PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS.
(From Manila Times of October 14th),
CONTRABAND CAPTURED. This morning 42 Filipinos were brought in before the Provost Marshal, General. They had been taken prisoners at Mariquina for trying to carry large supplies of rice through the American lines to the rebels, and were held up by the guards. After careful examination by the Provost Marshal General, the entire lot were given their liberty, but the rice and other supplies which they carried were confiscated by the Government.

A CHINESE SMUGGLER
UNEARTHED.
While Detective Romuldo of the Secret Service was out yesterday afternoon watching for a burglar on the waterfront. he noticed a large and heavily ladden banca being swiftly paddled up the Binondo canal.
Scenting game he quickly followed the cande which was manned by a Filipino. The host soon ran under the wharf, and from the shadow of a house several Chinese coolies emerged with baskets into which they cum- menced to load the goods and carry them ashore.
The detective followed them to a house on Ormiga street where a wealthy Chinaman nam ed Ang Soong Wang maintains a business establishment. After a while he entered the house, and bluffing the Chinaman told him that the game was up. Wang fell into the trap and offered the detective $5oit he would keep quiet. Romeldo took the money and immediately re- ported to his chief. Secretary Pelle and Dc tective Roper then visited the house, and in- formed bin that they knew what he was up to, and wanted to know what he had to say. The Ching offered them $100 this time to keep quiet. They took this also and promptly handcuffed the fiscal. Wang soon raised his bid to $tooo if they would let him go, and use their influence in keeping off the detectives that he might operate in future undisturbed. Meanwhile Roper was engaged in gathering up a large store of smuggled good and piling them in the middle of the room, and Pelle called in Lieutenant Trowbridge who had been awaiting developments outside. Wang was evidently of the opinion that there was no man without his price, for he offered the chief Sicco more, but he only made matters worse for himself,
He was arrested and two carretons of sinuggled inerchandise taken from the house, consisting of valuable stuff goods, silks, etc, valued at nearly $10,000 mex.
Later in the day Mr. Pelle made a search of some of the Chinese stores in town and dis- covered more goods corresponding to those seized.
This is an important capture as Warg is thought to have been operating an extensive smuggling business for some time past."
Great credit is due to the native force of detectives of this department; of which Ro- mulado is one. They are doing very valuable work and prove exceedingly successful in what they undertake. They treat all criminal classes alike, and little ever escapes their notice.
MCKINLEY TO THE CUBANS, Governor General Brooke has received the following proclamation from the President:
"Executive Mansion, Aug. 17, 1899. To the people of Cuba: The disorganized condition of your island, resulting from the war, and the absence of any generally recognized authority, aside from the temporary military control of the United States, have made it necessary that the United States should follow the restoration of order and peaceful industry by giving its assistance and supervision to the successive steps by which you will proceed to the es tablishment of an effective system of self government.
As a preliminary step in the perfonnance of this duty I have directed that a census of the people of Cuba be taken and have appointed competent and disinterested citizens of Cuba as enumerators and supervisors.
