Manila, March 1.-:55 p. m.-The
rebels are very active at Caloacan and
Malabon. They evidently intend to
mount a battery in front Of the Mala-
bon church, destroyed by the fire of the
United States monitor Monadnock on
February 9th. They can be seen
throwing up earthworks for guns and
epaulements.
There was the usual desultory firing

The Negros commissioners have en-
tertained several American officers and
British subjects at their hotel in re-

smallpox.
The United States transport Arizona
has arrived here. Generally speaking
the situation is unchanged.
1t was unusually quiet along the
whole line last night, only a few shots
being fired from a rebel field gun near
the cemetery. The enemy are appa-
rently busy preparing their defences,
realizing that the Americans will at
tack them when the expected reinforce
ments arrive.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo will only
release the Spanish clerical prisoners
upon condition that all landed and
other property that they own shall be
transferred to the rebels and also that
the native priests shall be recognized.
Last night twelve rebels, in two
canoes, were discovered padding out
from ParanaQue. When the Buffalo 8
searchlight was turned on the rebels
they used a calcium light signal ar
ranged with the picket boats. The
searchlight was taken off and the rebels
attempted to cross the bay, but a pa
troll boat overhauled them after chase
and took them prisoners to Manila.

SUPERINTENDENT DAY OUSTED
Judge Brown Decides the Case IN Favor
OF the Reorganization Board
Especial to the Messenger.)

Especial to the Messenger)
Raleigh, n. c., March Judge
Brown gives the following opinion in
w. H. Days case: THE court having
given the matter as careful considera-
tion as, under the circumstances, was
possible, finds the following conclusions
of law:
That the Office of superintendent of
the penitentiary, created by the act of
1897 has been abolished by the act of
January 26, 1899. That said Office has
not been substantially re-established
in another form, nor have its emolu-
ments, powers and duties been conferr-
ed on others, for the purpose of oust-
ing the defendant Day. That by the
act of January 26, 1899, the general as
sembly has made radical change in
the method of managing and conduc-
ting the penal institutions of the state,
which was clearly in the scope and
power of the legislative department to
do. That such act creates corporation
with all necessary and sufficient pow
ers to carry into effect the propositions
of the act.''
''It is therefore ordered and adjudged
that the plaintiffs are entitled to pos
session and custody and control of the
states prison and the convicts there
in, and all property and accessories
belonging thereto. Let the costs be
taxed against the defendant, Day."
The defendant appeals to the SUI
preme court. Notice is waived.
