MORE ISLANDS SEIZED
GUNBOAT PRINCETON RAISES FLAG
OVER ADDITIONAL GROUPS.
Flag of Japau Found Floating Over On
Inland-Till (tun Was Let - Entirely
Alone Government Ordered Huch Ao
tlon to lie Taken.
Manila, Fob. 13. -It is reported that
the United States gunboat Princeton
visited tho Tatnues and Balngan islands,
which wore omitted from the Paris
treaty of jxvice, being north of 20 de
grees of latitude, raised Amoaican flags
and nppoiuted native governors. It is
added thnt the Princeton found the Jap
anese flag flying at the Rayat island and
refrained from landing there, pending
orders.
Reports' from native sources, which
arc not confirmed, say General Pio del
Pilar, tho insurgent commandcj, died of
liver recently.
Tho Princeton ooenpiod the northern
islands under a government order. The
report thnt the Japanese flng was foiuid
flying is not confirmed, bat there are
rumors tlmt Japan intended to take the
islands. Tho nntives willingly substi
tuted th.i American for the insurgent
ofllcials and took the oath of allegiance.
The nntives of Samnr and Leyto are
returning to their towns and the normal
conditions are being resumed.
SHOT FLAMING ARROWS.
The Rebels Fired Ton in In the Philip
pine -The riague Id
Manila.
Manila, Feb. 13. The insurgents in
Albay province, Luzon, adopted harrass
iug tactics against tho towns which the
Americans have garrisoned. They camp
in the hills and maintain a constant tiro
uiwu the American outposts. When the
troops sally against them, they scatter,
returning when tho Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows and have
thus burneda largo part of the town of
Albay. Indeed, most of the larger towns
in tlmt province are practically deserted
except by tho garriso;is. Scarcely any
of the inhabitants return to their
homes. They are camping in the iu
terior, nnd it is supposed armed insur
gents prevent them going laek. It is
reported tlmt there is much suffering
among them owing to the hick of food.
As a result of these conditions the hemp
business in thnt section is seriously hin
dered, and ships going for cnrgx8 are
compelled to take gangs of coolies to do
their loading. Hemp held in the interior
is qnito inaccessible.
Colonel Bell will take two regiments
and a battery through, the provinces of
North Camariues and South Canuinnes,
going there on transports. Many insur.
gents retreated to that part of the
island from Cavite and Batuugas prov
inces.
Another expedition will mm start to
garrison towns along the north coast of
tho Island of Mindanao.
Guerilla warfare continues south of
Manila. Two attempts have been made
to umbnsh tho Americans. Colonel
Schwnn, while returning to Manila with
his staff and an escort of a hundred cav
alry from Batnngas, was attacked by the
insurgents. The hitter were dispersed,
but tho Americans had five men
wounded.
Lieutenant Colonel Beacom, with six
companies of the Forty-second infantry,
held about a two-hour's fight with Gen
eral Pio Del Pilar's command, which at
tempted to ambush the Americas along
tho trail through Morong province, near
I he lake. Hero also the insurgents were
dispersed, but the Americans had sevoral
wounded, among them a captain.
General Bell is operating southward
through Zambnles priviuce with a small
force.
Another expedition is proceeding
northward from Subig.
It is reported thnt the insurgent gen.
eral Alejandro has recovered from his
wound and has assembled a large force
in that district.
The plague continues. Eight cases
were reported hist week among the
natives and Chinese. There is no ex-
citemeut, however, and business and
social lif o are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the
natives along the railroad in the towns
in tho northern coast. Two officers of
the 3(ith volunteer infantry have died of
the disease and another officer and sev-
ral soldiers have been stricken.

SPIES DOGGED MACRUM.
button Nald They Even liawtacked HI
ItaKKag-e to Learn Content of
III Merwage.
Wasiunttok, Feb. 12. Mr. Easton,
who accompanied Mr. Macrum from
Pretoria to this country, says in effect
that British spies tried to rifle Macrum'a
trunk anp grip on the steamer
bound from Lorenzo Marques to
Europe, that the conbuct of the
English on board was so outrageous in
its treatment of Mr. Macruni that the
captain of the steamer refused to salute
tho British flag at Zanzibar, that
throughout the trip a system of espion
age, evidently established for the pur
pose of learning the secret of Mr. Ma-
crum's mission, rendored the consul's
life niiserablo, thnt he had been actually
granted leave of absence by the state
department and that while on his way
he was dismissed from tho consulate
service and all sorts of discreditable
stories were set afloat regarding him.
J0UBERT TRYING
TO OUTFLANK BULLER.
Such a Rumor at Durban Churchill Said
Iluller Would Try Again -Explain
Situation.
Di'rban, Feb. 12. It was rumored
here that General Jonbert was march
ing with a column of 6,000 men to out
flank General Bullor.
London, Feb. 12. Winston Churchill
sent from Frere Camp to The Morning
Post a long review of the situation. He
said Buller would try again to reach
Ladysmith.
Londqn, Feb. 12. 4:40 a. m. Start
ling intelligence conies from Kiniberley
in the Cape newspapers just received by
mail in Loudon. It appears that since
Jan. 8 tho rations at Kiniberley have
been for tho most part horseflesh, so re
pnguant to women and children that
many refuse to eat. It also appears that
the death rate has been heavy, and that
the privations of tho.garrison have been
increasing steadily.
This news is startling because the cen
sor has not allowed it to be cabled. Pos
sibly snob, conditions exphiin the pres
ence of Lord Roberts at Modder river
and tho nppnrent preparations for an ad'
vance from thfct point.
London, Feb. 12. The war office is
sued tho 'following dispatch, dated Feb.
11, from tho general commanding at
CaiK) Town:
"Clements reports from Rensburg
that on Friday, Feb. 9, the Boers
tried to turn his right flank, but were
beaten off. Position maintained. Cas
ualties small.
"Kiniberley reports that tho T.oer
fighting force was apparently increased
on Wednesday, Feb. 7. Next day the
Boers commenced the construction of
trenches to tho east nearly parallel to
the Glacis and 4,000 yards from the Pro-
mier mino. A native reported that he
accompanied some Boers who left Mafe
king for Kiniberley, carrying with them
a six-inch gun and a quick-firing field
gun. The former openod lire on Kim,
berley.
"Otherwise the situation is un
changed."
Modder River, Saturday, Feb. 10.
Apparhutly tho Btxrs have brought all
their Ijjg gnus from Ma f eking to shell
Kiniberley.
Our naval guns shelled Magersfontoin
today, but the Boor guns were silent.
It is supposed the enemy have with
drawn their artillery. They are blowing
up the permanent way beyond Morton
siding.
The Boers still man their trenches,
but their numbers are apparently re
duced. Tho bulk of their force has gone
te Kimbcrley or toward our flank.
The Highlanders returned last night.
Before retiring they found the bodies of
12 Bwrs. They beliove the losses of the
enemy were heavier than those of the
British, bocanse that in addition to the
dead Boers found several had been
buried.

Growth of Trafll
Washington, Feb. 12. Captain Frank
M. Wells, chaplain of tho First regi
tnent of volunteers, who has just re
turned from tho Philippine islands,
spoke iu Garfield Memorial church under
the auspices of tho W. C. T. U. on the
liquor qn- rfiou in the Philippine islands,
Ho declared that since the Americans
took Manila f mr hundred places where
liquor is sold had sprung up in Manila,
while before tho Americans came to the
Islands Manila had only tliree saloons,
the Filipinos, he asserted, sjoke well of
the American soldiers save that they
said tho Americans were "bad peoplo"
when they had drunk too much liquor.
Whisky, he said, was sold in the bar
racks at Iloilo, not over 150 feet from his
headquarters, until ho put an end to it
by complaints to the colonel and provost
marslial. The transport Indiana, on
which he had returned to tho United
States, ho chdittcterizod as a "whisky

successfully attempted to have the sale
of liquors on transiKirts stopped while in
the Philippines.

GOVERNOR TAYLOR'S ACTION HA8
COMPLICATED MATTERS.
Befiimd to Sign the Louisville Agreement
Reconvened the LegiHlature In Frank
fort Some of the Troop Ordered Away
From tho Capital City.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. 12. The col
lapse of tho pence negotiations through
Governor Taylor's rejection of the Louis
ville agreement, and the hitter's action
in calling off tho London legislature and
reconvening the legislature in Frankfort
and practically withdrawing the troops,
h 1 1 loft the fight over state officers di
vested of many of its warlike features,
but in a worse legal tangle than ever.
Tho new alignments of the parties
after these developments are as follows:
The Republicans will stand on the le
gality of Governor Taylor's proclama
tion and adjourning tho legislature to
meet at London, and will hold to be
illegid all acts of tho Democratic legisla
ture since the date of tliat proc7f.m,,-u,
ADJUTANT GENERAL COLLIER.
chief among which are the adoption of
the reports of tho contest boards and the
declaration of the election of Governor
Goebel and Lieutenant Governor Bock
ham.
"If the Democratic legislators go back
to Frankfort the Republicans will insist
that John Marshall and not L. H. Car
ter is lieutenant governor and president
of the senate. They are free to take the
matter of the governorship to the fed
eral courts if they can make a case in
which such nn npical will he. If the
DenuxTats refuse to return to Frankfort,
they may tteuipt to force the attend'
ance of absentees. Meanwhile, they
will press the suit before Judge Tuft, in
volving the minor state offices.
J7Tho Democrats will dispute tho le
gality of G ivenior Taylor's proclama
tion adjourning the legislature to Loti'
don and buck again to Frankfort. They
will contend that the legislature was dis
persed by soldiers and adjourned to
Louisville by its own action m adopting,
with a working ' quorum, a concurrent
resolution to that effect; that its nets
have been lenl, including that by which
Goebel was declared governor; that.by
another concurrent resolution it may re
turn to Frankfort when conditions war
rant, as it is the only authority by which
its sessions may be transferred from one
place to another; that under the law the
legislature is the court of last resort in
a contest for the offices of governor nnd
lieutenant governor. . Meanwhile Beck
ham will be recognized by this legisla
ture as the legal governor.
TROOPS LEAVE FRANKFORT.
Adjutant Genenil Collier Nald Only
KiioiikIi Would lie Left to Do
I'ollee Duty.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 12. Troops
have poured out of Frankfort on social
trains, and only the soldiers from Cov
ington, Newiort, Lexington and Mor
gantown were (tamped in the capitol
square.
Governor Taylor remained quietly in
the executive mansion nnd did not visit
his office Sunday, giving himself a day
of rest, of which ho stood greatly in
need.
Adjutant General Collier said that
only n few companies of infantry would
be kept on duty here for a short time to
do police work around the capitol square
and guard the public building. They
would, he said, interfere iu no way with
the actions of the members of tho Leg
islature. Access to tho legislative halls
wonld m as five nnd unrestrained as it
was In-fore Governor Taylor issued the
proclamation declaring Frankfort in a
state of insurrection.
Some of tho members of tho Republi
can legislature may arrive from Loudon
to-day. Six came hwt night.
No iutinmtiou was received here as to
whether or not the Democratic members
of the legislature would adjourn their
session nt Louisville and come to Frank
fort to tnko part in tho general session.
It is Is'liovfd here, however, tliat they
will do so, probably by the latter part of
the week.

ACTUAL OUTPUT IS LARGE.
Dun' Itcvlew Said the Indu.trle Were
still SitrpaMinif Auy I're-
vioua Year. . .
New York, Feb. 12. R. G. Dun A
Co.'s weekly review of trade issued to
day said in irt:
"The industries are surpossing in
actual output work of any previous
year. Their new business is neither
correspondingly large, nor could such
orders be accepted by most industries if
offered, but enough are coming to pre
vent stoppage of works or much decline
in prices.
In woolen goods new business of re
markable volume sustains a marked ad
vance in prices, and in other hues of
importance, as in machinery orders, in
dicate a surprising foreign demand.
Meanwhile, though encouraged by the
abundance and ease of money, specula
tion dix-s not, in any direction as yet, gc
without a check far enough to de mis
chief. There is much of the speculative
spirit abroad, but also more caution than
is usually shown after a year of excep
tional prosperity. Perhaps the war in
Africa, with its possibilities of daily sur
prise, is in that respect productive oi
good.
No change of consequence yet appear!
in prices of wool, though the demand
from spinners is limited and it is per
ceived that they had previously supplied
themselves quite fully for the heavy
weight season, for which they have
taken very large orders. It is thought
by some that enforced sales of foreign
wool, which wns withdrawn from the
London sale in January in order to pre
vent a greater decline, may hereafter
affect this market.
Though prices of hemlock sole have
been reduced half a cent and of split
and some upper leathers, the boot and
shoe manufacturers are not yet inclined
to buy largely, as they are getting but a
small part of the contracts they need at
this season.
The weekly output of pig iron Feb. 1,
was 2i)8,01 1 tons, but stocks unsold rose
20,300 tons in January, indicating a con
sumption slightly smaller tlian the out
put when the month began.
As tho consuming works were natur
ally stopped about the holidays more
than the furnaces, the figures prove lit
tle, but Bessemer and Grey forge at
Pittsburg have not changed in price
during tho jmst week, and slightly lowei
offers of pig by southern and other new
furnaces at Chicago and eastern mar
kets have had little effect.
It is more significant that the decline
of prices for some weeks in bars, platef
and shoets has been checked. Large
orders liave been taken for these and
other products, indicating thnt the
works in need of business may have ob
tained enough for a time.
Failures for the week were 245 in the
United States, apiinst 217 hist year, and
83 in Canada, n gainst 35 last year.
