Threats Not Acted Upon

MANILA, Feb. 25.-1O:15 a. m.-De-
spite the threats of the Filipinos to burn
the business center, the inhabitants of
Manila were not disturbed last night.
Everything was quiet on the line out
side, except for occasional volleys from
punches of the enemy at various points.
The enemy was most active along Cen
eral Kings and General Ovenshine's
lines, from the beach to Pasig, but few
volleys of musketry, supplemented by
shells from the Buffalo, effectually
quieted them.
The foreign consuls met yesterday to
confer regarding commercial interests,
but the result of their deliberations has
not been communicated, it is under

that it was quite unavoidable. Instead
of remaining in the stone basement
during the excitement occasioned by
the fires in the vicinity the trio leaned
from an upper window. Their white
suits attracted the attention of the
American soldiers, who, believing them
to be natives firing from the windows,
shot all three. Mr.. Argentine is dead.
