MANILA, Feb. 25.-4:44 p. m.-The
enemy's sharpshooters have been par
ticularly active about Caloocan all day.
Special attention was paid to the three
gun battery near there, and the inn
provement of the rebels workmanship
was very noticeable. The rebels fired
volleys at the battery. their bullets
frequently skimming the tops Of the
sand bags. A lieutenant Of the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers and three other
men were slightly wounded. A man
was killed in the trenches.
The rebel battery has not been used

ploded over it Thursday. The enemy's
fire was so hot during the night in the
vicinity of the Higgins house that the
eheadquarters was removed to . church

A few small fires destroyed several
native houses in the outskirts of the

F'Resues : ARE NUMEROUS mi
Great Difficulty Experienced
in Preventing Manila's
Destruction.
Sharp Engagements Occur at
Several Points, the Reb-
els Retiring.

New YORK. Feb. PA special from
Manila says anarchy rules in that city.
Americans are in danger from attacks
by sssassins in the city and the bullets
Of the sharpshooters in the outskirts.
An order issued by General Otis COM
manding all natives to remain indoors
after 10 o'clock is being strictly en-
forced. Those who disobey the order
are summarily dealt with.
In the outskirts the Americans are In
constant peril owing to the Indian tao
tics employed by the natives, who pick
off the troopers who happen to expose
themselves. Many Of those who suffer
wounds are victims Of Filipino sharp
shooters, who are hidden aud perfectly
safe.
But the worst feature of it all is the
difficulty experienced in keeping Manila
free from frebugs and assassins. The
Filipinos are persistent in their annoy
ing tactics. and creep in. despite tho
watchfulness Of the American pickets.
There is no danger Of tho Americans
losing control Of the situation in the
city, but as matter Of precaution many
women and children have been taken
on board the transports.
