AGUINALDO PREPARING FOR A
DECISIVE BLOW.
MANILA, Feb. 1910 a. m)-The
rebels have apparently selected Mala-
bon as their base of operations in the
next encounter with the Americans, as
they are concentrating in considerable
force there and at Caloocan. Many
small bodies of scattered troops are
struggling in from the right, and 9th
ers are undoubtedly arriving from the
north interior provinces.
Aguinaldo is reported to have estab-
lished headquarters at Malabon for the
purpose Of rallying his forces for de-
cisive blow. In order to cover their
movements, the rebels again opened fire
upon the Kansas outposts last night
from the jungle. The firing was con-
inn fny fxx-oV,
effect. The Americans reserved their
fire until detachment of the enemy
emerged from the bamboos, when a
we'll directed volley made the rebels
scuttle back to their cover like rab-
bits. Beyond this everything is quiet
along the fire line.
The Fourteenth Infantry has I'M.
earthed several tons of Spanish shells,
which had evidently been stolen from
the Cavite arsenal and cached by the
rebels in the vicinity of Paranaque.
Fifteen carloads of it have been
brought into the city, as has also
modern naval gun and a part of it's
mount. There is nu doubt that the gun
was either stolen by the insurgents or
removed from one of the sunken war
ships
FILIPINOS AIDED FROM OUTSIDE.
BOSTON, Feb. 9.-The Globe this
afternoon prints a letter received in
this city from First Lieutenant Henry
Murray, Quartermaster of the First
South Dakota Volunteers of General
Otis command in the Philippines, which
says that as far back as the middle
of December, Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers were being encour aged and aided
by some outside sources, and that the
opening of hostilities was expected by
the United States troops. The letter
was of the date of December 10th, and
says in part:
"A couple of nights ago we expected
the insurgents to attack US, but it fell
through, like most of their threats.
Some one is working them up. One
cannot tell the end. We are ready.
The American troops are in no temper
to stand any fooling. In Manila those
that control do not want to lose power
and sink into obscurity."
AGONCILLO STILL AT MONTREAL.
MONTREAL, Feb. 8. = Agoncillo,
Marti and Luna, the Fflipinos, are
having very quiet time of it at pres
ent. They have received several cable
they are waiting for, those which are
supposed to contain direct news f.o1n
Aguinaldo, have not come. Agoncillo
says he is as yet entirely unready to
say what he will do.
"At present" he said, 1--WE are in
communication with seven different
points by cable and wire, and there
will be many more, for we cannot
carry on war like this without having
general understanding. We do not
rely upon assistance from the japanese
for the present" he replied in answer
to an inquiry. eve have made no
overtures to them, and they have not
made any suggestions to u.s.
When asked if he expected his other
Filipino friends from Washington, he
replied that they would remain in
Washington until they were ordered
out.
