Madrid, Dec. 2.--Advices from the
Philippine islands say that the insur-
gents there have decided not to recog-
nize the cession of the islands to the
United States and that they will re-
sist to the last.
It is also claimed that the United
States will require seventy thousand
troops to put down the rebellion, and
it is alleged that the insurgents hold
ten 1thousand Spanish prisoners whom
, they will force to serve against the
Americans.
An official dispatch from General
Rios, the Spanish commander at Iloilo,
island of Panay, Philippine islands,
says the Spanish troops there have
made a successful sontie against the
enemy, inflicting heavy losses upon the
lnsurgents.
The insurrection, it is added, is now
spreading in the Visayas and it is as-
serted that the movement is not di-
rected against the Spaniards, but the
Americans.
The premier, Senor Sagasta, denies
the. repont that General Rios is nego-
tiating with the insurgents for the sur-
render of Ilollo to them.
A delegation from the Spanish cham-
bers of commerce has presented a pc-
tition to the queen regent, asking her
to intercede for the release of the Spa-
nish prisoners in the Philippine islands

been transported to Spain.
The Philippine insurgents demand

of the felty friars imprisoned since the

Lieut. Howard Bloomer, of Co. F,
3rd Connecticut U.S V who has re-
Cently received his p1omotion, was
calling on a number of his-old neigh-
~bors on Wedn; sday.
The blizzard of ’98, while pct as se-
vere as the one of ten years ago, suc-
ceeded in tying up traffic in this town
in a most efiectual,_way, and' it will
probably take a Week to open even the
main highways. But two trains suc-
ceeded in getting through on the Dan-
bury division on Sunday, and the first
trainsouth on Monday, due to leave this
place at (5:30 :1. 111., was three hours
late, while the morning mail from New
York. due at 7 o’clock, did not arrive
until three in the afternoon. But three
teams passed the post office from Satur-
urday night until five o‘clock Monday
evening. Heporls from all parts of
the town over half :1 mile from the sta-
tion, tell of immense drifts that will
take the town fathers many days to
clear. The mail-carrier from North

commissioners is proceeding rapidly,
the treaty will be signed within a
week.
The commissioners did not hold a
joint session yesterday, because cer—
tain clerical work was not completed.
The presidents agreed to defer the
meeting until two o’clock this after-
noon.
General Wesley Merritt, who has
arrived from London, was in consulta—
tion with the American commission
during tht morning relative to the con-
. ditions and necessary measures in the
Philippines.
General Merritt expects to sail for
New York on December 10, and hopes
to resume his duties in California or
New York until his retirement, eight-
een months hence.
Major Hale, of General Merritt’s
staff, who is now here, believes that
the United States, having taken the <
Philippine islands, will now have no
trouble-in securing the release of the
Spaniards whoare. held prisoners by
Aguinaldo.
Shafter Will Not Talk Back.
Brooklyn, Dee. 2.—In the Montauk
Club last night the U. S. Grant Post, G.
A. R., 'gave a’ dinner for its associate
organization, composed of one hundred
prominent civilians of that borough.
Nearly every one of note in Brooklyn
was present, the guests of honor being
Major General Shatter and Captain
Cook of the Brooklyn.
1t was thought to be probable that
General Shatter would take this oppor-
tunity afforded by- his toast, “The Un-
written History of the War,” to answer
the statements of Admiral Sampson in
his official report to the navy depart—
ment, published yesterday.
' General Shaf-ter, instead refrained
from alluding to the navy except to
praise it most warmly, and said in clos-
ing his address that he felt that “we
should be so happy and so proud at the
successful termination of the war that
We should be patting each other on the
back instead of calling each other
names."
Peace Treaty is Safe.
Washington, D. 0., Dee. 2‘.—-The pres—
ident and cobinet are not disturbed
over the sta’ements that the peace
treaty will not be ratified by the Sen-
ate.
All speculation' in this regard is
based on opinions expressed by sena-
tors weeks before the treaty was de-
cided upon.
In fact, senators now in the city re-
fuse to discuss the matter, saying no
one can tell what will be done with
ed.
By the time the document reaches
the senate, senator-snow quoted as op-
posing some of its provisions will have
had a chance to acquaint themselves
not only with its contents, but the pres-
ident's policy in regard ,to the new ter.
rltory as outlined in his message in re-
gard to the 1 ew territory.
The Keely Motor.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dee. 2.—The will
of the late John W. Keely, the invent—
or, was admitted to probate yesterday.
It bequeaths the entire estate, which
has a value of about 'ten thousand dol~
lars, to the widow, and also appoints
her executrlx’.
No reference is made in the will to
themysterions motor uponiwhich Mr.
Keely had been Working for’so many
years. The absence of mention was
a disappointment to the stockholders
of the Keely Motor Company. They
must now even the pleasure of Mrs.
Keely for an :xplanatlon of the motor,

lief that the inventor imparted to his
wife information on the mystery which
will be of value to the company.
Amnesty to Austrians.
Vienna, Dec. 2.—Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, upon the occasion of his jubilee,
the fiftieth anniversary of his acces-
sion to the throne, which occurs to-

A subject for the fool killer was
shown in the performance of one of the
Spanish students at VVhitlock‘s school,
who stayed out in the storm for half an
hour, Sunday morning, clad only in
his nuclei-clothing and a pair of seeks,
to win a wager of a dollar from one of
his fellow countrymen. A pair of bad- !
ly frosted bands was the only punish-
ment for his fool-hardy not. Neither
of the churches were open for services
on Sunday.
FRANCE BARS OUR FRUIT.
An Official Decree Prohibiting Its Impor-
tation. Also Plants.
Paris, Dec. 2.—The Journal Offieiel
ding the admittance into rance of fruit
and plants from the United States.
On November 28 it was announced
«that the French charge d'affaires at
Washington, M. Thibeaut, called at the
state department ', to advise Secretary
Hay that the French government was
on the point of adopting “precautionary
measures" against the introduction in-
to France from the United States of the
San Jose scale, adding that decrees
would be issued prohibiting the impor-
tation of trees, shrubs and plants from
the United States, and requiring an
inspection of all fruits, fresh and dried,
at the point of their landing on French
soil.
M. Thiebaut pointed out that these
measures were quite immaterial as af~
feeting the general trade from the
United States to France, as the ship-
ments of trees, plants and shrubs last
year aggregated only $328 and those of
fruit $40,000,
