THE REBELS GET SUPPLIES.

United Status Gunboats Watching Coast of Samar. Manila dispatch: Advices from Catbalogan, Samar, say it is well known that, In spite of the fact that all ports of Samar are closed supplies still reach the insurgents. Most of this wdrk is done during dark nights by small boats from the Island of Leyte. Every available gunboat is now endeavoring to prevent this. The capture of Lukban’s commissary has proved a great blow to the insurrection, as it renders future supplies very precarious. Conditions in the Island of Leyte are very annoying to General Smith. A large number of junks are used with the express object of aiding the insurgents in Samar, covering the movements of fugitives and landing provisions and clothing.
