Nipped in the Bud.

Manila, Oct. 1S.-The authorities
were informed yesterday from reliable
sources that an outbreak in the poorer
districts of Manila had been carefully
planned for daylight ON Sunday. 1t
failed to occur, probably ON account of
the vigorous measures enforced. Many
natives of the Tondo district left, tax
ing their valuables. All the small
shops, which the guards usually force
to close at $3.50 p. NJ, were shut at
sunset. A general feeling of uneasi-
hess was apparent.
The guards OF the city were doubled,
and a strong force stationed at the
slaughter house, the center of an unruly
section. Two guns of the Sixth artil-
lery were stationed nearby at a point
commanding the native quarters. The
commanders of the reserve troops were
ordered to be prepared for call at day
light.
Three native policemen have been
arrested on charge of plotting an up
rising. The fact that their comrades
informed the authorities of their treach-
cry indicates that the police force is
loyal.

DOWN IN CAviTE.
General schwan's Expedition Accom-.
plishes It's Object.

Manila, Oct. 16.-General Schwan' g
expedition, having accomplished its OBJ
ject, the troops are all returning to
their former positions, abandoning the
towns taken.
General Schawn is en- route from
Peres Desmarimas to linus with the
infantry, while the artillery and cav
airy and all mule teams are retracing
their route from Malabon to Bacoor,
with the signal corps removing the
wires. Genreal Trias, with the organ
lied bodies of insurgents, retreated to
Slang and Indian, at the base OF the
mountain.
In Cavite province, the scene of the
hottest fights and their great successes
over the Spaniards, the Filipinos might
have been expected to make a resolute
stand, If anywhere, but after their
whippings at Cavite Viejo and Nove-
leta, their tactics consisted chiefly in
a continuous exhibition of their agility
and their Transformation from warriors
to amigos.
The marines, while accommodating
about the scene of Sundays encounter,
find that the trenches have been already
reoccupied, although the enemy mani
tested more than their usual willing
ness to retreat before the Americans.
At Malabon, the Americans corralled
200 or 800 natives, supposed to be
fighting men. A few of them were
caught with arms in their hands, but
large numbers were found in hiding,
dressed in khaki, like the American
uniform. A majority of them were in
the garb of amigos, but they are sus-
pected of shooting at the troops from
houses, growing habit, which -four
ished throughout the advance whenever
small parties OF Americans strayed
from the main body. The prisoners
are a white elephant on the hands of
the Americans.

Foreigners Fly Their Flags for Protec-
tiOn-American Sailors Ashore.


New York, Oct. 1S.-The Dutch
steamer Prins Fredik Hendrix arrived
today from Venezuela. The second
Golfer of the steamer said concerning
the revolutions:
'At La Guayra Laya, a man-of-war
was lately brought from Italy. She
was flying the Venezuelan flag and was
ready for action. There was no talk at
La Guayra, where the Prins Fredik
Hendrix touched ON September 23, OF
President Andrade leaving the country.
AT Puerto Cabello, when the Prins
Fredik Hendrix arrived on September
30, the streets were barricaded, the
windows of the houses We're barricaded
with bales of merchandise, foreign resi-
dents were flying their flags from
housetops and scattering shots We're
heard at night. General Castro was
near Caracas with 5000 rebels, it was
said.
1.-The American warship Vixen and
two French men-of-war lay at Curacao.
The American sailors had not been
ashore for seven and half months.
They were so wild that they mixed it
up with every one they met. The
Yankees cleared out one entire street,
known as Murder street, and 40 of
them were sent to the hospital"

SHOT HIS RECREANT WIFE.
Bullet Intended for the Man Who Was
In the Room with Her.

Oregon City, Or, Oct. 16.-A.
Brooks, of Canemah, who is employed
in the paper mills, returned home I'M
expectedly between IL and IL O'Clock
last night and found Frank Freeman
and Mrs. Brooks together in the house.
He shot at Freeman with his revolver,
but missed the mark and one of the
bullets entered Mrs. Brooks abdomen,
perforating the intestines and lodging
against the hip bone. DR.. Carl ex-
tracted the bullet, but says the woman
cannot live. Freeman was arrested
this afternoon, charged with assault
upon the woman, and was bound over
to the circuit court.

younger sister in the front room with
Pat Freeman, and in the rear room
found his wife and Frank Freeman.
He fred four shots, two hitting the
body of Mrs. Brooks. He further says
he has been carrying a pistol for a
month"; expecting to return home at
midnight and find Freeman with his
wife, but he did not muster enough
courage to return until last night.
Freeman's father and two brothers
were drowned nearly two years ago by
accidentally going over the falls in a
row boat. The Brookses have only
resided here a short time.

New York, Oct. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: While
General Schwan is engaged in scatter.
ing the enemy in Cavite province, Gem
erals Lawton and Macarthur are max
ing preparations for an important
movement to the north OF Manila.
General Macarthur and Lawton will
proceed to the north in the hope Of
trapping Aguinaldo and his forces be-
tween the three columns.
General Schwan's movement to the
southwark of Manila is merely in the
nature of demonstration, and for the
purpose of scattering insurgents who
have intrenched themselves in Cavite
province, the home of Aguinaldo and
the nest of the rebellion.

ACTIVITY IS WIDESPREAD.
Volume and Value Testify to Prevailing
Prosperous Conditions.

volume and Value Testify to Prevailing
Prosperous Conditions.
Bradstreet's saws: Trade activity is
widespread, all volume and value testi.
flying to prevailing prosperous condi-
tons. Only good reports are received
from distributive trade centers, and
some markets report fall demand as
holding ont longer than expected.
Railway earnings, bank clearings, re-
turns and quotations of staple prices
are all encouraging, pointing as they
do to maximum volume of business
for this period of the year. Crop re.
turns for October bear our earlier i'm.
pressions of shortened yields of most
leading agricultural products. Expec.
tation of more moderate yields of lead.
ing cereals is not confined to this coun-
try; the worlds wheat crop will admit
teddy be smaller, and rye, barley and
oats yields are not expected to be so
large as year ago. The higher range
of prices of all staples, and particularly
of agricultural products, will furnish
a profitable balance of producers.
The liberality of foreign demand is,
perhaps, best known in the September
report of exports of leading products.
shipment of breadstuffs are as large as
those of August, and there was natur-
ally q heavy gain in cotton exports.
which are doubled those OF the same
month year ago. Totals of leading
exports show an increase of % per cent
over September, 1896, but decrease
of S.5 per cent from September 1897,
which witnessed very heavy shipments
of breadstuffs.
