Relieved Tlielr Leaders Are Getting Des

Troops to Blake an Attack-One Man
Killed, Four Wounded—No Contllct With
Germaus.
Manila, Feb. 28.-Tlie rebels con
centrated in sueli numbers near the
Chinese cemetery that Gen. Mac A
rthur expected an attack and asked for
reinforcements. Two companies of
the Twenty-third Regulars were sent
to Caloocan and a battalion of the
Twentieth Kegulars to the cemetery.
But the expected attack was not
made. The rebels made a great noise
with bugle calls and yells of "Viva
independencla!" "Mucho Malo Amer
icano!" and the firing of volleys, then
disappeared in the woods. It is be
lieved that their leaders are getting
desperate and are trying to force the
United States troops to make an at
tack, in the hope of breaking through
the American lines. Hut the rebels
evidently are unwilling to be sacri
ficed when facing the Americans. It
is possible, however, that they may
be goaded into such a movement be
fore more reinforcements arrive.
There has been quiet inside and out
side of Manila, except near Caloocan,
where the native sharpshooters con
tinue to annoy our troops at a compar
atively close range. One man of the
Twentieth Kansas \ oluuteers was
killed. At Marlquina village, which
was burned last night, four were
wounded in a skirmish, one of the
Idaho, one of the Minnesota and two
of the Pennsylvania volunteer regi
ments.
Xo such emergency exists here as
is represented by reports circulated in
the United States—and cabled back to
Manila—that Admiral Dewey has had
a collision of a forcible character with
iho German naval commander.
AGUINALDO WANTS TO QUIT.
Nine Thousand Rebels Are Reported Ready
to I.ay Down Their Arm*.
Manila, Mar. I.—Nine thousand in
surgents who have been most active i'l.
recent attacks upon Manila have sig
tlie recent attacks upon Manila have
signified their readiness to surrender.
There are signs also that Aguinaldo
himself is anxious to treat for a ces
sation of hostilities. Two commis
sioners arrived under a Hag of truce
from Malolos, the headquarters of
Aguinaldo. They report that the reb
els are in a chaotic state of fright and
uncertainty and that their leaders are
losing all control over them. Although
they express the belief that Aguinaldo
is ready to accept pacific ovenitures,
there is little likelihood of an oppor
tunity being offered to him. It is well
understood to be the policy of Gen.
Otis to require that the first over
tures for a cessation of hostilities shall
come from Aguinaldo himself. From
the attitude of the commissioners it is
evident that these overtures on the
part of the insurgent chief may be
made at any time.
(Jenerul (■ 0111 c/ Enter* Havana.
Havana, Feb. 28.—General Maximo

Chief, entered Havana, escorted by
Gen. Ludlow and his staff and Troop
1..0f the Seventh United States Cav
alry. lie inarched at the head of 2,-
000 armed Cuban horsemen and foot
men. The population of the city was
wild with enthusiasm, throwing them
selves in front of the General's horse,
impeding its'progress and pelting him
with flowers. The General reviewed
the troops at the Palace. The festiv
ities in honor of the fourth anniver
sary of the beginning of the Cuban
struggle for independence were most
spontaneous and wildly enthusiastic.
Havana has never seen anything like
it before. The entrance of General
Gomez into the city was, of course,
the principal feature. The whole town
was decorated and the streets were
packed with a crowd twice as large as
that whcli turned out at the Garcia
funeral.
Discontent at Santiago.
Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 28.—The re
sult of Governor-General Brooke's lim
itation of public work in this province
is shown in the gloom pervading busi
ness and Government circles. The
Cubans throughout tlie province are
now more outspoken in their antagon
ism to the Americans. It was report
ed to' Gen. Wood that a prominent Cu
ban official had said that if the Ameri
cans do not turn over the Government
by .Tune the Cubans will declare war
against them. Army men, while not
apprehensive of immediate trouble,
feel that the attitude of the people has
changed.

Fifty Bluejackets Who Took the Place.
Manila, Feb. 28.—A battalion of the
Twenty-third Infantry, under com- i
mand of Major Goodale. started on :
the transport Pennsylvania for Cebu,
which was occupied a few days ago
by titty sailors from the gunboat Pet
rel. When the bluejackets went
ashore the native government vigor
ously protested, saying that their al
legiance had been given to Aguinaldo,
but the authorities made no forcible
resistance to our occupation, they be
ing practically without means of de
fense. The only fear now is that they
will burn the town before the troops
arrive.
(Jen. Otis is confident that there
would have been no trouble had the
Petrel delayed sending men ashore un
til the Commissioners from Negros,
who are now here, could have gone
back and paved the way for the com
ing of the Americans.
The village of Mariqulna has been

The Grain Market.
WHEAT. —Weather news had a
considerable effect upon the wheat
market. Chicago predictions were for
a new cold wave in the Northwest,
which would be anything but favora
ble for winter wheat at the present
time after having experienced a week
Dr so of comparatively mild conditions
with freezing and thawing weather
in some sections. But few actual crop
damage reports came to hand, most
of the Western news containing mes
sages similar to those of the last few
days, indicating that wheat thus far
was in fairly good shape. In the last
six (lays Liverpool has recelvel 728,-
000 bushels of wheat, of which 712,000
bushels were American. CORN.—
Speculation continues extremely nar
