Guerrilla Tactics.

Manila, Feb. 21.-The enemy have
apparently realized the hopelessness of
attacking the American position. and
are occupied chiefly by occasional
sharpshooting from the jungle, when
ever feasible. Fortunately, their ig-
norance of the use of sights minimizes
the effect of their guerilla tactics.
The retirement of General Kings
advance posts upon San Pedro MaCati
has evidently been construed by the
rebels as a sign of weakness, as they
pressed forward along both sides of the
river. persistently harrassing the occu.
pants Of the town.
Last night the rebels poured volley
after volley into San Pedro Macati
from the brush on the adjacent ridge;
but fortunately without effect. Gen.
eral Kings headquarters in the center
of the town was the target for scores OF
Remington and Mauser bullets.
The rebls are using smokeless pow.
der, and it is extremely difficult to To-.
cate individual marksmen.

Intense and Increasing.

Manila, Feb. 2l.-The California
volunteers abandoned Guadalonna
church at o'clock this morning, which
has since been set on fire, and retirod
to San Pedro Macati. The rebels still
hold the country in the vicinity Of
Guadaloupe. Pasig and Patero, despite
the efforts of the gunboats to dislodee
them from the jungles on both sides of
the river.
The heat is intense, and is increasing
perceptibly daily. Under present con.
ditions, it is impossible to provide
shade for the stroops in different parts
of the line, particularly McArthur's
division. Kings brigade is also ex.
posed from San Pedro Macati to Gull.

to give them warm reception in the
event of attack.

troops of the Fourth cavalry, stretching
from the beach at Camp Dewey to Gen.

The Buffalo's searchlight discovering
the rebels unusually active about 10
o'clock in the evening. signaled the
flagship for permission to fire upon
them, and, this being granted, bonn.
barded the enemy's trenches for 20
minutes. The only effect of the fire
was apparently to drive the rebels fur.
ther inland.
Beyond few Intellectual volleys from
the trenches, which were returned
with interest. the enemy made no DEM
onstration, and all is quiet along the
rest of the line.

Further Particulars of the Fast Mail

Il
Boone. Aug. Crowds of visitors
went to the scene of the wreck on the
Northwestern yesterday. The kodak
tiend was very much in evidence and
many pictures of the wreck We're Sc
cured. "A brisk shower set in, but this
did not seem to phase the curiousity
seekers. The scene was void of all the
gruesome features which attend the
rescue of the dead and wounded, these
having been all removed on special
trains before the crowd arrived.
The wreckage consisted of many vail
liable articles, but guards We're on duty
to protect these from possible thieves.
The train was on down grade at
the time 1t left the rails, and while
diligent search was made to discover
the cause of the wreck, the officials
found nothing to enlighten them as to
how it occurred. The engine was one
of the huge locomotives recently pur-
chased by the Northwestern for service
on it's fast mail train No. 8, was in
charge of Engineer Masterson, who was
making his first trip on the limited
mail in place of Herm Wills, the regu-

rails 1t shot to the right side of the
roadway, dragging the train composed
of four mail and express cars with 1t,
and plunged into the cellar of house
formerly occupied by a section man
named Patrick Murphy twenty-feet
outside the rignt-of-way. The four

sides the instant the trucks left the

PosToFFIcE BURGLAR1ZED.
Money and stamp. Take-safe Blown


Open.
Iowa city, Aug 2.-Yesterday be-
tween the hours Of ~ and 4, burglars
entered the postoftice at Morse, Iowa,
and succeeded in blowing open the safe
and taking therefrom $50 worth Of
stamps, and some loose change.
They went about their work noise
lessly and in manner that shows con-
clusively that they were old hands at
the business. A hole was drilled in the
safe door near the combination lock.
and the explosives used produced but
little noise. The door was forced open
and the safe badly wrecked by the ex-
plosion which must have followed.
Postmaster George Swift was sleeping
within thirty feet of the safe. only sep
arated from 1t by thin wall, but heard
no noise, and only learned of the rob-
berry when he opened the store this
morning at the usual business hour. A
watch dog was in the building during
the night, and the robbers must have
won Its confidence or used some method
of sitting its barkings. for no noise was
heard from this quarter.
In all about $50 worth of stamps, and
possibly few dollars were taken by
the robbers. the other money in the
store not being found by the burglars.
