 Manila, Feh- lz-The United States gunboat Petrel arrived late last even- ing with dispatches from Brig. Gen. M. P. Miller to Mai. Gen. Otis, an nouncing that Iloilo had been taken py the combined military and naval forces on Saturday morning. Gen. Miller, on receipt of his instructions from Manila, sent native commission CTS ashore from the United States transport St Paul. with a communica- tion for the rebel governor of lloilo. calling upon him to sur render within time stated, and warn ing him not to make demonstration in the interval The rebels immedi- ately moved their guns and prepared to defend their position. Thereupon the Petrel fired two warning guns. ! the rebels immediately opening fire upon her. The Petrel and the Balti- more then bonn mbarded the town, which the rebels, having set on Ere. immedi- ately evacuated. American troops were promptly landed and extin- guished the fires in all cases of for eign property, butnot before consid- erable damage had been done.

FAvORS A PACIFIC CABLE.
The President Sends n Message to Congress Urging the Necessity or One--Time
 Now OpportuDe.

Washington, Feb. II. The pres- dents message on the Pacific cable transmitted to congress yesterday is as follows:
 As a consequence of the ratification of the treaty of Paris by the senate of the United States and it's expected ratification by the Spanish government the United States will come into possession Of the Philippine islands on the further shores of the Pacific The Ha- waiian islands and Guam being United States territory, Gn1 forming convenient stopping places on the way across the sea, the necessity for speedy cable communication between the United States and all the Pacific islands has become imperative.
 Such communication should be established in such way to be wholly under the con- trol of the United States, whether in time of peace or war. At present the Philippines can be reached only by cables which pass through many foreign countries. and the Hawaiian is- lands and Guam can only be communicated with by steamers involving delays in each in stance of at least week The present condi- tions should not be allowed to continue for Il moment longer than is absolutely necessary.
 The time has now arrived when cable in the Pacific must extend as far as Manila. touching at the Hawaiian islands and Guam on the way. Two methods Of establishing this cable communication at once suggest them selves. First. construction and maintenance of such n cable at the expense of ths United States government and second. construction and maintenance of such a cable by private United States corporation under such a safe- guard as congress shall impose
 do not make any recommendation to con- gross as to which of these methods would be the more desirable. cable of the length of that proposed requires so much time for con- struction and laying that it is estimated that nt least two years must elapse after giving the order for the cable before tho entire system could be successfully laid and put in operation Further deep sea soundings must be taken west of the Hawaiian islands before the best route for the cable can be selected. Under these circumstances 1t becomes a paramount necessity that measures should be taken before the close of the present congress to provide such means as may seem suitable for the es- tablishment of cable system.
 Irecommend the whole subject to the care- ful consideration of the congress and to such prompt action as may seem advisable.

was young man of great promise
and was just entering upon a life

over 20 years of age; was born
Nov. 10, 1878. He was a Chris

prior to his death. That death is
sad under any circumstances.
especially is it sad to see one so
young, so full of promise, taken

away; he doeth all things we'll.
