musketry and the booming of the can

All carriages disappeared as if by
magic, street cars were stopped, tele-
graph lines were cut and soldiers hur-
riedly but silently marched out of the
city to the stations assigned them. The
stores were closed almost instantly;
foreign flags were to be seen flying
from many windows and a number Of
white flags were hung out from Fill
ipino huts and houses. rhe Minnesota
troops acting as police, searched every
native and arrested many of them,
with the result that while there were
several attempts to assissinate the
American officers on Saturday there
were none on Sunday. Absolute order
was maintained. The United States
flagship Olympia steamed across the
bay Sunday and took up her position
near the German cruiser Irene and the
British cruiser Narcissus, off the Mole.
She is still there. The Americans are
determined not to give the Filipinos a
chance to recuperate. 1t has been inn
possible, owing to the fact that the
regiments are scattered to obtain re-
