Most of the British Indies have now taken refuge upon the ships in the harbour, but the men still stick to the town and things go on very much as usual. On Monday night the rebels had come so close in that the British Consul slept on board the Immortalife, as it was probable that the rebels might rush the town at any moment, and the outlying houses were unsafs owing to the rebel fire, The same night a large fro was reen to the north of ibe Pasing River and it is belloved that the rebels fired the kerosene stores.
Food is undoubtedly scarce, but is not un- obtainable by any means, and it la sald that the Spaniards have a large alero of provisions in the old Citadel, where they intend holding out an long as possible should the rebels or Americnos attempt to carry the town. Potatoes and a few other articles had given oni completely, but all the same a fairly good tiffia was obtainable at the Club,
The Americans were of opinion that the toww could not hold out for another three days after the Zinner's depepartore, but the Spaniards were confident of holding the place.
The rebels claim to have captured two thous and Spanish troops including some five hundred officers since the arrival of the American «quadron.
The foreign warships in Manila were the German cruisers Ivane, Kattarin Augusta and Cormoran, the French cruiser Brutz, the Japanese croiser Matsushima, the British cruise: Immortalifs, and the gunboat Rattler,
