Major General Otis Sends American Troops to Occupy Strategic Positions in the Suburbs. BY SOL N. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. SHERIDAN. Copyrighted, 1888, by James Gordon Bennett. MANILA, Sept. 10.—Persistent ru- mors are in circulation that the idea of attacking the city is gaining strength among the rebels, and it is as- serted that some of the leaders are boldly urging such a plan. Owing to these reports . General Otis has been taking precautions to prevent the pos- sibility of such a rising. He.has dis- | patched strong detachments of Ameri- can troops to occupy tions in the suburbs. The work of disarming the Filipinos is being carried on with even greater energy than before in view of new de- velopments. I do not think, however, that any attack by Filipinos is prob- able. Such a course at this time, when the fate of the Philippines will soon be a subject of "discussion at the Paris conference, would be sulcidal. Any at- tack the rebels could make with the forces they could muster now would strategic posi- | great expense protest to the American representa- tives, Such a protest will meet with little consideration, however, in view of m_e:y precedents which history fur- nishes. The authorities appreclate, however, the splendid position this Government | occupies as the result of the conquest | of the Philippines. Had troops en- | tered Manila by courtesy of the pro- vision of the peace protocol Spain | could make a plea for lighter condi- | tions than those which it is proposed to demand. However, while the demand of the American Commissioners will at first require the cession of the island of Luzon to the United States, they may finally be reduced to the city and bay of Manila, but equal trade advantages | with Spain in the islands will be de- manded, and this, it is thought by the President, will place this vernment in a more satisfactory position would be the case if it were to occupy the islands and be compelled to go to to develop them and than | Bank, to be receiver of the Los Angeles Clty Water Company pending decision in the litigation now under way between the company and the city.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.—The Dally Times of this city will to-morrow, under the heading, “An Initial Mistake,” print the following editorial: The best and most loyal friends of Henry T. Gage, Republican nominee for Governor, note with pained surprise that he has entered the camp of the enemy to select his political lieutenants from Los Angeles, In appointing W. F. X. Parker, a particularly offensive “‘push’ politician, and H. Z. Osborne, whose Southern Pa- cific record is notorious, as members of the executiye committee of the Republi- can State Central Committee. The people of Southern California re- member _or it happened not so long ago that they have been enabled to forget it) that W. F. Parker, then clerk of the Mayor of Los Angeles, railroaded through the City Council a resolution in favor of Mr. Huntington's private harbor at Santa Monica and caused It to be telegraphed to Washington. And they do not forget that it was in the office of the Evening EXx- press, then edited and managed by H. Z. Osborne, that certain bogus petitions were prepared and sent to Washington in the interest of the private enterprise of Mr. Huntington in opposition to the will ot the people of this section and in contra- vention of the public interests of the na- tion. Remembering these things, the friends and admirers of Mr. Gage cannot but wonder how it is that the Republican nominee for Governor should have forgot- ten them, and why he should have gone out of his way to exalt as his campaign managers two men, at least, who are known to be subservient tools and active allies of the Southern Pacific Company of Kentuck It would ‘surely have been possible to have found among the thousands of vo- | | { | | ters in Los Angeles County two Repub- licans, other than Parker and Osborne, in whem the gubernatorial nominee might have reposed his confidence, without giv- ing a sli\g in the face to the mass of the people who know these two worthies for what they really are — remnants of that Lindleyism in Los An- geles which the people some time ago crushed out, as they fondly hoped, for all time, but which by this recognition of these two Lindley henchmen has been galvanized into a semblance of life for the time being. As is well known, Osborne and Parker were cheek by jowl with Her- vey Lindley while the latter was ‘“‘doing polities” in Los Angeles, and each of them was ever ready to do the bidding of that small boss and his greater boss, the Southern Pacific Company.

They’re the kind that have snap, life, vim—the niceties of fine tailoring, the ad- vanced and modern ideas of modern tailoring. These areyours, and yow’ll never look like a cheap man if Raphael’s dress yow. She’ll admire yow. So will he.

The police here believe the murder 1s a plot of anarchists, and that the as- sassin is Luccesi, who is wanted by the Boulogne police as a dangerous anarch- ist. He was implicated in the recent troubles at Milan, after which he fled to Zurich. While at Zurich Luccesi was present at a meeting of Italian an- archists, when seven were selected, in- cluding Luccesi, to assassinate the principal European sovereigns, includ- ing the King of Italy. A French detective who was present communicated the information to the i Government, and as a result Humbert was carefully guarded, M. Faure. ut a week ago another meeting of the anarchists was held at Zurich and those who had been selected at the previous meeting were accused of cow- ardice. Thereupon Luccesi said: b will show that I am no coward. I will kill some one.” The following day he left Zurich and went to Basle. THIRTY KLONDIKERS BACK WITH FORTUNES VICTORIA, B.

Aguinaldo, despite his efforts to for- tify the position he has assumed as “dictator,” is beyond doubt losing con- trol over the lawless spirits among the natives. The residents of Manila are not at all alarmed over the intentions of the rebels. The administration of General Merritt prior to his departure for Paris and the course taken by General Otis since he has assumed command have convinced the inhabitants of Manila that they can live in complete security under the protection of the Americans. OTIS HAS SUFFICIENT TROOPS FOR HIS NEEDS War Department Will Execute Its Plan to Send a Large Garri- son to Honolulu. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Further advices from Major General Otis shdwing that he is able with his present force to cope with Aguinaldo and his forces in case of emergency has convinced the authorities that there is no present need of sending reinforce- ments. A dispatch was sent by the War Department to-day to the Gov- ernor of a Northern State explaining that in view of present advices there is no need of the dispatch of additional troops to Manila. The department, however, has deter- mined to be prepared, and, therefore, will execute its plan of stationing a strong body of troops at Honolulu. A clerk of the department will ac- company the commission as disbursing agent, and a number of stenographers and translators in the employ of the State Department will be assigned to duty with the commission. Neither the Ctate Department nor the French embassy had any information to-day bearing on the report that the Madrid Government had directed the French embassy to make a protest to the State Department at the action of the military forces in capturing Manila after an armistice had been declared. It 4s presumed that the report grew out of the intention of the Spanish Govern- ment to instruct its representatives on the Peace Commission to submit such preserve peace. - GENERAL OTIS CHECKS NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—A Sun spe- cial from Manila says: The Spanish conflict, telling the Filipinos that the Americans intend to return the islands to Spain. Many Filipinos believe and think the Americans intend to re-es- tablish Spanish power. There has been much kidnaping, robberies, assaults, etc. The perpetrators generally were | insurgents in uniform.

A Filipino councilor close to Agui- naldo informed your correspondent that the insurgents would insist upon re- ceiving assurance of recognition even at the cost of a conflict with Americans. The uselessness of such a course beigg explained to him, he repiied: ‘“We can only die.” Aguinaldo himself sald to your cor- respondent yesterday: ‘‘When the re- bellion started independence was the gole idea of the Filipinos. Since the Americans have been forced to inter- fere the Filipinos hope to gain some reward from Americans for their sac- rifices of blood, life and treasure. They live for the recognition of their lib- erty.” This is the first public admission from Aguinaldo that the Filipinos would be satisfied with anything less than absolute independence.

CONFLAGRATION RAGING IN THE CAPITAL CITY| SACRAMENTO, Sept. 11.—Fire broke out at 2 o'clock this morning in the rear of Schad Bros.’ llvery stable on K street, | between Fifth and Sixth. It rapidly | spread to W. S. Frazer's branch lumber vard, and at this hour (2:30 o'clock) the stable, lumber yard and several adjoining dwellings are burning fiercely. The first alarm was followed by a gen- eral alarm and soon the clty’s entire fire department was fighting the flames. The scene of the fire is one of the busi- ness blocks, and the conflagration is hard to fight. At this hour the guests of the Berkshire lodging house, whence this message is be- ing sent by telephone, are packing thelr effects preparatory to fleeing before the advance of the flames, which threaten to reach the building unless they are soon checked. Many of the horses in Schad Bros.’ sta- ble, which was an expensive affair, have been incinerated. The loss, if the blaze | could be checked where it is now, would | exceed $15,000, and the indications are it | will be several times that amount before | the flames are got under control. —————— STATE FAIR'S SUCOCESS. Attendance at the Pavilion Is In- creasing Steadily. SACRAMENTO, Sep;. 10.—The last night of the first week of the State Fair witnessed great improvement in the at- tendance at the pavilion. The vaudeville features are variously regarded, some holding that they add greatly to the in- concentrating the people in _one end of | the hall, somewhat to the detriment of the exhibitors elsewhere in the building. However, this objection doubtless will not be urged next week, when the at- | tendance will be so large as to insure more even distribution throughout the | building.
