the Concord dropping many shells into
the town with telling effect. In order
to avoid accidents from this source,
General Otis was compelled to recall the
Kansas battalion, after burning the
outskirts of the town. Either the shells

able to realize that orders have not al

Indeed, headquarters is besieged by
women anxious to plead for the lives
of their relatives and friends.
All is quiet at Cavite. Owing to the
lack of supplies in the adjacent village
of San Rogue, Commissary MiIliken
has been authorized to sell necessaries
to those able to pay for them, and there
will be distribution of free rations to
others. The rebels, it appears, had
