Manila , Nov. 1. General
reports the complete surrender of the
Insurgents In the Island of Colin , eon-
BlBtlng of 450 men run ! GO otlloerfi , with
150 rllles and eight brass field pieces.
The pouring of troops Into the Is
land of Samar Is believed to have had
n-good effect on the Cebu Insurgents ,
who had been wavering for some time.
The malcontents kept up the conflict
by saying that a majority of the Ameri
can troops had loft the Philippines.
Advices just received hero from Cat-
lialogan , Samar , say that twelve men
of company G , of the Ninth Infantry ,
under command of Sergeant \\Mllford ,
who had been sent to San Antonio to
Investigate and report In regard to
the number of bolomon In the vicinity ,
were attacked by HO Insurgents , who
rushed on them with great violence ,
Idlling two of the soldiers and wound
ing two o icrs. Wlllford remained
cool and collected during the attack
and the sin /Ivors say he acted splen
didly. Fourteen of the Insurgents
'
were killed.
The Philippine commission has
drafted an act against treason and se
dition. The enalty prescribed for trea
son Is death and the act Is framed to
.Include those persons giving aid and
comfoit to the Insurgents. Persons who
utter seditious words or who write
libels against the United States gov
ernment or the insular government are
punishable by the imposition of a fine
of $2,000 or 10 years' Imprisonment.
For breaking the oath of allegiance a
fine of $2,000 or Imprisonment for 10
years Is fixed as the penalty. Foreign
ers are placed under the same laws as
are Americans and natives.
CAILLARD RETURNS TO PORT.
I
French Squadron Which Sailed for
Levant Is Suddenly Recalled.
Paris , Nov. 1. The following dis
patch was received from Toulon : "Tho
complete Mediterranean squadron re
turned to Toulon last evening and an
chored In the roadstead. "
This would Include Admiral Call-
lard's . division , whose departure has
thus "either been countermanded or
postponed. It Is thought that the gov
ernment has received news from Con
stantinople which has not yet been
divulged and which has induced a
change of plan.
It was reported that Admiral Call-
lard had been ordered to cruise within
reach of a dispatch boat for possible
further instructions , and It Is signifi
cant that the torpedo boat destroyer
Halledoublon left Toulon yesterday at
full speed to rejoin the squadron.
Editorially , the Figaro and other
morning papers express surprise at
this unexplained move after the dis
patch of Admiral Calllard to the Le
vant had been officially announced.
i The Marseilles correspondent of the
Matin says the return was due to the
fact that the squadron was supplied
with only two days' rations ,
U A dispatch from Toulon to the Fi
garo confirms the report of the return
of the squadron , and adds that Ad
miral Calllard's squadron Is held In
readiness.

age him ( meaning Commodore Schlt-y ) ,
it's all that wo have been able to dote
to work him up to this. "

boat Resolute during the war and his
