treated him considerably. When they
reached Pittsbu1g, the necessary papers
were not at hand to commit the prison
er to Jail. The deputy would not take
him to a hotel, because he would have
to pay the bill out Of his own pocket.
So he took him to the marshal's Office
to pass the night there. The deputy
was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he
was. So the deputy handcuffed his pris-
oner to himself and lay down on the
floor beside the steam register. As soon
as the deputy was asleep the counter
feiter took his keys from his pocket,
unlocked the manacle and fastered the
loose end to the register. Then he took
the deputy g watch and what money he
had and departed

DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
Filipinos Fou hit Desperately At Taguig
but Were Repulsed.

but NNero Repulset.
MANILA, March 2O.-Some of the reb-
els recently expelled from Cavite and
the small towns in the vicinity of Pasig
combined forces and attacked COM
pany of the Washington volunteers at q
detached post at Taguig, about mile
and half southeast of Pasig.
General Wheaton Immediately rein
forced the Americans with two COM
panies each of the Washington and the
Oregon regiments. The post had held
the enemy in check and the fire of the
reinforcing companies repulsed them,
driving them across to an island formed
by the estuary. They were thus in
front of the Twenty-second regulars.
On discovering that they were en-
trapped the rebels fought desperately,
aided materially by the jungle and the
darkness, but they were completely
routed with heavy loss after two hours
fighting.
The Americans lost two killed and
twenty wounded, among the latter
Lieutenant Frank Jones.
Rebels Pursued for Miles.
General Wheaton determined to pun.
ish the natives aud at daybreak his
brigade started in the following order:
The Sixth artillery holding the ex-
tremc right, the Oregon volunteers
holding the center, the Washington
regiment keeping to the edge of the
~, two O, ,.o
occupying the right of the line which
swept the whole country along the lake
in southeasterly direction towards
General Ovenshine's position. The
line thus extending over two miles Of
country, rough and covered with thick
Jungle, advanced II miles. The enemy
fled, the last of them being seen about
$3.50 o'clock. At scarcely any time did
the Americans get within 1900 yards Of
them.
The troops are returning to Pasig ex-
hausted by the hard work under hot
sun. The Oregon regiment had ono
man killed and four wounded and tho
Twenty.seoond regulars one wounded.
According to the official reports no
fewer than 200 Filipinos were killed.
Filipino Soldiers Weakening.
General Otis says the American army
and gunboats now command the lake.
He estimated that property of insur-
gents valued at $500, 900 has been de-
stroyed, while quantities Of rice and
sugar and 400 tons of coal, which is
very valuable here, has been captured.
Many prisoners represent that the Fill
pino soldiers are weakening. In the
opinion of Americans, however, the
Filipino leaders will continue to pro-
woke fighting just as long as they can
retain their hold on their followers, be-
cause they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
The armed tugs La Guna de Bay and
Oeste have returned to San Pedro Ma
cati and reported the results of their
tour of the lake. On Friday morning
last they shelled the town of Moreng,
the rebels fleeing without making any
response to the fire. The expedition
then proceeded to Majayjay, where q
sugar mill and saw mill were destroyed.
On arriving at Santa Cruz it was found
that the enemy was strongly en-
trenched. A few shells caused an exc
dus of the citizens, but not of the
enemy's troops. The Americans did
not attempt landing.
