MANILA, March u, $40 p. m.-The
Filipinos apparently had planned an
attack upon the lines of General Otis
and General Hale this morning, but
their courage seemed to finch, though
they fired signals and kept up the
fusillade along the American front for
an hour. Our troops in obedience to
orders refrained from shooting, with
the exception of two companies of
newly arrived men, who replied that
they had suppressed the regiment Of
Filipinos. This body of rebels seems
under better leadership than most of
the others. A white man was seen
among the officers endeavoring to lead
them to the attack, but apparently all
efforts to induce them to leave the
trenches We're futile.
The American authorities in Manila
say the city is now so effectively
policed that a serious outbreak is i'm
possible They believe that the natives
are cowed.
The presence of the families Of Of
fcers is discouraged, and many are
leaving on board the United States
transports, some going TO Japan for
temporary residence. General Otis has
remarked:
Manila is no place for women. This
IS war, not a picnic"
The British cruiser Narcissus has
sailed for various ports in the island
OF Luzon. having on board British sub
jects who desire protection.
This afternoon the Twentieth and
Twenty second Infantry and seven
companies of the Oregon Volunteers
marched to San Pedro Macati TO join
General Wheaton's new divisional
brigade, which is to consist Of the
Twentieth and Twenty-secOnd In
fantry, eight companies of the Wash
ington Volunteers, seven companies of
the Oregon Volunteers, three troops
of cavalry (mounted) and a battalion
Of light artillery.
Although the rain which fell this
morning has cooled the temperature to
81 degrees, many dropped from the
ranks overcome by the heat. Several
soldiers were sunstruck in the streets
Of Manila this morning. Most of the
men are not yet acclimated.
Brigadier General Charles King has
recovered from his indisposition and
resumed command at San Pedro Ma
cate. The enemy are very active north
of the river, though not doing any fir
ing now.

CHRISTIANITY MAY BE
ENFORCED IN JAPAN
Intelligence That the Toxic Govern
ment Is Considering Plan as
to Religion.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The Jouranl
says: Dispatches from Toxic received in
this city to-day bring the startling intelli-
gence that the Japanese Government is
discussing plan to make Christianity the
religion of the empire. There are 440OO,O00
persons in Japan. Only 100000 of them
profess Christianity. and of these a large
proportion are shaky in their orthodoxy.
from the point of view of the American
missionaries One native out of ev-
cry 220 calls himself a Christian.
The remaining 43,S00O00 are divided
between Buddhism and cheerful ag-
Mysticism, which accords well with the
Oriental temperament. The news from
Toxic foreshadows an attempt to make
$500. 900 people Christians by imperial
proclamation Persons interested in for
eien missions will be anxious to learn
whether the government will adopt the
dogmas of any particular Christian sect,
or whether it will permit people to con-
struct their own state of religion from the
teachings of the Bible.

RECEIVERS REASON AND
HIS LADY LOVE
Strange Return to Health of Lord
Seton After Years Devoid of
Strength and Memory.

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald Copyrighted 1S9s by James Cor
don Bennett
LONDON, March 12.-There have been
few stranger stories than that of Lord
Seton, eldest son of Lady Seton, who
died recently. Before his success
sion he was thrown from his horse
while hunting and it was thought that
he was dead. He was brought back to
life but devoid of strength, memory and
reason For years he has been helpless
and hopeless but now sudden
complete transformation has come. Lord
Seton is rapidly recovering and soon will
be in perfect health. At the time of his
accident Lord Seton was engaged to
LADY Mary Willoughby. the lovely young
daughter of the Earl and Countess of
Aucaster Lady Mary has not married
and society whispers a revival of the en-
gagement.

men think they should be paid travel ex-
penses If they intend settling in these Isl
ands Now all of this is based upon the
idea that the United States will retain
some sort of interest in these islands.
Knowing the value of the pioneers saw,
each of these soldiers, young, vigorous
and used to this climate, by remaining
here, will be of inestimabe value to their
country. The only way to Americanize in
these islands is the example of the Amer
lean pioneers, aged in making a home for
themselves. I take no stock in the cry
that white men cannot work in the trop-
les They can when working for them
selves. There are no healthier people
than the English and Scotch who have
lived here for many years. At all events,
the Government now has the cream OF
American young manhood which is anx-
iOus to try the thing. l know the regu-
lars as a rule don't want to hold these
islands, because they prefer stations in
the States. 1 know the majority of the
volunteers are homesick and so color
their opinions. But I had rather die here
than see the flag come down, and if 1
were twenty years younger I would make
my home on a farm here.

WATER BUFFALOES.
Brought From Manila and on Their
Way to Nebraska.

Line F. Kelly, who served with the
First Nebraska Volunteers at Manila
and whose home is at Lincoln, Neb,
passed through this city for Omaha
yesterday, having charge of two water
buffalo, or caribou, which he had
brought all the way from Manila and
which it is intended to make a feature
of the Philippine village at the Omaha
exposition.
The caribou were much more bulky
than are American cattle, and are
built closer to the ground. They are
mouse colored and seem to be patient
and enduring brutes. In Manila they
are used for farming, carting and Other
heavy work.
Kelly started with four buffalo, but
on the voyage across the Pacific-forty,
eight days-the two cows caught cold
and died of pneumonia. The horns of
the creatures are fiat and ridged, and
are longer than those of ordinary
American cattle. Kelly started East
at IL o'clock last night.

JAMES MORGAN's DEATH.
Grand Jury Will Meet to Inquire
Into It.

1t is understood that the Grand Jury
will hold a session to-day for the pur-
pose of making an inquiry into the
cause of the death of James Morgan,
the escape from the Preston School of
Industry and fixing the responsibility
of the same.
It is understood that a number of
witnesses have been subpoenaed to APP
pear and testify regarding the matter.
Young Morgan, it will be remem-
bered. was shot and killed while at
tempting to escape when pursued by
the reformatory officials, one of whom
fired two shots with a revolver. James
Kelly, who was with the officials, also
fired at the boy with a rifle. The Cor
oner's jury failed to accurately fix the
responsibility, hence the necessity for
action on the part of the Grand Jury.

intervening and all connected with fes-
toons of bunting, laurel and electric
lights. Upon the bases of the main
column heroic figures of soldiers and
sailors will be placed. These decora-
lions will extend on both sides of
Broad street and around the City Hall,
which will be midway in this Court OF
Honor, will be magnifcently draped,
and at night will glow with immense
designs of the G. A. r. badge and
other devices in electric lights. Another
feature, which is now being worked out
by ingenious minds, is the illumina-
ton of independence Square, just
back of the State House, where the
Declaration of Independence was
signed and where the famous Liberty
Bell rests In this square there are
many large and beautiful trees The
desire is to fill each one of them with
yari- colored incandeScent electric
lights. When Illuminated at night the
scene would be grand and would al
most equal the Court of Honor on
Broad street. AS the display would be
historic ground it would certainly prove
an attraction, not only to the thou
sands of visitors. but to the residents
of the city as we'll Another pretty
effect at night will be the illumination
of Chestnut street from Fifth to Broad,

will make the thoroughfare as bright
as day. Altogether the scenes by day,

are destined never to be forgotten.

great controversy as to whether the
accent should be grave or acute. and
at last, being unable to come to any
other agreement, the contending parties
