TIE MANILA RESURRECTION.
Full Details Of the Rising In Manila and at
Cavite Against the Spaniards.
MADRID, April 20, 1872.

1t seems to have been more serious than at
first imagined as 1t has been found to have been
part OF plan to shake Off Spanish rule In that dis
tant colony Very curious is 1t that this desire for
independence should exist in all the colonies OF
Spain, without exception, both In the East and
West Indies. The great outbreak In Cuba has made
Itself felt by It's extension and its three years OF ex
stence, but of the Philippine Islands little has been
been heard, except the fattering reports of their
Governors, till now when we learn that vast con-
spiracy had for long time been gathering strength
whose object was to rescue the islands from the
power Of Spain. Any reflective nation would
take steps to investigate the inner causes Of
this animosity-for that 1t has inner causes
there be no doubt-but 1t is sadly to be feared
that Spain, with that fatality which seems to have
attended all her colonial rule, and which has lost
her the richest empire beyond the seas that any
European nation ever possessed, win content her
self with putting down the resurrection by the
strong arm Of force, and leave the fostering wound
OF dissatisfaction u6probed and uncured. Without
more preamble let me proceed to give you the
report the government have just received from
Captain General Izquierdo, which is published In
to-day's Gazette. will premise by remarking that
the arsenal OF Cavite Is seven miles below Manila,
and is q strong place. Repairs to the vessels the
Spaniards keep in the Archipelago are effected
there. 1t has good dry dock and every appliance
necessary. Also that In Manila and all the rest
Of the Spanish islands In the East the troops and

PREPARING FOR THE WORST.
Notwithstanding the little value such anonymous
documents have In themselves, the fact that they
agreed In some points with other rumors which
had been promulgated gave some Importance to
their contents. ! therefore gave immediate adj
vice to His Excelency Captain General Izquierdo,
and then went at once to Cavite to take prudent
measures In the arsenal, managing to avoid alarms
but not showing blind confidence in which we
might have been surprised. These precautions
were all the more necessary all the effective
squadron were away, and were without proper re-
sources In the arsenal to defend 1t. In IL we had
the war schooner Santo Filomena hceled over ON
the blocks, the AnimOsa under repairs I'm boilers
and machinery, and neither able to move, the gun
boats Samor and Bulusan completely ready. The
latter availed me to go between Cavite and Manila
or points of service. Besides these we had In the
Manila River a boat belonging to the quar-
antinc. In the arsenal i ordered all the
guards to be reinforced and to have Euro
peans at their head. In the barracks OF the
infantry OF marine the greatest vigilance was also
employed. captain and two subalterns slept
therein, with instructions what to do in case of
alarm, which was to rush In good order to the de-
fence. The service of night watchmen was con-
Quoted with all military rgor. l ordered all the
military employees TO sleep within the arsenal in
Guiding those OF the vessels under repair. The
side arms in the vessels and those the workshops
were got out and distributed around We made the
gunboat Samor ready to move at the first order
and we managed to launch the Sant0 Filomena not
wlthstanding the low tide. Finally put into prison
