NO RESPECT FOR WHITE FLAG. Th. Filipino« Show Their Treacherous Nature. À Cen. Lawton Lands With the Fourth Infantry. REBELS DESTROYING HOUSES Terrorizing Inhabitants at Pandacan — Negros Commission Magnificently Received at Bacolot. Manila, March 13. — Rebel incendi aries landed at the village of Pandacan last night for the purpose, it is alleged, of terrorizing those of the inhabitants who do not sympathize with the insur rection. A number of native houses were destroyed. The United States transport Grant, which sailed from New York, January 19, having on board Major-General Lawton, the Fourth infantry and a bat talion of the Seventeenth infantry, ar rived this morning. With the exception of San Pedro Ma- cati, where Filipino sharpshooters in cessantly annoy the American troops, matters are unusually quiet along the line. The weather is much cooler today. The Maritime Steam Navigation Company’s steamer Nustria Zeno del Rio has arrived here from Ilo Ilo and reports all quiet there, although skir mishes are frequent in theoutlying dis tricts. The Negros commissioners landed Friday last at Bacolot, and have been doing excellent work since. The St. Paul landed a battalion of troops at Negios March 4. Colonel Smith and other officers were magnifi cently received and entertained by the natives, who were extremely kind and courteous. Within an hour of landing the signal corpshad established communication with Ho Ilo, Captain Tilly reporting news of the reception to General Miller. Goodall's battalion was subsequent ly landed at Cebu without opposition, amt is quartered in the city. The 6teamer Gloria, which has ar rived here from Curimac in the north ern part of Luzon, reports that the steamer San Joaquin is stranded, that her cargo has been jettisoned and that her native crew.mutinied and murdered the Spanish officers of the vessel. Some of the mutiners are reported to have been arrested at Vigan. The British first-class cruiser Power ful, has arrived here fioni Hong Kong, in order to relieve the first-class cruiser Narcissus. The United States transport Ari- xor.a has sailed. All is quiet at Manila. Manila, P. I., March 9.—Detach ments of General Hale’a and General Wheaton’s biigades were engaged for two hours thia morning clearing the oountry in fiont of their lines on both sides of the river, the enemy concen trating with the apparent purpose of cutting off the garrison at the water works. The rebels bolted at the first sign of the advance, but they separated into small bodies whenever the covert afforded opportunity, and kept up a running fire. By a series of rapid advanoes, followed by flank movements, the enemy was completely routed as far out as Guadaloupe on the right, and almost to Mariquini on the left. The casualties imported are Captain O’Brien, of company F, First Wyoming volunteers, and two men slightly wounded. The rebel loss was heavy. This afternoon General Hale’s brig ade continued the work of driving out the rebels from the country between the reservoir and the water works, a distance of about three miles. The country is now clear on the left oi the river, but the enemy is still in fiont of General Wheaton’s line. Private Lovejoy, company C, Wash ington volunteers, was killed by a stray bullet. Major Bell, Seventh United States cavalry; Private Young, company M, Twentieth infantry, and Private Parke, company I, First Wyoming volunteers, wounded today. This morning the enemy in front of General Ovenshine’s division displayed a flag of truce, but returned when Lieu tenant Kohler, with two men, advanced to meet it. This afternoon they again showed a white flag, and again two officers and an inspector advanced. When the Americans were within 200 yards of the rebels the latter dragged rifles from behind their backs and opened tire upon them, but fortunately without effect. Hawthorne’s battery fired two shells, killing several of the enemy. STORMS AND FLOODS. Roaring March Weather in the Eastern States. M Hll [IISCIiKfflT Iron Rule Is Necessary in Porto Rico. MUST NOT WITHDRAW TROOPS Daily Enoounlert Between th« Volun teer» and Natives — Cold-Blooded Murder nt C»fuay Chicago, March 13.—The Tribune prints the following special correspond ence from Forto Rico, from a Tribune correspondent: San Juan de Porto Rico, March 13. —The real situation in Porto Rico is not understood. People in the States generally regard Porto Rico as a sort of haven of peace. The war department has just requested General Henry that he immediately report how many regu lar troops he could spare from the island. The One Hundred and Forty seventh New York started home last Sunday. The regular regiments that remain are so scattered that in many places where there is necessity for a strong force only a corporal’s guard can be mustered, and territories where there are continual mutterings and the greatest evidence of discontent at i American rule, are unguarded. Gen- | eral Henry is in a dilema. He lias , only three regiments of troops—the Eleventh infantry, the Nineteenth and the Fifth cavalry, and two batteries of the Fifth heavy artillery. "I need twice the troops 1 have,” said the general at hie residence in San Juan. "Because of the easy victory of our troops here in the war and in the apparent friendliness of the natives to the American soldiers when they in- ' vaded the island, a notion prevails in l the States that there is little necessity for a strong force to maintain order in the island. The idea is erroneous. The conditions here are alarming. These people have been given every opportunity, but they are clamoring now for local self-government. They are no more fit fot local self govern ment than I am to run a locomotive. More troops are needed in the island. The seeds of discontent, planted by professional agitators, are rapidv grow ing, and can be kept down only by a strong military foice. “The ill-feeling between the natives and the American troops seems to grow stronger every day. The American officers have to maintain the greatest vigilance to prevent their men from wreaking vengeance on the natives, es pecial ly on the native police, for acts of violence that are continually com mitted against the troops.” Marlboro, Mass., March 13.—The examination made upon the stomachs of the four members of the Underwood family who weie found dead in a tene ment house in the rear of the Frve shoe factory here on Monday evening, Feb ruary 13, gives as the cause of death in every case the drinking of wood alco hol. The persona who were found dead in the bouse were Edward Underwood, his two daughters. Olive, aged 21. and Frances, aged 13, and John Clifford, the 3-year-old eon of Oliv* Underwood. The Revolt in Venezuela. Caracas, Venezuela, March 9.—The government troops have captured the city of Calaltoaso, capital of the new state of Guarioo, in which the revolu tion led by General Ramon Geuerra, supported by the Crespo party, has been in progress for several weeks. THE ARMY. Th« War Department Begins th« Work of Recruiting. Washington, March 13.—The war department has commenced the work of recruiting the additional 35,000 men to give tiie regular army a strength of 65,000 instead of 40,000 men. The number of recruiting stations has lieen increased from about 40 to between 70 and 80. The principal sta tions are at Chicago, New Y'ork and Philadelphia. New stations have been established at Augusta, Anniston, Al bany. Chickamauga Park, Macon, Sa vannah, Hartford, Conn., Harrisburg, Pa., Columbus and other towns, prin cipally in the East. Men will be first recruited for duty in the Philippines, and will be order ed, upon acceptance, to join the six regiments—9th, 6th, 13th and 21st infantry and 6th artillery—which aie under orders to reinforce General Otis at Manila as soon as the transput tation can be arranged. TWO THOUSAND VOLTS. Terrible Shoek That Did Not Kill an Employe of a Fower-Houne. New York, March 12.—Joseph Ham pel, an employe of the Lexington avenue cable power house, while work ing at hie switcli-lioard received and survived an electrio shock of about 2,000 volts. The man’s body was badly burned from head to foot, every stitch of clothing was torn from him, and he fell eenseless through a hole in stantaneously burned in tiie floor by the terrific electrical power. The doc tors who attended him say there is no case on record of a man withstanding a similar ehock. Tbe accident was caused through Hampel trying to tight ' en a loose screw on the switchboard, and in some way creating a circuit. The enormous power of the shock may be judged from the fact that until the circuits were readjusted all the care of the road were brought to a standstill. CHINESE REBELLION GROWING.
