SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, February H.
A private letter from the Caroline
Islands gives an account of further
fighting between the natives and Span
iards, in which the latter were worSted.
Last November the Spanish governor
sent an expedition consisting OF three
gunboatS and one transport against the
village of Metalamcr. The sailors and
troops landed, and after loss Of sixty
men made the natives retreat. The
Spaniards were reinforced. and six days
later attacked the natives. The latter
were behind barricade and were
armed with musketS and two small can
non. They were badly repulSed with a
loss of 100 men. 1t is expected that a
general uprising of the natives will oc-
eur, and the governor has diSpatced
ships to Manila for troops.

1t is expected that the Senate bill will
be- reported to the House tomorrow
from the Coinage Committee. A vote
on reporting the bill is expected at
least, and the understanding to-day
was that IL would be reported, as all
those whom II was thought necessary to
hear for or against the bill have been
given the opportunity to make state
mentS before the committee. Although
the bill may be reported to the
House, it is now believed that
nothing will be done with it at this ses-
sion. No silver legislation at tall Is like
ly TO be effected. The anti-free coinage
men talk very confidently TO this effect
and they believe they are now in po-
sition where they can refuse to even
listen to offers Of compromise which
the free coinage men seem disposed 10
accept.
An official who is in position to know
the true status OF affairs, said to-day;
The silver men wanted everything

when ii was made TO them by Secretary
Window; they wanted all or nothing.
Things are now in such shape that they

Chilian Insurgents Advancing ON tho
Capital
PARIS. February 1.-THE GdulOis TO-
day publishes dispatch from Buenos
Ayres which announces that the Chill
ian Government troops have been de-
featcd at Coquimbo and QuilOta.
The same dispatch states that the in
surgent forces are rapidly increasing in
numbers and that they are advancing
upon the capital, Santiago de Chilli.
The Gduiois dispatch adds that only
few towns remain loyal to the Govern
ment. The destruction of railways by
the inSurgent forces hampers the move
ments OF the Cover ment troops. Presi-
dent Balmaceda is well supported in
the capital, and is said to be hopeful OF
being able to repel the rebels. 1t is
feared that the effect Of the rebellion
will be disastrous to the finances and
commerce of the country.
During the course of battle fought
at Tarapaca, l45 miles southwest OF lilo,
the mines at Tarapaca were set on fire,
and afterwards Hooded in the attempt TO
eXtinguish the flames. The German
miners who were employed there fled to
the interior. Tarapaca is only 10 miles
from the mouth Of 4 river opening into
Pacific Ocean. so il is inferred that the
destruction Of property there was the
work of Il landing party. which came
ashore from one of the insurgent war
vessels.

REPUBLICAN EFFORT

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February L.
Among the bills which the Republicans
are very anxious 10 get through the
House before the end Of the session Is one
known as the Circuit Court bill, in which
West Virginia Republicans are specially
interested. for the reason that Mr.. w. i.
Hubbard, Of Wheeling, would like
to be- one of the new judges which Pres
ident Harrison will have to appoint ii
the measure becomes \ law.
The hill is intended to relieve the
United States Supreme Court OF some
Of the work which now falls upon IL and
congests its docket. The Democrats
OF the House are entirely willing 10
grant the Supreme Court this needed
relief, but there are other features of
the bill to which they strongly OBJ
iect. Moreover, they are not anxious
to give such bitter and narrow parti-
san as Harrison has shown himself to
be, an opportunity TO appoint a lot OF
new judges of his own stripe. SO the
bill is not likely to pass unless 1t Is put
in better shape. OF course If the Re-
publicans succeed in getting a quorum
of their own here, as they are now
making a desperate effort To do. they
may be able TO pass the bill.

The Needha Eight.

MINNEAPoIIs, MINI, February IT,
There is some question at this writing
where the Needham-Ryan fight will
take place. Needham's right hand is
in bad shape. He insists on wearing
strips of plaster which materially
strengthened his chance Of winning the
contest. This wearing of plaSters i
entirely at variance with the Marquis
OF Queensbcrry rules, which govern the
fight. There have been numerous prcc-
cdents in the matter at issue, the most
notable Of late seem two years back
when Jack McAuliilc entered the ring
at North ,Iudson and faced Rilly
Myer, of Strcator with his hands
plastercd. The referee al once ordered
the plaSters removed and they came OF,
DESPITE the romonstranceS of Billy Mad
den, of New York, McAuliffe'S trainer
and second. But 1t Is understood that
the Twin City Athletic Club, whose
boxing instructor is Danny Needham,
sustainS their man in wearing the pro-
hibited plasterS, while the Chicago
hackers of Ryan demand their re-
moval and say the fight shall not take
place with plastercd hands. Ryan and
Needham are in fine condition and iit
to fight for their lives. There is pos
sibility, however, that the matter may
be bridged over.

OFFICIAL MOURNING.
A Costly Affair, and at the Same Time
Does Not Increase Respect for the
Worthy Dead.
SpeeiaI T.Leqam % Me Reqister.

Special telegram 10 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
death within month of four distin-
guished men who had held high civil
or military Office under the government,
for each of whom a thirty-day period Of
official mourning has been proclaimed,
once more calls attention to this whole
absurd system Of paying honor TO the
noted dead. The system Of official
mourning rs now practced is both cum
brous aud expensive. II Is the custom
when a man dies who has ever, for no
matter how short a period, held Office
as the head Of department OF the
government, such as Secrctary Of the
Treasury ar Postmaster General, 10
close that department on the day OF the
funeral. giving the employees holiday
or half holiday, and To odrape the depart
ment building in Grape for thirty days.
OF course no one would complain at
showing ali possible marks OF respect 10
the memory OF such men as General
Sherman and Admiral Porter, but every
one naturally asks how does the clos
ing OF department buildings and cover
ing their columns and porucoes with
Grape that sheds its color with the rain,
staining the ediiices. confer any par
ticular honor on the mighty dead or
tend To increase the respect in which
they are held? Owing TO four re-
cent deaths there are four de-
partment buildings in Washington now
draped in SOmber black. The treasury
building has borne the emhlems OF
mourning since the death of Secretary
Window aud il will remain swathed in
black for two weeks longer. The big
Interior Department building has been
draped out of respect To the memory OF
the late Hon. A. II. II. Stuart, OF 'Nir-
gina, who was Secretary Of the Inter
ior under President FILLMORE forty years
ago. As oommander-in-chief OF the
navy. Admiral Porter was entitled at
his death TO the honor OF having the
navy department draped for him, and the
war department was placed in black to
honor the memory of Gen. Sherman, the
retired ommander-in-chief of the army.
A low estimate OF the cost Of this drap-
ing is $500 for each building, and the
Grape after its thirty days exposure
can never be us ed second time. But
the closing of the departments on the
day of the funeral is much more Seri-
ouS and costly matter. The Treasury
and Interior departments have about
,, 800 clerks whose daily wages average
at least S2.2j each. From these figures
it will he readily seen that the present
system OF Official mourning is very eX-
pensivo besides causing much delay in
the dispatch of the governments busi-
ness.

PIrrSEU Re, February l1.-ThrcatS of
blowing no the historic stone bridge of
the Pennsylvania railroad over the

beeG made.
Passengers on the Pennsylvania who
arrived in the city this morning say
JohnStown people are desperate. Waters
Oi the rivers have risen almost 10 the

The people say that with the bridge and
eastern approach % 10, the water course
is not sufficient % permit a volume of
water such as now flows 10 ESCAPE and
10 dams up in consequence. Hence the
threats OF destruction. This intelli-
geuce has reached official ears OF the
company. and there are now on guard
at or near the bridge numbers Of police
and construction hands. The officials
OF the company DO not apprehend that
any such attempt will be- made, but
they have deemed il advisable to take
the precautions mentioned.
AT a point east Of Conemaugh and
west of South Fork station, short dis
tance east OF bridge No. 8, two tracks
have been weakened by waShOutS for a
distance of about 400 feet, which leaves
but one track available at that point.
lu consequence traffic is considerably
delayed. At JohnStown, also, the track
next the hillside for "a short distance Is
useless because OF slides aud the unsafe
