Four explosive bombs, a few firearms and 500 rounds of ammunition were discovered in a house in the center of Manilayesterday morning while the police were seeking Recarte, the insrrgent leader, who was said to have come to Manila in the j hope of effecting an outbreak by taking tak-ing ad vantage of the mobilization of I the American troops at General Law- ton's fuueral. The populace, it is thought, had been prepared for the attempt by a rumor circulated widely among the natives that Aguilaldo was in Manila and would possibly lead the outbreak. The American authorities having been advised ad-vised of what was brewing, prepared for all contingencies. Captain Morrison, who commands the troops in the most turbulent district dis-trict of this city, says he does not believe be-lieve an act ual uprising will ever occur, as the natives lack the resolution to take the first steps in a movement that would entail fighting, at close quarters with the American troops. |
