TWO ATTACKS
DURING THE NIGHT

New York, March IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: After the in
surgents had been driven off last night
from in front of MarQuina, they came
back 500 strong and cut off a company of
the First Nebraska volunteers. General
Hale sent out three companies Of the Ne
bra ska regiment and two companies Of
the Second Oregon to dislodge them. The
enemy, who were holding strong posi-
tion among the rocks, fired excellent vol
leys at the advancing Americans, but
the latter by a flank movement drove the
FihpinCs over the hills.
No sooner was this fight we'll under
way than the insurgents to the south Of
the water works, knowing that the forces
there had been weakened by sending
troops to Mariquina, attacked the water
works in the rear. Their object was to
cut off the pumping sta ton, but they did
not succeed. Their fire was heavy and
our small loss was due solely to the bad

OLD SHIRT WAS
FOUND IN AN Aa-EY

Chicago, March IA clue to what She
police believe was a great robbery, and
which took place in Louisville, Ky, on
February 26, was found today. The clue
was furnished by an old undershirt which
was found in an alley in the rear OF %
Custom House place. In the discarded
garment were papers, including bonds,
mortgages, deeds and mining certificates
representing a face value of over 100000,
besides a raft of personal correspond
ence and receipts. The discovery was
made by Charles +. Pecit, who is en-
ployed in the vicinity, and he immedi-
ately took the package to the Harrison
street station. The papers are all III the
name of James M. Sigafus, manager of
the Good Hope Mining company of
Perris, Cal, with the exception of the
deeds or mining property made to Au-
gusta c. a. Sigafus. The officers base
their belief the papers Were secured in a
Louisville robbery from evidence which
they found in the rresponednce. a
small diary in which Sigafus had jotted
down incidents of each day since Janu-
airy of this year was found in the pack
age. The last entry was made February
26, and from the fact that every day be-
fore that he had faithfully kept his diary
the police argue that the book must have
lett MS possession during that night or
the following morning. The memorandum
of the preceding day shows that Sigafus
was in Louisville and that it was his in
tention to remain there two or three
days. The last entry read as follows:
Am now stopping at the Broadway
house Met Johnson today by appoint
ment. Clear weather.
While in the memorandum made Feb
ruary 26, and the last to be found in the
book, there is no mention of the city in
which he was stopping, the police believe
that it was Louisville. and kilograms We're
at once sent to the Kentucky town in an
effort to learn the present wherea bouts
of the owner of the recovered papers. If
the loss of the papers had occurred in
Chicago the police believe it would have
been reported to them

THE DESULTORY FIRING

THE DEsULTORY FIRING

Manila, March 7.-7:3O a. m.-An ad-
vance was made yesterday by General
Haes brigade ON Santolon ond Mari
quina. The Americans met with resist-
ance from the largest body Of natives
they have yet encountered.
+ The Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming
regiments, with eight guns Of the Utah
artillery and two companies of the Ore
gon regiment, were engaged. A gunboat
also took part in the fighting. The Twen-
tieth infantry was held in reserve.
The fighting spread to General Wheat
on's brigade, consisting of the California,
Washington and Idaho volunteer regi-
ments and the Sixth artillery. The rebels
We're dislodged from their positions and
compelled to retreat. Eight Americans
were wounded.
General MacArthur's and General
Hale's forces remained at the water
works.
This morning General Hale sent out
three Nebraska and two Oregon COM
panies to drive back about 500 rebels,
who had returned after last nights re-
pulse in front of Mariquina, and were
trying to cut off the Nebraska company
on outpost duty. The rebels had a strong
position, but We're soon outf1anked and
routed by the Americans, who had three
men slightly wounded.
While this affair was in progress the
rebels south of the water works at
tempted to cut into the rear of that sta
ton with the evident intention of isolat-
ing that post from the rest of the Amari-
can line.
The water works guard got into action
promptly, and the rebels We're driven
back. The rebel fire was heavy, but the
ma craftsmanship was, as usual, bad.
The rebels are placing guns at various
points, but show little skill in handling
artillery. The rebel movements show lack
of comprehensive design. and seem as if
| made by Independent chiefs, each fight
ing for his own hand.
The general opinion of all most COM
petent observers here. military and civil,
is that the oigarchy of which Aguinaldo
!, is the nominal head, must be thoroughly
broken before peace can be restored to
the islands. Many natives who have no
use for Agunaldo fear to express their
real sentiments until assured that the
United States will not abandon them to
the vengeance of the rebel chiefs.
