GEN. SOHWAN VICTORIOUS.
200 FilipinOs Reported Killed
and 400 Wounded.

Outbreak Planned at Manila was sup
pressed---TrOubIe Between VisayRns
and TagaIOs.
The Manila authorities were informed
Saturday from reliable sources that an out
break in the poorer districts of Manila had
been carefully planned for daylight Sun
day 1t failed to take place, probably on
account of the vigorous measures enforced.
Many natives Of the Tond district left
taking their valuables. All the small
shops which the guards are usually forced
to close at $3.50 in the evening, were shut
at sunset. The guards of the city were
doubled and a strong force stationed at the
slaughter house, the centre of an unruly
section. Two guns of the 9th artillery
were stationed nearby at point command
ing the native quarter. The commanders
of the reserve troops we're ordered to be
prepared for a call at daylight. Three
native policemen have been arrested on
charge of plotting an uprising. The fact
that their comrades informed the authori-
ties of their treachery indicates that the
police force is loyal.
General Otis has permitted the medical
department to cable to Washington for 90
additional surgeons and 30 more nurses.
A steamer from Jolo brings news of tine
| finding of nine dead Moros lying on the
beach near Jolo. They belonged to Dato
| JOHANNES followers, and the bodies had
been terribly mutilated. 1t is believed
Jokanine will promptly retaliate ON the
Sultan, ruler of all the Moros, and that it
will cause bitter feud between these two
native leaders.
The following was cabled from Manila

| Schwan's column swung into linus from
Das Marinas yesterday morning. camped
at Bacoor last night, has scattered insur-
| gents, who are probably retiring by de-
tachments on Indangu. Condition of
roads prevented further pursuit; 1876 men,

surgents south and westward from lake
town of Muntinlupa yesterday, pursuing

their stored supplies destroyed. Young

yesterday, scattered insurgents, who re-
tired northwest, his casualties: three slight
| ly wounded considerable store of grain

Mail advices from Iloilo state that there
is great tension between the Visayans and
| Tagalos, growing out of the Tagalos hold
| ing Araneta, leader of the Visayans, a
| prisoner, since the threatened Visayan
revolt against Tagalo domination, month
| ago. The Visayans are incensed to the
point of rebellion. While the Tagalos
nominally control only the military organi-
cation of the so-called Filipino republic,
they have crowded out the Visayans from
the civil branch, whereat there is great
discomfort. The Tagalos are reported to
be concentrating troops on Panay at Santa
Barbara, where Delgado, chief of the revo-
lutionary government, commands, with
view to putting themselves in a position to
suppress the Visayans. Four thousand
| Tagalos, who have been held in reserve at
Capiz, in the northern part of the province
of Pana, last week embarked in cascoes,
the fleets purpose being to land at Con-
ception, whence the troops would march
to Santa Barbara. Adverse winds pre-
vented the landing, however. Gen. Palion's
forces from Buena Vista are also reported
to be going to Santa Barbara.
The insurgents will have $4,000 men
and 5000 or 1000 rifles there. Gen.
Magbanna, according to letters, plans
to attack the suburbs of Ioilo with
this force, carry the city, and slaughter the
Americans.
A body of Tagalos, estimated to number
between 500 and 1000, recently crossed
from Santa Barbara to Escalante, on the
island of Negros, for the purpose of aiding
Intepapaisios bandits, in keeping under
the inhabitants who are friendly to the
Americans.
