WAR IN PHILIPPINES.

Rebels Doing Very Well Though
Poorly Armed.
MANILA Phillippines) via Hongkong,
Dec. 2.-Col Marina's column defeated
the rebels on Saturday at San Mateo, a
town ten miles northwest of Manila, the
rebels leaving twenty-seven dead on the
field. Returning TO his quarters for the
night, Col Marina was attacked by a
superior force, which. after several bay
onet charges, fed, leaving over eighty of
their number dead. The Spanish losses
were small.
The seaport of Moron, in the province
in Bataan, has fallen into the hands of
the rebels, who have captured two Span
fsh priests and the Mayor. Gen. Rios
brigade has had some heavy fighting at
Balinag, town on the borders of the
province Of Bulacana and NUeva Eciga
which was held by a strong force of
rebels. The latter were driven out and
with great slaughter Three hundred and
fifty were buried by the Spaniards, who
lost only a few men. The rebels removed
their wounded from the field. The rebels
the Mauser rifles accounting for the
heavy mortality on the rebel side.
MADRID. Dec. 29.-Advices from Ma

Course of United States Towards

Course OF United States Towards
Steamer Three friends.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The author
ities Of the Treasury Department and the
Department Of Justice expect the prose-
cuuon Of the alleged fiiibustering steam
er Three Friends will be under section
52S2 Of the Revised Statutes. This will
be new method of prosecution. Hereto
fore the proceedings have been mainly
under section $3.50 covering expeditions.
Section 52S2 is directed against the arming
and mounting of guns on a vessel intend
ed to be used against friendly nation.
AS those on board the Three Friends
have given circumstantial detail as to the
mounting and firing of a HotchlIiss rapid
fire gun, ii is believed by the officials
that section $3.50 VIII apply to the case.
The proceedings against the vessel are
much more severe than in the case of
libel for fitting out an expedition. The
statute provides that on conviction the
vessel and all tackle, stores, etc, shall
be forfeited TO the United States. The
proceedings are in charge of District At
1orney Clark of Jacksonville, who is act
ing under general instructions and is not
reporting on the details of the case, al
though the general character of the pro-
cedure is known here The assistant col
lector of customs will turn the vessel
over to the legal officers of the Govern
ment on her arrival at Jacksonville, and
thereafter Mr.. Clark will have entire con-
troll of the prosecution.

Permission TO Be Given to Cuban
Planters

Permission 10 Be Given TO Cuban
Planters.
NEW YORK, Dec. ga World special
from Havana says: Permission to make
sugar will be given to the planters in the
western provinces of Cuba. This infor-
nation comes from a high official, who
is in a position to know He said eX-
plicitly, however, that his statement is
not official, because he has no authority
to give out such news as official. The
condition of affairs now is such as to re-
move the objection of allowing planters
to grind cane.
Edward Atkins, the proprietor of the
great Soledad plantation, near Glen
fuegos is particularly anxious to make
sugar, as also is the manager of the es-
tate of Welch Bros, of Al Wall street,
New York Information that grinding
will be permitted was sent to Mr.. Atkins
today.

Resolutions Pas d Against Present
OVertaxatiop.


LIMERICK, Dec. 29.-Lord Dunraven
presided today at a meeting here of all
classes at which a resolution similar to
the one agreed upon at the Mansion
House Dublin) meeting OF yesterday was
adopted, calling upon the Government
TO remedy the financial injustice done to
Ireland by overtaXation.
Bishop O'Dwyer, who was the chief
speaker, eXhorted Irishmen to stand to-
gether in the spirit of the words of Lord
Castledown, uttered at Cork on Decem-
Der Sd last when he denounced the OBJ
stinacy of the British Treasury officials
in refusing TO grant the grievance of the
Irish in respect to taxation.
Lord CastledOwn, upon that occasion,
said he hoped that history might not be
repeated and the people of Cork not fol-
low the example of the people of Bos-
ton IN l173, when they threw a cargo of
tea into the harhor as a protest against
unjust taxation.

Kind hearts were dwelling there,
And bairnies fu' O. glee.
Scotch Song.
Pull down the old house of the Mission
Fathers,
Nay, it shall not be so,
Many a precious memory round it
gathers
OF the days of long ago.
Oh! children of the loved ones, passed
the portals
Into the silent land;
Children of dear ones, who have Joined
immortals
In the heavenly band.
Hear ye, not voices from the past i'm
plore you,
To stay the vandal hand
The sad, sweet voices that have gone
before you,
Into the promised land?

Oh! sons and daughters, strong and

The dear old house that sheltered the
departed,
Out of the Spoilers net.
Oh! guard and keep it as a sacred
treasure
Bequeathed by loving hands,
Stay modern vandals, and let no man
measure
The lot wherever it stands.
Interest on some palatial mansion ris-
ing
Within the ancient bound;
In lust of luxury some scheme devils
ing
To raze it from the ground.
How thick the memories round the old
house cluster,
When its old timbers came,
How busy hands around the lot would
muster
To fit the ancient frame!
Watched with suspicion by the dusky
savage
The Fathers built apace,
In strength of God they felt assured
from ravage
Amongst an alien race.
The mothers out of chaos bringing
order
Upon foreign shore,
Mindful of home arranged the little
border
Of flowers around the door.
Full true it is, it was no lordly dwell
ing
Planted on virgin sod,
Yet oft its walls have echoed to the
telling
OF messages from God
The walls have listened to the child
ren's laughter
At early mornings chime,
And oft hath died away among the
rafters
The hymn at evening time.
Have you no memories of the noise and
clatter
Of sturdy boys at play!-
No memories of the girls guileless
chatter,
sOh! mother of today?
Its walls are hallowed by its consecra-
ton
To service of the Lord,
By those who brought unto an erring
nation
His message and His word.
Sons and daughters, let it be your
endeavor
To keep the house secure,
In memories of your fathers do not
sever
But let the ties endure!
You who remember when we met to-
gether
In the long by-past days,
Hear ye, this message blown from
purple heather:
Keep the old house always.
