FILIPINOS ACTIVE IN MOUNTAINS

Natives, Accord in g to Mall Advices, Are Causing Much Trouble. The Manila mail brings intelligence of the activity of the insurgents in the mountainous districts of Tobaco, Malnnao and Tivi, in Albay province. The rebels number 300 and the native constabulary is out daily. At Bantayau, six natives were killed and three Chinese carried' off. A sick constable at Malanao was captured and his arms and legs were cut off. The American soldiers report that they are unable to get any aid from the natives, not even guides being furnished. In the vicinity of Malolos the chief amusement of the Ladrones seems to be to annoy the land tax department. In the town of Pulilan the deputy was fired on half a dozen differeint times. At last accounts a vital spot had not been reached. Guevarra, the ex-insurgent, is reported to be doing splendid work for the civil authorities in Samar. When military rule was discontinued a band of Dlosdes revisited their rendezvous. They were preparing to move against the civil authorities when Guevarra sent them word to disband unless they wanted the “crows to feed on their carcasses.” They obeyed.
