WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Enemy Most Active Along Gems. Kings
and OVenshine's Lines-Few VOIIeys
of Musketery Quiet Them.

MANILA, Feb. 25.-The enemy were
most active along Gen. Kings and Gen.
Ovenshine's line from the beach to Pa
sig; but few volleys of musketry, sup
plemented by shells from the Buffalo
effectually quieted them.
The foreign cOnsuls met Friday to
confer regarding commercial interests,
but the result of their deliberations
have not been communicated, it is un-
derStOOd, to the American authorities.
The British consul was not present at
the conference.
Despite the threats of the Filipinos
to burn the business center the inhab-
itants, of Manila were not disturbed
Friday night. There was not a single
incident worth recording from the time
when the streets were cleared until
day dawned Saturday morning.
Everything was equally quiet along
the line outside, except for occasional
volleys from punches of the enemy at
various points.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Gen. Otis tel
egraphed the war department Friday
as follows:
Manila, Feb. 24-Scandia arrived
last night. On nights 21St and 22d and
yesterday morning insurgent troops
gained access to outskirts of city be-
hind our lines. Many in hiding and
about 1000 intrenchcd themselves.
Completely routed yesterday with loss
of killed and wounded about 500 and
200 prisoners. Our loss very slight.
City quiet, confidence restored; busi-
ness progressing. OTIS"
The Scandia carried the Goth regulars
as reinforcements for Gen. Otis.
MANILA, Feb. 60 Few American
women remained in Manila Thursday
night. Wives of army officers and
others of our countrywomen were
taken aboard the transport st. Paul
Thursday, where they will remain un-
til order is thoroughly established and
the swarms of insurgents on the out
skirts of the city have been driven
back.
MADRID, Feb. 25.-It is officially an
nounced here that Manila is being con-
stantly attacked by the Filipinos and
that the Americans are suffering heavy
losses.

ACTION ON THE CENSUS BILL.
The COnferees on the Measure Have Agreed
and They Will Make Their Report
Early This Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The con er-
ees on the census bill have agreed and
will make their report early in the
week. Certain features of both the
senate and house bills will be retained.
The census will be nominally under the
direction of the secretary of the in
terror, but all appointments in the cen
sus bureau will be made by the director
Of the census. The director, assist
ant director and 800 supervisors
are to be appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate. The di-
rector receives a salary of $4,000 and
the assistant director 81, O0O The only
important point of difference was in
regard to whether the census should
be made a bureau of a department or
separate, the house bill providing for
an Independent bureau.

MAY BE TWO VICE ADMIRALS.
Adm. Schley's Friends Will Not Press the
Fight Over the Question of Adm.
Simpsons Advancement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The under
standing among Adm. Schley's friends
now is that they will not further press
the fight over the question of Adm.
SIMPSONS advancement over Adm.
Schley. They will, therefore, agree
to let the nominations be confirmed
without much, if any, more debate, de-
pending on future legislation to place
Adm. Schley before the country in the
positi on which they think he should
occupy. They propose to ask that pro-
vision be made for the appointment
of two vice admirals, with the under
standing that Messrs Schley and Samp-
son shall be nominated to the two
places thus created. Adm. Schley told
his senatorial friends that he was will
ing to trust his fortunes to their care.
