bombs, a>few firearms and 500 rounds
of ammunition We're discovered IN u
house in ~thescenters of Manila Sester-
lay, in which the police were seeking
aRecarte, the insurgent leader, VIM
was said TO have come to mi in the
hope of effecting an outbreak yester-
bilization of the American troops at
General Lawton's funeral.
1t developed that the plot includes
the throwing of bombs among the
foreign consu1s attending the cere-
mony, in order to bring about inter.
national complications. There, it
seems, were to have been thrown from
the Escolras high buildings, but the
avoidance of the Escoltns by the fu-
neral procession spoiled the plan.
The populace, it was thought, had
been prepared for the attempt by a
circulated widely among the
Batives yesterday that Aguinaldo was
in Manila, and would personally lead
the outbreak.
The American authorities, having
been advised of what was coming, pre-
pared for all contingencies.
Captain Morrison, who commands
the trops in the most turbulent dis
'trict of the city. says he does not be.
lieve an actual uprising will ever oc-
cur, as the natives lack the resolution
to take the first steps in q movement
that would entail fighting Mt close
quarters with the American troops.
An American advance in Casite
province, south of Manila, is expected
shortly. Reliable reports from native
spies show that there are upward OF
1000 organized insurgents under arms
within a mile of linus.
They are strengthening their en-
tr~enchlnents and possess artillery.
At NovaIeta, the Filipino entrcnch-
ments have been much strengthened
since General Schwan's advance. A
thousand of the enemy are in that Vi
cinity and there are 600 at San Fran
cisco de Malabon. From twelve to n
hundred garrison all the the towns in
the southern part of Cayite province
and the same may be said of the
towns in Batangas province.
The provinces of North Camnrines
and South Camarines hold~quantitics
of hemp, whicht the people cannot mar
ket. AS a consequence the population
in that part of Luzon is suffering from
lack of food. Rice nov costs four
times its normal price.
1t is estimated that 1000 insurgents
are entrenched at Calamba.
Reports have been received That
1000 insurgents are massed at Mt.
Arayat, having strong positions which
command steep and narrow trails, and
that they are prepared to roll boulders
down upon advancing troops.
Life along the coasts of the prov
lnces of Cngayan and North and South
Ilocos is resuming normal conditions.
The American troops occupy the inn
portant towns and patrolthe country
roads. The natives implorc the Amer
leans to continue the occupation, to
establish a settled government and to
trminate the Uncertainty, abuses and
a~contiscatis.s;g tnai@iaaye characterized
fhesruleSo of the Yasalog revoiutfes.sts
during the last eighteen months.
Vast amounts of tobacco, estimated
to be worth S2,GoB,0oo. are ready for
shipment to Manila. The opening of
the ports of Dagupan, San Fernando,
Vigan, Iaoag and Apnrri will permit
the resumption of trade, bringing re-
lief of communities greatly in need
of food stuffs. Many vessels have al
ready cleared for Manila for these
ports.

TINT Aguinaldo has ordered the re-
lease of all Spaniards now in posses
sion of the rebels. The mountain
passes of Cagayan and the two Ilocos
provinces are still guarded in the hope
of catching the insurgent general,
Tino, who is still! a fugitive. 1t is as
serted that Lieutcnant.G Gilmore is in
Tino's custody.
The transport Zafiro has arrived at
Manila, bringing General Tinano, who
is much grieved at being s%upplanted
by Colonel Hood as military governor
of Cagayan province. He hesitates to
land because he looks upon Manila us
a nest of insurgents who may assas-
sinate him because he surrendered
Cagayan. He says that when Colonel
Hood arrived the presidents of all the
towns in the province repaired to
APART and begged him to continue
them in their positions, SAYING also
that the natives desired to be rid of
the presence of the M%acabebes, the
friars and the colored American sol.
diers, toward whom they entertained
II violent antipathy.
SiXty-eight sick out of Major Bach
elor's command of 10 are coming to
Manila.
