pines: The organized insurrection is
practically at an end, and, therefore,
the troops have to deal only wit)
guerilla bands and outlaws. Yet in
the last forty days the American
forces here have lost more men, more
arms and more supplies in the so
called pacified districts than during
any previous period of like length
since the insurrection began.

OUR MACABEBE SCOUTS ENTERING SAN PEDRO.
If this is what guerilla warfare
means, then we will need more troops
some day, for the new method of
fighting is proving more effective than
any style that the insurgents have em
ployed previously.
Almost every day brings a report of
some fresh ambuscade wherein small
forces of our troops are attacked by a
hundred or more Filipinos. Usually
one or more of our men are killed,
and the rest are driven away by sheer
force of overwhelming numbers. Then
follows a punitive expedition, but
these sorties seldom find a trace of the
enemy.
Itlvariably the insurgents know the
exacs strength of the force they are
ambushing, for they usually lie in
wait for small groups of ten or fifteen
men, which they permit to approach
so close that their first volley kills or
wounds most of them, and leaves the
rest utterly demoralized.
Insurgents who live within our
lines, who are amigos in the daytime
and enemies at night, have been par
tioularly pernicious. It is now un
safe, more than ever befcre, to move
in small numbers, even in the dis
tricts which are presumably pacified
by the presence of strong garrisons.
The rank and file of the people in
the towns are in full sympathy with
these marauding raids, for they never
render help by word or deed which

will aid our troops in locating and
whipping the guerilla bands, although
it is certain that they are always aware
of the plans and prospective move
ments of these bands.
Even today there is not a native in
Manila, friendly though he may pro
fess himself to be, wh w> ill breathe a
word as to Agninaldo's whereabouts,
yet there are doubtless thousands who
UNITED STATES CAVALRY IN PLIZ'L AT INDAN-TilE CHURCH IS IN THE
CENTRE AND AN INSUIIOENT HOSPITAL, ON THE RIGIIF.,
know exactly where he is, and many
who doubtless are in constaut com
munication with lim.
The list of our losses b7 bolo men
and ambushes in the ooaPi.ed dia
trite since January 1 is rather start
list which I have selected from
the files of a daily paper, and doubt
less far from complete, shows that
about forty men have been captured
by the insurgents in the last forty
days, as many more have been killed
and wounded, almost a hundred rifles
and a great deal of ammunition has
been lost and a big uantity of rations
has fallen into the enemy's hands.
Most of these depredations have oo
curred in the territory which we now
are supposed to hold, and all the en
gagements would come under the head
of ambushes and assassinations.
There is certainly a new condition
of warfare confronting the troops. The
time is evidently gone for big, impos
ing columns to march sedately through
the country, columns so big that the
insurgents deem it imprudent to offer
opposition. When the column has
passed, they come out of the woods
and fall upon the little bands of strag
glers and outposts and signal corps
men.
From now on the guerilla methods
must be met by smaller and more mo
bile forces. General Lawton, with
his great experience in this method of
waging war, would haie been quick to
adjust himself to the new conditions.
General.Bell is pre-eminently qualified
for the kind of work that will now
have to be done, while General Funs
ton, whose Cuban experience has fitted
him well to meet the new conditions,
will undoubtedly adjust his tactics to
meet those of the insurgents.
Down in Negros General Smith has

guerilla kind of fighting, and he has
been able to crush it out. When a
drepredation was committed near or
in a town on the island he promptly
imposed a heavy fine on the place.
After doing this several times the cit
izens resolved themselves into a sort
of vigilance committee as a matter of
financial preservation, and the depre
dations ceased with startling sudden
ness.
The Tagalos, however, are more
tenacious and vindictive in their
fighting than the Visayans of Negros,
and it will require the most stringent
measures and vigorous pursuit to put
them down. With Againaldo loose
in the islands the work will be harder
and more dangerous and much more
lasting.
A column of cavalry moving through
the Luzon country is an extremely
picturesque sight. Five or six hun
dred big American horses strung out
in columns of twos make a very long
and imposing line, and when the troop
ers wear their rough-service uniforms,
as they do out here, the effect is such
as would be produced by a regiment
of mounted cowboys.
Just behind the headquarters staff
come the squa-lron officers-the major
and his staft Behind them ride the
troop commanders, apd then the first
troop. Each eavalry regimont con
isats of twelve troops of 100 men each,
the regiment being divided equally
into three squadrons under the com
mand of majors.
Every trooper carries his entire
outfit on his horse's back. The cav
alryman's full kit consists of a bridle,
a halter, a saddle, saddlebags, blanket
roll, poncho, carbine, carbine boot,
lariat, picket pin, nosebag, curry comb
and brush, saber, two horseshoes (fit-,
ted to his horse), some horseshoe
nails, 140 rounds of carbine ammuni
tion, a Colt revolver and twenty-five
rounds of pistol ammunition and a
canteen. In addition to these things
he has his saddlebag more or less
filled wit rations. When a cavalry
man it Uunted, with jingling spurs
and bli nnel shirt, thrown open at
the ne , with his felt campaign hat
tipped rakishly over one eye, girt up
with all his paraphernalia for the fray,
he makes a very interesting total and
is likely to inspire respect in those who
see him. Several hundred of him,
mounted on big sixteen-hand American
horses, distinctively multiply the im
pressiveness of the picture.
The Growth of Our Citles.
America's growth, proportionate
and absolute, in urban population, has
been one of the marvels of the cen
tury.
Of the 4,000,000 population of the
United States in round figures in 1790
only 132,000 resided in the cities of
8000 inhabitants or over. In 1890 of
the 63,000,000 inhabitants of the coun
try as a whole 18,000,000 lived in cit
ies of 8000 or more inhabitants. The
city population of the United States,
which was in the neighborhood of
3.35 per cent. of the aggregate inhab
itants of the country in 1790,was 29.20
per cent. in 1890.
As the growth of urban population,
proportionate as well as absolute, has
been continuous for the past hundred
ears, and has shown a tendency to
crease in the past three or four de
cades, the chances are that the returns
of 1900 will show that more than thir
ty-three per cent. of the aggregate
population of the contiguous portion
of the United States reside in cities.
As the general tendency in nearly
all growing countries is for the cities
to increase faster than the rural dis
tricts the urban population is neces
sarily greater in the older nations than
in the younger communities. About
sixty-two per cent. of the population
of England and Wales reside in towns
of 10,000 inhabitants or over.--St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Queer Mice in Florida.
The animals of the woods and fields
and. swamps of Florida enjoy sunshine
and balmy weather nearly all the year
round, and some of them are peculiar
to that section.
One of the most curious of these
native inhabitants of the "flowerland"
is the "trading mouse." This little
creature derives its name from its
peculiar habit of carrying things away
and always leaving something in ex
change. It inhabits houses and the
woods, and there is nothing that it can
handle which it will not try to carry
off. If it succeeds it will leave what
it evidently thinks is a fair equiva
lent. Frequently a trading mcuse
will carry away a quantity of beans,for
instance, and will leave a pile of weed
seeds that it has gathered in the
meadow. The object of the mouse seems
to be to put something in the place
of the stolen article in order that the
latter may not be missed. It has been
known to steal jewelry and to leave
small bits of wood or weed etalks where
the jewelry had been. The trading mice
are similar in appearance to our com
mon mice, and, like them, prefer to
travel about in darkness.
A Fortress on VIheels.
The Indret works have just finished
the construction of An armored train
intended for the French army. Un
like the armored trains in use in the
South African war, the new wheeled
fortress iscomposed of wagons cylin
drical in shape, instead of the quad
rangular fQorm used in the English
army. The separate cars are so con
structed that they may be "telescoped"
one into the other, if required, in such
a way that the train may, at a moment's
notice, either lessen or prolong its
length, according to the resistance
manifested by the enemy.
The locomotive is also of cylinder
shape, and the forward portion of it
is encased in a massive steel cuirass.
The rear of the train is protected by a
similar armor device.
The new train is about 160 feet long.
Its maximum speed is fifty miles an
hour. Seen in movement from a dis
tance this new engine of war resem
bles a monster serpent gliding across
the earth by the simple motion of its
coils.-Philadelphis Record.
A Genluine "Horse Marine."
When war breaks out, bringing
with it a hurry call for cavalrymen

avert this a dummy horse has been
invented on which unacuonstomed
soldiers may practice mounting, dis
mounting and other equestrtman feats
which require long practice. Such
dummies are carried on transports and

the recruits go through daily drill
with them, thus learning, by the time
they reach their destination, the rudi
ments of horsemanship and rendering
their subseqpent lessons on real
horses less awkward and slow. The
"silent steeds" are of the average
height of the army troop horse, and
the saddle and other accoutrements
are of the regulation cavalry type.

Everybody has heard of the estraor
dinary ravages of the European rab
bits .that were introduced into Aus
tralia years ago. The animals were
imported so that the British subjects
who had removed to the antipo s
might enjoy the sport of rabit hult
Ing. They had more sport than they
bargained for and the whole country
regrets the days the little animal was
introduced to Australian scenes. There
are many millions of them now and
the little nibblers eat the grass, de
stroy fields, orchards and gardens and
are the great nuisance of the country.
The rewards offered by the various
colonies for some sure way of destroy
ing the pest would make the fortune
of the man who should discover the
process. Today, however, the Aus
trallans appear to be a little more re
signed under the infliction. The ides
occurred to them, a while ago, that
they might utilize the animal on a
large scale as a commercial commod
Ity. So they set to work to kill rab
bits by the thousands, can the meat
and send it to Europe in cold storage.
Australian canned rabbit sells at a
cheap price in the British markets and
is beginning to be largely consumed
by those who cannot afford very often
to indulge in prime beef. Australia
has found a new industry and who
knows but some day, the rabbit may
come to be regarded as one of the
great resources of the continent?

HIS DEADLY PRACTICAL JOKE
Humorous Man Poked His Umbrella
Into a Frioed's Beek and we Died.
It was a joke; a duet sung in cele
bration of Cuba's dawning era of prog
ress; a slap on the back and a play
ful retaliation with the prod of an um
brella, that together formed the merry
preface to a fatal tragedy. The actors
were Cubans. One, who died the other
day, was George Alamillo, a cigar
maker, whose home was in 182 Ham
burg avenue, Brooklyn. He was drink
ing and singing with his friend, Sam
uel G. Bagley, an insurance adjuster
at 50 Howard avenue, in a saloon on
Jan. 20. They cracked many jokes
about the ejectment of the Spanlards
from Cuba, and about the relative
merits of the cigar trade and the in
surance business. Suddenly Bagley,
by way of emphasizing his sense of
humor, jabbed his Cuban friend in the
back with an umbrella. It's sharp
point pierced Adpmillo's flesh. He
cried out in pain, but did not realize at
the time the serious nature of his
wound. His death was caused by
blood poisoning. Before he died the
Cuban declared that his friend was
blameless. But the police said they
would arrest Bagley, ift only to cure
him of his dangerously playful use of
an umbrella as a means to impress
upon a victim the point of a joke.-
