New YORK, Sept IA dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The
insurgents changed their plans Thurs
day night, and instead of evacuating
all the suburbs of the city, as Gen
Otis ordered, they moved from Ermita
and Malate to Santana, where they
appear to be concentrating in strong
force.
1t is reported. although it has not
been confirmed, that Aguinaldo has
ordered that this place be held at any
cost. 1t is more likely a move on the
part Of Pho Pillar to embarrass the die
tator. The former rebel chief, lisa
bello Artacho, who was condemned tc
death by Aguinaldo for treachery il
May and reprieved and escaped, is
leading $4,000 men against Aguinaldo
Artacho is backed by priests.
A Jesuit priest was shot for per.
suading rebels to desert Aguinaldo's
cause.
At the meeting of rebel leaders in
Malolos the majority will vote foi
autonomy under American protection.
Coasting steamers are trading with
the provinces under Spanish rule
Aguinaldo demands SO per cent o.
freight receipts of steamers trading
wi tn the rebel provinces.
All Spaniards in the northern prov
inces are now prisoners. The rebels
seized stocks and cash of the tobacco
estates belonging to the Campania
Tabacelera. in Cagayan province, and
also those of COprax in Gamarines
province. The losses are enormous.
The rebel steamer Bulasan has been
sunk by a Spanish gun boat at Mar
bate.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-THE Manila
dispatches stating that Aguinaldo has
assem- bled all of the Filipinos at Ma
Iolos gives no apprehension to war de.
partment officials. as they feel salts
fed that the opportunity for a real
crisis was passed when AguinaldO re-
moved his forces from the suburbs Of
Manila. So long as the American
forces in and about Manila are left
untrameled there is no disposition to
restrict Aguinaldo in holding meet
ings of his followe RS outside of the i'm.
mediate field of American operations.
