I I Sayn That Affonclllo Advised the Fll* 1 Jpino* to Attack the American | Forces?Tbe Cannftllle*. , Manila, Feb. 12, 4:50 p. m.? Contrary to gen- I eneral expectations, all Is quiet alODg tbe en- ] tire line. Nothing has happened up to this ; Ks*ti?? ?a HfotnrK thfi nftonftnf Sunday. la Manila tbe Inhabitants have generally recovered from tbe alarm occasioned by tbe fear of a native uprising, and are resuming their ordinary business. Tbe shipping interests are naturally suffering, since tbere have been no clearances for Philippine ports for a week, but on the other hand, foreign shipping has increased, especially for Hong Kong, every steamer, bound thither being orowded with timid refugees. FIGHT FROM THE JUNGLE. Despite this quietude many are asking whether the problem Is not still lar from solutlod. A week ago those who took an optimistic view predicted tbat tbe terrible lesson just administered to tbe rebels would settle the question of Filipino independence in short order. But this prediction has not been fulfilled. As a matter of fact tbe rebels are now scattered throughout tbe country bushwacklng, except in Malabon, where they are gathered In force. Even there their methods savor more of guerrilla than of civilized warfare, every bush and clump of trees lornisbins; a cover for their sharpshooters. Unfortunately, for miles around tbe land Is studded with bamboo Jungle, and open spaces are few and far between. Tbls affords tbe natives, who fight better under cover,a district advantage. In many places tbejungle is so dense tnat the eye cannot penetrate it, and only by the flashes of their rifles are tbe * whereabouts of tbe enemy indicated. 1 THE AMERICAN ADVANCE. Under such conditions it is remarkable tbat the American casualties should be so few. while the number of dead natives found \ in the brush after every skirmish testifies to : tbe precision of our fire. Last week there was not a single day without "fighting, but tbe Americans steadily advanced, carrying ' everything oefore them, and gradually increasing their seml-olrcle, until now Itspreads r ' r?A 111 m Ilea Ornnr?rl Munila IttUDUapO 1IULU iUUI IU 1V UJIUO muuuu tbe waterworks being tbe most distant point. . twenty-five hundred filipinos killed.

Many rifles and a Ion of t ammunition have been seized. As might be t expected, there has been looting In the out- < skirts, but It has been done In direct violation of orders. The only Incident that hes broken tbe quiet of the day followed the arrival of tbe German flrst class crusler Kalserln Augusta. When she saluted Admiral Dewey this afternoon a report spread rapidly tbat the American warships were bombarding Malahon. battlefields visited. i Today crowds have visited the scenes of t last week's fighting. All*the roads from the c city were thronged with vehicles. But beyond burned villages and the new mounds In the fields there was little to be seen. A close Inspection showed tbat most of tbe enemy's ? dead had remained at their posts to the last, as the bodies were usually surrounded by empty cartridges, while In tbe trenches wherever were no dead, there was little and often no ammunition. .. Among tbe distinguished prisoners captur- . ed in Manila since tbe outbreak of hostilities 1 are Capt. A. Q. Escamlldo, Aeulnaldo's pri- g vate secretary ; Capt. E. P. Veragutb, Ool. Martin de los Reyes and Senor Tomas del Rosario, a member of tbe so-called FlllplDO j congress in session at Malolos. A few minor Filipino officials are also in custody. AGONCILLO'8 WOEK.
