Manila. April 20, 6:80p. m. Spain s
evacuation of the Philippine islands
will be practically completed by the
withdrawal of the Spanish garrison
from Zamboanga, island of Mindanao,
and Snlu islauds, and if • the United
States assumes control in Mindanao
and Salu islands on the Spaniards
withdrawing the military authorities
here must, in order to garrison these
islands, diminish the forces of American
troops, which is already too small
Natives of Zamboanga emboldened
by a suspicions capture of armaments
on the Spanish gunboats which were
purchased there by Francisco Reyes, of
this place, are likely to prove trouble-
some when the Spanish garrisons are
withdrawn from coast towns on the is-
land of Mindanao. Iris believed the
smouldering tribal wars will then he
resumed, anarchy will prevail and the
inhabitants in nearly every village will
fight with their neighbors.
A triparte exchange of prisoners will
be arranged if it is possible to negotiate
with the Filipinos as if they were i
civilized nation. If the Filipinos con
sent to the release of Spanish prisoners
the Americans might release the Taga
h’S that they hold prisoners, in return
for which Spain would free her politi
cal prisoners.
Provisions of the Paris treaty would
thus be carried out. The Spanish com
mission however, hesitates to enter
the Filipino lines, fearing treachery,
although Agniualdo has guaranteed
the safety of the commissioners. The
release of the Filipinos held by Ameri
cans might be distinctly advantageons,
as they all claim to be encouverted to
the American cause by the good treat-
ment they have received and announce
themselves to bo anxious to influence
their friends in favor of the poliev of
the United States.
A scouting party of the Minnesota
regiment near Guiguinto, between Ma-
lolos aud Bigaa, met a superior force of
Filipinos this morning. The Americans
repulsed the enemy's attack until, just
as their ammunition was failing, the
Minnesotans were reinforced by two
companies of American troops and the
rebels scattered One, soldier of the
Minnesota regiment was wonuded.
A body of about 100 rebels tried to
break tbrongh the lines of Price's bat
talion of the Fourth regiment at Pasig
last night, but they were repulsed with-
out any loss on the American side.

GOING TO COLORADO.
Proponed Reinforcement Sufficient,
Washington, April 20-Secretary
Alger has received a reply from Gen.
Otis to his inquiry of yesterday, as to
whether the reinforcements proposed to
he sent to him to relieve volunteers
would be sufficient for the purposes of
tne campaign, Otis replies in the af
firmative. Therefore, Otis adds, he
expects shortly to be able to report a
decided improvement in the situation
in the Philippines.
It is the purpose of the administra-
tion to Bend to Manila almost as many
regular regiments as there are volun-
teers to be returned. There are fifteen
volunteer regiments to return borne,
commencing May 5. Six regular regi-
ments are now on the way to Manila.
With their departure, only three in-
fantry cammands will remain in the
country available for service in the
east. It is understood that if the con-
ditions continue satisfactory in Cnba, a
couple of regiments of infantry will be
drawn from that island and the Elev-
enth from Porto Rico. There is talk of
dispatching cavalry to General Otis.

Austin, Texas, April 20-The special
oommittee appointed by the senate to
give a hearing to the parties interested
in the Arkansas anti trust bill now
pending iu the Texas legislature, today
made a report to the senate recommend-
ing the hill be passed without any
amendments at all save one to provide
that the bill shall not become operative
until January 1, 1900.
state representatives of labor unions
of the state ask that they be exempt-
ed from provisions of the bill by amend
ments, hut as the hill does not t inch
them, in the opinion of the committee,
it is suggested no amendment be added
to the hill. In this particular the house
committee report dissents iu that it
recommends an amendment exempting
labor unions he added. The house com
mittee also tacked on an amendment
providing that no insurance company
pooling in another state in t ie union
and doing business in this state shall
be held responsible for the pool without
the state. This is where the strong
fight will come over the passage of the
bill, as this is the danse the insurance
people want added. A majority of the
house are opposed to this amendment
and the pr-Labilities are the bill will
pass without it.
