A BRIEF RESPITE. Insurgent« North of Malolon Are Quiet— Americana Cleaning the City. Manila, April 8.—There has been a respite in hostilities, chiefly in order to allow the Filipinos to digest the proclamation. The rebels remain re markably quiet. The sharpshooters of General Law ton’s lines have borrowed Filipino tac tics and are harassing the rebels at night, picking off some of them nightly. Malolos is resuming its natural as pect. Preparations are being made for establishing a permanent camp for the troops there, and the soldiers are cleaning the city. One-third of the American force at Malolos is sent nightly to form an advance line a mile north of the city, with patrols and eentries ahead of the line. General MacArthur’s volunteers are receiving Krag-Jorgensen rifles, the Filipinos having discovered that they can effectively fire their Mausers and retreat before the Americans approach near enough to use their Springfield rifles with effect. Advices received here from Samar, an island forming a province of the Philippines, says the revolutionists there are weary. Their leader, Luk- ban, of Chinese ancestry, has deserted with the funds. The inhabitants aie desirous of American rule. Insurrection in Negros.

New York, April 10.—The Herald says Brigadier-General Stone will go to Washington tomorrow,where he will call the attention of the president to the starvation and distress in Porto Rico.

The general was attached to the de partment of agriculture before the war, and during hostilities he was in Porto Rico as a member of Genera) Miles’ staff. This last trip was made with a party of capitalists and railroad men. He was also invited by Major- General Hentv to give advice concern ing the construction of roads through the islands. “People are dying of starvation all through the interior,” said General Stone. “In the district of Aguas Banas there were mauy deaths. The judge in the district of Comerio showed me a book in which he had recorded the names of many who died for lack of food. General Grant reported 89 deaths from starvation in one district.

Porcupine Creek Still Continue« Draw the Gold «eek er« — Aloug the Coast. I to Colonel Frank Gyrgla, special agent of the land department, has returned to Juneau from an extensive trip into the Porcupine creek country. He in vestigated reports that the Dalton Trail Company bad appropriated to its own use the old India trail up the Chilcat river, and found them to be unfounded in fact. He liar) a pow-wow with quite a number of the leading men of the Chilcat tribe. Colonel Grygla took a gobi pan and thrashed out nearly a handful of uug- gets ami coarse gold on Discovery and oilier claims on Porcupine creek, and if seeing is believing, he thinks there are oodles of tire golden fleece where the samples he carries were washed from the native earth. The town of Haines Mission is hav ing a steady, solid growth. A sign of “keep off the grass” could not thrive there. Lot-jumping is the principal pastime and it is going on all over town. There are some people at Haines who would jump a cook stove and run off with it, provided it wasn’t too hot. Porcupine City has the ad vantage of a level site at the mouth of one of the best gold-bearing creeks in the district, and the outlook is that it will become quite a camp. It is grow ing. Travel between Haines and Por cupine is steady and on tire increase. Tire trail on the snow is hard and in fine condition. A large number of prospectors are stopping either tempor arily or permanently at Walkerville, on Salmon. Colonel Grygla’s party counted about 80 men on the trail to Porcupine in nine hours. The Dalton trail will be in good condition for summer travel. Jack Dalton’s teams are taking in large quantities of supplies over the snow trail. The “diggings" already located in the Chilcat and Klohrena river country are ground for confidence, and the fu ture of that section of Alaska, and its growing towns may be considered bright.

About ten acres of tide land and water way has been pur chased for $24,000 in Seattle by agents- of the Eastern Steamship Company, who will immediately commence im provements at tire Sound.
