A Washington special says : Efforts
are being made by the postofilco de
partment to aid the now postmaster at
Omaha , Joseph Crow , in assuming the
duties of his office on April 15. Mr.
Crow filed his bond with the postofileo
department for $100,000 and It now ap
pears that this Is but half of the bond
necessary In offices of the first class.
Bonie time ago a law was passed pro
viding that clerks In postolllces should
bo bonded by recognized surety compa
nies and It was presumed that this law
would considerably abate the bond of
the postmaster. The postofllcc depart
I" ' . ! ment , however , takes a different view
of the matter. The chief of the bond
ing division , In speaking of the Omaha
situation , said today that while the law
was applicable to clerks , It was thought
best by the poBtofllco department still
to Insist upon the amount of the orlgl-
nal bond.

tion has boon ordeied to Manila and
ho will return Immediately. All terri
tory taken by Law ton will bo evacu
ated. The captured launches will bo
returned to their former owneis , from
whom the Filipinos took thorn. Lawton -
ton authorized this statement at 1'acto
this morning :
"The .present prospect is that 100-
000 troops will ho necessary to pacify
the islands. The dllllculticu arc those
of fighting guerrillas In a tropical
country. With a brigade I could force
my way to the oml of the Island if I did

During the nbsence of Major General
Lnwton's expedition to the Santa Crux
district , on the southeastern sldo of
Laguna do Hay , the insurgents have
been concentrating at the northern end
of the lake , near 1'aslg , and the Amer
ican scouts report that several thou
sand arc already there.
General Luwton's expedition Is now
m Its way back.
Two hundred and Ilfty Chinamen
from Santa Crux have arrived hoio.
They loft the town , owing to their
fear that the rebels , on re-entering It ,
ivould wreak vengeance upon them
'or favoring the Americans.
War has become so commonplace an
jxporlenco to Manila that the average
3ltlzen no longer thinks of becoming
QxclU-d over It. Every night some
point of the horizon Is crimsoned by
Lho rollectlon from burning huts , klu
lled by the soldiers to dopilvo the In-
mrgonts of hiding places. Every night's
inlet Is shaken by the firing from the
line oncoinpnHHlng the city. Every
morning brings its pitiful little con
signment of uncomplaining wounded
to the hospital. Manila forms an
A.merlcan oaais In the Island of Lu-
son. Around the city stretches a thin
line fifteen miles long of entrenched
soldiers.
The Filipino goes into the field un-
jncumboreu with useless baggage. Fol
lowing the course of their retreat be
yond Guadalupo church wont the cou-
fonlr enthusiasts who hung about the
( Unerlcan army. They found nothing
more than a few tin cooking utensils
ind empty cartridge shells , whoso pat
tern prove that the Insurgents have
Lho latest style of rifles. Trousers or
drawers , n shirt , cartridge belt and
i'lflo , a section of bamboo stalk filled
ivlth rice , a handful of green poppers
.led In n handkerchief , sometimes san-
: lals these form the equipment of ix
Filipino soldier.
No finer country for defensive fightIng -
Ing and no more embarrassing for of
fensive operations than the land
around Paslg lake could bo Imagined.
The Chinese are the scavengers of the
war. Llko vultures they hover In the
wake of the army , flocking down upon
the ashes of every hut and the ruins
of churches to dig out stuff that no
white man could possibly use.
Being beyond suspicion of any Inter
est In the hostilities save gain , they
arc admitted to the camps and employ
ed as servants. Some of thorn peddle
water and cigarettes on the lino. One ,
more daring than most , crept about
the trenches of the Kansas regiment
under n hot flro and did a good trade.
When competitors appeared ho has
tened to point out to them the spot
where a soldier had been wounded ,
seemingly Impressing on them the dan
gers of their position , for they ran
away.
The forces of destruction are con
centrated upon the churches. They
are all solid buildings of stone , so the
natives UBC thorn as forts. Some church
has served as the keystone of nearly
every Filipino defense and the Ameri
can artillery Is compelled to batter
them.
Quloocun church ia ti picture of the
havoc of war. There General MacAr-
thur has his headquarters. The roof , a
sky blue fresco , studded with gilt stars ,
has Jagged holes where shells , from
Dowoy'8 ships came through. Within
the chancel rail Is the olllco of the
staff and the pulpits are used for
desks. The rail holds a string of sad
dles , a talc-phono hangs besldo the
statue of n saint , while the telegraph
clicks Incessantly In an alcove. Cots
and hammocks fill the body of the
church , where soldiers are sprawled
out smoking nml reading when off
duty. A hospital occupies a chapel In
a corner. The soldiers do not lack
reverence , but everything must bond
before their work.
