ABOUT RECENT FIGHTING.
Official Reports State That There We're No
Engagements Of Importance With Fill
pinOs-San Fernando BOmbarded.

Manila, Aug. 11.-Official reports re-
ceived here from the scene of the
recent fighting with Filipinos say the
day was spent in reconnaissance, dur.
ing which the American troops found
few Of the enemy. But there were
no engagements Of Importance. A
battalion of the Seventeenth infantry,
under Maj. O'Brien, advanced very
close to Angeles. The major reports
there are about $50 insurgents there.
A battalion of the Twelfth in
fantry made reconnaissance in
the direction of Porac, but the
enemy there scattered. The main
body Of the American army is at Calu-
lum. The line has been materially
changed since the advance was stopped
yesterday and now includes the towns
of Guagua and Santa Arita.
Maj. Gen. Otis issued an order yes
terday closing the ports in the hands
of the insurgents to inter-island traffic
Aguinaldo issued a decree July "a,
dated from Tarlac, closing the insur-
gent ports to vessels flying the Ameri-
can flag and inviting vessels under
other flags to visit them. Visitors un.
der foreign flags cannot traffic with
these ports without running the block
ade.
The gunboats Concord, Yorktown,
Callao and Pampanga bombarded San
Fernando Tuesday. The Filipinos
replied with cannon and musketry for
an hour and then fled to the hills, the
gunboats firing on them with their
machine guns until the rebels disap-
peared. The bombardinent was con.
tinued for some time afterwards and
many houses were riddled and de.
stroyed, but the town was not set on
fire.

LETTER FROM Gomez
The Cuban Patriot Explains the
Situation In Cuba.
HIS BELIEF IN AMERICAS HONOR,
The General Thinks the Intervening Power
win Fulfil the Obligations Il Has In
eurred-Not the Work Of . Day
to Organize Society.

Havana, Aug. lin an open letter
published yesterday by La Lucha Gen.
Maxine Gomez says he has remained
in Cuba to fulfill a great duty. Now
that exaggerated and mistaken notions
are current regarding the state of Cuba,
he desires to explain the true situation.
He says:
1t is absolutely false that great differences
exist between the Cubans and spaniards, or be-.
tween the Cubans and Americans, or among the
Cubans themselves On the contrary, oil Is 90
ing well. An old institution the Cuban army,
Is being dissolved; the people think only Of
absolute Independence; national party
which opens It's arms to receive oil without
asking questions as TO where they were
during the war Is being formed. More
could not have been done in 30 short time
The impatient population does not realize that
II Is not the work Of day to organize society.
Turbulence Of highly strung minds must have
time to abate in people thirsting for indie
pendence and liberty must be restrained by ma
tional precepts. There has been Intervention
by foreign nation for the sake Of peace, and
now the moment is propitious. All who were
previously disunted should unite for the same
end, which is to form council representing the
Soul Of Cuba.
In the meantime, the intervening power will
fulfill the obligations 1t has incurred and the
Cuban people, heroic and sensible, will take the
situation calmly, working and waiting for the
independence and liberty which the future will
surely bring. As for the suggestion that the
intervening power contemplates robbing the
Cubans Of their own, do not believe 1t. Such
rumor is q calumny against an honorable peo-
pie. The Cuban left poor by the war, should
dream only Of work Let us allow bygones to
be bygones. Let US see q brother In every man
In Cuba.
With regard to himself, Gen. Gomez,
whose letter is addressed to his son,
Domingo, says the latter must not
trouble himself regarding his fathers
future and reputation. He declares
that he considers himself successfully
defended by his own record, by career
which was always adjusted to the ra-
tional order of events" He describes
himself as without ambitions Of any
kind that could disturb my conscience
and happy in the lot Of people
who shall one day be themselves
happy" Scuba, which adopted
and fought for the highest prin-
ciples," he continues, 'is now
in peace. She is behaving like a cul-
tured country, in order that her people
might constitute themselves a nation
without need Of an external mentor.
II such conduct is continued, If such an
of self-restraint is maintained,
all American militarism must disap-
pear, giving place to true democracy"
The noble people Of Havana" he
says, have once more earned his graft
tude by signal demonstration of good
will toward his wife and family, but he
Is soon going away from among them,
as he longs to be in his own country
again.

Afraid Of His Own Men.

Des Moines, Ia. Aug. lO.-The charges
Of cowardice which have been made
against Capt. A. r. Burton, of company
II, Fifty-frst Iowa, promise sensation
al developments. Advices from Manila

Burton was in terror lest some Of his
own men would shoot him. The mat
