Manila, March 24.-While apparent
ly inactive since Sunday, really the op-
posite has been the case With the
American forces. A reorganization en-
failing many changes has been in
progress since the abandonment of
the flying column. Gen. Wheaton and
Gen. Halls brigades have not been
assigned, but the Oregon regiment
the Minnesota regiment and the
Twenty-second regiment have been
concentrated at the camp on the LII
meta, at the water front, in readiness
for immediate transportation when
the plans of the military leaders have
been formulated. All our troops are
intrenched and the situation is prac-
tically unchanged. The enemy has
refrained from making any attacks re-
Gently, and it would appear that the
rebels are saving their ammunition for
a decisive movement. According to a
prisoner captured by our troops,
Aguiraldo has announced that he will
personally conduct the reserves at
Malolos and march into Manila With
in twenty days unless the Americans
withdraw in the meantime The con-
centration of rebel forces in the vi
entity of Malabon gives color to the
above statement. Advices received
from Cebu say everything is quiet
there.

Americans Warned Not to Land ON
the Island of Mfndanao.
lloilo, March "a. The coasting
steamer Romulus has arrived here
from Zamboanga, on the island of
Mindanao, with upward of a hundred
passengers, including Spanish pris-
oners with their wives and families,
who are returning to Spain. They re-
port that 1000 Spanish troops collect
ed from the Southern islands are at
Zamboanga awaiting a transport now
long overdue. When the Romulus
sailed on Monday no Americans had
landed from the cruiser Boston. Pro-
visions are purchased from the Moros,
who freely enter the town. armed with
Knives and spears. The Spanish COM
mandant, Mentero, advised the Amer
leans not to land, except in small num-
bers, because the natives threaten
conflict and intend to take possession
Of the town. Their attitude is de-
termined. The Romulus brings Span
iards and natives returning to Cebu,
whence they fled upon the abandon
ment of the Spanish garrison. A pas
senger stated that the Boston was
grounded for two days at Zamboanga.

PHILIPPINE POLICY.

VIII Not he Decided Upon TIL the
Schurmnn Commission Reports.
Thomasville, Ca, March 20. = The
administration will not decide upon
its permanent policy respecting the
Philippines until the Schurman COM
mission reports. 1t feels that it's
present knowledge of the islands is too
indefinite as basis for fixed palicy.
Moreover, an immediate decision is
felt to be needless, since, for the pres
ent, the only problem is the restora-
ton Of law and order and the estab-
lishment Of stable peaceful conditions.
This and the appointment of diplo-
matte representative at Madrid are
two of the most important matters re-
naming open. The Madrid mission
will probably be raised to an embassy
soon after payment Of the twenty mil
lion indemnity and a man of the high
est qualifications and attachments
chosen for this delicate and impor-
tant post. Gen. Woodford may not be
the new envoy owing to the fact that
New York already has such an undue
proportion of the highest diplomatic
appointments.

TO FIX UP THE IOWA.
Big Bnttlcship Will Then Go to NJ
niln

Mia.
Washington, March 26.-rhe reports
that have been received at the navy
yard from San Francisco relative to
the battleship Iowa are to the effect
that the ship is really in excellent con-
dition, and that the long run from
New York was made by her without
any accident. Eng:neer-in-Chief Mel
Vile said yesterday that all that the
ship needed in the machinery depart
ment after this extended voyage was
a new set Of tubes for tile boilers, and
these tubes are required to be re-
placed periodically in every ship in
active service. The cracked cylinder
which was supposed to have been so
serious an accident turns out. accord
ing to the department advices to have
been nothing more than what is known
as shrinkage crack in the cylinder
casing. Engineer officers report that
a new cylinder is unnecessary; that
the one in place having been rein
forced, is actually better than a new
and untried cylinder. So that when
the tubes are in place, a work now
going on at the Union iron works, the
machinery Of the Iowa will be in per-
feet ORDER and as soon as she has her
bilge keels in place she will strike
across the Pacific for Manila. The
start will probably be made about the
first week in June,

Men Who Have Been Causing Much
Trouble Around Santiago.
Santiago, Cuba, March 26. = There
has been considerable trouble from
banditti during the last few days in
the vicinity OF San Luis. When it was
reported to Gen. Wood, military gov
ernor. he sent. military forces as well
as the entire force Of gend'armerie into
the district with instructions to cap
ture the bandits if possible. They met
with no success, but finally Lieut..
Hanna, Gen. Woods aide, went to San
Luis to make personal investigation,
with the result that within twenty-four
hours the ringleader. Francisco Die
guez, and five others were captuS2d.
and later two more were taken and>.}ne
killed while resisting arrest. All are,
now closely guarded in the military
prison here, the Jail not being consid-
cred safe, owing to the friendship felt
for the prisoners by several prominent
insurgent officers residing in Santiago.

Washington, March 26--Citizens of
the United States residing in Che
FOO, China, have made an earnest
appeal through Consul Fowler, at Che
Eco, to the charitable in America and
elsewhere on behalf Of the sufferers
from the appalling Yellow river floods
OF this. year. These floods have been
described by the natives as 'China's
sorrow" and the petitioners state that
never before was the distress, so
great and heartrending as now. The
most conservative estimates place the
number of starving at 100000, and
time and the increasing cold weather
will undoubtedly augment the dis
tress. The petitioners say they are

ports from their countrymcn in the in
terror depicting the famine of the refill
gees. Hundreds of villages are sub
merged, cities surrounded by water,
homes, furniture, clothing-in fact ev-
erythins-is under water or destroyed.
The natives themselves are living in
straw huts: many have absolutely no
shelter from the winters cold and
snow, subsisting on bark. willow twigs.
roots. etc. The summer crops have
been a failure. the seed for next
springs sowing is gone and there is
nothing for these starving millions to
hope for in the future.

want prevailing" says the American
committee, eve venture to call upon
the charitable in our home land to as
sist us in trying to alleviate at least
q portion of this misery. Therefore
we shall be glad to receive contribu-
lions of money and corn"

lines of intrenchments. These are sur
rounded by cane spikes SO imbedded
as to mutilate the feet of charging
force. Railroad bridges on the APP
proaches to Malolos have been de-
stroyed and the banks of all fordable
rivers and streams have been guarded
by long lines of intrenchments. The
American troops are thoroughly pre-
pared, however, to replace bridges in
the advance upon Malolos.
