TIL SURRENDER OF ILO-ILO.
Ho-lo, 26th Dec, 1898. The bring hers was stopped last Monday and General Ries entered into an armistice with the Rebels on Sunday the 18th. The terms were that communications should be opened with the neighbouring islands, Negros ***especially; tind condition had not been fulfilled
by General Rios previous to the evacuation of this place, which commenced on Friday and filished on Saturday, but bostilities ceased. Generit Carballo, one of the Filipinos, whom I interviewed on the 21st inst., at Taru, toll me that he expected next day reinforcement to his forces of boo men, who were bringing 1,000 tilles and ammunition, and 14 guns, quick frers and others..
The Filipinos who have been attacking this place numbered about 30,000, but only about 1,000 were armed with rifles. They found that the Babailanes (the wild men from the moun tains-pig worshippers) were getting trouble. some and ad tey ivited the chiefs to a dinner. At this feast they executed a coup de grace; they made the chiefs lay aside their arms and in the niddle of the dinner an armed force of Filipinos appeared and made them all prisoners. They told the Baballanes chiefs they would have to disarm their followers or be executed on the spot. The chiefs made a virtue of necessity and disarmed their followers, thus removing one great source of auxicry.
TUR SPANIARDS 6D,
* On Friday Just and Saturday the Spaniards in Hoilo embarked. It was rather a sad sight to see the last emblem of Spanish authority disappearing. I must say that the Spanish troops deserve great praise for the manner in which they behaved. The troops, although they had undergone great hardships in the trenches, were very cheerful and apparently pleased to get away. They were in perfeci order, although one could see they were taking away little bit the clothes on their backs, and 1 am sure that dead Tommy Atkin's been through the same troubles as these men have there would have been troubles. It was pitiable to se some of the wounded carried on board the lighters and I could not resist the temptation of sending some champagne dir board to the invadids, which I can assure you they property appreciated.
i
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1899-
ventilated at the meeting this evening. I think I forgot to mention that on the 24th whilst the Spaniards were clacuating the town, an officer of the Secret Police, Phcica Maren, was assassinated, but bar this incidentnothing hap pengd to disturb the furnians.
RESISTANCE DETERMINED ON..
December; 30th, 9 pm. The meeting is now over but was a fasen as far as an interchange of views went. The Fili pinos evidently came with minds fully made) up and it would have been dangerous for any one on their side to have aired contrary view.
Rogue Coper, President; Vicente. Franco, Vice President; nad Juan de Leon, Local President, occupied the seets of honour. The principal spraker was Raimundo Melliza and the parport of his speech was that after under- going various privations and troubles they had ousted the Spaniards, and had the place in- vested in them, and were they to give up.com- mand to an alien power such as the Americans? Would they surrender their liberty to any nation without a struggle?
This brought forth a ralley of cheers and it was unanimously agreed they would not allow the Americans to land and take possession.
Aunther speaker followed, even more vele- ment, and it was evident that 'nt that meeting the advocates of a poscilatory policy would have no hearing,
And this is the position we are now in i do not think the Americans will give way and I expect that to-morrow we shall all be ordered out to the ships in the bay. Had the Amer cans turned up a week earlier, all this bother would have-been avoided, as there was then no question of the natives trying to powent them taking possession. Indeed Secretary Carballes informed me they would welcome the Americans --S. P Press Cor
PLANTING IN LOWER PERAK.
Mr. Brewster, the district oficer of Lower Peak, reparts that an area of 11,000 acres has been alienated to at European syndicate for sugar-cane cultivation there. In his opinion, holders of coconut plantations, or intending planters of this palm, need not fear any trouble from the beetle which sugar-cane cultivation is alleged to introduce, as he has proposed a large neutral zone to be left for ordinary settle- It has naturally been suggested that that these ment between these, two classes of agriculture. beetles fly long distances; they may do so, but Mr. Brewster des not see what more he can do, and the sugar people have undertaken to destroy all -rubbish' on their property. “In especially view the End is drained, raised in increase of these beetles banks; and the self pulverized, tends to the

On the 25th inst, we went to Moln to visit the village where the lighting was most severe 9 kere were trupos of the Severe nature of the fighting in the houses that had been burnt in the ground, hot no mages of the dead. It was pitiable to see some of the natives trying to recover some of their household treasures that had been partially hurt. To show How antenable to purjority the natives are I noticed that every church we passed our coachman took of his hat, in reverence, and it shows that the treatment must have been bad that makes so ensity governed a race rebel.
THE FILPINOS ENTER.
MONDAY, 26th, Today we have witnessed the formal taking over of Fe-flo by the Filipinos. We expected them in at te o'clock but it was nearly 11 am, before they arrived in the Plaza. Then a Aanish of trumpets announced their arrival The troopsy about 1030 to 1500 in number, arrived in the town in a very orderly way, and taking them on the whole, they marched in woritinanlike manner. They did not appear to have suffered from want of provisions, and I believe that during the siege there has been no hindrance to their obtaining supplies from Elo- flo. They marched mund the “Plaza" and the leader's went into the Town Hall and hoisted the Filipina dag, amidst cheers from the assembled troops and natives,
On the inarcht past their head general was polite enough to,salete the English dag which was hoisted over the British Consul's here, Everything was done in an orderly manner and went off willant a hitch. The troops were clad mostly în zapadilla, a kind of blue and white striped uniform, but there was considerable | variety. Some were in white drill, others in native dress, and various kinds of clothes. Their
arms wear of various types, and some of the guns which inspected were evidently made in the 15th Century or thereby,
I have just heard the news from an Ameri. can Colonel, who arrived here this morning, that the Americans are sending 2,000 troops with various arts and ammunitions to-morrow. -It is a pity Iney did not arrive earlier, so as to avoid any risk of collision with the Filipinos. Personally I do not think there is much risk, although residens here seem to fear that the 'natives will have swelled heads and cause. trouble.
Carballo, the man 1 interviewed the other day, sumed me that they had no desire to fall out with the Americans, and were quite aware they could not stand alone. In fact he assured me they were not fit for self Government. The fenders were att right bar they were for sure of all their men and as long as the Americans assured them equal rights they would willingly aid thera all in their power,
THE, AMERICANS ARRIVE,'
I-10, December 30th, Since I last winle you on the 26th Insĩ, mat- ters have assumed a lively aspect here. General Miller arrived with a 500 troops on Wednesday morning in the Baltimore and troopships Arizona and Pennsylaania.
As I informed you in my last the Filipinos formally took possession of the town on Mon day last, 26th inst. The Americans were under the idea that the town was still in the hands of the Spaniards, or, if vacated by them, it would be handed over to the Foreign Consuls, so did not anticipate any difficulty in landing their froops. Finding the Filippings in possession has made a vast difference, as they decline to allow the Americans to land and take posses. stor of Iloilo, without positive orders to that effect from General Aguinaldo.
THE ULTIMATUM,
The American Goneral has distinct orders to take posseselon, and gave 48 hours notice to that effect on Wednesday to the Filipinos fead- ers. They on their part say that they have no orders from Aguinaldo to give over possession to him, and unless they receive such they will oppose his landing by all incans in their power And thus we are at a deadlock again and all business suspended,
At the Cecily Cvice Estate, a pulper by Messra, Walker & Co, of Colombo, has been
purchased. The trees are loaded with berries, and a few ram sunny days will ripen a com siderable quantity. A good earth read has the entire estate, and a substantial brick and now been constructed by the proprietors round timber water-gate put in; this was found neces- sary to contend with the tides,

CHINAMEN AS HEROES.
5
The annual excise report for Burma describes an important police-discovery of an illicit dis- tillery in the heart of Rangoon, fitted with all the paraphernalia requisite for the manufacture of fiquor on a large scale. There was an. abundance of materials stored on the premises, which were in the business thoroughfare of the city, and there were on the premises thousands of gallons of finished spirit and of fermented wash in casks at the time when the police-raid was effected. Unfortunately, the raid game off at a wrong moment, when the proprietors. of the place, whoever they were, were not on the spot; and the only arrests which the police managed to make were of three Chinamer who were in charge of the place. The Chinamen were stalinch to their illicit employers, for the repon relates the insion of disclosing their principals, they vicariously suffered imprison- ment. A common conception of the heathen Chinec is that he is of all men least likely to hold out in trouble, but the Rangoon story sets John Chinamus in the heroics of mild crime.
THE POPULATION OF FRANCE.
A gris commcinary upon the anxiety of French statesinen to acquire more colonies is afforded by the birth statistics for last year just published. There were 839,103 births in 1897 or 6,479 less than in the previous year. There is no secret about the cause of this declining birthrate, and no doubt that unless it is checked it means the early extinction of France as a Great Power, if it has not already ceased to be one. The population as whole has not decreased the death rate was unusually low. Taking the total population of France at 38,200,011, there appears to be an increase in thirty-two departments, whilst in the remaining fifty-five the diminution is more notable than before the preceding census. The annual pro. portion of bine in France-is-23-por-1050, against 38 per too in Germany, Austria and Italy, and 33 per toss in England. Owing to this decrease the births in 1897 exceeded the death by re8,c88, while in 1896 the exccas was only 93,700, and in 1895 the deaths exceeded the births by 17,813. Ten per cent of the births in 1897 were illegitimate, being the usual proponjon. The numbers of male and female children were nearly equal. Statistics show that mar riages are still on the increase. The annual Proportion was eight per 1,000 inhabitants since the beginning of the century until 1875, after which it fell to seven., During the last seven years the proportion has gradually improved, Divorces were also on and in 1897 it was 7.6. the incrense, there being 2,460 in 1877, ns against 7,05 in 1896. While Gurmany increases her population by 600,000 yearly, Austria and Italy by almost as many, and Russia by 1,500,000, France remains stationary,
