Line But the Natives Did Not Dare
to Lea We the Trenches--Gen. King
Has Resumed His Communication
ira tions From the Heat.
Manila, March 1850 p. m.-The Fill
pinos apparently had planned an attack
upon the lines of Gen. Otis ana Gen.
Hale this morning morning, but their
courage seemed to fall them, though they
fired signals and afterwards kept up the
fusilade along the American front for
an hour. Our troops, in obedience to or
ders, refrained from shooting, with the
exception of two companies of newly ar
rived men who replied until they had
suppressed a regiment of Aguinaldo's red
brigade. This body of rebels seemed un-
der better leadership than most of the
others; and a white man was seen among
the officers endeavoring to lead them to
the attack, but apparently all efforts to
induce them to leave the trenches were
futile.
The American authorities in Manila say
the city is now so effectively policed that
serious outbreak is i'm possible. They
believe that the natives are oowed.
Tne presence of the families of officers
is discouraged, and many are leaving on
board the United States transports, some
going to Japan for temporary residence.

THE ADAMOWSKI CONCERT.

The second of the chamber concerts
 took place at North Sheffield hall last evning. The performers this time were the Adamowski trio, consisting of Tim othee Adamowski, violin; Joseph Adamowski, cello, and Madame Szu- mowska -Adamowski, piano. The con- cert was better attended than the first of the series and it was a delightful and unusually artistic treat. Such beautiful ensemble playing is only rare ly heard. There seemed to be the very breath of inspiration in all their work last night, certain freshness and spontaneity that were wholly out of the ordinary. It it not possible now to make detailed account of the pro- gramme. It consisted of the c minor Brahms and A minor Tschaikowsky trios, and the St. Saens' "Rondon Cap ricioso." The solo number was played with admirable spirit and elegance and the demand for an encore was so per- sistent that the Bach "Chaconne' was given. Both the Adamowskis did splen- did work throughout and Madame Szu- simply confirmed the opinion expressed here before, that she is one of the greatest artists in America to- day.

Republican Journals, stung
by the Havemeyer apothegm
1.-The tariN is the mother of
Trusts" are at some pains to
show that the Sugar Trust
makes less money under the
operation Of the Dinghy law
than it did under the Wilson
act, This is not answering
Havemeyer. The Sugar Trust
makes its profits out Of tariff
discrimination, and Halves
meyer insists, with candid
greed, that the favorable dis
elimination ought to be lars
ger than it is. The sugar
schedule in the Wilson law
was defective, for the reason
that it's protective features
had solid Republican support
and the aid of a few treach>
erous Democrats. The att
tempt to parry the force of
the Hav6meyer thrust by
quoting the sugar schedule Of
the Wilson law is about as
silly as the other excusa tory
plea that TRUSTS exist where
there is no tariff" The peo>
pie will know how to deal
with the Trusts; but the first
step is to pull away the Gov>
