And Received Few Shells from the Mon

MANILA, March 1.-10:10 a. m.-The
rebels at Malabon fired upon the cruiser
Callao from the jungle while Admiral
Dewey was visiting the Monadnock.
Three shells were dropped from the
monitor into the Malabon church,
demolishing the structure and killing a
number of rebels who were inside. A
factory at Malolos is reported to be rum
ming day and night to supply ammuni.
ton for the insurgents. The ignorance
of the natives is shown by the fact that
they are collecting empty Springfield
shells and are refilling them. Over
1000 of these cartridges have been dis
covered in houses in Pandacan by an
officer of the Washington volunteers.
The cruiser Charleston and the gun
boat Concord have gone on a 10 days
cruise, presumably looking for flibus-
tiers. 1t is believed that arms are being
landed in small quantities at northern
ports.

the city.

MANILA, Feb. 2S.-Two Spanish COM
missioners, Seniors Rosalio and Abogado,
who were permitted to pass through our
lines and confer with Aguinaldo, with
reference to the Spanish prisoners at
Malolos, have returned through our
lines near Caloocan, with sealed dis
patches for the Spaniards. The COM
missioners said that Aguinaldo and
Sandiko were both at Malolos and in
clined to pacific overtures. While the
Filipinos are not yet prepared to sur
render the Spanish prisoners, they will
gladly release two Americans who have
been held for six weeks, on the payment
ment of $50, the value of the food and
clothing furnished them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent out
flag of truce borne by Commandante
Sinfaroso. de la Cruz, and several hun
dred of the enemy left the firing line,
crying "No quire," "Ma combate, y
"Americanos Mucho Bueno." The
commandante said that fully 5000 Of

ready to surrender. Among the enemy

Caloocan continue to annoy the soldiers
in the day time, but the Americans no

During the night time the men are so

Matters Are Reported Quiet at
Manila Natives Mostly
Scared.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The war de-
partment has received the following
from General Otis. Condition of af-
fairs quiet; progressing favorably.
Anxiety need not be felt in regard to
the situation. Will send small body OF
troops to Cebu, where navy took quiet
possession"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Admiral
Dewey cabled the navy department that
he had sent the gunboat Petrol from
Manila to Cebu. 1t is the purpose of
the admiral to establish the sovereignty
of the United States at the capital of
the island, which is populous town of
81, 900 inhabitants. 1t is not believed
that any serious difficulty with attend
undertaking, as the instruction never
has obtained any strength in that quar-
ter. War department reports say the
island of Cebu is the most important
province of the Visayas group, its area
being 1900 square miles and its popu-
lation more than half million. Under
the Spanish regime the capital was a
city of considerable commercial and po-
litical importance.
MANILA, Feb. 27.-2:35 p. m.-The
military police have raided several sus-
pected houses in various districts, cap
turing small bodies of 20 to 30 prisoners
in each place. This and the o'clock
ordinance is effectuslly dispelling the
fears of threatened outbreak of the
natives, who do not dare, singly or col
lectively, appear on the streets after
dark. The feeling in the city has de-
cidedly improved, although the Chinese
are still timorous. Hundreds of appli-
cants for cedulas besiege the registers
office, the natives apparently being
under the impression that their posses
sion insures them from interference and
the ignominy of being searched for
arms on the streets.
1t is generally believed that the dis
astrous attempts to attack the city and
destroy property, the Filipinos them
selves being the worst sufferers, will
prevent their recurrence, but every pre-
caution is being taken to deal with an
emergency if it ARISES. The insurance
agents refuse to entertain any claims on
account of Wednesday nights fires.
They intimate that General Otis, hav-
ing guaranteed the safety of life and
property of the inhabitants Of Manila,
is responsible for these claims.
Outside of the city the sharpshooters
about Caloocan are very annoying.
Six men belonging to the brigade COM
manded by General Harrison Gray
Otis have been wounded since midnight.
All is quiet elsewhere.
The German first class cruiser Kais-
erin Augusta has arrived here.
The enemy was moved a mile along
the line of General King and General
Ovenshine's forces from the beach to
Pasig, but few volleys Of musketry ac-
companied by artillery fire retired them.
The foreign consuls held meeting
during the day, but the result Of their
deliberations has not been communi-
Gated, it is understood, to the American
authorities. The British consul was not
present at the conference.

For Soon.
With That Contingency in View,
Medical Supplies, Nurses
and Physicians
Are Now Being Forwarded to the
Islands in Considerable
Numbers.
Hospital Ship Relief, With Cargo
Of Supplies, at General Otis
Disposal

WASHINGTON, March with the ap-
proach Of the rainy season in the Phil
ippines, now possibly a month off, a
material increase in the sickness among
our troops may be looked for. The war
department authorities apprehend no
alarming developments in the condition
of our men as the result Of the incoming
of the rainy season, but have prepare
to meet any possible contingencies. The
city of Manila, itself, is stated to be q
comparatively healthy vicinity, and the
troops remaining there, with reasonable
care, may be expected to get along
fairly well. Outside of the city condi-
tions are not encouraging, and are ia
vorable to nalarial and similar indispo-
sitions. In general way there is likely
to be considerable number Of cases of
ailments originating from climatic
causes, and an unusual number of doc
tors and medicines have been rendez-
voused at "1anila The medical force
now on the island is believed to be suff-
Gent for oralnary purposes and to meet
any demands Of the future reinforce,
ments are now being hurried there. The
hospital ship Relief will sail from New
York direct for Manila, via the Suez
route, in day or two, with $50 picked
men from the hospital corps and about
10 doctors This is in addition to the
regular equipment of the doctors and
nurses of the Relief.
To BE Used as Needed.
The Relief will be placed at the dis
posal of General Otis, either as float
ing hospital or for use in transferring
the sick and convalescent to the general
hospital, now underway at San Fran
cisco. She is loaded with all the medi-
cal supplies that she can carry, though
there has been no official call from the
Philippines for these supplies. The au-
thorities there have full authority to
obtain all the supplies of any character
that are wanted wherever they can be
gotten. Lieutenant Colonel Woodruff,
deputy surgeon general, is now en- route
across the continent going to Manila
for duty as chief surgeon. He is one of
the most efficient medical officers in the
army, and has had the benefit of an
army service throughout the civil war.
He has given special attention to sani-
tation matters, and a thorough sanitary
system is expected to be maintained
where our troops are encanped.

staff and Troop l. of the Seventh United

head of 1900 armed Cuban horsemen
and footmen. The population of the

him with flowers. The general reviewed
the troops at the palace.
General Gomez arrived on the edge Of
the town from Ma1ianao at 1890 p. m,
escorted by the Second Illinois band,
and three battalions. These battalions
then returned to their camp and did not
enter the city. The festivities in COM
memoration of the fourth anniversary
of the beginning of the
Cuban Struggle for Freedom
were universal. Havana had not seen
anything like it and the streets were
packed with a crowd twice as large as
that which turned out on Jan. 1.
AS General Gomez passed the crowd
went wild with vivas, hats were flung
in the air and women showered flowers
of all sorts. The general raised his hat
necessarily as the crowds struggled to
get near his horse and chung to the ami
mails sides as long as possible.
The procession stopped frequently,
eventually filing into the main streets
Of the city, passing Central Park and ar
irving at the palace at 2:30. The Prado
and other avenues were lined with pat

of vantage and then joining the process
