M anila, Feb. 13.— O f late the in­
surgents in Albay province, Luzon,
have adoptel harassing tactics against
the towns which the Americans have
garrisoned They camp in the hills and
maintain a constant fire upon the
Am erican outpotes. W hen the troops
sally against them, they scatter, re­
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows, and have
thus burned a large part o f the town of
Albay. Indeed, most of the towns in
that provino* are practically deserted,
except by the garrison.
Scarcely any
of the inhabitants return to their
homes. They are camping in the inter­
ior. and it is supposed armed insurgents
prevent them going back. I t is report­
ed that there is much suffering among
them, ow ing to lack of food. As a re­
sult of these conditions, the hemp busi­
ness in that section is seriously hin­
dered, and ships going for cargoes are
compelled to take gangs of coolies to
do their loading. Hem p held in the
interior is quite Inaccessible.
Colonel Bell w ill take tw o regiments
and a battery through the province* of
North Camarines and South Camarines,
going there on transports.
Many in­
surgents retreated to that part of the
island from Cavite and Batangas prov­
inces. Another expedition w ill soon
Is rat to garrison towns along the north
coast of the island of Mindanao.
G uerrilla warfare continues south of
Manila.
T w o attempts have been
made to ambush the Am ericans. C ol­
onel Schwan, w h ile returning to Manila
with his staff and an escort of 100 cav­
alry from Batangas, was attacked by
the insurgents. The latter were dis­
persed, but the Americans had five
wounded.
Lieutenant-Colonel Beacon, w ith six
companies of the Forty-second infantry,
had a tw o hours’ fight w ith Genera)
P io del P ilar's command, which at­
tempted to ambush the Americans
along the trail through Morong prov­
ince, near the lake.
Here, also, the
insugents were dispersed,
but the
Americans
had
several
wounded,
among them a captain.
General Bell is operating sonthward
through Zambales province w ith a
small force.
Another expedition is proceeding
northward from Subig. I t is reported
that the insurgent! general, Alejandro,
has recovered from his wound and has
assembled a large force in that district.
The plague continues.
Eight caBea
were reported last week among the
natives and Chinese. There is no e x ­
citement, however, and business and
social life are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the
natives along the railroad and in the
towns on the northern coast.
Two
officers of the Thirty-sixth infantry
have died of the disease and another
officer and several soldiers have been
stricken.

Chicago, Feb. 18.— “ The greatest
question of our tim e is whether the as­
sim ilation of the commercial force of
China by the w orld w ill he a quick or

Wheeler, president o f the U niversity of
C alifornia, who passed through Chicago
today on his w ay Blast. “ I f the pro­
cess be speedy,” he continued, “ there
is lik ely to be • disastrous disturbance,
tint i f it lie natural and unforced, a
peaceful adjustment w ill be ineured.
Therefore, the queetion, not so much of
the Chinese as of China, is of para­
mount importance to Americans.
"T h e pressure of ages has made of the
Chinese, postmasters in
commerce.
Their lack has been iron, «m l as the
commercial development of this coun­
try has been characteristically that of
metals, they have seemingly been dis­
tanced. Bnt let them once acquire in­
struction from the Western w orld in
the metal arts, and they w ill be able,
w ith their genius, to revolutioniae the
commerce of the globe. ”

The central

gradually moving southward.
Snow

As yet railroad
traffic has not lieen affected to any

Reports from Southern W yom ing and
Western Nebraska are to the effect that
a blizzard has been raging in that

Methodists in this country propose
to raise $20,000,000 as a “ 20th century

This immense
