and svamps Scores Of his men fell out OWING
20 the extreme heat and were left TO follow as
hest they could The head OF the army arrived
AT Morong at noon, having exchanged Only
few shots with nsurgent skirmishers on tne
way Groups OF stragglers followed all day. ou'
the force was two hundred smaller than when
IL started The men were almost thirty-sM

able achievement for them to cover the ground
they did.
On the way 10 Morong the Americans met
Aocks Of Filipinos under flags Of truce. many
of them Young men with the bearing of soldiers.
MANY discarded uniforms were found In the
bouses apparently those of soldiers who had
escaped by changing their costumes from IN
surrecto" to amigo" and walking boldly past
the army which had expected to corral them'
Few were found about Morong.
One member Of the Washington regiment was
killed and two were wounded in the encounter
with the outposts.
General Lawton. on board a gunboat search-
ing the coast for Major Truman. stopped at
Binangonan, opposite Morong. The natives I'M
mediately ran up a flag OF truce, but delega-
ton in canoes put off and greeted the Ameri-

The rebels on Saturday night made an attack
upon the friendly town OF Macabebe. and, after
driving the inhabitants out. burned the town
The insurgents nightly annoy the troops at
San Fernando Several Americans have been

Continuing. Baron Btlow said AN un-
derstanding has also been arrived AT WIN SPAN
regarding the mutual granting Of conventional

interests OF German as well as Spanish trade.
So soon as the Cortes has sanctioned the sale
OF the islands we will submit the necessary bills
to the Reichstag. which will have the oppor-
tunity Of thorough and practical examination
Of the matter. Until then we hope the Reichs-

courtesy"
In spite Of the request of the Minister or For
eign Affairs Herren Bebel and Richter. In oehalf
OF the German members of the Left, In the
course OF the debate on the supplementary est-
mates. vigorously attacked the Spanish-German

Herr Bebel alta cked the Strikes BILL and said
II constituted the most violent attack ever made
upon the freedom and human dignity Of the
working classes, and came at the moment when
on the other side OF the Vosgees Mountains. the
wrong done to a single individual is being re-
haired. and when on the other side of the Alps,
the monarchy was trying to undo by amnesty
the wrong done at Milan In a. preceding year.
The speaker then described the bill as shame
full and he was thereupon called to order. The
Secretary Of State OF the Interior. Count Won
Posadowsky -Wehner, replied that the Dill was
intended to cope with the excrescences upon
the right of combination" which, he added, no
State could tolerate. but 1t was too important
to deal with casually, and would be debated
later on.
