TROOPS SUFFER FROM HEAT.
REBELS PREPARING THEIR DEFENCES
AROUND MANILA.
THEIR sHARPsHOoTERs CONTINUE TO
ANNOY-MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED
AT THE wATERwORKS.


Manila, March 3. 3:55 p. m.-The tempera-
ture to-day at 3 o'clock was 81 degrees. but
the cloudy air was like steam. and the troops
were greatly Inconvenience in the line. in
spite Of the temporary shade afforded by mat
ting and bamboos wherever feasible. There
were fewer prostratons. however. from the
heat.
Our troops to-day not compelled TO re-
main in the open country to the same extent
as yesterday when they were engaged in clear
ing the jungle. The rebels seldom appear in
the open. except in the cool OF the morning and
in the evening. Our soldiers will probably feel
the heat less when they are on the move.
The rebels busily preparing their defences
at various points. and most aggressive
near San Pedro Macat where their sharpshoot-
ers maintain a persistent annoyance. Scotts
Battery the hilltop is the centre Of fire from
both sides Of the river
General Hale withdrew his outposts from the
left bank Of the stream and is now occupying
his original position
Further trouble is probable in the vicinity OF
the waterworlts when the rebels rally, but 1t
would be almost an mpossbility for them TO
interfere with the water supply. owing TO the
strength of the American position.
The following lights on the coasts OF Panay
and Guinaras islands have been re-established;
Manigonizo Zigantes. Calabazas Sietepecados,
Iloilo and LuZaran.
The French second-cass cruiser Jean Bart
