THE DAYS FIGHTING.

Manila, April 26, 6:10 D. m.-AguiE aldo's army today is defending Ca1um- pit. energetically, which is said to ln- dtcate that the rebels are finally max ing a last stand, which the Americans expected them to make at Malolos For the first time the FilipInos are employing artillery. They brought two guns into action in the trenches today before Calumpit. The fighting was resumed at o'clock thi morning During the night the engineers re- paired the Bagbag bridge, thus en- abTing our troops to cross the river
 General Wheaton's brigade advanced in extended order, with the Kansas regiment to the west of the railroad and the Montana regiment to the cas-. On the opposite banks were fortified trenches in which a few American sol diers would have been able to defy thousands, so strongly were they con- structed. The Americans found the trenches on the south bank of the river deserted, which furnished them with cover from which they could pick off the Filipinos whenever one of them showed his head.
 When the rebels began firing, two puffs of smoke simultaneously from the trenches on each side of the rail- road track showed that they wers using cannon, which was a genuine surprise to the Americans. The shells burst close to General Wheaton's staff, but it seemed that the F'ilipinos failed to master the machinery Of modern shells, as they were unable 70 get the right ranges.
 Young's Utah battery was ordered into position in the center of the Kan sas regiment to silence the rebel guns, and at Il o'clock rapid-fire guns had been hurried across the river and came into line. At noon the rebels were still pouring a heavy fire in the direction of the Americans, who re- turned 1t spiritedIy. Two Americans were killed and seven were wounded At about this time General Hale's brl- gade was advancing east of the line, apparently to cross the river and at tack the rebel trenches in the flank as did the Americans yesterday.
 General Lawton is meeting with tke greatest obstacles in the charactec of the country. His troops have only had few skirmishes thus far, resulting in five or six men being wounded, but he has been forced to put men at work building roads and the transport ser vice is giving much trouble, the bull locks dying of heat and exhaustion and Chinamen having to be employed in pulling some of the carts.

WITHOUT AUTHORITY IN LAW.
The Taking of Santiago Morphy Bacl
 to Mexico.

Washington, April 26.-The state depar tnent has noticed with surprise the story that Santiago Morphy. who is charged with embedding Mexican national bank funds has been carried from Kansas City over to Mexico, where he is now reported to be in jail This is said to be entirely with out legal authority, unless Morphy consented to return without extradi- tion papers, and it is not unlikely that, as the case would, in it's present light, appear to be- akin to Kidnapping, the United States may feel called upon to inquire into it. The rat iffcation of the extradition treaty by the Mexican senate, containing, as it does, retroactive clause, may make it impossible fer Morphy to retain his liberty even if he returned to the United States, but the principle at stake is believed to warrant an examination in this case.

 the fact that the army beef inquiry beard has completed its labors, spec uIation has started in military circles as to the probable assignments of the members of that beard not attached to regular stations. Colonel Gillespie. corps of engineers, will undoubtedly resume his duties as president of tho Mississippi commission and as a mem Der of the board of engineers consid- ering the subject of harbor lines ot New York harbor, with headquarte ters at New York city. Colonel George R. Davis, the recorder of the board, will 1 also prCbably resume his duties as professor of law at the military acad- emy. Brigadier General George w. Davis, member of the court, has been selected as military governor of Porto Rico, to succeed General Henry, who has been relieved, at his own request, on account eff i'll health. General Davis will proceed to San Juan de Porto Rico as soon as relieved iron, further attenGance upon the beet board
 
 F. Wade, the president of the court, ds the only member of the court not pro- vided for. General Wade is a briga- dier general in the regular army, and major general of volunteers. ae was president of the Cuban evacuation commission and was subsequently president of the court mar ioI xxyI,li Eagan. It is known that the president and the secretary of war desire to give him as desirable an assignment as possible. but what it will be is not yet known. His rank entities him to the command at least of military de- partment. There are no vacancies of that chaacter, however, at present. There is a possibility that he may be assigned to the command of the divis- ion of Cuba, to succeed Major General Brooke, whose age and physical con- iditicn, it is said, will not warrant a prolonged sojouTn in the fever-strick, en district Of Cuba. It is not likely, however, that General Brooke will be relieved unless he personally requests it, as the administration is not dispoed to interfere with his management of affairs in Cuba at this time.
 Major Gener William R. Shafter will retire for age in October, His re- tirement will vacate the command of the department of California. Ac- cording to the gossips, General Brooke will be assigned to that command in case he finds lit imprUdent to remain in Cuba during the coming summer. In that event General Wade is regards ed as his most likely successor as gov ernor general of CIgba In case, how ever, that it is not deemed desirable to make any change in the office Of governor general of Cuba, it is more than probable that General Wade will succeed General Shafter in com mand of the department of California. These changes are purely speculative. however, and may be rendered inn possible by the progress of events in the next few months. Inasmuch as General Miles will retire for age in August, 1903, and General Wade does not retire until April, 1907, the are all in favor of the latter officer eventually becoming the com general of the army.
