AUTHORITIES PREPARED.

prepared for the attempt oy a rumor,
circulated widely among the natives
that Aguinaldo was in Manila, and
would personally lead the outbreak.
The American authorities having been
advised Of what was brewing, prepared
fcr all contingencies.
Capt Morrison, who commands the
troops in the most turbulent district OF
the city. says ne does not believe an
actual uprising viii ever occur, as the
natives lack the resolution TO take the
first steps In a movement which would
entail fighting at close quarters with
the American troops.
