Manila, Oct. 16 he auth horities were
informed Saturday from reliable
sources that an outbreak in the poorer
districts Of Manila Had been carefully
planned for daylight on Sunday. It
failed to occur, probably on account Of
the vigorous measures enforced. Many
natives of the Tonds district left, taking
their valuables. All the small shops,
which the guards usually forced to
close at $3.50 p. M, were shut at sun
set. a general feeling of uneasiness
was apparent. The guards of the city
were doubled and strong force sta
toned at the slaughter house, the cen-
ter of an unruly section. Two guns Of
the Sixth artillery were stationed near
by at point commanding the native
quarter. The commanders of the re-
serve troops were ordered to be pre-
pared for call at daylight.
