CREATED QUITE A SENSATION.
The Postponement of the Trial of the
Quays Denounced as AN Outrage
Divergent Views.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The post
ponement of the trial of Senator QUAY
created a sensation among the legis-
lators and politicians at Harrisburg,
Capt. James Clark, who is in charge at
the Quay headquarters, says it is an
outrage. He claims Senator Quay was
ready and anxious to go ahead with
the trial, and that his friends had ev-
cry assurance that he would be ac-
quilted.
SenatoBMeredith,a a strcng Quay man,
says the postponement means the elec-
ton of Senator Quay this week SEN
ator McCarrell, another Quayite, is GER
tain his jury bill will become a law be-
fore the time fixed for the trial.
Capt. VIM. Hassen, one of the house
democratic leaders, is confident Dis
trict Attorney Rotherland had good
reason to ask that the case go over,
and says the postponement will have
no effect on the senatorial deadlock,
except to prolong it until after tbs.
trial. This seems to oe the general
opinion of the leaders of the faction
opposed to Senator Quay.
+. A. Van Valkenberg, the leader Of
the anti-Quay forces, says the post
ponement was great surprise.

ASKED FOR RE1NFoRcEMENTs.
But the Anticipated Attack was not Made
Believed that the Rebel Leaders
are Getting Desperate.

Manila, Feb. 27.-Saturday night the
rebels concentrated in such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that Gen.
Macarthur anticipated an attack, and
asked for reinforcements. Two COM
panies of the Twenty-third regulars
were sent to Caloocan, and battalion
of the Twentieth regulars TO the ceme-
terry at about midnight.
But the expected attack was not
made, the rebels, after making a great
noise with bugle calls and yells of
"Viya Independcia," and ''Mucho malo
Americana" and firing volleys, disap-
peared in the woods.
Tt is believed their leaders are get
ting desperate, and are attempting to
force the United States troops to make
an attack, in the hope of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are unwilling to be pacified
when facing the Americans. It is just
possible, however, that they may be
goaded into such a move before more
reinforcements arrive.

situation at Manila Very Serious.

Madrid, Feb. 27.-An official dispatch
from Manila says: The situation here
is very serious. The foreign war ships
are disembarking troops. Gen. Rios
will leave Manila, and go to Zamboan-
ga, Island of Mindanao.
The government has received long
dispatch from Gen. Rios, at Manila, but
refuses to impart its contents.
Ell Impartial, which asserts that it
is in a position to know the truth of
the situation at Manila, says there is
constant fighting between the Ameri-
cans and the Tagalos. The courage
and stubbornness of the latter have
caused great anxiety to the Americans.
who do not conceal their belief that
the war will be a long and desperate
one. There is the greatest alarm
among foreigners in Manila, and the
commanders of the foreign war ships
have decided to land forces to protect
their subjects

ISLAND OF cEBU OCCUPIED.
Capt. Cornweii Declared His Iatensions
and tine Rebels Withdrew to the
Mountains.

Manila, Feb. 27.-According to the
advices brought by the steamer Nues-
ira Sonora del Carmen, whose arrival
brought the news that the American
flag had been raised over the island OF
Cebu, the United States gunboat Petrol,
Commander G. Cornwell, visited Cebu
on February %. Commander Cornwe1
sent an ultimatum ashore, declaring
the intention of the Americans to take
possession, peaceably if possible, by
force if necessary. The rebels imme-
diatedly vacated, taking their guns to
the hills. A party of marines and blue
jackets was landed, and the American
flag was raised by them over the gov
ernment building, which they still oc-
eupied when the Neustra Sonora del
Carmen left.
A battalion of the Third regulars
left for Cebu yesterday by the United
States transport Pennsylvania. The
same steamer brought dispatches
from Brig.-Gen. Miller, at Iloilo, to
Maj.-Gen. Otis, reporting that all was
quiet there; that there had been no
further fighting; that confidence had
generally resumed.
Gen. Miller thinks it probable that
the natives will soon become convinced
of the error of opposing the inevitable,
and that the example set by the inhab-
itants of Negros is having its effect
among the other islands which, though
not entirely convinced, are, in Gen.
Miller's opinion, open to reason.
All is quiet inside and outside of
Manila, except near Caloocan, where
the enemy's sharpshooters continue to
annoy our troops at a comparatively
close range. One man of the Twentieth
Kansas volunteers was killed in Ari-
quina village, which was burned Sat
urday night, and four were wounded
in the skirmish, one of the Idaho, one
of the Minnesota and two of the
Pennsylvania volunteer regiments.
