MANILA. March 19. Gqucral Otis

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

foreign press considers his recent ut

ipinos td a continued revolt and prej

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.

they have murdered twenty natives

The Nueva Eciga insurgents are

paralysed and there. Is a general scarc

TO WASHING TON FOR TAYLOR.
Two I'eilcrut ( ( nicer * I.eme to Ault for
lti't < inll | Inn.
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.

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.

LONDON , Maroh 17. With the rail

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. "

Manila to Washington. 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
