THE SITUATION All MANILA,
The Killing Of Human Beings
Daily Occurrence.
Cas- Hundrsd Thousand Iusurgent-
Under Arrns-Reinforcem
from spain.

NEW YORK, Dec. l6.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says: Tho
provinces OF Bulacan, CRvite and La
Guna ore still rebel stropgholds. The
Spanish garrison under Gen. Aguirre
holds the town and fortress OF Old
Cavite, though surrounded by rebels
except on tue coast, which the Span
isn ti1t,ila dominates. The situation
NJ Manila 10 very strange. The citi.
zens arc living in a state OF siege, but
admirable order is preserved. Execu.
tiUns are OF such common occurrence
as to cause not tbs least excitement.
The suburbs OF the city for four miles
away are subject to intermittent raids
by the rebels, who after exchanging
shots with the Spanish pickets, retire
toward Cavite, 8 miles away.
The effects OF the commandments are
visiDle on the outlying r0ads, which
contais the luxurious residenses OF
wealthy SpsniDrds aud Mestisos which
are now al deserted anu the streets OF
the city are guarded by troops.
There 10 no panic and confidence Is
growing. Military bands play on
afternoone, society takes iis drives as
usunl aHd cafes are thronged, mostly
by officers.
Tne chief danger the Spanish dre,d
is tho spread OF disaff cotton among tn Q
natives forming the third army OF
$500 men, all OF Spanish descent. The
latter are trescherous and aisIoyal ex-
cepting in lew regiments but they
ars excellent fighting material in que.
filla operations. They are hardy and
brave aud would be active ana iormiG.
able for freeh European troops. The
Spanish policy Is TO await reinforce.
ments before overwhelming the rebels.
Aggressive movements on a large
scale are not yet possible. Gensral
Blanco In an interview states that
%, 900 more troops are coming, which

tue reoellion which is supported by at
least 100000 active insurgents. o.
these one quarter are armed and use
to solid earth works, while many have
only barbar0us weapons.
The leaders OF the Tebels are nearly
all Chinese and Mesii5Os. The latter
display undou bted sKi!I, wniio the
natives fight well though the Spanish
troops make gallant attempts to dis.
lodge them. Gep. BIsnoo leaves at
the end OF this month to the regret OF
the people and natives. He was
trusI ed by the Spaniards and admired
by foreigners. who respected HE honest
record. The churcn regards the
change as q gaiD. His successor,
