of general southern advance occurred,

MANILA, Jan. -Four explosive
bombs, few firearms and 800 rounds
of ammunition were discovered in
bouse in the center of Manila while the
police were seeking Rscarte, the insur-
gent leader, VINO was slid to have come
to Manila in the hope of effectng an
outbreak by taking advantage OF the
mobilization OF the American troops at
General Llwton's funeral.
1t developed that the plot included the
throwing of bombs among the foreign
consuls attending the ceremony, in
order to bring about international COM
plications. These We're. it seems, to
have been thrown from Escoltis high
buildings, but the avoidance, Of Es.
oolta by the funeral procession spoiled
the plan.
The populace it was thought, had
been prepared for the attempt by a ru-
NOR circulated widely among the ma
tives that Aguiualdo was in Manila and
would personally lead the outbreak.
The American authorities having been
advised of what was brewing, prepared
for all CONTINGENCIES.
CAPTAIN Morrison, who commanded
the troops in thu most turbulent district
of the city, said he did not believe an
actual uprising will ever occur, as the
natives lacked the resolution to take the
first steps in movemeuShat would en-
tail fighting at close quarters with the
American troops.

An American advance in Cavite prov
ince. south of Manila. was expected
shortly. Reiable reports from native
spies showed that there were inward of
1000 organized insurgents under arms
within a mile of linus, They were
strengthenin9 t',eir entertainments and
possessed artillery.
At Noveleta the Filipino entrench-
ments had bean much strengthened
since General Schwan's advance. hut
1000 of the enemy were in that vicinity
and there were 800 at San Francisco de
Malabon. From 10 to 100 garrisoned
all the towns in the southern part of
Cavite province and the same might be
said Of the towns in Batangas province.
The provinces of North Clmsrinas
and South Oamarines hold quantities of
hemp, which the people would not mar
ket. AS a consequence the population
in that part of Luzon was suffering
from lack Of food. Rice cost four times
its normal price.
1t was estimated that 1000 insurgents
are entrenched at Calamba.
Reports were received that about
1000 insurgents were massed at Mount
Arayat, having strong positions which
commanded steep and narrow trails,
and thev were prepared to roll boulders
down upon advancing troops.
Life along the coast of Cagavan and
north and south Ilocos was resumine
normal conditions. The American
troops occupied the important towns
and patrolled the country roads. The
natives implored the Americans to C )n-
linue the occupation. to establish a set
tied government and TO terminate the
uncertainty, abuses and confscations
that have characterized the rule of the
Tagalog revolutionists during about the
last IS months.
Vast amounts of tobacco, estimated to
