INSURGENTS AGGRESSIVE. lulled States Troops Kept In the Trenches Sleeping- in Their Clothing-. Manila, May 30. The approach of the wet season finds the insurrection seemingly taking a new lease o f life All along the American lines the rebels are showing more aggressive activity in their guerilla style, than any time before or since the fall of Malolos. They keep the United States troops in the trenches, sleeping in their clothing and constantly on the alert against dashes on our outposts and then make life warm for the American garrisons in the towns. The bands of General Luna and Gen" eral Mascardo, which retreated toward Tarlac when they feared they would be caught between General McArthur and General Lawton. have returned in force to their old trenches around San Feanando, where there are daily collisions. col-lisions. Opposite our lines on the south, protecting Manila, all the way around to Sau Pedro Macati. the Filipinos Fili-pinos have three rows of trenches most of the distance Heports from prisoners indicate that ihe insurgents construe the peace negotiations ne-gotiations to mean that the Americans have had enough of lighting. The Filipinos are encouraged by the belief that the Americans arc preparing for an interval of inactivity during the wet season. This period is sure to be followed fol-lowed by much suffering. Thousands of acres of land that were under cultivation culti-vation last year have not been plowed this year and the government will probably be obliged to feed thousands just as it fed the Cubans.

Tb Mahogany Market. Speaking of the business of cutting mahogany timber in Central America, a writer In the New York Times says: "The relative cheapness of mahogany logs is making revolutions in furniture manufacturing. The sailing vessels and steamers engaged in the trade are more numerous than ever before, and each steamer may bring 700,000 feet of mahogany logs to New York, and the sailing vessels from 200,000 to 300,000 feet. The Central American forests are not being ruthlessly destroyed as are many of our American woods. In Central America, where the forests are controlled by Americans, two trees are planted for every one cut. This wiso policy Insures a permanency of supply that practically makes the wood inexhaustible. inex-haustible. The trees cut for this mahogany ma-hogany trade average 25 Inches in di ameter, and run up to 40 inches." Twn trees are planted for every one cut in Central America. In the south millions mil-lions of valuable timber trees are cut annually and none are planted. We have mucu to learn evidently from the Central Americans and other peoples about the rational care of our natural resource. |
