NO BATTLE, IT IS THOUGHT.
Probably Spanish Canard Abont
Dewey-The Insurgents 'Fleet."


Washington. Oct 2O.-The sensational
Spanish report of naval battle between
Admiral Dewey's vessels and the inslIr-
gent navy in the Philippines is received
with absolute increduIity in both the
Navy and War Departments. If there
has been any recent action, Admiral
Dewey has failed to mention it. and
neither General Otis nor United States
Consul Wildman have regarded it us
worthy of notice.
1t is believed at the Navy Department
that the Spanish authorities refer to the
seizure of the little steamer Abby by
the McCulloch on September Odd last.
The steamer was of American register.
though formerly known as the Pasig it
was reported to Admiral Dewey that
she was bringing arms and supplies of
war to the insurgents. He sent the
McCulloch to stop this movement, but
when the cutter founu the Abby III Ba-
tanZas Bay the latter vessel had landed
her cargo of arms, and the insurgents
refused to give them up. Thereupon
the Abby was seized and taken by the
McCulloch to Manila. This affair could
not be dignified with the name of Il
naval engagement. and Admiral Dewey
reporting J0p SEIZURE To the navy Dt-
partment made little of it.
WHY DONS MAKE MUCH OF IT.
1t is Just possible that there have been
some similar incidents not deemed wor-
thy of report i'll the islands of Cebu or
Panay. as it has been reported that
some insurgent vessels have been carry
ING arms to spread the Instruction to
those islands and Dewey would have
repressed them. But the reports TO the
Navy Department show that it is absurd
to speak of an insurgent navy seriously,
for the entire force consists of a few
schooners, and one or two little coasting
steamers, all put together not being Il
match for the least of the vessels UNI
der Dewey's command. The explana-
ton of the Admirafs interference with
these vessels in their operations is Il
desire on his part to maintain the status
quo in the Philippines pending the con-
cluSion of the peace commissions work
in Paris. 1t is said there that it is not
surprising that the Spanish Cabinet is
trying to make much of any incident
that can be twisted into a demonstra-
ton of actual hostilities between the oc-
cupying american force i'll the Philip
pines and the insurgents. for that would
help sustain the contention they are
sure to put forward when the Philip
pines come under consideration before
the Paris commission that the United
States forces never have been able to
take possession of and hold territory
outside of Manila proper. Under the
rules of the international laws such
point would be entitled to serious con-
sideration in determining what dispo-
Sition should be made of territory

CoWLEs HUsTLEs FOR HIS JOB.
viii Try to Get Soldiers to Petition to
Be Kept in Service.

Col. Andy Cowles is still in Washing
ton fighting for his job as Lieutenant
Colonel of the Second North Carolina
regiment.
Perhaps he thinks he can fill the posi-
ton better if he is given another
chance; or is it that he wants to get back
that $3.50 paid for the watch he pre-
scented to Governor Russell, the day the
Second regiment was reviewed here, ana
the Colonel was trying to arrange a deal
whereby he could become Lieutenant
Colonel of the First regiment!
At any rate he is in Washington DONG
all in his power to keep the men OF the
Second regiment in service. Inc frult
of his efforts is a communication re-
ceived here yesterday saying that IL
100 men in the regiment would sign a
petition to be retained in the service 1t
would be done.
Some of the officers think that number
can be obtained The men say not The
men ought to know.
To further insure the success Of his
plans the Colonel might now again ask
that the First regiment be mustered out,
since he can't get a place in it.

Washington, d. c., October 20.-The
War Department to-day posted the fol-

Under date of yesterday, General Otis

troubles about the same. We have many

General Otis cabled considerably more
than the above, but the Department does
not deem it advisable to make the other
portions of the dispatch public, because
of it's bearing upon the peace negotia-
tions. 1t contains suggestions made by
General Otis regarding the disposition Of
the Philippines and also information
about the insurgents.
