MANILA, June 6.-1:40 p. m.-Two
battalions of the Washington troops un-
der Colonel Wholley, on board cascoes,
were lowed from Pasig to Morong on
Sunday and landed under cover of a
well directed fire from the ''tinclad"
army gunboats Napidan and Cova-
donga.
The rebels, who were entrenched in
the outskirts of the town, reserved their
fire until the troops were ashore, and in
the open. The American artillery
opened fire on the insurgents and drove
them from their positions, killing nine
of them and wounding five. The Wash
ington troops then took the town, the
rebels fleeing to the hills.
While the Americans were on their
way to Morong the insurgents opened
fire from shore battery at Ancona,
their first shot striking the Cavadonga's
awning at range of $500 yards. The
Napidan also was fired at.

flee in the greatest disorder.
1t was the intention to press on to
Antipolo at once, but this was found
impossible owing to the two fights and
the constant marching for more than II
hours with nothing to eat since morn
ing and no supply train in sight. The
troops suffered from the intense heat,
many berg Frustrated and all greatly
exhausted. Consequently they bivou-
acked for the night on the second bat
tlefield.
Antipolo Found Deserted.
The forces, after camping for the
night on the battlefield, started at 8
o'clock in the morning for Antipolo,
where it was expected a strong resist
ance would be made. The progress OF
the column was considerably delayed,
while rushing up the steep mountain
side, by small band of insurgents, but
these were effectively routed by the
Fourth cavalry, which was in advance,
and the troops reached Antipolo in
few hours. Our troops were imme-
diately thrown around on three sides of
the town and the final advance was
made. But it was found unnecessary to
fire shot. Not rebel was visible and
the town was entirely abandoned. Two
hours later, after conference between
General Lawton and General Hall, the
column proceeded towards Morong to
drive away any rebels found in that
quarter.
When the start was made for Anti
polo in the morning the Oregon regi-
ment and the Ninth infantry were left
behind as rear guard and there was
considerable firing along their lines in
clearing the enemy from the high hill
between their position and the lake.

AsBEsTUs.
Some of the Peculiaritfess OF This
Mysterious Substances.

FH mysterious SuDstduCes@ -
Asbestus is a physical paradox, yet
one of natures most marvellous produc-
tions. It has been called meteorological
vegetable; it is both fibrous and crys-
talline, elastic, yet brittle; floating
stone, which can be readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Ger
many it is known as steinfachs (stone
fax), and the miners of Quebec give it
quite as expressive name-pierre cotton
Cotton stone) The asbestqs mines Of
Quebec are the most famous in the
world, yielding 50 per cent of the en-
tire output, Italy being the only COM
peting country, and there the industry
is declining. Although Charlemagne is
said to have had tablecloth of asbestus,
which he cleansed by throwing into the
fire, it was practically unknown until
1850.
The italian mineral was then expert
mented with and some years later put
on the market. In 1878 the first Cana
dian mine was opened, and the product
steadily increased until 1890, when
$3.50 tons, worth 1850, 900, were
mined. There has since been decline
in value. the amount for 1896 being
$4,000, worth only $3.50, 600. Asbestus
is flexible. noncombustible and non
conductor of heat and electricity, and
on these properties its Increasing use
depends. 1t is spun into yarn, from
which cloth is woven for drop curtains
in theaters, clothing for firemen, acid
workers, etc. It is made into lamp
wicks and gloves for stokers and ropes
for fire escapes. 1t is felted into mill
board to be used as an insulator in dy-
namos and as freproof lining for
floors. 1t is used to insulate electric
wires and as covering to prevent loss
of heat from steam pipes. Mixed with
rubber it is used to pack steam joints

CHANGE OR ARMOR FOR BATTLE
SHIPS. -
Ever since the navy department
amended h plans for the new battle
ships Maine, Ohio and Missouri, so as
TO provide for an increase of thei speed
from sixteen to eighteen knots an hour,
n board on construction has been con-
sideTing questions that hav arisen as
a result of the change in the original
plans. Today the board dealt with the
question Of the not of armOr to be
carried. The Cramps, the builders of
the Maine, submitted plans looking to
a deduction of the main armOr belt
from twelve to ten inches and a half in
to provide for an extension of
the belt around the ship. The board,
however, accepted plans prepared by
Chief Constructor HichbOrn. which
provide for a main armor belt of eleven
inches, casemate armor of inches
and the extension OF the armor all
around the ship On his basis. The re-
suit is to increase the weight of the ar
NOR over the amount contemplated in
the Cramps plans by thirty-eight tons,
bit otherwise the board holds that the
battleships will be much improved by
the change. The Missouri, at Newport
News, and the Ohio, at the Union Iron
Works, are affected by the decision
equally with the Maine.
