J Manila, Feb. 21. The California volunteers abandoned Quadaloupe chuich at 5 o'clock this morning, which has sinoe been set on fire, and retired to San Pedro Macati. The rebels still hold the oountiy in the vicinity of ' Guadeloupe, Pasig and Patero, despite the efforts of the gunboats to dislodge . innm Tmra iiir liinpmH nn in n ihm in The heat is intense, and is increasing perceptibly daily, Under present con ditions, it is impossible to provide ' shade for the stroops in different part of the line, particularly MoArthur's 'division. ' King's brigade is also ex ; posed from San ,' Pedro Macati to Culi 7 culi, where it joins Ovenshine's brig ade. , ;'' v ' ; . . ' In view of the fact that the enemy were concentrating on the American right preparations were made last night to give them a warm reception in the event of attack. . General Ovenshine's line, consisting . originally of tbe North Dakota volun teers, the Fourteenth infantry, and two troopB of the Fourth cavalry, stretching from the beach at Camp Dewey to Gen eral King's right, was reinforced by two battalions of Oregon volunteers add three troops of the Fourth cavalry, as infantry. ' , , The Buffalo's searchlight discovering the rebels unusually active about 10 o'clook in tbe evening, signaled the flagship for permission to fire npon them, and, this being granted, bom barded the enemy's trenches for 20 minntea.

Manila, Feb. 21. The enemy have Apparently realized the hopelessness of attacking the American position, and are oocupied chiefly by occasional sharpshooting from the jungle, when ever feasible.

The retiiement of General King's Advance posts upon Ban Pedro Macati has evidently been construed by the rebels as a sign of weakness, as they pressed forward along both sides of the river, persistently harrassing the occu pants of the town. Last night tbe rebels poured volley fter volley into San Pedro Macati ' from the brush on the adjacent ridge; but fortunately without effect. Gen eral King's headquarters in the center of the town was the target for scores of Remington and Mauser bullets. The rebls are using smokeless pow der, and it is extremely difficult to lo cate individual marksmen. ' RUSSIA AND CHINA. First Rupture Occurred at Talleu-Wan 300 Chinese Killed. Peking, Feb. 21.

His point of order was that the paragraph was obnoxious to rule 21, invoked yesterday against the Nicaragua canal amendment. If the treaty of Paris was completed, if it was vital ized by the ratification of the Spanish cortes and the exchange of iatifloations had taken place, he confessed that the treaty would be the law of the land and the amendment would be in order.
