Manila, Jam 15.-The situation here
is undoubtedly critical, but Maj. Gen.
Otis has it well in hand and there IL
no such certainty Of trouble as many
believe. The rebels r concentrated
on the outskirts of the town, and their
leaders have issued strict orders that
they shall act only on the defensive.
An accident might precipitate trouble,
but the idea Of a rebel attack npon
Manila is ridiculous, as the Americans
resolutely control the position. Aguin-
aldo has republished the second mani
festo in reply to the proclamation OF
Gen. Otis, which was recalled on Its
first appearance, but 1t has proved in
effectual. On Wednesday a false alarm
due to trivial incidents occurring 81
simultaneously in opposite parts of the
city, led to a general call to arms OF
the United States forces. In fifteen
minutes the entire city was covered.
The promptness OF the Americans,
while 1t created az scare for the mo
ment, %effectually restored confidence
throughout Manila and dispelled the
excitement due to a passing fear on
the part Of the citizens that an out
break was imminent. 1t is possible
that the Filipinos, after the diplomatic
conferences that have been had be-
tween the representatives Of Gen. Otis
and Aguinaldo, have finally come to
understand that the cautious and con-
servative policy of the Americans Is
not due to fear, and they will accept
the inevitable with good grace. 1t Is
evident that at present they are unable
to appreciate the full meaning of the
}pHopopdonoo dSmondoh and that
when they do understand its extent,
the American proposition will be ac-
ceptable.
Madrid, Jan. Is. = The government
has received the following official dis
patch from Manila: 1.-THE American
troops here that were ordered to Iloilo
mutinied and refused to start. Gen.
Miller has been ordered to abandon
noilo and return to Manila. All the
American troops have been ordered to
concentrate here, the situation being
the ,gravest."

The Gallant Kansas Colonel Made a
brigadier General for Meritorious
and Conspicuous Service.

WASHINGTON. May 2.-The President
has appointed Col. Frederick Funston, of
the Twentieth Kansas, a brigadier general
of volunteers. This appointment was rec
commended by Major General Macarthur
and supplemented very strongly by Gen.
Otis in a cable dispatch received yester-
day. Gen. Macarthur said that the SER
vices Of Col Funston during the cam
paign, and especially in the crossing Of
the Rio Grande river, deserve recognition
such as his promotion to be a br.gadier
general, also that as a leader of troops
Col. Funston was especially valuable
The President recognizes the services of
Col. Funston and his first official act upon
returning to Washington was to make him
a brigad.er general The cable which
Gen. OTIS sent yesterday says:
Macarthur strongly recommends Col
Funston's appointment as brigadier gener-
al for signal skill and galantry in crossing
Rio Grande river and most gallant SER
vices since the commencement of war.

Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, May 2.-The seven
teenth annual meeting of the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary Society
of the Parkersburg Presbytery con-
vened III the Presbyterian church in
this city to-day at 2:30 p. m. The
response to the roll call of delegates
showed that a goodly number was pres
ent. The half-hour devotional exercises
We're conducted by Mrs. Humphrey, of
FalrmOnt. The address of welcome
was delivered by Mrs. Taylor, of Graf
ton, and the response by Miss Roome,
OF Slstersville. The reports of the vice
presidents and delegates to- the annual
meeting were read and discussed. The
appointment of committees followed.
A discussion participated in by ma
pority of the members as to the advis-
ability Of having more than one vice
president, and from the tone of the
speeches we would infer that there
will be but one vice president in the
future. A popular meeting was held
at 1880, conducted by Rev. J. H. Elan
agan, D. D., of this place. Mrs Pol
lock, of Buckhannon, delivered an in
teresting address on 1.-THE Women and
Children of India" This was follow
ed with recitation by Miss Clara Tur-
ner, one Of the most enjoyable features
of the evening. The meetings are we'll
attended and much interest is being
manifested. Adjourned till 10 a. NJ.

A Little Love-Scape Painted by

Who will ever forget the love story
of roguish and willful Bella Wilfer and
how she shook the golden dust of the
Golden Dustmans house from her lit
tie sandals and welded John Roke-
smith? They hied them down to the
water side, and there in a little cot
tage lived through the honeymoon.
One of the daintiest touches in the
whole story is the way in which Bella
tells her husband of the coming ship.
She has told John she has something
serious to speak about, and woman
Like talks of everything else before the
one thing burdening her heart, and
twists and turns a button of his coat
shyly, while she struggles with her
secret.
