WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Information
having reached the internal revenue bu-
reau that certain express companies were
shipping packages of money without af-
fixing revenue stamp thereto, the COM
missioner has made a ruling that money
shall be regarded as goods for the pur-
poses of the act, and, therefore, stamp
must be affixed to the bill of lading or
other evidence of receipt given therefor.
The ruling heretofore made that leach
bundle of newspapers having different
destination should have a different bill of
lading and be stamped" is modified in view
OF opinions of senators and members of
congress that such was not the intention
of the law. Therefore, when the tax OF
cent is paid on the general bundle, each
package in the general bundle. the COM
missioner holds. which is taken therefrom
and delivered at intermediate points. does
not require a separate receipt and stamp.

the magazine. The insurgents showered
large and small shots with such precision
| that the garrison believed the whole Amer

| resolved to cease fighting the moment the
Americans began, but the insurgents have
subsided and the fort has been reinforced
from 4 barracks.
There has been little fighting in other
directions. The total Spanish losses arc
probably 100. but many houses have been
seriously damaged.
On Monday evening there was a furious
fusiade every direction. Telephone in
quiries were sent out from headquarters
TO various outposts. No answer was re-
ceived from El Paco and accordingly a
squad of horsemen hastened thither In the
darkness and storm the sentries fired and
wounded two. Probably in the panic they
imagined that the horsemen were Ameri-

A few such nights would drive the
Spaniards inside the citadel and then there
would be the ghastly prospect of prolonged
devastation and a slaughter with the in
evitable destruction of the town and its
inhabitants, unless the Americans hastened
to close in.
On Sunday 1,50O houses at Tondo were
