THE REBELLION IN THE PHILIPPINEs

The rebellion in the Philipines is far from being crushed, Fighting, more or less severe, is still roing on in Central Luzon, and although the Spaniards claim all the victories, there isno doubt the rebels are making stubborn defence. Emilio. leader of the insurgents, has ly a proclamation in which the administration of the islands is denounced; the Filipinos are called upon to take up. arms in a desperate struggle for liberty; and the banishment of the priests is insisted upon. This man has, it is said, proved himself an able and cautious general, and while holding his own against great odds, he has shown moderation in Victory and by his considerate treatment of his captives. He is now securely entrenched in the mountains in the centre of Luzon, and the Spaniards will find it dificult to dislodge him.
