AFFAIRS AT MANILA Oregon Soldiers Sent to the Fighting Line. REBELS NOW CONCENTRATING Cml.er rtntFalo Bernhardt tho latotv geott, Drlvlag Them Inland Heat iBteaie and laereailng. Manila, Feb.' 31. Tbe California volunteers abandoned Guadeloupe cliuich at 5 o'clock this morning, which has since been set on fire, and retired to San Pedro Macati. The rebela still hold the oountiy in the vicinity of Guadaloupe, Pasig snd Patero, despite tbe efforts of the gunboats to dislodge them from tbe jungles on both sides of the river. Tne beat is intense, snd Is increasing perceptibly daily. Under present con ditions, it is impossible to provide shade for tbe stioops in different partn of the line, particularly McArthur'a division. King's brigade Is also ex posed from San Pedro Macati to Culi cnli, where it joins Ovenshine's brig ade. In view of tbe fact that the enemy wero 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 troops of the Fourth cavalry, stretching from the beach at Camp Dewey to Gen eral King's right, was reinforced by two battaliona of Oregon volunteers a.id three troops of tbe Fourth cavalry, as infantry. The Buffalo's searchlight discovering the rebels unusually active about 10 o'clock in the evening, signaled tbe flagship for permission to fire upon them, and, this being granted, bom barded the enemy's trenches tor 30 minutes. The only effect of the fire was apparently to drive the rebela fur ther inland. Beyond a few ineffectual volleys from the trenches, which were returned with interest, the enemy made no dem onstration, and all is quiet along the . rest of the line. v Scouts claim to bave seen General' Pio del Pilar, who commanded the reb- ' els at Paco, with hia arm in a sling, directing the troops. General Monten egro, tbe insurgent commander-in-chief, ia reported to be personally con ducting the movements lu front of General King'a line at San Pedro Ma cati. , . - ' Oaerrllla Taetiea. ' Manila, Feb. 31. Tbe enemy bave apparently realised the hopelessness of attacking tbe American position, and are occupied chiefly by occasional sharpshooting from the jungle, when ever feasible. Fortunately, their ig norance ot the use of sights minimises the effect of their guerilla tactics. The retiiement o! General King'a advance posts upon San Pedro Macati baa evidently been construed by the rebels as a sign of weakness, aa they pressed forward along both sidea of the river, persistently bsrrassing tha occu pants of tbe town. Last night the rebels poured volley sfter volley into San Pedro Macati from the brush on tbe adjacent ridge; but fortunately without effect. Gen eral King's headquarters in the center ot the town wss 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. Flrat Rupture Occurred at Talleai-vFaB -30O Chlneto Killed. Peking, Feb. 31.
