Although the president had retired, the I good news wa ttmiiminicatcU to him.

General 1'orliln do's not believe Acuin. aldo and his followers who escaped wl.l engage In nuorrllla "varfarc. They have fo.iulit like veterans, and he says It Is not one of the characteristics of the br.ive soldiers to f lignite In bushw.icklng. He i knows when he Is whipped and Is wlll Iiik lo abide by the result. Other officers do not agree with Gen eral t'orbln and they say Anulnaldo will I never surrender, but will rtuht to the i bitter end, which means extermination. Those who take this view say If Agul. naldo decides to continue the unequal and dlsastcrous conflict, it will be orCy a question of a short time when he will be killed or In the hands of the Ameri asn forces. Officials and army officers here ssy the war will be pursued to the bitter end. and until tho nuthorltiy of this govern ment la recognised by the humblest rebel In the arehlpelairo. NATIVE TBOOrS TO FIGHT. Americans Will Not Kest Their Men Dur ing the Rainy Season. WASHINGTON. March 31.-A short rest will determine whether the Filipinos In tend to keep up a guerilla warfare, and a plan Is already maturing to meet any such condition. Natives will be employed to fight the guerillas, and, as the govern ment can give them bettor pay and afford thorn greater protection than Agulnnldo, there Is no doubt about their ability to employ natives In this way. If there must be guerilla flgrhtlng during the rainy senson. which will bo soon upon us, the Americans will not sacrifice their troops In such warfare, If natives can be ob. talned. The scene of action around Manila has shifted materially within the last 2t hours. MacArthur's advance rorward. which nas been pushing northward, has reached Its objective point, Mololos. It Is now enjoying a most deserved rest. Meantime, a new field of activity ap pears to the east of Manila, where Gen. era! Robert lion's brigade, made up en tirely of regulars, has thus far been held as a reserve. General Otis' dispatch, received early this morning, referred for the first time to the fighting done by Hall's brigade, saying a severe engage, ment had occurred beyond Marlquina. i This Is about 10 miles due east of Manila, and entirely outside of th range of the fighting of MacArthur's division. Accord ing to General Otis' dispatch received at ( a. m. today Hall haa now retraced this THE OUNUOAT WILMINOTON WARMLT RECEIVED AT PARA. CfTivef. vf iuv Vwi Eouieu by th Governor Will Ascend tha Amagon and Other Rivers. PARA, tlrasll. March -(Correspondence of the Associated Press) Tb Unit ed States gunboat Wilmington arrived here several days ago and haa been warmly received In official, social and commercial ci rotes. Dr. Paca da Comlho, governor ot to atata of Para, baa been upe- laMy cordial. On the evening ot the ISth be gav a state bun'iuet to Captain Todd and the officers of the Wilmington, to which were invited the American. English, French, i-eruvlan and Venezuelan consuls, th leading editors and several deputies, the siK-rtrtary of state, military and naval commandants and th leading merchants and bankers. Th banquet was given In tbe state dining-room ot the imposing esecutive mansion, formerly tb palace under the monarchy of Don Pedro. A guard of honor and a large military band was In attendance In tho courtyard, th latter playing th American national air as the American officers, beaded by Captain Todd, entered, tbe same honors being rendered as they left. The menu and wine were excellent and the tlorul decorations rich. Tb governor welcomed the ship and officers snd took occasion to express the high esteem in which the United States is held bv the Drs.xill.in. His toast was responded to by Captain Todd, of the Wilmington, and United States Consul Kennedy, fulljr re ciprocating tho present feelings of amity and expressing tbe hope that the future may only strengthen them. The Wilmington hsa visited nearly all the ports of the West Indies. Ventsut! snd British ana Dutch Guiana, and has ascended tbe Orinoco river as far aa an. cteitt Augustine, now called Cludad Ball vsr. Her officers have more than succeeded In cultivating cordial relation and their IntclllK-nce, military bearing, courtesy and hospitality has done more to culti vate the friendship of those people then any previous action of the govetnmcnt. a;id commercial and political result fav oraMe to the United States will urs.y follow. The Wilmington will leave to morrow on an extended trip up tbe Am axon, her first stop ot any duration being at Manu.1. l'.'-J in the interior. Only once bvfore has an American man of war been so far the Enterprise, about 15 years ago. Itut the Wilmington will go SWt) miles further up. to IquUos. In Peru, near the toot of the Andes. She will also ascend the Madeira. Negro and other rivers. As the Amason has thousands of miles of navigatile waters. It can be readily seen that hor mission contains many import ant political and commercial potential ities and will result in much valuable In. formation being collected about a strange and little known region, a region larger thuii all Europe, and having untold wealth of rubber, mineral and agricultur al products.

Wilt He All Out ot the Island Within a MonthQuarantine Law May Injure Travel. NEW YORK. March 31.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says: The rush of travel to the United States has reached lis high water mark. Within the last two or three days most of th vol. unteer regiments have been started away In time to reach southern ports before April 1, the day on which the new federal quarantine law goes into effect in all seaboard tow ns south of Baltimore. The second Illinois loft port this morn, ing. The other two or three regiments still here will have to be taken to New York, but all are expected to be out of the Island within a montn. Much Interest is felt here In the work ings of the new quarantine law passed, which is admitted to meet conditions no longer existing In Cuoa. Vigorous ap plication ot the revised rules will Inflict many unnecessary hardships on Ameri cans who have occasion to travel during the closed months between Cuba and tbe United States. Havana Is now apparently as clean as tho average American city and It the ex perience of the summer warrants It, a vigorous effort wHI be made to Indue th next congress to modify some of the extreme restriction, ot the present statute which virtually puts an embargo on travel to gulf and south Atlantic ports for half a year. The paradoxes of the money system, which are temporarily In force hire, are Illustrated In an order recently Issued from the department of posts In January. For the sake of publio convenience It was decided to accept In payment for stamps Spanish copper coin at its face value in amounts not exceeding 13 cents. The other day the department discovered It had on hand $W0O In copper pieces. which could be disposed of only at the rat of 60 cents on the doUsr. To stop this shrinkage In receipts, the prior or der to accept copper coins at their nomin al value was rescinded. Ihe department Is getting even with lie public, however, by charging about $1.70 In Spanish silver for !0 5-cent stamrs. while the American dollar Is quoted in sliver at the exchange at only $1.18. lipfraitdi n Louise Trabbold out of 1700 and mort. gages amounting to pw.

The passengers all agree that p.rfect order and discipline prevailed on board the Stella. The crew promptly took up their stations when the steamer struck, served out lite belts and lowered the boats. The scone at the moment of the sink ing of the vessel was heartrending. Those who had succeeded In getting Into the bouts had a narrow escape from being engulfed on account ot the suction by the sinking vessel. The vole of Captain Rooks from the bridge was frequently heard urging the rowers to pull for their lives. The boats were adrift 15 hours, during which time their occupants were without food or water, and, a, their clothes were drenched, they suffered greatly. The disaster Is generally attributed to the high speed at which the steamer was traveling In the tog. The steamer Honfleur returned tonight, after having made a circle of Casquet carrying the coin of the Anglo-California and other large banking coneers for more than SO years and no suspicion attaches to him.
