NOTHING TO CAUSE ALARM.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-There is
nothing in the situation at Manila to
cause alarm for the safety of the Amer
lean troops in the opinion of we'll in
formed Administration officials. Since
General Otis cabled Saturday to this
effect there has come no word from him
tending to qualify the statement in any
sense Admiral Dewey has not been
heard from further, according to Sec
rotary Long, and from this absence
of positive news the officials draw the
conclusion that nothing has happened
to warrant apprehension. Respecting
the report of landing Of marines at
Manila, not word of confirmation has
been received at either the War De-
partment or the Navy Department.
A press dispatch received several days
ago mentioned the landing Of a few
British blue Jackets each evening to
wet down the British Consulate, a
measure Of protection from fire during
the intensely dry season in the Philip
pines, and it is probable that this is
for h. -f@ -
general landing.
Some notice is beginning to be taken
here Of the markedly hostile reports
that are being cabled TO Madrid by
General Rios, the ranking Spanish Off
Ger at Manila, and if he persists in this
course he may be called to account by
General Otis who probably does not un-
derstand what the officer is doing. His
reports have been uniformly misstate-
ments of facts or gross iistortiors of
them. with the Plain purpose of giving
false impression of the weakness of
the American position in the Philip
pines, perhaps with a purpose to ius-
tify some Of -tle Powers to recognize
the belligerency of the insurgents The
latter are believed to be suffering from
the lack of war supplies. and such rec
ognition at the hands Of even one of
the nations whose possessions border or
the China Sea would lie OF the greatest
assistance to their cause.

VIRULENT ANTI-AMERICAN DE-
CREE.
HONGKONG, Feb. 27.-The Filipino
Government has issued another virulent
anti-American decree in which the fol-
lowing passages occur:
1.-THE American guns respect neither
honor nor property, but barbarously
massacre women and children.
Manila. has witnessed the most mas
sacres. Confiscating the properties
and savings of the people at the point
of the bayonet and shooting the de-
fenseless, accompanied by odious acts
of abomination, repugnant barbarisn1
and racial hatred worse than the doings
in Carolina Unless you conjure a
holy war for independence, you are only
worthy to be slaves and Parihs. Pro-
claim before the civilized world that
you will fight to the death against
American treachery and brute force.
Even the women should, if necessary.
american professions and promises
are pure hypocrisy. They covet the
spells of this patrimony of our race,
wishing to implant here q more irritat-
ing and barbarous dominion than in
the past
