IRIBUTE TAKEN BYJNSURGENTS fILIPNOS ALBEADY IMPOSING BURDENS ON COMMERCE. 9 Poll Tax Levied on Passengers on the Ferry to Cavlte -Mothods of New York Politicians Emulated. Employees in Factories Assessed. A Number of Amorican News papers Founded in tho Islands. Mnnllii, Dot'. 17, via San Francisco, Due. SO. It in reported on reliable authority that tho Filipinos me Impos ing burdens on commerce within th eery walls of Manila. For instance, a pm- .nplln tax Is levied on every pas ffiiner xvlio la foolish enough to accede to the demands on the ferry ucross tho bay to Cavlte. Collectors stnnd at the jjiitcH of nil the large factories on pay day and mulct the employes uccimlliicr to their s.ilailcs as they leave. of iMiui-Ho that affects only the Filipino, but It tends to show that the insur gents can and are doing pretty much as they like In spite of the authori ties. Their Hoops are for the most part amenable to reason. Some of them who are quartered in the suburbs pre sumed to exerclpe their authority, but after Agulnaldo had summoned Plo lie pllar and one or two other turbulent spirits to Malolos and kept them under his Immediate supervision there was no further trouble. They still surround the city, but at such a distance as to no longer be a menace to the peace or safety of the suburban residents of Manila. Tho Vos Espanola, a rabid anti American paper, has been suppressed by the authorities and Its editor ar rested for printing libelous articles. Tho Dlarlo de Manila, which was founded In 1S4'.I, has suspended publi cation, and two Spanish newspapers, the Oceania Kspanu and Commerce, it Is expected dally will follow suit. On the other hand, hnlf a dozen Fil ipino papers are in circulation and any number of American publications. FIRST PAPBH. The Manila Times, an evening pap-r, was the llrst newspaper In the field, its llrst Issue being the 12th Inst. Two days later, The American, a morning newspaper, which asserts that It has tho only Associated Press news In the east, appeared. Then came The Free dom, trl-weekly; I'ncle Sam and sev eral more weeklies. What with the uncertainty as to the future disposition of the Islands and the state of affairs existing out side tho city of Manila, which arc the bounds of American jurisdiction, business In tho Philippines is In almost as bad condition as It was six months ago. From May 10 until the surren der of Manila, on Aug. 31, last, the only means of communication between this city and other ports In the Philippines was entirely cut off, since all coasting vessels were under the Spanish llag.and had to tie up during the blockade. ith the advent of the American army of occupation It was hoped that trade would be resumed almost Immediately, but In spite of the fact that nrrantre ments have been made by the Ameri can and Spanish authorities toward that end, the fact remains that the Inter-Island trade, which In time of pence amounted annually to more than 5,'oO.fiOO.OOO. has dwindled down to les:i than one-llftli of Its normal volume. The largest Import firms have enor mous stocks, but cannot dispose of them for the reason that communica tion Inland Is blocked by the insur gents, and also because buyers nr-'s holding off In the belief that the pro posed change In the tariff will be to their advantage. Kxporters have noth ing to export because the hemp grow ing provinces are up in arms against the Spaniards, and both sugar and to bacco plantations are Idle for tho same cause. A few shipments of hemp havo been made, hut the insurgents collect ed heavy duly on It In the southern provinces and taxed the vessels carry ing It tonnage, duties in addition to the ratio, OUTRAGE IN HAVANA. Spanish Officer Smashes the Store of a Now Yorker and Arrests Him. Havana, Dec, 20. Samuel L. Israel, of 243 West Forty-ninth street, New York, opened a few days, ago a little store on Obispo street for wiling American floes and Jewelry. His wife last night ap pealed In tears to General Greene, say ing that Israel has been arrested and that she cannot find him. General Greene sent Captain Mott to Captain General Castcllanos, asking that Israel he produced and sent to General Greene. In an hour on aide-de-camp of the cap tain general brought the man to the Hotel Inelaterra. He had been in the Furza prison. Israel says that at fi o'clock yester day afternoon a Spanish lieutenant en tered his store, tore down the Hags and broke the showcase with his sword. Later he sent three men, who arrested Israel. He was well treated while -i prisoner. General Greene has asked Captain General Castellanos to Investigate the matter, and the latter said he wftuld t-cwl a report to General Greene nt 10 o'clock this morning. The SpanlPh transports Notre Dame, with General Kstruches and 0S.1 officers and men, and I.es Andes, with 1,840 otfi. cers and men, sailed for Cadiz today. The Spanish troops will today begin the evacuation of the northwest part of Havana city. On Dec. 22 the Spaniards will evacu ate the Santa Clara and Heina batteries and all the other forts outside of the town. They are to be occupied by American troop, but no flags are to he hoisted. The Spanish sick will remain In the Principe fort for the present and after Jan. 1 If necessary. TO PAY CUBANS, TOO. Oarcia's Followers and Aguinaldo's to Be Treated Alike. Washington. Dec. 20.

Seattle. Wash., Deo. 20. The steamer Alki, which arrived here today from Alaska, brings meagre particulars of an nvalanche on the Chllkoot pass In which at least six persons wore killed. Five bodies have been recovered as follows: Mrs. Darling and her two sons, of LaUo Llndcman; Pert Jones, Juneau; Harry Shaw, of Skaguay, The slide occurred on Dec. 0 at Crater lake, about one. mile beyond tho sum mit on tho Lake Llncleman slide. Mrs. Darling's husband was at Lake Lindcmnn and she had arranged to join him with her two sons, who had almost reached manhood. Shaw was a Skaguay man who had business at the lake. Hert Jones, of Juneau, was but li years old. and the reason for his tak ing the dangerous trip does not op pear. He was a friend of the Darllns boys The name of the sixth person lias not been ascertained. Contrary to the advice of old timers who realized that the trip was a dan gerous one, over the recent storms, the party set out with light outfits. It was stormiui,' very hard when they crossed tho summit, but they succeeded in reaching Crater lake, where tho blizzard forced them to camp, although It Is but seven miles to their destina tion. While encamped there tons of Ice and snow mixed with rocks and timber swept over them, evidently without warning and went on down the valley, leaving them burled under sev eral feet of hard snow. Their bodies were found three days later by search ing parties. The bodies were not bruised In the least. A peculiar coincidence is that the news of the slide Is brought by the same steamer that brought word of the terrible slide last spring in which nearly sixty people perished. Another coincidence is that the two slides occurred just about the same distance from the summit, but on op posite sides. Just befor the Alki left Skaguay, G. Paid Mills, of London, England, antl F. Smith, of .Melbourne, Australia, ar rived from Lake Atlln. with thel:- feet and hands badly frozen. It Is feared Mills will lose both feet. DREYFUS DEBATE. Another Howling Session in tho French Chamber of Deputies. Paris, Dec. 20. Th" Courier du Solr says this evening- "The Dreyfus secret dossier was handed to the court of cassation this evening under the pledge that it should not be communicated to the counsel for the defense or to any one outside the court " The chamber of tieputits Indulged In another Dreyfus debate today. Joseph Fournlere, Socialist deputy for Aisne. moved a resolution conferring the franchise upon soldiers, and demand ed urgency for It. He then proceeded to expound his views, which piovoked a great uproar. The premltu-, M. Dupuy replied: I should have thought that the Dreyfus affair had nlreadj done the country enough harm. M. Fournlere s new pro posal would be most pernicious. The country wants, and has a devoted armv to safeguard her Independence and we do not wish to give Its o'llrers the means of descending to the forum. We must rally around the army." The motion for urgency was then de. feoted by 47.' votes against 20. In the t,enali- a stormy dls-cussion took place over a bill Increasing the penalties for espionage and treason. There wero frequent references to Dreyfus. Eventually the bill, which prc-scrlbcs death for state olliclaU who are Tuiltv of treason In time of peace was adopt ed. BOTTLE TRUST.

Ho expressed his entire satisfaction over the trip. In this sentiment every mem ber of the cabinet aboard heartily coin cided, while General Wheeler and Gen eral Shafter repeated the eulogistic ex pressions already made in their public speeches. Th general Impression prevailed that the trip had cemented to a marvellous degree the good feeling between north and south, and had brought Into proml nnce the excellent condition and capa bilities of tho army. The original oh ject of the visit, to celebrate the peace with Spain, lout Its significance directly after the president's memorable utter nnce regarding the care of the Con federate dead.
