WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Acting Sec
retary Allen, of the navy department. re-
ceived a cable message from Rear Ad-
miral Watson today giving q brief ao-
count of the engagement at subig bay.
1t is dated Sept %, at Manila, and says:
The MandOra discovered "A heavy
gun mounted opposite Ikalaklan
point on subig bay. This gun eX-
changed shots with the Charleston.
I sent the Charleston, the Monterey,
the Concord and the ZnfirO, with IA
detachment of marines and sailors
from the Baltimore, to capture and
destroy the gun. They attacked the
insurgent position on the 23d. After
bOmbardment landing party
carried the intrenchments, routed
the enemy and destroyed Il sixteen
centimeter Krupp gun.
William Shepherd, an apprentice
of the second class on the Charles
ton, was seriously wounded.
Charles RafFke, a coal passer on
the Concord, suffered from heat
PrOstratiOn.
The insurgent fire WAS heavy, but
poorly aimed. The enemy's loss is
unknown. Full report mailed.
The important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to obtain
Krupp guns 1t was known al the time
of the outbreak Of the insurgents against
the Americans that the artillery of the
insurgents consisted of a few obsolete
guns captured from the Spaniards. Now
they have been able not only to obtain
but to mount a modern gun at an inn
portant point not far from Manila.
Acting Secretary Allen says that it is
evident the navy at Mania does not in
tend to allow any fort to be erected by
the insurgents which can be reached by
the ships, and he is convinced that the
squadron under Rear Admiral Watson
will be able to keep the shores guarded
and repeat the lesson of yesterday If the
insurgents are found to be operating on
the coast.

secret Dossier Contained Seven Doc

secret Dossier Contained Seven Doc-
uments--sensation at Brussels
farls, May 16.-The Figaro, continuing
today its summary and analysis of the
evidence offered before the court Of Gao
sation in the Dreyfus inquiry, says it Is
in position to give the exact composition
Of the secret dossier. This package If
asserts, contained seven documents. each
of which 1t proceeds to analyze. Rea5rd-
ing the forged letters attributed to EN-
peror William the paper declares that they
existed in the dossier, but were subse-
quently destroyed. NJ. Hanotaux. former
minister of foreign affairs on learning
what was going on, protested against the
use OF these on the ground that they were
torgeries, but General MERCER, former
minister of war, refused to suppress them.
NJ Hanotaux's protest, according to the
Figaro. sim exists at the war office.
The Figaro says; when, IN Novembe,
1897 the lntransigeante alluded to these
letters, Count Won Munster. German am
hasSador to France, went to the foreign
office and said; My sovereign does not
concern himself with your forgerles. but
This is too much, II Is beyond all bounds;
make your press shut up The matter
was settled by an official denial of the
existence OF tho letters"
The other documents in the dossler were
only those already made public. The Fi-
caro- then goes on to show that when they
We're not forgeries they did not refer to
Dreyfus.
The Brussels correspondent Of the Figa-
70 says a sensation has been caused there
by the discovery that the chief OF tue in
ternational espionage was on terms OF in
innate friendship with the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry. This functonary secured
an election TO the French chamber of
commerce IN Brussels. When the fact of
his connection with Henry came mi he
was asked u resign, but he refused. The
french minister to Belgium NJ. Gerard,
begged the convention not TO press the
matter whereupon the entire administra-
i've council Of the chamber. with one ex-
ception, resigned.
