is to the people an incentive to
lead them to fight. The army expects
Aguinaldo to lead them out of the wil
derness of slavery, and the feeling of the
natives on the subject has been encour
aged by cunning lies.
Aguinaldo is holding out for a money
settlement. He is getting rich as the
war progresses. The army under him is
not being paid in cash. The salaries of
Filipino soldiers come out of the booty
they are able to gather in the towns
thev enter.
It is the policy of the retreating a) my
f insurgents to notify the natives that
iloodihirsty Americans are close behind.
Immediately the natives desert their
lomea and the troops plunder with full
icense of Aguinaldo. All this is laid to
the American troops. General Luna
orders all property destroyed, and tells
the natives that the Americans, being
enormously rich, will pay all damaged.
SPANISH PRISONERS SUFFER.
The Spanbh prisoners held by Filipi
nos are as well treated as circumstances
will allow, for the reason that Aguina'do
is holding them for money hostage. But
in spite of the fact that no cruelties are
nfiicted on them, many are dying on
account of the poor rations and privations.
Four hundred Spani h priests who
were forced to live at La Paz suffered
terribly from malarial fever. Many i f
the Blck, by nature of their circumstan
ces, were compelled to perforin the
most degrading services for the benefit
of their more unfortunate brethren, and
it is doubtful if, out of 400, 50 will live
through the rainy Beason. Of La Paz it
is the saying here that "the population
dies every six months.
DUPING THE NATIVES.
By way ot keeping up the courage of
their men, the insurgant generals have
giveu out the American loss is 90,000.
The natives believe that because of war
waged against them by the Americans,
President McKinley has been assassin
ated, and that General Mac Arthur and
other leaders of the American army
have been killed by their own troops.
The ignorant natives have been duped
by Aguinaldo into the belief that the
Ameiicans wish to make slaves of them.
The intelligent classes controlling the
wealth of the Philippines, however, are
bringing great preasure to bear upon
uenerai L.una to luaxe terms witti our
forces. Luna will claim all the credit
when the cessation of hostilities is finally
proclaimed ; but pending that, he is at
tempting to make it interesting for the
American force .
The insurgent government is making
frantic efforts get foreign ships to enter
into trade with the islands, but General
Otis has ordered all the ports closed.
Unless the insurgents can sell great
quantities of hemp and tobacco they
have accumulated, they cannot get
money for their main resource, which is
a powerful factor in making them will
ing to sue for peace. Unless they cm
get rid of their stores of supplies which
tney nave lor sale in a short time, all
will go to ruin.
WIU No Longer Act as Representa
UUiveof Culan Army.
Havana, May 16. General G'mtipz
informed General Brooke todav that he
co.ild no longer act as the representative
of the Cuban army in the distribution
of the $3,000,000 appropriated for the
payment of the Cuban troops.
General Gomez said he had arrived at
this decision with great reluctance, and
the most friendly feelings toward Gen
eral Brooke personally and officially , but
ha felt he could no longer represent the
Cuban army, because a cabal composed
of many of the subordinate commanders
existed to oppose and if possible defeat
the plans for partitioning the money.
He explained that former members of
the Cuban military assembly, led by
Mayai Rodriguez, Manuel Singnil'.y,
Juan Gualbertto and other malcontents,
had organized a majority of officers
against him apparently, and though he
(Gomez) might persist and possibly
carry the payment to a auccessliil con
clusion, he was disgusted and wished to
wash hi-t hands of the whole bu-ine-s.
Therefore he thought if he left General
Brooke free, the latter would be able to
act with equal effectiveness alone. Gen
eral Gomi z communicated this view to
General Brooke at an interview, which
continued for an hour and a half. Geo-
e id Brooke expressed sympathy with
(Jomez, and said be regretted the posi
tion he had taken, but the American
commander added that if his decision
was unchangeable he would proieid to
deal with the question alone.
It was then mutually agreed that Go
mez will issue tomorrow a manifesto to
the Cuban armv. This document will
be prepired this afternoon and sub nit
tad to General Brooke. After it h.is
been issued General Brooke may make
a declaration concerning the manner in
which he will proceed. He is deter
mined not to be trifled with. lie has
rolls of privates and nou-commissioned
officers who are willing to accept $75
each, and this amount will be off -red on
onditions previously laid down.
