Fillpinos Lay Down Arms.

Col. Bolanos, with five officers and forty-one rifles, has surrendered at Lipa, Batangas province. The recent battle with the insurgents at Lipa, in which Lieut. Springer was killed and Capt. Wilhelm and Lieut. Lee were mortally wounded, was begun by the Americans. The disproportionate number of officers hit is said to be chargeable to the fact that there were several deserters from the American army with the rebels. The island of Panay is being ravaged by rinderpest.
