MANILA. March 19. Gqucral Otis considers Manila the most trouble some center In thc situation today. Thc Insurgent junta here , In conjunc tion with that in Hong Kong , is grow ing active. The military authorities have been forced to put a stop to Mublnl'H inter course with thc p.ubllc. The local and foreign press considers his recent ut terances calculated to Incite the Fil ipinos td a continued revolt and prej udicial to American control. wno HUB just nrrircu nere , says he coino.H trusting to American leniency and that ho would not have dared to come to Manila If Spain were yet In control. He cherishes thc hopes and avpiratlon which actuated him when In the Held and desires to watch congressional action on the question of thc Philippines. The Insurgents , do ' .not , expect , to vanquish the Americans , but are main taining a resistance with the Idea of forcing congress to liccord them the don't possible terms.

Reports are current here of active rebel reorganization In the province of 'Morong , where tin- Insurgent leaders are * sitld to be asMHted by prominent Spanish residents. Inhabitants of this province who are now In Manila have boon udviviod not to return to their hbnies , hut to remain under the protection of the Americans , Vf Is also reported that the rebelB are organizing In tl p province of Xam- bales , under Mascardo. Brigands arc committing atrocities in the prdvlnce of Nueva Hclgu , where they have murdered twenty natives and Chinamen. lOlght other murders have boon committed near Tarluc. The Nueva Eciga insurgents are heavily taxing farmers and local trad ers , with the result that business Is paralysed and there. Is a general scarc ity of fpod. ' ( 'he funds for maintain ing this guerilla warfare are collected from the various towns of the Island , whether occupied by Americans or not , oven Including Manila.

LOUISVILLE , Ky. , March 1 ! ! . The two governors of Kentucky were en tertained In this city today. Mi'snra. Taylor and Bcckhani both Insisted that they had come to Louisville on purely iioruonul business and that tlielr \lsltn , hud no political ( > lgntDcancc. They spent -tho day quietly , though both rocelvejl numerous culls from their political and peruontii friends. Governor Taylor and h4s associates among the icpuhllcan party lenders are very close-mouthed as to the na ture of the mission on which Surveyor of the Port C.M. . Barnett and Collector of Internal Revenue Sapp left for Washington last night after their con- fertilise wilh Taylor , but there Is little doubt It has to do with thc national administration's recognition of the state officers. The latter , do not con ceal their purposes to hold on to their positions until the United States su preme court has pnppcjl upon the ques tion of their right to hold them. They dp not Intend to surrender the state buildings and records after u de cision by the state court of appeals , It that court should decide against them. 'I here has been some talk that the democratic officers may try to exercise their functions in earnest In case they are uphold by the couit of appeals , which they regard as thc court of last resort In their cases and it Is believed the republicans wish to | : npw the feelIng - Ing of the national leaders of their party toward their policy. The governorship case Is still In the circuit court of this county. Judge Field is expected to dispose of It this week , when It will bo taken to the court of appeals. A week or two more will be consumed by the proceedings before tkut court. Govurnorfl Taylor nnd Ueckham will return to Frankfort tomorrow. PACIFYING THE FREE STATE. Work IvKiiciiKlnK nil the 'I'lino of Itob- ITS nt I'rrHi'iit. LONDON , March I ! ) . The peaceful cnnquoht of the Orange Free State 1 ' 'ogresses so evenly that It Is now believed there'will be little or. no I'ghtlng until Lord Robert/ * reaches the Vnul river. How soon he Intends , tj mint out with this objective Is not yet hinted at , but thc pacification of. ! llc Free Staters seems now engaging all his attention.Vhon the .move c iiinoa it will doubtless be accom plished with the secrecy and swiftness \\hleh huve characterized all the Brlt- Mh advances since Lord Roberts as ruined command. In the meanwhile the fate of Mafe- I'ing remains unknown. The revolt of the Cape Dutch In the northeast hceins to have had Its back broken and It Is likely General Kltch- ( nor will soon resume his place beshU hip chief. The lulljthut lets thc British troop. , ' .n Natal and the Free Stale recuper- ute brings no rest to the engineers and transport service. Girourd , the youn : ; Canadian olllccr , who rules supreme i < ver the railroads , Is now putting hi * p'yfttem to t'lie most severe test , in an endeavor to pour supplies from Cape town to Blocmfontcin. Commandant Oliver , af'er leaving Uurghersdorp , went to Rouxvlllo , vhero he Is ndw reported to ho with only a small force. Dr. Lcyds , the diplomatic agent of ( he Traiibvaal , has disappeared fron : Brussels. According to u Globe spe cial he Is believed to have come lo London , but nothing in known heio about 'his arrival. It Rooms scarcely likely that he would jump Into the lion's mouth and the energetic Boer representative IH more likely to bo suno heard of ar ono of the other European capitals. TO LAY TOOLS DOWN.

LONDON , Maroh 17. With the rail way communication to the Ca ; > e iti- tact , Lord Roberta \\lll in n very few days be in a position to begin the ad- vunce on Pretoria. Ills drop political Intuition , combined with his bold strat egy , Is having the result deslied in th > > btititliprn sections of the Orange Free b'lrtte. which are rapidly calming down Matching Is now the only point for Mixloty , and as It Is known that a force has left Klmberley its relief may be announced before many days pass. The y of the relle'ving column is heightened by the fact that It Is partly composed of regulars. In the 'lobbies ' of parliament lasc veiling It was rumored that Lord Rub orts Is about to Issue a proclamation Announcing that the former system of Government In the Orange Free State 1 < abolished and promising the Free Winters who Immediately Hiirrondeiol due consideration. It Is understood that all the conn ncntttl powers , with one exception , un compromisingly refused to intervene The exception Was Russia , whose re ply was couched in less firm language , i.lthough , like the others , she decline J to interfere. It Is said the pope als-j \ as appealed to , but he dpcllncd to do any thing beyond writing a letter to the queen , appealing to Imr to stop the further effusion of blood. Dr. Leyds' efforts with King Leopold were quite futile. The possibility of the destruction of Johannesburg IH still discussed here , but it is stated that the French and German shareholders would offer n strong protest. The latest development of the sur- lender of Hloemfonteln show that the approach of the British caused a stam pede. Thirteen trains , oaoh composed of forty cars , and all crammed with Hoers , hurried northward just before thc Hne was cut. Mr. Steyn would huve been compelled to surrender , but he pretended that h-j was going to visit one of the outposts , and at midnight took a carriage which was waiting for him outside the town and tlius escaped. The Boers got the bulk of their wagons and military stores away. Lord Roberts' success In hundllne ; the civil problems at Bloemfonteln i > nd the manifest equanimity with vhlcli the residents of the capital of ( he Orange Free State accept the Brit ish occupation momentarily eclipse in interest the military situation. It is believed here that the commamlcr-ln- chief of the British forces In South Africa wll } soon push on to Pretoria 'tint Great Britain Is quite content to listen for a few days to the acclamation o' the people of Blocnifontein and per mit the troops to enjoy a few days' lest before expecting further success. 1 ord Roberts made a quaint speech to the Guards at Bloemfonteln today , Mhen , in his first congratulatory worcta ho expressed pride in their splendid march of thirty-eight miles in twenty- eight hours , and gave ample assurance of hin ultimate design. "Through a small mistake , " said Lord Roberts. "I have not been able to march into Bloeinfonlein at the head of the brigade , as I intended. I promise you , however , that I will lead you into Pretoria. " TREASllRYn/\RDAT / WORK. _ _ ruiulhiK ilt OM .l.oiijj Term lloiulH CIIINI'S MID CruHh. WASHINGTON , March 17. The ofl- flclalh'of the treasury rtVe overrun With work as the result of the passage of the new financial bill which Involves the funding of old long term bonds Into now gold bonds bearing 2 per cent Ii'terost. Thc applications for the ex change of old bonds for the new up to the time of closing the dopaitment to day , amounted to about $27,000.000 all but $3,000.0000 coming from National bunks. The clerical force in the oflice of the comptroller of ( he currency is busy examining applications for au thority to establish national bunks under the now law. Very many of these come from small towns which hitherto were debarred from National bank privileges by the national bank act. About , 200 of thcao applications liavcs boon received , and today favora ble action was taken on a number of them. A considerable number of state banks have applied for .authority to convett themselves iuto national banks. . DRYAN NOT TO DE PRESENT. Assertion Muilo Hint Ho will Stn.v A : iy I'roni UaiiKiis Cllj.

The general was in the uniform of a brigadier general of the volunteer army. He looked the picture of health ; better than when he loft Washington for Manila. He gave General Corbln : i brief description of the conditions in Luzon when he left. He Insisted that the war1 was * over and that noth ing more was to he done except to run down a few guerrillas and irregulars. There wu . difficulty la this work , he said , and there was danger , too , but Its prosecution was not "war. " Am buscades were frequent and annoying and it was not easy to tell whether the hidden force was strong or weak ; three or four men had been mistaken for a company in some cases. The general said that the American troops are doing splendid work there. ' 1 hey are sound and healthy and In quite as good shape as they would be at home , engaged In similar ser vice. This was owing in a measure to the excellent care for their men exhibited by officers and to the watch ful precautions of the staff of the aimy. TAYLOR TO M'KINLEY AGAIN.
