Manila, Oct. Flowing 10 the Wig
lance of Lieut.. Thomas M. Bains, Jr.,
of the Ninth United States infantry,
another slaughter of American troops
by insurgents has been averted. It
seems that Lieut.. Bains discovered a
prisoner re-entering a cell at Carbiga
island of Samar, where several were
confined, through a hole that had been
let in the wall. An investigation
showed a plan to fill the Jail with bolo
men and TO call the guard, which
would be necessary to get the door
open, and then TO attack the garrison.
1t also developed that the instigators
were priest and the presidente, both
of whom have been arrested, together
with several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discov-
cred, but fortunately frustrated, at
Pambujan and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested in
connection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samara. Three hundred and thirty
marines under Lieut.-Col. Mancil c.
Goodrich have gone there on board the
United States cruiser New York; and
two battalions of the Twelfth infantry
will start Immediately for the same
destination.
United States officers from other
provinces that were supposed to be
pacified have recently arrived in
Manila, and they say that news Of

large quantity Of steel wagon springs
which were being shipped to various
districts. Investigation showed that
these were to be used in manufacture
