MADRID, Oct. -).-The Cabinet has
decided to forward 70 the Spanish
Peace Commissioner at Paris an Off
'cial dispatch received yesterday from
Manila reporting an engagement be-
tween the American and insurgent
warships, growing out the refusal OF
Admiral Dewey to allow the insurgents
TO fly their flag from their ships.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.--As far as
.cou.a be ascertained, no information
regarding the reported naval engage
ment has been received at the Navy
apartment, nor has General Otis, COM
manGlng the United States troops at
Manila, made any reference to IL in
any communication he may have made
to the War Department.
lne dispatch created considerable in
terest here. Recently the newspapers
contained statement that Admiral
Dewey had dispatched one or two of
his ships to another portion OF the
Philippine group on a mission of some
Importance, and the suggestion is made
unofiicially that 1t may have been these
vessels which have been engaged in
combat with the insurgents.
The news startled the city. Secre-
tary Long had retired and the hotel
clerk declined to disturb him. but Cap
tain Crowninshield of the Bureau of
Navigation said he had received no in

insurgents. A land battle may be pre-
Icipitated by the attitude Of Aguinaldo's
Followers.
General otis forces now occupy Ma
Mia and its suburbs, but the insur-
gents, to the number of $1,000, are in
close proximity to the Americans, and
the Philippines may clash with them
to revenge the killing OF some OF their
number.

,OF FlELO LABOR
Inspector Returns From
Maui and Hawaii.
Manchurians Satisfied Cause OF
observation-disclosures Now Co
Ing Into Coffee.

Wray Taylor, who went forth ten
days ago on tour OF inspection for
the Bureau OF immigration. has re-
turned from Maui and Hawaii and will
in few days make formal report.
Mr.. Taylor first called at Wailuku.
where the recently arrived Manchur-
ians have been giving trouble. A COM
plete account OF this affair has been
given by the Advertiser. After work
Ing one day on the road the men all
asked that they be allowed to return
to the cane fields and they were taken
hack at once to fill their contracts.
Everything was explained to them in
their own language by the Interpreter
who accompanied Mr.. Taylor. When
the Manchurians came to know the
actual facts they were well satisfied.
They have made the promise that they
will give no further trouble.
At Spreckelsville, Mr.. Taylor lnves-
tigated to learn the cause OF so many
desertions from the Chinese compa-
nies. All the difficulty that exists Is
amongst the Chinese themselves and
the bottom facts are still lacking.
Spreckelsvllle will turn out over $1,000
tons OF sugar this campaign.
On Hawaii. Mr.. Taylor visited no
less than eight plantations and says
that the cane was looking well every
where. Both japanese and Chinese on
Hawaii have been deserting contract
plantation service to go to the Olaa,
Puma and other coffee fields. This is
a simple matter. The coffee planters
pay about $3.50 a month more for
wages than is called for in the planta-
tion contracts. After each pay day
number of men disappear from the
sugar estates. At the next meeting OF
the Board OF immigration some course
OF acton will be determined upon. The
deserters are liable to arrest and pros
ecution by the Government. Just what
will be done cannot be said till the
report Is fully considered.
The number OF Chinese in the coffee
districts Is now increasing rapidly.
For long time the Chinese have stood
back from coffee, leaving 1t to the
Americans, Portuguese and Japanese.
Now the Chinese are keen to either
work for wages, on shares or inde-
pendently in the coffee fields
There Is a scarcity Of labor on a
number of sugar estates. Many more
men are desired by the new Molokai
enterprise.
