MANILA FULL OF AssAsSINS

p. m.-Thereare many indications that
Manila is full OF desperadoes who had in
tended to cooperate with Aguinaldo The
police are continually capturing men and
women with weapons concealed IN their
clothig. The vigilance of the authorities
in this respect is highly reassuring. Last
Saturday about midnight two EngIishmen
accidentally encountered a gang of arm
ed natives In a side street. The natives.
fearing discovery, imprisoned them until
morning and threatened to kill them un-
less they maintained silence. Many ma
tive clerks, employed by mercantile
houses, are missing. AS it is impossible
that they should have passed the lines.
the inference is that they are in hiding
in the city. Several attempts were made
TO assisinate Americans on the streets,
but that danger is now at a minimum
The natives are terribly cowed, and the
precautions taken, especially against in
cendiarism, are admirable. The rebels,
who have been swept in every direction,
like pheasants, in a battle die by the hun
dreds in the trenches-for the most part
passiveIy. except the Ygorotes, who
charge desperately and uselessly. The
rebel prisoners declare that thei rattack
