GEN. BELLARNINO
HAS SURRENDERED.
A Notable Achievement of Colonel Wint
of the Sixth Cavalry.
LARGE FILIPINO ARMY CAPTURED.
Colonel Wint Came From China With Gen-
eral Chaffee, and at Once Sct About
to Clean Up the Province of Sor-
gon of Insurgents. Surrender of the
Entire Force.

| Manila (By Cable).—The force of the
{ insurgent leader Bellarmino, who have
recently been operating around Don-
| sol, province of Sorsogon, were driven
| across the mountains by the Second In-
fantry and finally captured by the Sixth
Cavalry. Bellarmino, with 1000 men and
| 284 guns, surrendered to ‘Colonel Wint
| at Albay, capital of the province of that
name,
Later in the day the official announce-
| ment of the surrender of Bellarmino
| was made. According to this account,
[ Bellarmino, who has been operating m
| the province of Sorsogon, surrendered
{ Thursday last at Legaspi, on Aibay
| Bay, with 32 officers. 215 guns and 3000
| rounds of ammunition. The insurgent
| presidentes of that section of the coun-
{try and many Filipinos accompanied
| Bellarmino, who gave himself up to
| Col. Theodore J. Wint, of the Sixth
| Cavalry. In all since June, 1081 insur-
| gents have surrendered in that district.
{ Colonel Wint's regiment came from
| China with General Chaffee. Before
| disembarking at Legaspi Colonel Wint
| went to General Chaffee and asked the
latter if he desired him to clean up that
part of the country. General Chaffee
{ replied: “Yes, but I do not command
until July 4.” In three weeks Bellar-
mino was cornered in spite of the theo-
| ries of many officers that cavalry could
not be used in effective operations in
such a country.
Former Filipino officers who belong-
ed to Malvar’s command report that 50
| insurgents were killed and that many |
were wounded by the command of Lieu-
| tenant Manaci (?) during a recent two
| days’ fight in the province of Batangas.
The insurgent General Cailles, who |
| surrendered at Santa Cruz, Laguna
| province, June 24, and his friends have |
offerel to negotiate with Malvar, the
{ insurgent leader in Southern Luzon, for
the-latter’s surrender.
The Twentieth Infantry has been or-
dered from Northern Luzon to Batan-
{ gas.

Washington (Special).—Upon an ap-
| peal taken by Rear Admiral Frederick
| Rodgers from the action of the auditor
for the Navy Department, in disallow-
| ing his claim for the pay and allow- }-
[ances of a major general of the Army
| from February 11 to March 13, 1901, as
a rear admiral above the nine lowest
| numbers of that grade, an important de-
{ cision has been rendered by Assistant
| Comptroller of the Treasury L. P. Mit-
| chell. In effect he decides that officers of
{ the Navy advanced in number, pursuant
to law, for service in the Spanish War
and carried as additional numbers, are
advanced contemporaneously with the
officers next above them.

| cotton-growing section. It is also an-
| nounced that a deal has been closed in

PIERRE LORILLARD DBAD.
Was Taken Sick in BEwgland and Aerived
Home om the Fourth of July.
New York (Special).—Pierre Loril-
lard, the millionaire tobacco merchant,
who became famous as a turfman,
yachtsman and bon vivant, died at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel,
The members of the family present at
the bedside when the end came were Mr.
Lorillard’s: daughters, Mrs. T. Suffern
Tailer and Mrs. William Kent, and their
husbands and Pierre Lorillard, Jr., and
wife, and also Pierre Lorillard III.
Mr. Lorillard’s present illness dated
from June 20. He was in England, and
went to his lodge at Ascot, hoping to see
his horse, David Garrick, run for the
Gold Cup. He had several of his stable
engaged for the events, but saw nonc
of the running, as he was stricken with
an uraemic chill, and was laid up at the
lodge for a week. Mr. Lorillard was not
at first disposed to heed suggestions that
he would do well to return to America.
But he was' suffering acutely from kid-
ney and bladder trouble, and at last he
consented to make the voyage. He went
from Ascot to the Carlton Hotel, Lon-
don, and boarded the Deutschland with
Dr. Kilroe and his valet. He was able
to walk on board the steamship, but at
once went to his cabin, and remained
there during the voyage. His condition
became graver daily, Dr. Kilroe Hnairy
informed him in how great danger he
was, but the patient insisted that he
would live until he reached New York.

At the Chicago World's Fair 58 per
cent. of the attendance was during the
last two months. Eight million paid
admissions, with the revenue from con-
cessions, will repay the cost of the Pan-

{ has perhaps counted ceriously against
the attendance to date is the short-limit
railway excursion tickets, which gives
the holder only one or two days at the
Exposition.
Some of the excursion people have
| expressed themselves strongly against
| any ticket having a limit of less than 15
days, claiming that two weeks is little

great educational institution.

Important daily features of the Expo-

re Farm Products Went.
Mr. Frank H. Hitchcock, chief of the
foreign markets section of the Agricul-
tural Department, has compiled statis-
tics showing the distribution of the ag-
ricultural exports of the United States
for the years 1896-1000. ‘
He shows that there were a dozen
countries in 1goo to each of which the
United States exported over $10,000,008
worth of domestic farm products. The
United Kingdom purchased $408.000,00¢
and Germany $134,000,000 worth.
The agricultural exports to the Unit-
ed Kingdom were the largest on record,
excepting those of the extraordinary
year 1808, when a valuation of $430.
000,000 was attained. In the trade with
Germany the exports for 1000 were de-
cidedly in excess of any previously re
ported and show an increase of nearl
improvements at Pago-Pago.
The Secretary of the Navy has allotte
$15.000 for building a governor's hous
