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

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.
