lliem to reurgaii.zo tlieir foruau, as dur

possible for the Americans to do effective
work. The roheli fnuikly admit that it
i) their intention to continue the struggle
until the American eluithuiH in No
vember, in the hope that thu presunt ad
ministration will ho overthrown und
government favorable to Filipino in
dependent'" installed in its Hteud.
Tlio activity of thu Filipino juntu nt
lioiij Kong in so pronounced as to excite
wonder why the British authorities
there do not suppress it. The junta is
non' tin' i itnii run 11 ta' hiHt liope.
Great interest is innnifeHted here in
the nnko up and powerH of the new
Philippine commission, appointed by
President .MoKinloy.
Tliere U u great opportunity for the
commission to perform a valuable service
in gainm' the confidence of the people.
There is no querition that tlio insurgent
leader succeeded in thoroughly nlionuting

friendly attitude. It will taku much con

port as will (.'liable thu Americana to
completely pacify the islands and sup
press the guerrilla warfare. Hut in case
the commission is uinpowored to deal
hro.idly with the questions of govern
ment mid laud titlea it ought to quickly
obtain bene liclal reaullu.
The establishment of Gen. Olio of
garrisons in many plaeea throughout thu
archipelago has undoubtedly had an im
pressive tiled upon thu natives. Tlio
fact that it haa been posaiblo to establish
these giirriaons in a great numlnir of
twiii without thu ulighteflt rosiHtuneo

of the e'aiins () tho insurgent Icadora

Washington, March lid. In his forth
coining report, Jamea Iioyle, United
States consul at Liverpool, eallB atten
tion to tho fact that American niiinu
faotures, particularly in specialties, are
boiiitf accepted by Kuglisli irirchtieers
in preferenca to those of honiu produc
tion. English critics writing to Liver
pool newspaper, ho shvb, have at
tributed this to the American goods
being cheap, and they often add tho
word "nasty." 'J 'lie consul ia able to
refute tbeao charges by a letter from a
prominent Inisiness man to I ho Liver
pool Chamber of Commerce. Tho
writer Btudied trade conditions during
Eoven yeara spent in Attica, Australia
and Canada. A portion oJ this letter
is incorporated in Consul Boylea report,
and reads, in part, as follows:
"J have found that American and Ger
man niiinuhiotureiH ate gradually oust
ing us from all these in.ukots. This
truth Ih cc.ircely appreciated at a time
of worldwide prosperity, but it will
niiike itself iiiipleaenntly obvious when
tlio inevitable reaction sets in. 1 Und
that throughout the countries I have
named theio is a universal complaint,
You English will not make your goods
to suit our iimrkute. You send your
samples and toll us to take them or
leave tbeni jou don't care which. If
we nnk you to alter things you either re
fuse to do it or else you demand pro
hibitive prices. Germans and Ameri
cans, on the other hand, cure for und
ascertain our requirements and then
supply our needs at reasonable prices.
English goods go through ' too many
hands."
Consul IJoyle Etates that American
manufactures can now find plenty of
other champions in England, who base
their support on the ground of actuul
f-upcriority, both in workmanship and

AMONG THE

May Try to Destroy Roberts' Line of
Communication Plumer is on Half
Rations There Seems Little
Likelihood of the Early Relief of
Mafcking.
Lonijon, March 20. The continued
absence of an aggressive movement on
the part of the British .is best explained
in a dispatch from r.loemfontein, dated
March 25, and published in the second
edition of the Times. Itsays:
'The conditions existing in the oc
cupied territory render imperative the
somewhat prolonged halt at Bloem
fontein. It is necessary that the effect
of the proclamation should have time to
make itself felt.
"It is said that danger of annoyance
to the line of communication rnoy be ap
prehended unlesB the territory behind
the advancing forces is rendered abso
lutely secure. The accuracy of this view
is proven by the enemy's breaking up
into isolated groups such as that which
attacked the guards' officers Friday.
"The adjustment of financial and mu
nicipal matters ia the Free State is now
chiefly occupying the attention of the
Governor and hid legal and financial ad
visers. The military regime is being
conducted with great smoothness, but
recent investiir.itioiis show that gieat
caution must be exercised in dealing
with persons apparently loyal."
This summary is probably an accurate
explanation of the friqucnt appearance
and disappesrancs of Boers and insui
gents upon which the reports uie so con
flicting, and which so puzzle the Brilisii
military critics.
General Methuen appears to be await
ing transportation, and with Colonel
Phiiner's forces on half rations, there
now seems little likelihood of the im
mediate relief of .Mafeking, though
neither from this quarter, nor from
lloberts or Buller, is there any direct
uews today.
Tho government buildings at Cape
Town narrowly ebcaped defcti notion by
