ONE QUIET SUNDAY.
Neither Lawton Nor MacAr.
thur Moved on Filipinos.
BACOLOR THE NEXT POINT OF ATTACK
The Inhabitants of San Fernando
Not In sympathy With the In
surrectiOn, but Receive the
Americans Gladly.

MANILA, May S.-To clear the Fill.
Spinos out of Bacolor, about five miles
southwest of San Fernando, will be the
next task of the Americans. The rebe
general Mascardo has a force of 5000
men there, we'll armed and possessed OF
plenty of ammunition. His troops have
never met American soldiers, and they
thlnk, according to reports carried to
San Fernando, that they can whip the
whole lot"
Bacolor is well intrenched, and thou
sands of natives are working like beaV-
ers digging trenches and carrying the
dirt in baskets The enemy uses his ri
hemen for fighting only, but compels
the bolomen and Chinese and even the
women to labor necessarily.
Ihe rebels have an outpost about a
mile beyond San Fernando, with a
trench that holds between 200 and 300
men. From that point several volleys
were fired Saturday night upon the
camp of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment.
Neither Major General Macarthur nor
Major General Lawton moved yester-
day, although each reconnoitered the
country in his own vicinity for some
miles from headquarters, developing the
presence of small forces of the enemy.
In the vicinity of Laguna de Bay the
rebels are extremely active, but the
lines of General Ovenshine and Colonel
Whalloy who is commanding General
Kings brigade during the latters ill
ness, have been materially strengthen
ed, and there is no danger in that direc-
ton.
If the inhabitants of the San Fernan-
do region are to be believed, there is lit
tie sympathy with the insurrection in
that quarter. Before evacuating the
city the rebels burned the church and
the public buildings and looted the Chi
nese quarter. They drove many rich
Filipinos, with their families, out of the
city before them, as well as hundreds
of Chinese to prevent them helping the
Americans. They cut the threats of
some. Many Chinese hid on roof tops or
in cellars, and some escaped by cutting
off their cues. There are 80 fresh graves
in the churchyard
The army is really enjoying life at
San Fernando, which is the most pic
turesque and wealthy town the Ameri-
cans have entered since the occupation
of Manila. 1t is largely built of stone,
the river is close at hand and high hills
almost surround it. Many sugar facto-
Ties indicate thriving industry in that
respect, and there are numerous fine
residences. General MacArthur's per-
manent headquarters are established in
the best house in town, which is richly
decorated with frescoes and carved |
woods.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, April 26.-The net changes
in prices were generally trifing today
with advances, however, outnumbering
declines. London bought about $4,000
shares, and there was rather a cheerful
tone to the early trading. Six months
money was offered at S1z on railroad
stocks, and at on mixed collateral
and sterling exchange was steady at
unchanged quotations. The crop adj
vices noted some Improvements and
the grangers were strong for a time,
but on realiztngteft off with irregular
changes.
Many of the specialties after early
strength became weak, and among
those which receded below yesterdays
prices were Glucose, Sugar, Contin-
entail Tobacco, National Steel, Amer
lean Smelling and International Silver.
Denver and Rio Grande and Mexican
Central were helped by the rise in sill
yer. Pennsylvania rose 2 points net
on gossip of an Impending stock priv
ilege, the character of which was not
divulged and New York Central SYM
pathetically gained nearly a point.
Union Pacific and Norfolk and West
ern were also strong spots among the
railway shares. Anaconda Mining held
more than half of a sixpoint rise on
renewed talk of the rumored copper
deal. Brooklyn Transit rose over 3
points on manipulation with accompa-
nying rumors. Advices that the certi-
ficates of the Manhattan Oil Company,
the property of the Peoples Gas, would
be distributed to the stockholders OF
the latter concern, lifted Peoples Gas
a handsome fraction.
The coalers became very weak in the
final trading, Lackawanna dropping
S1z on the rumors of impending labor
difficulties, which the officials of the
Lackawanna pronounced exaggerated
The break in the coalers induced liz
uidation elsewhere, and the market
closed weak and active. Coincident
with the easier tension to the monet
airy situation, dealings in bonds became
larger and there is a more urgent de-
mand for good issues. Total value

PROFITABLE STOCKS.

The best showing in what may be
called purely New England stocks has
been made, during the fiscal year, by
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford
Worth 222, it paid an 8 per. cent divi-
dend which was earned in the first six
months of the year, thus yielding 3.6 per
cent on the investment and guarantee
ing additional rights for stockholders
making the dividends about equal to
10 per cent.
The Boston and Lowell, at 233, paid
8 per cent, yield of 3.44 per cent.
The Old Colony, Boston and Provi-
dence, and the Boston and Maine are
quoted respectively, at 20, 300 and 1870.
They paid, respectively, T. 10 and per

Contrary to general expectations the
Boston and Albany makes a less favor

it paid only 5 per cent and yielded S.15.

General Gossip on the
$4Oo,ooo,ooO Com
bire.

The interest in the Boston copper
stocks was continued yesterday, and
another broad and buoyant market dis
tinguished them. There was a lot of
gossip around about the combine" or
copper trust. Considerable figuring is
done to show the impracticability of the
combines paying on the s4OOOOO,OOO cap
ital anything like a substantial return,
and the old arguments of French Syn
dictate" days do duty again to prove
that the trust cannot hold control.
Meanwhile the market holds we'll;
there may be heavy profit-taking, but
there is great support also and little
impression is made on prices by the
selling. Anaconda ran up 55s more in
New York, although London appears to
be selling. In Boston, Old Dominion
