Crisis on at Manila.

MADRID, Feb. 26.-An official dis
patch from Manila says:
"Ihe situation here is very serious
The foreign warships are disembark.
ing troops. General Rios will leave
Manila and go to Zsmbcanga. Island
of Mindanao
MANILA, Feb 26, $50 u. .n.-The
rra els concentrated in sucl, numbers
near the Chinese cemetery last night
.llat General Macarthur anticipated
an attack and asked for reinforce
ments Two companies of the twenty.
third regulars were sent to Caloocan
and battalion of the Twentieth reg.
u!ars to the cemetery at about mid.
night.
The expected attack was not made.
The rebels, after making a great noise
with bugle calls and yells of "Viva in,
depencia!" and "Mucho malo Ameri-
canos!" and firing volleys, disappeared
in the woods.
1t is believed their leaders are get.
ting desperate, and are attempting to
force the United States troops to make
an attack in the hope of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are evidently unwilling to be
pacified when facing the Americans.
1t is jlst possible however, that the
Americans may be goaded into taking
the offensive before more reinforce
ments arrive.

CEBu REBELS TAKE TO TIE HILLS,
According to advices by the steamer
Nuestra Sonora del Carmen, whose ar.
rival brought the news that the Amer-
ican flag had been raised over the is
land of Cebu, the United States gun
boat Petrol, Commander G. Cornwell,
visited Cebu on Feb 22 Commander
G. Cornwell sent an ultlmatum ashore,
declaring the intention of the Ameri-
cans to take possession. peaceably if
possible, by force if necessary.
The rebels Immediately vacated, TAX
ing their guns to the hills. a party
of merines and bluejackets was landed
and the American flag was raised over
the government building which they
still occupied when the Neustra Sonora
del Carmen left.
The same steamer brought dispatches
from Brigadier General Miller at
Iliolo. to Major General Otis, reporting
that all was quiet there; that there had
been no further fighting; that conf
dence had been restored and business
was being generally resumed. General
Miller thinks it is probable that the
natives will soon become convinced of
the error of opposing the inevitable,
and that the example set by the inhab
itants of Negros is having its effect
among other islands, which, though
not entirely convinced, are, in Cen
eral Miller's opinion, open to reason.

IOWA, THURSDAY, MARCH ?. 1899.

In due time we reached the Ranch,
as they call it, which contains 35
acres, located near the foot of the
mountains, we'll set with orange,
peach, apricots, prunes, figs, olives
yellow raspberries, white or Eng
lish walnuts, &c. Two nice DWELL
ing houses on the place, one for
hired help on the place, the other
is kept furnished and everything
in perfect order so that at any
time Mrs Pierce can take her ma
ny friends or go herself for q visit
or summer outing. The place is
supplied with most delicious water
which must be the "pure and
sparkling water" the temperance
people used to talk about. It is
spring water from the mountains,
and as pure as diamonds, and as
heathful as the fountain of you'll"
or the kind that poets describe.
While at the Ranch we had a
laughable but pleasant incident
which not only amused us but also
assisted in suppling the inner man
(and woman toy by assisting in
furnishing us all most delicious
dish for our dinner.
While on the Ranch, a daring
squirrel, attracted by our merry
laugh no doubt, thought proper
to invade the private. psesincts of
our picnicking party, and it was
amusing to see Mr.. Pierce chase
it, and when his 100 pounds came
down among the stones and stub
BILE it sounded like a mighty ava.
lanch had decended upon us-but
he got the squirrel all the same and
then the fun commenced in earn
est Mr.. Pierce dressed the game
and l prepared the fire, and Mrs.
Pierce prepared the fry, but just
then we discovered that we had
neither milk or flour, but never
daunted, we had set our hearts on
a fry and was bound to have it, SO
off to q neighbor for flour, and
Miss Minnie milked the COW, and
then was complete, Oh, my, but it
was delicious. l wish you had
been here. To this dish was ad-
ded roast beef, boneless chicken,
bread, boiled eggs, pickles, cheese
new grown onions, pumpkin pie,
apricots, yellow raspberry jam, and
to complete the spread, we had ma
tive wine (for the sick only,) to
be drank "for the stomach s-ache,
and our oft infermities." Now,
don't you wish you were sick SO
you could come to California?
This is most delightful and
health giving climate, and when
situated as we are in such nice
location, with such kind and So
cial entertainers as Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierce, we feel as though we could
tarry here forever.
Had / time and space | would
try to give yon description of the
city of Pasadena and surroundings,
but must desist for the present, /
must, however, remark that | am
inclined to believe that Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce's home is headquar-
ters for Iowa people, as 30 many
call at their pleasant home.
There is but one class of people
too numerous for the demand, and
they are the widows. They seem
to be like the Philistines of old,
"too numerous to mention"
We are shedding many briny
tears over people in dear old Iowa
who are shivering with cold and
storm. Yours &c.

OREGON CALLED FOR.
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1899-03-02
IDEAS M TnheAElNE1'

The cabinet gave some attention to
Dewey's cable message relative to the
political importance.'of sending the
Oregon ht once to Manila. The con-
clusion reached was that too much
Importance should not be attached to
it. 1T is Suggested from other naval
sources that Dewey wants the Oregon
to release a number of the smaller
ships of the fleet for other work. He
has been planning a tour among the
other :islands than Luzon with the
purpose of establishing the authority
of the United States among them. 1t
is also necessary TO establish close
blockade to prevent the insurgents
from receiving supplies. These pro-
jects require for their execution a
number of ships. Dewey cannot spare
them at present, but when, the Oregon
gets into Manila harbor it will be suf-
ticiently formidable to insure the pro-
lection of the entire harbor, in con-
JUNCTION with the two big double-tur.
reted monitors. Monterey and Monad-
mock. The remainder of the fleet will
be free to carry out the projects.
General Otis today cabled the War
department as follows:
Manila, Feb. "a -Scandia arrived
last night. On nights of Feb. 2l, 22
and yesterday morning insurgent
troops gained access to outskirts of
city behind our lines. Many were hid.
ing in and about and about 1000 in.
trenched themselves. They were rout.
ed yesterday with loss of killed and
wounded of about 500 and 200 tsker
prisoners. Our loss was very slight
