AFFAIRS AT MANUFACTURE OF PERFUMES MANILA. A Rebels Sending Their Families Into the American Lines. The Cruiser Buffalo Shells a Camp of Insurgents. OTIS LOOKING FOR AN ATTACK Manila, Feb. 21.—The California volunteers abandoned Guadaloupe chuich at 5 o’clock this morning, which has since been set on tire, and retired to San Pedro Macati. The rebels still hold the countiy in the vicinity of Guadaloupe, Pasig and Patero, despite the efforts of the gunboats to dislodge them from the jungles on both sides of the liver. The heat is intense, and is increasing perceptibly daily. Under present con- ditions, it is impossible to provide shade for the stioops in different parts of the line, particularly McArthur’s division. King’s biigade is also ex posed from San Pedro Macati to Culi- culi, where it joins Ovensbine’s brig ade. In view of the fact that the enemy were concentrating on tlie American tight preparations were made last night to give them a warm receptiou in the event of attack. General Ovenshine’s line, consisting originally of tire North Dakota volun teers, ttie 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 battalions of Oregon volunteers and three troops of the Fourth cavalry, as infantry. The Buffalo’s searchlight discovering the rebels unusually active about 10 o’clock in the evening, signaled tlie flagship for permission to tire upon them, and, this being granted, bom barded tlie enemy’s trendies for 20 minutes. The only effect of the fire was apparently to drive the rebels 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. Scouts claim to have seen General Pio del Pilar, who commanded the reb els at Paco, with his arm in a sling, directing the troops. General Monten egro, the insurgent commander-in- chief, is reported to be personally con ducting the movements in front of General King’s line at San Pedro Ma- cati. Guerrilla Tactics. Manila, Feb. 21.—Tlie enemy have apparently realized tlie hopelessness of attacking the American position, and are occupied chiefly by occasional sharpshooting from the jungle, when ever feasible. Fortunately, their ig norance of the use of sights minimizes the effect of their guerilla tactics. Tlie retiiement of General King’s advance posts upon San 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 the rebels poured volley after volley into San Pedro Macati from the biusli on the adjacent ridge; but tortunatelv 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 10- cate individual marksmen. RUSSIA AND CHINA. First Rupture Occurred at Tallen-Wan —300 Chinese Killed. Peking, Feb. 21. — A serio**s conflict has taken place between the Russians and Chinese at Talien-Wan, 300 of the latter being killed. The trouble is said to have originat ed in a question of taxes. Expected by Lord Beresford. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 21.—Admiral Charles Beresford was seen while pass ing through Detroit tonight in refer ence to the battle reported at Talien- Wan between Russians and Chinese. Lord Charles said that such a battle was only what be had been expecting for some time. Its effect, he believed, would be to shake the Chinese govern ment more than anything that occur red, and he asserted that trade would also suffer as a rest.lt of it. RIOTING IN PARIS. Organized Demonstration* Against the New President. Paris, Feb. 21.—Police measure» for the maintenance of order have been taken on an extensive scale. M. Lon bet did not quit his residence at the Luxembourg until 6 o'clock this evening. Toward 7 o’clock demonstrations oc curred in front of the office of Zebas- tian Faure’s anarchist paper, the Jour nal du Peuple, on the Boulevard Mont martre, for and against Loubet. There was a collision between rival fac tions and several persons were injured. Altogether, 100 arrests have been made in connection with today’s dis turbance«. _______ Manila, Feb. 18. — Ex-Consul of tlie United States O. F. Williams is in re ceipt of an applicationn fiom a mem ber of the insurgent congress at Ma- lolos, requesting a pasa through the American line for a family of 12 per sons, who are desirous of taking refuge in Manila. This is regarded as signifi cant as allowing the most intelligent rebels realize their families are safe only within American teriitory. With the exception of a few shots, tired into a small body of rebels, who were attempting to destroy a railroad bridge near Caloeau, all has been quiet along tlie line. Last night the heat affected the men in the country to a considerable extent, but otherwise the troops have shown a marked improvement siuce the be ginning of hostilities.

MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND. Beloved in Princeton and la the Rec ognized Head of Its Society, Mrs. Grover Cleveland, the wife of ex-Presldent Cleveland, lias been, since the time of her arrival in Princeton, N. J„ two years ago, as a resident be loved by rich and poor alike, and as a woman of fashion the acknowledged leader of Princeton society. It lias not been a life of endless dinners, cotillons and soirees, but rather one of domestic ity, combined with constant associa tion with the people who constitute the polite society of the famous old uni versity town. And Mrs. Cleveland is very iiopular among tlie undergradu ates. Twice a year she gives a recep tion to the students whom she knows, CI.KVEI.ANl». and on several occasions has chaperon ed partlee of fair debutantes who have come into town for the dances, at din ners or teas given at the upper-class clubs. She is invariably placed at the head of the list of patronesses of the bops and senior dances, and on many occasions has graced the affairs at the Casino with her presence. But aside from the dinners and re ceptions that she gives and attends with her distinguished husband, it is her home life that she most enjoys. Her four children are at the age when the mother’s care is most needed, and the whole wealth of her gracious na- ture is expended upon devoted atten- tiou to the little Clevelands.
