MANILA. Dec. 31.-Four explosive

of ammunition were discovered in a
house in the center of Manila this morn
Ing, while the police were seeking Re-
carte, the insurgent leader, who was
said to have come to Manila in the hope
Of effecting an outbreak yesterday by
taking advantage of the mobilization of
the American troops at Gen. Lawton's
funeral.
Today it developed that the plot in
cluded the throwing of bombs among
the foreign cousuls attending the cere-
mony, in order to bring about inter
national complications. These, itseems,
were to be thrown from the Escolta's
high buildings, but the avoidance of
the Escolta by the funeral procession
spoiled the plan.
The populace, it is thought, had been
prepared for the attempt by a rumor
circulated widely among the natives
yesterday that Aguinaldo was in Ma
Mia and would personally lead the out
break. The American authorities,
having been advised of what was brew
ing, prepared for all contingencies.
Capt. Morrison, who commands the
troops in the most turbulent district in
the city, says he does not believe an &C
tual uprising will occur, as the natives
lack the resolution to take the first
steps in movement that would entail
fighting at close quarters with the
American troops.

MANILA, Dec. S1.-An American ad-
vance in Cavite province, south of Ma
Mia, is expected shortly. Reliable re-
| ports from native spies show that there
are upward of 1000 organized insur-
gents under arms within a mile of linus.
They are strengthening their intrench-
ments and possess artillery.
At Novaleta the Filipino intrench-

since Gen. Schwan's advance. A thou

The provinces of North Carmarines
and South Carmarines hold quantities
of hemp which the people can not mar

in that part of Luzon is suffering from
lack of food. Rice now costs four times
its normal price.
1t is estimated that 1000 insurgents
are intrenched at GAMBIA.
Reports have been received that 1000
insurgents are massed at Mount
AraYatt, having strong positions, which
command steep and narrow trails, and
that they are prepared to roll boulders
down upon advancing troops.
Life along the coast of the provinces
of Cagahan and North and South IlocoS
is resuming normal conditions. The
American troops occupy the important
towns and patrol the country roads.
The natives implore the Americans to
continue the occupation, to establish a
settled government and to terminate the
uncertainty, abuses and cOnfscatiOns

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 31.-The pres

the Carnegie interests has given i'm

Death of a Centenarian.

Salem Mason, colored, doubtless the
oldest man in Tennessee, died at Nash
vile last week of old age. He reached
his 1O6th birthday on Christmas. Uncle
Selem was purchased by the city, ac-
cording to his "reminiscences, in 1927,
from John y. Mason of Southampton
county, Va, for 5000, and began his
labor for the city, grading the new
streets of Nashville built at that time.
He was plumber in rude way, and
for years was connected with the
waterworks department of the city.
When he became too infirm to do
manual labor he became watchman in
the city's employ, and several years
ago was retired on a pension of SO a
month. He served the city faithfully
seventy-three years. In tine his pen
sion was cut off, but city officials after
ward always saw his wants provided
for. He was proud of his connection
with the city, and likewise of having
once been owned by a first family of
Virginia.

Bold Burglars.

James Warmath, of Covington, had
an exciting experiment with burglars
one morning last week. About 2 o'clock
Mr.. Warmath, who had been sleeping
soundly, was suddenly awakened by
one attempting to chloroform him. A
handkerchief saturated with the drug
was held to his nostrils by an unknown
person. Mr.. Warmath grappled with
the burglar and had him in his power
when he heard another burglar in the
next room ask his assailent if he ''had
him?" Mr.. Warmath seeing that the
odds were two to one against him,
made his escape from the house. In
fact he collided with one of the burglars
in his hurried exit. The robbers had
searched the house thoroughly before
Mr.. Warmth awoke, but they secured
only few dollars.
