A BITTER FIGHT.



Manila, March "a. noon.-The enemy
is extremely active in the vicinity of
Malabon, preparing defenses, evidently
anticipating an attack. They keep well
under cover. A small body of rebels
however emerged from the jungle on
the extreme left and fired on the Kan
sas troops in the trenches. fatally
wounding Privates Cohen and MUIR.
The Oregon volunteers and 22d in
fantry marched to the front to-day.

embarked from the Sherman.

and about dozen unmarried men, in
charge of various business interests,
decline to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to leave.
Nothing has been heard from the two
American planters at Calumpit since
hostilities began.
According to Filipino accounts 1000
Americans have been killed. the fatal
tiles being especially heavy at Calico
can, where the United States troops
rushed like madmen against a storm
of bullets"
6:25 p. m.-Two Spanish prisoners
have escaped from Polo.
The lines of the Kansas regiment re-
port that the Filipinos have concen-
trated their forces at Malabon and
Polo. They add that only Aguinaldo's
body guard is at Malolos and that the
rebel leaders apparently intend to stake
their fortunes on q fight at Malabon,
where it was expected an engagement
would take place yesterday. If de-
feated it is further asserted, the rebels
intend to dispense to the swamps and
mountains.
The rebels are putting their bolos in
front, believing that the Bolo mems
charms will avert the bullets. The Bo-
los of the F'ilipinos greatly outnumber
the rifles in their hands. The rebels
are further said to have admitted that
they cannot withstand the Americans
shells and bayonet charges. The es-
capped Spanish corroborated the stories
told of food shortage among the rebels,
and they added that the hospitals are
short of supplies.

Yesterday morning the reports of county
officers which were left over from the pre-
vious meeting were taken up. The report
of County Clerk Martin for the quarter
ended Feb. IS. 1899. showed fees collected
and paid into the county treasury
amounting to $l,05715. The report was ap-
proved and ordered filed.
The report of E. j. Corcoran, clerk of
the district court, for the months of De-
cember and January and February show

| turned over to the county treasurer the
sum of $3.50. The report was approved and
ordered filed.

the new building. The plans and specif-
cations may be seen at the clerks office.
An order was made instructing the coun-
ty surveyor to procure for the use of the
county a complete map. the cost of which

hard to tell just where the county lines
run.

NO FIXED POLICY.
An Immediate Decision Relative to the
Philippines Needless.

Thomasville, Ga, March 24.-The ad-
ministration will not decide upon its
permanent policy respecting the Phil
ippines until the Schurman commission
reports. 1t feels that its present knowl-
edge is too indefinite to base a fixed
policy. Moreover, an immediate de-
cision is felt to be needless, since for
the present the only problem is the
restoration of law and order and the
establishment of stable, peaceful con-
ditions. This and the appointment of
a diplomatic representative at Madrid
are two of the most important mat
tiers remaining open. The Madrid mis-
sion probably will be raised to an en-
bassy soon after the payment of the
$2O,Ooo.0OO indemnity and a man of the
highest qualifications and attanments
chosen for this delicate and important
post. General Woodford may not be
the new envoy, owing to the fact that
New York already has such an undue
proportion of the highest diplomatic
appointments.
