New York, Feb. 25.-8 Il. ma rumor
is current this morning that Admiral Dew
ey fired on the German gunboat Irene at
| Manila.
A Herald special says that by perlnis-
sion Of the authorities a party Of blue
jackets landed every evening from the
| British cruiser Narcissus to act as a spe-
cial fire brigade for wetting down the
British consulate and banks as preciu-
ton against ineendiarism.
In view OF the above it is very probable
German marines were also landed, as per
the story yesterday denied at Washington.
If German marines landed without peimis'
sion OF Dewey shot may have been fired
across the bows of the boat, but moth
ing official is received on this. The Incl
dent which may have melted Dewey's
message for the Oregon is meeting of
foreign consuls in Manila at which the
British are not represented.
Despite the excitement of the last two
days business is proceeding as usual, and
there is general confidence in the ability
of the authorities to maintain order.
Sharpshooting, which has been going OH
in various parts OF the city, has practical
ly been stopped, but there is continued
diminishing on General McArthur's front.
One American was killed and four were
wounded this morning.
The church of San Francisco del Monte,
which was used by the insurgents as u
fort, and from which yesterdays attack
upon the First South Dakota infantry was
made, was bombarded by the Utah bat
terry this morning.
| A military government similar to that OF
Manila has been established at Iloilo.
Nine hundred and ninety-two military
Spanisrds sailed for Spain yesterday, 2SOO
remain and few civil employees.
There was light skirmishing on Kings
front last night. The city is quiet. In
vestigations reveal deep laid plot in the
native uprising two night ago.
To relieve the stringency of the civil
community all articles of diet except rice
are admitted free of duty.
