2ND AMERICAN SLAIN IN PHILIPPINES

Communist rebels killed an American rancher on the central Philippine island of Masbate after he refused to pay "revolutionary taxes," Filipino and U.S. officials said today.

The victim, Stewart Frank Raab, 76, was the second American killed by Filipino rebels in a month. On Feb. 21, geologist John Robert Mitchell, 42, of Fairbanks, Alaska, his Filipino wife and father-in-law were killed in an ambush on the central island Bohol.
