imprisoned them until morning and
threatened to kill them unless they main
tanned silence.
Many native clerks, employed by mer-
camille houses, are missing. As 1T Is i'm
possible that they should have passed
the lines, the Inference is that they are
hiding in the city.
Several attempts were made to assas-
sinate Americans on the streets, but that
danger Is now at a minimum. The ma
tives are terribly cowed; and the precau-
tons taken. especially against incendi-
arism, are admirable.
The rebels. who have been swept IN
every direction, died by the hundreds IN
the trenches-for the most part passively
except the vgorotes. who charged desper-
ately and uselessly.
The rebel prisoners declare that their
attack was unpremeditated; that the out-
posts fired and then everybody followed
in accordance with general under
standing.
