Manila, April 11.-About midni ght
the rebels cut the telegraph line in sew
er2l places between here and Malolos
and signal fires were lighted and rock
cts sent up all along the fccthills to the
right of the railway. Laser the enemy
attacked the outposts of the Minnesota
regiment between Bigaa and Bccave,
five miles south of Maiolos, killing two
men and wounding fourteen. Stimuli
taneously the outpoxts of the Oregon
regiment at MaTilao the next station
on the way to Manila, were attacked,
with the result that three Americans
were killed and two wounded. The
loss Of the enemy was ten killed and
six wounded. The Americans also cap
tured two prisoners. The rebels were
drlven back to the foothills.
1t is supposed that many of the reb-
els who made the attack were natives
who entered the region in the guise of
fIiendliness. They had seemingly Sc
creted arms in several places and fired
on the Americans from bushes at so
close range that they could be heard
talking. One of the Filipinos yelled in
English, 1--WE will give you damned
Americans enough of this before we are

Washington, April 1.-THE com
plete restoration Of peace between the

today first through the exchange of
ratif1cations Of the treaty, followed by
the issuance of a proclamation by the
President announcing to the world that
peace is restored. The ceremony of
exchanging ratificationS occurred at
3: IS tbs afternoon.
The effect of the action taken today
is to completely renew the peaceful re-
latiOns, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
sular and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment OF a United State minis
ter to Madrid and a Spanish minister
to Washington, it is expected that con-
suls will be sent to Barcelona and
other large places in Spain where our
consular representatives, were sus-
pended by the war. At the same time
Spanish consuls will be appointed
throughout this country. For a time.
trade and navigation between the two
countries will proceed without treaty
protection, as the war put an end to
the commercial treaty, bat a treaty of
trade, navigation and commerce, suit
able to the new conditions and needs
Of both countries and also an extradi-
ton treaty will be negotiated soon.
