MANILA, Philippines — Police hurled tear gas yesterday to disperse 2,000 leftists demonstrating against Vice President Dan Quayle and U.S. military bases here.
President Corazon Aquino accepted a U.S. offer to discuss the future of the bases.
Qauley called the ambush-slayings of two U. S. civilians Tuesday cowardly murders, and he said that most Filipinos wanted the bases to remain.

USAIR REJECTS REPORT: USAir and federal investigators yesterday dismissed a report that the pilots of the jetliner that skidded into New York's East River last week had been drinking for five hours before entering the cocktail
The cockpit crew had only about two hours between the time they arrived at LaGuardia Airport on Sept. 20 and the time they reported to the gate for the ill-fated flight, said David Shipley, a USAir spokesman in Arlington, Va.

Drug and alcohol tests on the pilot and co-pilot were negative, but the urine samples were taken 48 hours after the accident, making them virtually useless for alcohol testing.
Two passengers were killed after the Boeing 737 aborted takeoff and skidded into the water.
Soviet SECRETTS TOLD: The Soviets ended decades of secrecy yesterday by opening Plesetsk Space Center, the world's busiest space-port, to foreign journalists. They also revealed one of the worst disasters of the space age: the 1980 explosion of a Vostok rocket that killed 50 people.
Moscow-based correspondents were invited to the center, set among birch forests and lakes 530 miles north of the Soviet capital, to observe back-to-back launches of a Soviet Molnyia television satellite and an Eastern Bloc research probe designed to reveal secrets of the ionosphere.
The officially sanctioned trip to the space-port in northwestern Russia — whose existence was acknowledged by the Soviets only five years ago — is further proof of the increased candor in Soviet society and their space industry's pursuit of foreign clients and funds.
BUSH UNFAZED: President Bush said yesterday that he wouldn't be "deterred by rumors" that Colombian drug lords had made threats against his five children, but he confirmed that security had been increased for his family.
"I have confidence in the Secret Service and their ability to do their job," Bush told a group of reporters in the Oval Office.
The president was skeptical of a published report that drug lords had threatened to kidnap one of his
children if U.S. and Colombian governments did not grant them amnesty. Bush has pledged an alliance against Colombia drug traffickers.
The story, in yesterday's editions of Newsday, quoted unidentified Washington, D.C., intelligence sources.
However, Bush said that intelligence officials never mentioned such a threat to him. He said that he had a feeling that the matter was of enough interest to him that it would have been brought to his attention.
CHENEY WARNING: Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, releasing the Pentagon's annual assessment of Soviet military might, said yesterday that Congress should not impose spending cuts in "in anticipation of a kinder, gentler Soviet Union."
The secretary warned that the Soviet Union continued to modernize its armed forces and would remain the world's largest military power even if Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev made good on his promised cutbacks and pledges for reform.
