SITUATION AT MANILA.
Unusually Quiet Along the Whole Line
 Last Night

Manila, March 2, 10:30 a. mt was unusually quiet along the whole line last night, only a few shots being fired from a rebel gun. The enemy are ap- parently busy preparing their defences, realizing that the Americans will at tack them when the expected reinforce ments arrive.
 10:3O a. mt is reported that Aguin- aldo will only release the Spanish cler- ical prisoners upon condition that all landed and other property that they own shall be transferred to the rebels, and also that the native priests shall be recognized. Last night twelve rebels in two canoes were discovered padding out from quarantine When the Buff falo's searchlight was turned on the rebels they used a calcium light signal arranged with the picket boats. The searchlight was taken off and the reb- els attempted to cross the bay, but a patrol boat overnauled them after a chase and took them prisoners to Ma nila. Two battalions of the 20th infan- try have been assigned for provost guard duty and a third battlaion will join General MacAtrthur's division.

SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
Queen Regent Has Begun Consultation
 With Leading Statesmen.

Madrid, March 1.-The queen regent has begun consultations with the prin- cipal statesmen and party leaders re- specting the cabinet crisis. Tomorrow she will see Marshal de Campos and Lieutenant General Azcaraga.
 Senor Sagasta handed the resignation of the ministry to the queen regent early today. The cabinet crisis is ex- pected to last for several days as it will be necessary for the queen regent to consult with the presidents of the chambers and other political leaders. In the meanwhile the chamber will ad- journ until new ministry is formed. The ministerialists hope the queen re- gent will support Senor Sagasta and dissolve the chambers.
 Lieutenant General Correa, minister for war denies that the United States government has protested respecting the conduct of General Rios, the Span ish commander in the Philippines, or that the government has received alarming news from Manila, although he admits an important dispatch has been received.

Returned by Grand Jury for Murder in the First Degree.

New York, March 1.-Roland B. Moli-
 neux was to-day indicted by the grand
 jury for murder in the first degree in
 causing the death of Mrs. Kate Adams.
 Nothing was said in the indictment re-
 garding the death of H. c. Barnet, the
 responsibility for whose death has also
 been attributed to Molineux by the dis
 trict attorney. The next deelopment in
 the case is likely to be the trial. The
 indictment found to-day was secured despite the strenuous efforts of counsel for Molineux. They made many at tempts to have hearing of the case be- fore Coroner Hart, the committing mag istrate, but were defeated at the in stance of the district attorneys office. Had the hearing before the coroner been held prior to indictment the state would have been forced to disclose much of It's evidence and to allow the defense to introduce evidence in rebut- tai. The finding of the indictment does away with hearing before the coroner, and there will be small chance for Mol ineux's counsel to take any steps in his behalf until the case actually comes to trial. The district attorney is said to have in his possession evidence that was not presented at the inquest, but this is only hearsay. The defense also has strong evidence in rebuttal and con- fdently asserts that no conviction can be secured
 -The indictment contained four counts first that Roland B. Molineux sent poison through the malls to kill, and which did kill Mrs. Catherine J. Adams; second, that Molineux sent through the mails a poison for the purpose of kill ing some unknown person; third that Molineux sent through the mails cya- hide of mercury with intent to kill; fourth, that Molineux sent an unknown poison to kill some unknown person. The witnesses upon whose evidence the grand jury based the indictment were the coroner's physician, Albert B. Wes- ton, to prove death; Professor s. A. Witthaus, to prove the cause of death; H. s. Cornish, to prove receipt of the poison package and the motive for send ing it; Nicholas Hickman, to identify Molineux as the renter of the letter box on Forty-second street. and William J. Kinsley, Colonel Hay, Persifor Savor and Henry l.. Holman, to prove that Molineux's hand addressed the poison package to H. S. Cornish The indict- ment was filed with Recorder Golf, in Part I. of the general sessions. When the grand jury reported that there was no sensation and no scene Foreman O'Brien handed the clerk number of bills. District Attorney Gardiner and Assistants Unger and Osborne were in court. District Attorney Gardiner had a long talk with Recorder Golf. The case of Molineux was placed on the cal- endar for pleading and he will be ar raigned before Recorder Golf to-mor- row. He will then probably be remand ed to the Tombs without bail.

STREET R4 ILWAY MANA GERS. Meeting of State Association Held Here
 Yesterday.

l A meeting of managers of street rail- ways in Connecticut was held yesterday in the office of the directors of the Fair Haven and Westville road. H. s. Par melee of this city, president of the Con- necticut Street Railway association, was in the chair and B. w. Porter of the Derby Street Railway company was secretary. The meeting was called to discuss the matter of summer amuse- ments at the various parks about the state which are reached by electric rail- ways. It was the opinion of the gentle men present at the meeting that it would be for the interests of travelling minstrel and vaudeville companies and other summer amusement companies as well as for the railway companies for such companies to travel in circuits, thereby saving travelling expenses for big jumps between far distant places and saving the railroad companies the bother of looking up new attraction each week. Steps will be taken to bring about such an arrangement.
 Those present at the meeting were Superintendent Holwel of the Winsted and Torrington road, General Manager Mansfield of the Norwalk Tramway company, Superintendent Bristol of the Meriden Street Railway company, Su- perintendent Goss of the Middletown Street Railway company, Superintend- ent Mather of the New Britain Street Railway company, Superintendent Adams of the Norwich company, and Manager Sewell of the Waterbury com pany.

Naval Appropriation Bill Passed Armor-PInte Question Settled.

Washington, March 1.-The senate is rapidly clearing it's decks for final ad- journment. The naval appropriation bill, which consumed the time of the senate for several days, was passed this afternoon after less than five hours of debate, In that time, however, it was amended radically in one respect The price to be paid by the government for armor plate was fixed in the bill at $500 a ton, a reduction of the amount fixed by the house of $l45 ton. In addi- tion the secretary of the navy was au- thoriZed in the event of a refusal of the armor plate companies to supply armor at $500 a ton to proceed to the construction of an armor factory to cost $1,500,000, and placing in the secre- tary's control $2,0O0,00O with which to operate the government plant The fight for these amendments was led by Mr. Ti1lman of South Carolina /who made characteristicaly sensational speech in support of the propositions. The senate adopted resolutions of regret at the death of Lord Herschell. and concluded the days session by pro- nouncing eulogies upon the late Rep- resentative Dingley of Maine.

TRAMP STRUCK BY 4 TR1TN.
Frank Smith Killed Under Ferry Street
 Bridge Lust Night.

A man evidently tramp, and whose name is thought to have been Amasa Davis, was killed shortly after eleven o'clock last night on the east bound track of the Shore Line railroad under the Ferry street bridge. About eleven o'clock some railroad men who work in the Cedar Hill yards saw a gang of tramps hanging about the bridge, and about fifteen minutes later one of the tramps ran up to the railroad men and told them that a man had been killed by the cars under the bridge. The tramps then disappeared and the rail- road men found the mangled remains of man lying in the place indicated by their informant. Medical Examiner White was notified and after visiting the scene and viewing the remains he ordered them removed to Beecher & Bennett's undertaking rooms. On the person of the dead man was found a letter addressed to Frank Smith, Doylestown, Pa, and signed by Amasa Davis, Howard, R. l., evidently a broth- er-in-law of Frank Smith, The letter was written from the state almshouse in Howard. The body was badly cut up. both legs and one arm being cut off. The man had undoubtedly been struck by train, but what one IL was lmpos- sible to say, as two or three passed the point where he was struck only a few minutes before the remains were found.

KIpLING CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
Crisis Has Passed-Danser Now Lies Ina Relapse.

New York, March 1.-The condition
 of Rudyard Kipling is very much 1m- proved tonight. The crisis in the dis 1 ease was passed this morning. This was the ninth day of MT. Kipling's ill., ness. In pneumonia the crisis is usu- ally reached by the seventh or ninth
 days. but it may be delayed until the fourteenth. There were therefore for weight hours during which the phy- sicians hardly left their patients side.
 During that time Kipling suffered
 greatly during his conscious moments,
 but he was subsequently, unconscious
 or suffered from delerium. It required
 an iron constitution to bear up against
 the intensity of the disease, for MT.
 Kipling's disease is double lobar
 pneumonia, a pneumonia of both lungs
 instead of the ordinary pneumonia
 which is an Inflammation and consoli-
 dation of one of the lobes of a single lung, the former being dangerous in the highest degree. The most advanced
 scientific methods have been adopted for the treatment and for several days oxygen was forced into the lungs to tide over the times that Kipling was unable to breathe in sufficient air to sustain life.
 The oxygen method was abandoned yesterday, a hopeful sign. The patient began to breathe more freely early this morning and after few hours dropped into a refreshing sleep, the first in days, and the one thing essential to re- store his fast waning strength. Later the temperature dropped rapidly to 99 which Is about normal. That the crisis had passed was quickly known through out the hotel, and it was plainly appar- ent in the aspect of physicians, nurses, relatives and others about the hotel. Throughout the day the callers at the hotel were very numerous, and the un- official reports all gave indicat ton of continued improvement. Mrs. Kipling, who has been an anxious watcher at her husbands bedside, showed new hope this afternoon. Accompanied by her maid, she left the hotel and remain ed out for an hours walk MT. Kplng is by no means out of danger. Should the present improvement continue, and no relapse occur, he should be out of danger in a very few days.
 Drs. Janeway and Durham spent con- siderable time away from the patients apartments tonight The former on leaving the hotel at 7:90 gave instruc- tions to warn him of any change. He said he would not stay until morning unless some change made it necessary At 10 o'clock MT. Doubleday said: MT. Kipling Is resting easily. He has his restored and has put his shoulder to the wheel And it's a good shoulder. We shall ins'st on Mrs, Kip ling taking good long rest. She needs it for her vigilance has been faithful" The following bulletin was posted at 11:15 D. m.: MT. Kipling has continued to improve" At late hour MT. Kip ling was resting easily and with every chance of a restful night.

Major Lee Prescnt-Tnking Notes for
 General Miles.

Washington, March 1.-The court of inquiry into the beef charges held a long session to-day, examining officers and enlisted men and representatives of western meat firms. The meat packers representatives gave the same testimo- ny they had previously presented to the war investigation commission, but it is understood that this is only to get their general statement on the court record, and that their examination will be fol- lowed by much more detailed hearing into specific incidents connected with meat furnished in Cuba and Porto Rico during the war. Major Jesse Lee, who has attended the court for some days, it being generally understood that he was present in behalf of General Miles, ap- peared again to-day, taking notes. He was allowed to question the men of his own regiment, but his questions to oth- CT witnesses were taken under advise ment by the court.

DObbs Defeats s1TacDOnaId.

London, March In a twenty-round contest al Gateshead this evening Bobby Dobbs, the Minneapolis colored boxer, defeated Pat Macdonald in the second round The two men had met previous ly at Glasgow on February P, but the police interfered and arrested both com- batants. Dobbs was the favorite. In the first round the fighting was very hot but in the second the Minneapolis boxer soon asserted his superiority and proved himself far too clever for his opponent. MacDonald who was badly punished was knocked out just before the conclusion of the second round
