The insurgent losses during the last ten days there have been five killed, seven wounded and forty taken prisoners. The | Americans have lost two killed and three wounded. Large numbers of the natives, however, are swearing allegiance to the United tes. In several recent attacks and ex- peditions In Southern Luzon the insur- s ve lost eight killed, seven wound- ed and about twenty captured. | The Americans have lost one killed and two wounded. Most of the time of the Philippine Com- mission is now devoted to the tariff bill. Judge Taft said to-day that generally the new rates would be about t of the existing rates. “It will be essentially a tariff for rev- enue,” he remarked, “‘but some of the in- dustries that are already established will be given protection. The commission is not considering the question of the con- stitutionality of taxing United States products, The precedents have been es- tablished in the case of Porto Rico and by the military government of the Philip- pines. The rate on kerosene will be re- duced from 11 cents a gallon to 4 cents, Some American goods will be admitted free, and almost all will come in at re- duced figures.” MISTAKEN FOR A FILIPINO.

About 300 American solders held the town of Catbalogan, being constantly harassed by the insurgents under General | Lukbon on the surrounding hills. This led to strict orders to kill all natives out after dark. On October 27 a rebel officer came into town under a flag of truce and delivered over Bergeant Rice and Corporai | Allen of the Forty-third Infantry, who were captured last March.

CHINESE SUES CHIEF OF POLICE FOR DAMAGES Lew Quan Fong of Los Angeles Ob- jects to a Raid Upon His Premises. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16—Lew Quan Fong has grievances which he thinks can be soothed only by the balm of $5000 dam- ages from the Chief of Police of Los Angeles, Charles Elton, and his bonds- Surety Company of New York. The Chinese conducts a mer- cantile business under the name of the “Sim Wing Wo Company,” at 421 North Los Angeles street. Lew claims that the Chief, on November 22, November 2§ and 7, “with force and arms ma- liciously and against the protests of the plaintiff and without probable or other cause, searched and ransacked his prem- ises, broke open drawers and private re- ceptacles and cabinets, examined private papers and property.” Lew sums up his grievances as follows: (1) Humillation, () contumely, (3) disgrace, (4) loss of business standing. The aggrieved Chinese alleges that through the acts of the chief people have been led to belleve that he, an innocent Chinese, has been harboring ‘criminals and | evidences of crime, all of which is dis- tasteful to a respectable, law-abiding cit- izen, who conducts only a ‘‘mercantile business. - Chief Elton, when asked about the mat- ter, said that Lew had made such a slight impression upon him that he could not, upon the spur of the moment, remember the Chinese or his place of business.
