CONDITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES. How tlie Insurgents Have Killed Time and Gained Their End. OTIS STOPPED M'ABTRTJR'S ADVANCE-AT IS "BED ED. Manila,- Joly 22, via Sao Francis co, A cg. 24.-IQ Manila talk of the ending of Che war deals no longer with weeks, bat with months and even years Among the mass of people here, military men and for eign residents, there is bot one opinion. The whole effort of the insurgeais for three months was to hold off the Americans nntii their j ally, the rains, came. In this they have been as successful as they could have hoped. Unless affaire take same unforeseen tarn, the Filipi nos will r same the war this fall with fresh spirit and a replenished stock of arms and ammunition One ship load of arms, it is learned on good authority, has reached them within this week. Of money the leaders of the insurrection have no lack. They control the resources of a large and exceedingly rich coun try and even though no crops were harvested, for several years they could still obtain enough cash and supplies by impressing to their ase the treasures of the church, the store houses cf farmers and manufacturers and funds of private individuals-a system of levy which they have long enforced to considerable success. AH the ships coming and going into the ports recently opened to trade pay heavy tributa tc the insurgents. Mach of the profits of this inform al sort of government are supposed to go into the pockets of the leaders, except Aguinaldo, who is generally acquitted of enriching himself by the present war ; but when the public treasury becoms empty the poliii ciaos who are exploiting Aguinaldo, may, if they see a possibility of suc cess, consider the war a good private investment. Reports brought through the lines to Spaniards and Filipinos in this city are that the spirits of the insur rectionists are improving. Americans, like the Spaniards, most defer to nature and rest on their arms most of the time while the country is a mud wallow. The g n rais are teiliag their followers that American inaction during the past month is due to discouragement and demoralization The Filipino sol diers, according to these informants, are tolerably contented Although the paymaster seldom appears they are living as comfortably as they have been accustomed to, being clothed and receiving rations which an Americau soldier could not live on, chiefly rice with only occasional ly a little fish or meat. They are fairly well housed, having taken possssion of the dwellings and pub lic and church buildings in the towns in which they are quartered, and they add to their living by looting. Through the Americau secret ser vice come different stories, that the Filipino army is becoming decimated by desertion to the number of 20 or 30 a day and are fast losing heart and are on the verge of disruption Past experience frith zee secret sor vice jastiues s suspicion that many of its employes, mott of hom are Dartres or Spaniards, are deeply interested ia holding their pisces by seeming to earn their pay, bile the refogees who come through the Hoes have been disposed to give reports which they think will p~iea e the authorities. Almost since the beginning of the war they have pietcred tba Filipino army on its last legs and its collapse bat a question of days. Geo O is caused the country to be placarded with as oller of 30 for each insurgent rifls voluntarily sur render ed If the Filipino soldiers were deferring by companies, tired of war and converted to American role, maoy of them might be expected to bring their guns to (be American lines aid receive the reward. Tbe entire harvest from th's (fier, however, bas been less than 100 goos There was a time wheo Aguinaldo's biggest army hang in the balance, when tte destruction appeared nevi table. That was wheo MacArthur had captured San Fernando and Lawton was marching apon San isidro with the Tilint os scattering before him Law ton had made himself a terror to the insurgents, because no obstacles stop ped bim. Wi h Liwtoo at San Isidro the rebels feared be might sweep around upon Tariae, where they had installed their nomadic capital, and oatch them be tween two armies. AH the archives, gilt triangles and treasure boxes were packed ready for shipment on the rail road at the first word of Lawton's advance. Lawton asked to be allowed to do it with the men and rations he had. But orders came to withdraw his troops from San Isidro and return to Mtlolos, leaving small garrisons at some of the towns he had captured. His retirement the Filipinos construed into a retreat and from that day the siakieg hopes of the insurrection seemed to rise. Lana and Masoardo, who had retreated northward from San Fernando toward Tarlao, brought their armies back and proceeded to construct a borshoe lice of entrenchments around San Fernando, where, according to reports, the? led their followers to be lieve they bad Mc rthar besieged. The assassination of Lana was ex pected to briog the whole Filipino organization toppling down io civil war, bot, while the usual stories of dissensions are heard, its only result, so far as outward appearances go, was to leave Aguinaldo the undisputed leadership. The Filipinos are encour aged by the handicap the rains impose upon the Americans and the departure of the volunteers. They read the American newspapers and think the home sentiment against war is growing. Their policy, after the rains will be as it was before-a campaign fur gain ing time and wearing out their oppo nents. They profess to imagine that congress will deoiare against annexation. If congress fails then they will try to pro long the struggle until the presidential campaign with the expectation that ooe of the politioai parties will declare against imperialism aod hope that such a party may win. To whip them while they are pursuing such tactics an army will be needed that can move rapidly and strike day after day, following up a victory without having to wait for rations and thus giving the enemy time tc reorganize. To capture them, most of the generals here think, cavalry will be necessary. Time after time the Americans have carefully planned movements which seemed sure to re sult in the rounding up of two or three thousand rebels in a trap, but every time the difficulties of the oouotry, the slowness of tho wagon trains and the superior agility of the light moving natives have conspired against them and when these several divisions of the army oame together they have found a handful of obsequious brown men who announced themselves "amigos." Dictated Accounts of Battles Maj. Gen. Otis, Office in Ma nila, Purveyor of News. Mauiia, Aug 19, via Hong Kong, Aug. 22.-The Filipino rebels appear to relain mach more of a fighting spirit than might be expected after their recent San Fernando experi ence and Gen. Lawton's drubbings in the south. After giving up San Fernando with a feeble struggle, they entrench ed themselves at Angeles, working for several days and impressing non combatants into tue work, thus sav ing the armed men for fighting. They engaged Lieut Col. Smith's | regiment and the artillery warmly for four hoers, making one of the most stubborn resistances of the campaign. But the Americans are indebted to the usual poor marksman ship of the Filipinos as well as to their Biategy for their small loss In the province of Cavite, where it was supposed the rebels had been scattered and demoralized beyond recuperation, they have assembled an army of several thousand men distributed among the important towns from the lake to the bay. After the San Fernando engagement the rebels attempted to deter the Americans from a further advance northward by menacing the railroad communications. Several hundred of Gen. Fio del Pilars men crossed the Rio Grande, between the Ameri can outpost towns, and threatened Baliaag, Quiogua and other places with sraaii American garrisons, while, daring Sonday and Monday nights, smaller bands tried to tear up the railroad tracks at several points be tween Bigua and Malotes. Rein forcements of American troops, how ever, were sent along the railroad from Manila to San Fernando, while the forces at Baliaag and Quingua sailed out against Gen. Pio del Pilar's men and the rebels were easily driven away. In brushes between these Filipinos and the Americans during three days the Americans lost several men while the Filipinos' loss was heavy Of those operations the Associated Press correspondent was permitted to send only an indequate dispatch, dictated verbatim by Maj Gen Otis. The censor writes stereotyped official phrases and adjectives into the dis patches, teoding to magnify the American operations and to minimize the opposition Geu Otis says news papers are a menace to public insti tutions, are bat private enterprises and the correspondents are only here on euffrance All reports from the rebel territory agree that the scarcity of food is in creasing and that the rebel command ers at Aparri and other points refuse to obey Aguinaldo's order in regard , to closing the ports held by the rebels against American ships and say that any ship bringing stores wiil be wel comed. Several ships from Manila are now at such ports Hundreds of people come to Manila daily and return to the rebel lines with food and other commodities. The guards stationed along one road reported that 5,000 persons passed through the lines in three days and that 45 tons of rice was carried out, in small parcels, on the same road, in 10 days Much of this undoubtedly goes to aid the rebels, but the authorities permit this traffic from motives of j charity towards the women and chit dren who are undoubtedly suffering Gen MacArthur :J establishing municipal governments in the villages north of Manila The mayor of Baliuag, the first iowa where Gen Lawton established the same rule, who was supposed to be one of the mest friendly and trustworthy of the natives, has been placed in jail charged with arranging with the rebels for an attack on the town. The American troops have been withdrawn from all that part of the country which was half cleared of rebels in the expedition of the Amer icans in June last The rebels have returned to San Mateo, which was abandoned for the third time after its recent capture. It is alleged that more than half the howitzer ammunition during the fight at Angeles was defective au3 failed to explode. McKinley, Root and Griggs Confer. Plattsburg, . Y., Aug 22-Sec retary Root arrived from iVashington on the noon train and soon after lunch joined the president and At torney General Griggs in the presi dent's private office. They were closeted for nearly two hours, during which time they had a general talk on all pending matters. Secretary Root, when seen by the Associated Press correspondent after the conference, said : "No, there is nothing startling to give out as a result of our conference. We had a general talk on a cumber of subjects, but there is really nothing of special interest to give out at this t me.;, Attorney General Griggs declined to talk on the subject of the confer ence. Gen. Merritt hada short talk to night with Secretary Root after the latter's conference with President McKinley and Attorney General Griggs. Cost of the Constabulary. A recent comparative statement compiled by Mr. W. W Harris, con stabulary clerk, shows that the 34 dispensary constables now employed by the State are accomplishing as much as the 59 who drew salaries until about the middle of June. The decrease in cost to the State bas been $1,797 34 since the con stabulary was reduced, these figures being the difference between the expense accounts of May, $4,493 69, and of July, $2,696 35. In June when the 59 constables served half the month the cost to the State was $3,561.19. The total saving for a year at this rate will be $21,658.80, based upon the difference between May and July. This is an average of $59 a day. There appears to be no adverse comment on the policy of the gov ernor in tho8 reducing the cost of maintaining the constabulary, for the resu'ts with the small force are as satisfactory as with three score con- ! stables -The State. Charleston to Augusta by an Air Line. Columbia, Aug. 24.-Application for a charter for the "Charleston Air Line" from Charleston to Augusta will be made in a few days. The name of the road is to be the "Chat tanooga, Augusta and Charleston " This road, as has been reported, will be a part of the Seaboard sys tem, and will cross the South Bound at or near Olar in Bamberg county. The road will be 125 miles long, and the proposed capital stock is to be $25.000 per mile or $3,120,000 for the entire road if so much be necessary. It is said that as soon as the charter can be obtained construc tion will be begun. A branch between Columbia aud Augusta, it is reported, will also be built before many months, and the Seaboard's system will be complete in the lower part of the State. ?II III ll -Ul I mm - Washington, Aug. 24 -Il is believ ed in high quarters here that many of the important questions relating to Puerto Rica will be left for congress to deal with, instead of being sallied by executive action One of these relates to the free exchange of commodities between Puerto Rico a?d this country. Another plan of relieving Puerto Rico was to permit ber tobacco to enter Cuba free of duty. This would give ao easy market to Puerto Rican jbacco, but the point has been raised that it would depress Cuban tobacco. Death of Prof. DuPre. Clemson College, Aug. 25 -Prof. | J.
