Sunday In a series of brilliant combats on
different parts of the line of action. The
last advance was the most sanguinary, the
American loss being one killed and six
wounded, while the Filipinos suffered a loss
of forty-four killed and were utterly routed.
The brigade has lost to date six killed and
ffty-1ve wounded. The Filipinos lost 13O.
All the dead were buried. Several bayonet
charges were made on the 7th inst. during
the advance of the right and center. The
taking of the Chinese cemetery, on the 5th,
by the Montana and Pennsylvania regi-
ments was a superb piece of work. A bril-
liantly executed advance up the slope in the
open made battle picture that would de-
light any veteran.
Aguinado is reported to have established
headquarters at Malabon for the purpose of
rallying his forces for decisive blow. In
order to cover their movements the rebels
again opened fire upon the Kansas out
posts from the jungle last night The firing
was continued twenty minutes, but without
effect. The Americans reserved their fire
until detachment of the enemy emerged
from the bamboos when a well-directed vol
ley made the rebels scud back to their
cover like rabbits. Beyond this everything
is quiet along the entire line.
The Fourteenth Infantry has unearthed
several tons of Spanish shells which had
evidently been stolen from the Cavite arse
nal and cached by the rebels in the vicinity
of Paranaque. Fifteen cart loads of the
shells have been brought into the city, as
has also a modern naval gun ard part of
its mount There is no doubt that the gun
was either stolen by the insurgents or re-
moved from one of the sunken war ships

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The President
sent a message to Congress to-day calling
attention to the urgent necessity for the
construction of a cable across the Pacific
ocean. 1t does not make any specific recom-
mendation as to the mode by which the
cable shall be secured, the main point being
that it is imperatively necessary and should
be laid. The message follows:
las a consequence of the ratification of
the treaty of Paris by the Senate of the
United States and its expected ratification by
the Spanish government the United States
will come into possession of the Philippine
islands on the farther shores of the Pacific.
The Hawaiian islands and Guam being
United States territory ana forming con-
Venient stopping places on the way across
the sea, the necessity for speedy cable COM
munication between the United States and
all the Pacific islands has become impera-
tive. Such communication should be estab-
lished in such a way as to be wholly under
control 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 islands and Guam can only be
communicated with by steamers involving
delays in each instance of at least a week.
The present conditions should not be al
lowed to continue for moment longer than
is absolutely necessary
THE time has now arrived when a cable
in the Pacific must extend as far as Manila.
touching at the Hawaiian islands and Guam
this cable communication at once suggest
themselves. First construction and MAIN
tenance of such a cable at the expense Of
the United States government and, second,
construction and maintenance Of such a
cable by a private United States corpora
ton under such safeguards as Congress
shall impose.
Il do NOT make any recommendations TO
Congress as TO which OF these methods
would be the more desirable. A cable of
the length of that proposed requires 50
much time for construction and laying that
1t is estimated that at least two years must
elapse after giving the order for the cable
before the entire system could be success-s
fully laid and put in operation. Further
deep-sea soundings must be taken west OF
the Hawaiian islands so that the best route
for the cable can be selected. Under these
circumstances 1t becomes a paramount ne
cessity that measures should be taken be-
fore the close of the present Congress 10
provide such means as may seem suitable
for the establishment of cable system
II commend the whole subject to the
careful consideration of Congress and Of
such prompt action as may seem advisable"

ROBBED BY SOLDIERS.
Goods Of Macon Merchants stolen by
Second Ohio Volunteers.

MACON, Ga, Feb. 1O.-The merchants
and business men of Macon are highly in
dignant tonight over the robberies COM
mitted by the members of the Second Ohio
Regiment to-day as they were being mus
tered out of the service of the United
States. A large number of merchants sent
wagons loaded with merchandise out to the
camp to sell to the discharged soldiers. The
colonel commanding ordered them to leave
the camp and upon their refusal to do so
ordered the men to pilfer the wagons. The
robberies committed by the men did not end
here, but they came to the city and while
under the influence of whisky went into
several stores and walked out with goods in
full view of the amazed merchants. Sew
eral of them were arrested and after turn
ing over the goods were released. This
conduct was not general with the members
of the regiment and is deeply deplored by
large number of the better class of the men.
