TO PUNISH THEINSURRECTOS MILITARY COMMANDER HAS IS SUED SOME SEVERE ORDERS TO THE INSURGENTS NEAK MANILA. HE REGARDS THEM AS GUER ILLAS AND OUTSIDE THE PALE OF CIVILIZED WARFARE—THE ORDER. a Washington,Jan 20—Having failed after two years’ strife in subduing the | insurrection in Ilatangas province which lies just south of Manila, and having satisfied himself that lenient treatment of the insurgents is produc tive of no good results, General J. Franklin Bel!, military commander of that province, has determined on the inforcement of war in the most vigor ous and determined fashion, involving reconcentration in a modified form, application of martial law in all di rections, and the unsparing pursuit and punishment of natives who act as spies and traitors to the United States. The reconcentration order is dated Batanas, Dec. 8. It provides for the establishment of a zone around the garrisons into which friendly inhabi tants are to be required to come under penalty of confiscation and destruct ion of their property. This is sajd to be necessary to prevent the collection of forced contributions from the inhab itants by the insurgents. The military officers are allowed fix the price of the necessities of life and promised that the people may re turn as soon as peaceful conditions are established. This order is followed by a long cir cular by General Bell. He directs the application of general order No. 100, in force during the civil war of the United States, which practically re gards the insurgents as guerillas and outside the pale of civilized warfare, and subject to ' the death penalty wherever such insurgent does not en gage continuously in war and observe all the rules of war.

CUMBERLAND IN LEGAL FIGHT, ROBERT CARNEGIE WILL BE MADE PARTY TO SUIT FOR PROPER TY NEAR HERE AND VALUED AT TWO MILLION. PAPERS IN THE ACTION HAVE JUST BEEN PREPARED IN NEW YORK—SUIT WILL BE INTER ESTING ONE. A special from New Yors says: Andrew Carnegie will be made a party to a suit lor property valued at 5f2.000.000 which will bo brought against the wife of his brother by heirs of Robert Stafford, the sea isl and cotton King, says the World. Papers in the action have just been prepared in this city. The suit will be to secure title to Cumberland isl and, off the coast of Georgia, which Mr. Carneie and his sister-in-law have made a beautiful park and mid-sea home. , , , The fact that the Stafford heirs had any claim to the property was discov ered by aoident. In the papers on file in the case it is alleged that Robert Stafford bought the island now in dispute in 1848. He had S3OO at that time and went to the island to raise cotton. In the second year of his work there he was married. His wi Cos was Elizabeth Barnaby, famed as the “White Slave.” She was employed by a Georgia planter and her ancestors were white, but she had been sold into slavery and an action was pending at the time to Sficure her freedom. Robert Salford fell in love with her, purchased her freedom and made her his wife. It is the descend ants of this woman and Robert Staf ford who are now contending for the $2,000,000. Robert Stafford died in New Lon don, Conn., about fifteen years ago. He left four daughters, Mrs. Mary Palmer, wife of Dr. Palmer, of Lon don; Ada, Countess of Zivulki, of Paris; Mrs. Madora Vosburg, of New York, and Mrs. Frederick P. Engles, of Lynbrook, L. 1. The property was sold by an execu tor of the Stafford estate. Attorneys made a rip to St. Mary’s, where the deed was on file. The deed is clearly defective, they say. The Carnegies paid $45,000 for the island. ARRANGING FOR THE FAIR. Jewish Ladies are Now Hard at Work.
