Active at San Pedro Macati.
Manila, March 7 The United States
transport Ohio arrived yesterday.
In the last two days there has been
8 very noticeable change in Manila lor
the better, probably dne to the arrival
of reinforcements for the Ameiican
troops. Numbers of people are seen
on the streets, and the amount of busi
ness trausaoted in the stores has mar
velously increased. Yesterday the
Luneta was blocked with carriages for
the first time sinoe the outbreak, and
the band of the Twentieth regulars
played- a number of airs, and it was
hard to believe that a state of wai ex
isted. . .,
Outside the city there was desultory
firing throughout the.day, and at vari
ous points the sharpshooters were most
annoying. ,
At San Pedro Macati the rebels are
very active, ereoting entrenchments in
front of the position occupied by the
Washington troops, although a two-gun
battery of the Sixth artillery repeatedly
shelled them.
The enemy are fully alive to the fact
that Mausers have a much longer range
than the Springfields and are continu
ously taking "pot shots" in compara
tive safety. The American soldiers dis
like this passive resistance, and are
eager for the excitement of an aotiye
campaign. -, ,.,
, Despite the heat, the health of the
men in the trendies has improved re
markably. The transport Ohio arrived today
with reinforcements. One oasualty.

in Gil FUTURE
Rhodes': Views Concerning
the United States.
GOOD START HAS BEEN MADE
Colonization the Natural Potior of
the Republic-Logical Direction ot
Expansion Is Southward.
Alexandria, Egypt, March 4. -Cecil
Rhodes, who in the eyes of moBt Eng
lishmen is the incarnation of the im
perialist policy, holds views concern
ing the future of the United States even
more far reaching than most American
imperialists have broac.ied. : ;'
Mr. Rhodes, in conversation with a
representative of the press on boaid
the steamer Hapsburg, on the mediter
ranean, by which he came to Egypt in
the interest of the Cape to Cairo rail
road and telegraph, predicted most con
fidently that within a century the
United States would have advanced the
work begun in the evacuation of Cuba
until it controlled all of the Ameri
can hemisphere, exoept Canada. The
substance of the conversation is repro
duced with absolute verbal accuraoy.
Mr. Rhodes expressed admiration of
the work already done in Cuba, and
predicted that it would be carried on
n the Philippines. The United States
he considered one of the nations best
equipped for colonization, and re
peatedly exclaimed:
"You are taking to it like mother's
milk, apparently with the greatest
delight."
He inquired with great interest what
were the arguments of the opponents of
imperialism in the United States, and
commented that they seemed to be ani
mated by selfishness.
"It is the duty of civilized nations
to take charge of the barbarians and
give them a white man's government,"
he said. "The United States is one of
the great powers, and oannot escape
this duty."
He did not believe that the United
States would ever withdraw its author
ity from Cuba, and thought the manner
in whioh Spain had been evicted from
her colonies and the United States had
taken possession was most business
like. '
Amerloa's aotion in compensating
Spain for the Philippines surprised
him. "I would have bundled the
Spaniards out and made them pay a
war indemnity," was hie comment.
He declared that the United States
oould never withdraw from the Phil
ippines, beoause it was its duty to give
these people a strong and good govern
ment; nor did he believe that when
they had begun to realize the results
of their work there, the Americans
would desire -to abandon the policy.
They might grumble for a time over
the expense, but that would be
"mere flea bite" to a nation so rich,
"Why not abandon some of the ex
penses of the pension list, wbioh seems
so unreasonably large, if eoonomv was
necessary?" he asked. Even if a large
navy must be built, the United States
can well afford one. So far as the fear
of provoking foreign entanglements
and wars went, while England and the
United States stand together and main
tain their present understanding, whioh
is practically an alliance, no combina
tion of powers dare menace them. To
govern colonies, the United States must
organize a staff of colonial officials,
but it can do that as easily as it can
organize a new navy.
"You people of the United States
cannot always remain within ourselves,
You cannot always go on making
money. You must get out into the
world and take up your share of the
world's burdens. Already your are
outgrowing your own country, and will
absorb other countries, and yon will
give them good government. Why
should you not? You have it In your
blood. The Philippines will furnish
new careers for your young men. The
whole work will strengthen you and
broaden your national charaoter. Yes,
already you are taking to it like moth
er's milk."
NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
Professor Washerman, a Pupil of Kooh,
Discovered It.
New York, March 4. A dispatch to
the World irom Berlin says: Proles
sor Wasserman, one of Professor Koch'i
ablest pupils, is believed to have dis
covered a new serum for the cure oi
pneumonia. He inoculated rabbits
with the pneumocous baccilus, which
is generally believed to cause pneu
monia, and with the serum thus gained
he inoculated mice suffering from pneu-
mums, a subsequent series oi expert
merits showed that it was in the red
marrow of tlio bones that the anti-tox
in is produced, and tnat red marrow
taken from a human corpse after death
from pneumonia and used as a serum
will cure mice infected with the dis
ease.
Accordingly, It is hoped that this
lerutn will have the same satisfactory
resjlts in human beings.
