Both men avoided each other as much
as possible yesterday, but late in the day
they met in the g1ide's house and after
a few words the shot was fired.
After Smart.fell, Bridge rushed to hts
assistance and while kneeling by the
wounded man Peters threatened to shooa
him. Bridge, however, paid no attention
to him and Peters at length won't to his
room. When the sheriff arrived PeserS

FILIPINOs WANT REPUBLIC.

London, August 29.-The Manila cor
respondent of ahe Times says:
= The situatitn, although undoubtedly
unsatisfactory, remains unchanged,
pending a final settlement Aguinaldo
proposes to remove his headquarters i'm
mediately to u large town of Malolos,
province of Bulaean, situated on the rail
way line, 20 miles north of Manila.
There be will shortly assemble con-
gress chosen from the leading Fjlipjnos
who favor the insurgent cause. He
further intends to send represan tative
to Paris to argue his claims for the
establishment of an insurgent republic.
The movement was probably necessary
partly because Aguinaldo was fast losing
his influence in the province of Cayite,
where the insurgents evidently expected
to be permitted to occupy Manila jointly
with Americans. Considerable dissatis-
faction is apparent among the insurgent
troops and frank expression Of opinion
is freely heard that Aguinaldo is again
selling the cause.
