Sunday morning. The chief is bit

placing the Ygorotes in face of the
American batteries under pretense that
they were sent to occupy the post OF
honor and he intimates that the Ygor.
otes will avenge this treachery when
the survivors return north.
1t is regarded IS significant fact
that many Of the Filipino officials OF
this city disappeared from Manila as
soon as hostilities commenced. Some
of them are supposed to be still hiding
here.
The further the Americans extend
their lines the more the need of means
of transportation increases. The
American commanders have already
been compelled to seize vehicles and
horses on all sides, to the inconven
fence necessarily of the civilians. All
conveyances at this writing have either
been impressed or have disappeared In
some manner or other. Street car
traffic, however, has been resumed and
the cars are running regularly, though
tle streets are almost deserted.
There are few native stores open
and white flags, in the nature of tow
els, pillow-slips and aprons tied to
bamboos, adorn the windows of the
native residences everywhere, But, in
spite Of these emblems of peace, scores
of Filipinos, under the cover of the
darkness, fired from these same win
dows yesterday ard last night on the
American patrols.
Ate o'clock last night there was q
general fusilade in the Quiapo and b.
non districts. The Inhabitants of the
city generally believed that q battle
was raging at their doers. as lights
were extinguished inside the dwellings
and . majority of the people were in q
state of terror. Under the circum-
stances 1t is remarkable that no casual
ties were reported. Several shots were
fired across the river during the excite
ment.
