All Quiet in and About City Except at
CaIOOcan,

Manila, Feb. 26-Noon.--Last night
bthe rebels concentrated in such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that General
Macarthur anticipated an attack and
asked for reinforcements. Two COM
panies of the Twenty third regulars
were sent to Caloocan and battalion
Of the Twentieth regulars to the ceme
terry at about midnight But the eX-
pected attack was not made the rebels,
after making a great noise with bugle
calls and yells Of viva independence"
and "mucho Malo Americana and fir
ing volleys, disappeared in the woods. 1t
is believed their leaders are getting des-
perate and are attempting to force the
United States troops to make an attack,
in the hope of beraking through the
American lines; but the rebels are evil
denly unwilling to be sacrificed when
facing the Americans. 1t is just posi-
BILE, however, that they may be goaded
into such move before more reinforce
ments arrive. All is quiet this evening
inside and outside of Manila except near
Caloocan, where the enenys sharpshoot-
ers continue to annoy our troops at
comparatively close range. One of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers was kill
ed. At Ariquina village, which was
burned last night. four men were
wounded in the skirmish, one of the Ida

Soldier in the Civil War
His Important Undertakings.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Major General
dead, aged seventy-seven years.
month ago General Reynolds had an at
tack of paralysis, which eliminated in
cerebral hemorrhage, causing death late

be inferred at Arlington Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Major General Reynolds was born in
Kentucky, January 4, 1922, but was ap-
pointed to the military academy from
Indiana in 1889 When graduated he
was appointed second lieutenant,
Fourth artillery, and after service at

assigned to the Third artillery and was
on frontier duty in Indian territory in
1S55-1S56. He then became a professor
of mechanics and engineering at WASH
ington university, st. Louis and was
also stationed at other colleges. After
the beginning of the civil war he rapid.
ly rose in rank from colonel of the 10th
Indiana volunteers to major general

he was engaged In the actions at Hoov-
er's Gap, battle of Chickamauga and
battle of Chattanooga. Later he was
in command of the defenses at New Or
leans from January to June 16, 1864,
and in command of the nineteenth army

Madrid, Feb. 26-An official dispatch
from Manila says: The situation here
is very serious. The foreign Warships
are disembarking troops General Rios
will leave Manila and go to Zamboanga,
island of Mindanao. The government

asserts that it is in a position to know
the truth Of the situation at Manila,
says: There is constant fighting be-

The courage and stubbornness of the
latter have caused great anxiety to the
Americans who do not conceal their be-
lief that the war will be a long and des-
perate one. There is the greatest alarm
among foreigners in Manila and the
commanders of the foreign warships
have decided to land forces to protect

TRIAL or THE 4UATS.
Every Indication Lust Night That IL
Would Com IN ence To-day.

| Philadelphia, Feb. 26.--There is every
indication tonight that United State:
Senator Quay and his son. Richard r
| Quay, will be placed upon trial to-mor-
row to answer the charges of conspiracy
and the unlawful use of state moneys
| Both sides are ready. Senator Quay
and his son have been here for some
time in daily consultation with theil
lawyers. The trial will be conducted fol
Rothermel, who was elected last No
vember, and his assistants. The tria
will undoubtedly be of unusual impor-
tance, not only because it presents the
spectacle of United States senator as
the chief defendant, but also because
upon it's result largely hinges his pollti-
cal future. 1t Is regarded as extremely
unlikely that the Legislative deadlock
at Harrisburg will be broken In the
meantime and it is conceded that the
outcome Of the trial will decide the ques
tion of the senatorial succession.
The Quays were indicted on November
1 last, Jointly with former State Treas
urer Benjamin ]. Haywood, who died
last Thursday The charges grew out
of the failure Of the Peoples bank of
this city in March last. The formal al
legation is that the Quays and Hay
wood, while the latter was state treas
urer, conspired with John S. Hopkins,
cashier of the bank, to use and did use,
in violation of law, state funds on de-
posit in the bank for their own private
purposes. Hopkins committed suicide
when the bank failed.
The case has already gone through
many preliminary stages, and a number
of postponements have been granted at
the prayer of the defense Demurrers
to the indictmnts We're filed and over
ruled and then the case was taken to
the supreme court on the plea, among
others, that the prosecution was actuat-
ed by political motives, which would
prevent an impartial trial in this coun-
ty, but the court ordered it to go on in
the usual course. Judge Beitler will be
on the bench during the trial in antici-
patton of crush the attendance will be
restricted to witnesses, jurors and news
paper representatives. lHc III ~ uay
will doubtless be oc cupied in drawing
jury and it is thought the trial will
consume at least one week. The COM
monwealth will call between fifty and
sixty witnesses. A curious phase of the
case is that among the witnesses sum-
moned by the defense are former Post
master General Wanamaker, ex-Judge
Gordon, Democratic National Commit
teean Duffy and State Senator David
Martin, who have been the leaders in
the Quay opposition.

THE SoALLoP BUSINESS.
Vast Quantities Destroyed In Chatham
Bay by Severe Weather.

Chatham, Mass, Feb. 26.--The great
sheets of ice that formed in Chatham
bay during the recent cold snap not
only destroyed vast quantities Of seal
lops, but has well nigh ruined this lu-
crative business for years to come, with
the result that large number Of fish
ermen dependent upon the spring catch
will be forced to seek other employment.
The catch up to the first Of the month
footed up over thirty thousand bushels,
and there was every prospect that be-
fore the season closed there would be
fully as many more taken from the
natural beds just off shore The ice,
however, was of such extraordinary
thickness that it formed solid to the
bottom and crushed the shell fish In by
the thousands. Then came the thaW of
last week, during which time the tide
broke up the ice, and the bivalves who
were not already destroyed were car
ried to sea and lost. The ice did not af-
feet the oyster fishing SO much as the
scallop, but nevertheless there will be a
great falling off In the shipment from
now on to the close Of the season. and
this will be severely felt by nearly every
one in town.
