WwKL'Stii'" " 'rrr-lC Hk.&'fMTi insurgents doom it imprudent to on pines: The organized lunnrrootion is practically at an end, and, therefore, the troops have to deal only with gnorilla bauds and outlaws. Yet in the last forty days the American forces here have lost more man, uioro arms and more supplies in tho so called pacified districts thnn during any previous period of like length 1 einoe the iusnrrection began. If this is what guerilla warfare means, thou we will noed morn troops eonie day, for tho uew method of fighting is proving more effective than any style that the insurgents have em ployed previously. Almost every day brings a report of some fresh ambuscade wherein small forces of our troops are attacked by a hundred or more Filipinos. Usually . one or nioro of our mon are killed, . and the rest aro driven away by sheer force of overwhelming numbers. Then follows a punitive expedition, but these sortieB Bcldom find a trace of tho enomy. y Invariably the insurgents know tho exact strength of the force they tiro . ambushing, for they usually lio in wait for small groups of ten or fifteen men, which they permit to npproach no close that their tirnt volley kills or wounds most of them, aud leaves the test utterly demoralized. Insurgents who livo within our lines, who aro auiigos in tho daytimo and enemies at night, have been par ticularly pernicious. It is now un safe, more than cvor bofcre, to move in small numbers, even in tho dis , triots which are presumably pacified by the presence of strong garrisons. The rank and file of the people in the towns are iu full sympathy with these marauding raids, for they nevor render belp by word or deed which ma mi BRINOINO IN A WOUNDED FILIPINO. will aid our troops in locating a nd whipping the guerilla bands, althongh it is certain that they are always aware of the plans and prospective move1 menti of these bauds. Even to-day there is not a native in Msuila, friendly though ho may pro less himself to be, who will breathe a word as to Asuinaldo's whereabouts, vet there are doubtless thousands who know exactly where be is, and many who doubtless are in constaut com xnunication with him. The list of our losses by bolo tneu nd ambushes iu the oconpied dis tricts since January 1 is rather start ling. A lint which I have selected from TOUTED STATES CATALBY IS PLAZA AT IJfDAN-THE CHURCH 18 IN THE CENTUE AND AN INBUIKJENT HOSHTAL, ON TUB RIGHT. the files of daily paper, and doubt less far from complete, shows that bout forty meu have been captured by tho lumi'geuts in the last forty 1ny, bb ninny -mora hare been killed and wounded, almost a hundred rilles and a great deal of ammunition has been Inst and a big quantity of rations linn fallen into tho enemy's hands. Mont of thoBe depredations have oo eurred in the territory which we now are supposed to hold, and all the en gagements would come under the head of amhUBhes and assassinations. There Ib cortainly a new condition of warfare confronting tho troops. The time is evidently gone for Mr, impos ing columns to march sedately through tho country, columns so big that the or opposition. When thu column has pnxsoil, tuey enmo out or the wooiis and fall upon tho little bauds of strag glers aud outposts and signal corps mon. From now on tho guerilla methods must be mot by smaller aud more mo bile forces. Ucuornl Lawton, with his great experience in this method of waging war, would hate boon quiek to adjust himself to tho new conditions. General Doll is pre-emiuoiitly qualified for tho kind of work that will now havo to be dono, whilo Oeuoral Funs ton, whose Cuban experience bus Oiled him well to meet the uew couditions, will undoubtedly adjust bis tactics to meet those of tho insurgents. OUR MACABEDE 8C0UTS Down in Negros Oeneral Smith has for some raontna been engaged in the guerilla kind of fighting, and he baa been able to crush it out. When a drepredation was committed near or in a town on the island he promptly imposed a heavy flue on the plaoe. After doing this several times tho cit izens resolved themselves into a sort of vigilance committee as a matter of financial preservation, aud the depre dations ceased with startling sudden ness. The Tagalos, however, are more tenaoious and vindiotive iu their fighting than the Visayaus of Negros, and it will require the most stringent measures and vigorous pursuit to put them down. With Aguinaldo loose in the islands the work will be harder and more dangerous and much more lasting. A column of cavalry moving through the Luzon country is an extremely picturesque sight. Fivo or six hun dred big American horses strung out in columns of twos make a very long and imposing line, and when the troop ers wear the.r rough-service uniforms, as they do out here, the effect is such as would be produced by a regiment of mounted cowboys. Just behind the headqnarters staff come the squadron officers the major and his staff. Behind then ride the troop ooraraanders, and then the first troop.

ESTEIUNQ HAN l'EDRO. A Ocuulne "Uoria Marine." When war breaks out, bringing with it a hurry call for cavalrymeu and mounted infantry, the efforts of recruits to inastor horsemanship in so short a time are lulicrons. To avert this a dummy horse has been invented on which unaoonstomed soldiers may practice mounting, dis mounting and other equestrian feats which require long practice. Such dummies are carriod on transports and LEARXIX0) TO HIDE HOnSF.DACK BOARD SHIP. the recruits go through daily drill with them, thus loarniug, by the time tney reacn tuoir uestiuation, tue rudi ments of horsemanship and rendering tueir subsequent lessons on real horses less awkward and slow. The "sileut steeds" are of the average height of the army troop horse, and the saddle and other accoutrements are of the regulation cavalry type, Saullincnt and lludneu.

Of course the very newest sleeve devel opment "the slnove of Ihe ycor," as it is callod is the undersleeve. As the cut shows, it is much like tho MR Rf.KEVR OP THE YE An. identical article worn by our grand mothers in "antebellum days." "Double sloove" is nnothor name for it. All the smart challies and foulards boast this arm covoring, which, of the foulard or clinllio. ends at the elbow, while underneath falls a scant fluff of white muslin not or lano, its fulness tethered into a close band at tho wrist.

Although wheeling hasn't nearly so many devotees among tjio fjishisaabjos as it had several years ago, the fair society bolle still ridos iu a desultory fashion and still keeps- a correct aud up-to-date wheeliug costnme in good order in her wardrobe. There is not much difference between the bicyole costume as proscribed by fashion now and that worn for golfing, only the golf skirt is a little lougor. As wom en are riding in much longer skirts at the present time the majority of them make the one costume do for both. Another thing, the rainy-day oi short skirt is so muoh the vogue, even for clear days, that several find a plaoe among ma belle's gowns. The two new ideas shown in the largo cut will serve equally well as bicycle, golf, outing or rainy-day gowns, and are reproduced from Harper's Bazar, The side-pleated shirt-waist of thu first one is a most attractive model for any shirt-waist, either of wash goods or silk, for utility or dressier wear. The front has a oeutre-stitched band and three deep outward-turning Eleats from shoulder to waist. The ack is similar, only with a box-pleat in tho centre. The dosigu of the skirt, with its nuuBual yoke effect, is es pecially suited to heavy galatea pique or very light weight two-toned cloth. This yoke is quite fashionable with New York women, and gives quite a trimmed appearanoe to an otherwise plain skirt. The salient ieature of the brown oovert cloth one, trimmed with stitobed bands, shown at the right, is its eharmiugly unique little jacket. This is belted in at the back, and fashion's autoorats aver it is sure to be popular, as it is so practicable, besides looking well either in wash goods or heavy material. The hat is also good one, as it is soft aud -becoming, yet it shades the eyes, too. It is of the latost style, heavy linen, oorded with black velvet and trimmed around the orown with bands and rosettes of the-velvet. -e" . - rf""T 'V. Of pa,HION. Tnnlr a la rirrrcntx.

Tbj alcoves, which bang in bell-thape from the shoulders, are ljeavjly inorusted with Venice lace about the lower part, both on the out side and on tho inside.
