TRANSPORT WARREN NOW AT MANILA Aguinaldo Orders Soldiers to Re- sume Farming—Natives Celebrate Victories Over Spain—A Plot to Burn Otis’ Residence. MANILA, Oct. 6.——The town of Par- anaque was attacked by a force of insur- gents at midnight Wednesday night, and set on fire. Two companies of the Four- teenth infantry under command of Major Daggett repulsed the enemy. The Amer- icans suffered no casualties. The fire was not extinguished until several buildings had been destroyed. At the time this dis- patch is sent everything is quiet. The transport Warren arrived here yes- terday with therecruits for the three skeleton regiments raised in the Philip- pines—Colonel Bell’s Thirty-sixth infan- try, Colonel VVallace’s Thirty-seventh in- fantry and the Eleventh cavalry, corn- manded by Colonel Lockett. Colonel Moore of the Twenty-second regiment was in charge of the recruits. A’guinaldo, according to report brought to Manila yesterday by a Dominican friar from the north, has issued orders to the Filipino soldiers in the northern prov- i:;:es to return to their towns and to re- sume farming. This story lacks confirmation, but the rumor may be in accordance with Agui- naldo’s policy of keeping the country as productive as possible by using his men in alternative shifts on the farms and under arms. The Filipinos in the inland towns have Béen holding festivities to celebrate their victories over Spain during the revolution of 1896. This doubtless furnishes a par- tial explanation for their aggressiveness during the last few days. At Calamba and Imus they repeatedly assaulted the Americans until they were finally dis- persed, and they have been active at oth- er points. In one .case they had two old cannon masked in bushes throwing shells forward Calamba, but only a few ex- ploded. Lag . '* Elie American artillery in the final en- Ransom t ere sent more than 50 shells among. gh‘ec ‘pinos. The archbishop of Manila notified Gen- eral Otis that there was a plot on foot to burn the residences of the governor gen- tE‘l‘al and the archbishop, together with several government buildings and banks, but the plot failed to materialize, possi- bly. because of a display of force. Dagupan, San Fernando, in the prov— inee of Union, and Delioiniot, which are under the guns of the United States Warships, are supposed to be evacuated. Iti'is; alleged that the evacuation order calls upon the male inhabitants to be or- derly in case of the arrival of the Ameri- can troops and expresses the hope that the Americans will protect the towns. 1319': *' —-—-—-—-—' 2‘ "‘ Nine W'urships For Manila.

Sanguily and the three other young Cubans who were arrested for hauling down the Spanish flags from the prem- ises of the Commercial fire brigade and the Spanish Clerks’ club during the re- cent festival have been released. They had all been put under cash bail in a small amount to keep the peace, and all were able to furnish this, but they desir- ed tO'pose as martyrs in the cause of Cuban liberty. It had been threatened that they would be put to work on the rock pile, but the civil authorities inter- fered, and a conference between them and Captain William I. Pitcher, presi— dent of the Havana police court, resulted in the release of the men, who will, how- ever, be kept under police surveillance. In discharging them from custody Magis- trate Pitcher administered to them a stinging rebuke, declaring that they were “only sidewalk loafers, who represented nothing and did harm in the eyes of the public to their entire race’ A peculiar insect, supposed to be a spe- cies of locust, is destroying the small crop in the province of Pinar del Bio. The governor of Pinar del Rio has ask- ed permission to bury the remains of 214 Cubans who were killed in that province during the war. The bodies of these Cu- bans have been collected ready for inter- ment. BASEBALL SCORES. Results of Yesterday’s Games In the National League.
