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.

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,

were attempting to destroy a railroad
bridge near Caloeau, all has been quiet
