Fight at linus,

MANILA, Oct. 3.-The Fourth In
fantry under Major Price has had a
series of encounters with the insurgents
about linus since Saturday. The ma
tives led, it is supposed, by former
mayor OF linus, made q general attack
upon the American lines from linus TO
Bacoor. A captain and a corporal of
the American forces were killed and
eight men were wounded. A Filipino
colonel is known to have been killed,
Maj. Price requested Rear Admiral
Watson to send two gunboats to his
support The fighting began on Sat-
urday, when Capt Brown took the
same battalion that distinguished itself
ar Perezdas marinas and Lieut.. Knab-
enshue's scouts against large force of
insurgents on the Perezdasmarinss
road and general engagement fol
lowed.
The Americans, lying in the mud in
the rice fields, kept up brisk fire for
an hour and a half, when reinforce
ments were sent TO them until seven
companies were engaged. The insur-
gents retreated. During the engage.
ments three Americans were wounded.
The fighting yesterday began with an
attack by the insurgents on party en-
ployed repairing the telegraph lines,
one member of which was wounded.
Gen. Alexandrino and the two other
Filipino ENJOYS who accompanied him,
returned to Angeles by special train.

As to Dewey's Sponsor.

A controversy quite as momentous
as the question of the responsibility
for the killing of 'Cock Robin" is going
on over the matter of the assignment
of the once Commodore Dewey to the
command of the Asiatic squadron.
Senator Proctor says he did it through
his influence with President Mckinley.
Presumably, Admiral Dewey is him
self good, if not conclusive, authority
on this point.
When Governor Roosevelt paid his
official-and, what was more, his per-
sonal, visit to Admiral Dewey, he was
received in the hearty and unconven-
tional manner of boon spirits. With
both hands extended the Admiral STEP
ped down the gangway as Roosevelt
bounded up. There was nothing for
NAL in the mutual and exuberant ex.
pressions of pleasure the meeting gave.
Distinguished attentions were lavished
on the Governor during the time he
was on board. The jackies were lined
up to see him and be seen by him.
They gave him such cheers as only
sailors can give their ideal of hero,
and when the leader of the Rough
Riders spoke to them and said that
"since the Admiral and have met he
has grown up alongside of Nelson and
Farragut," the whoop they gave broke
all the records. When Roosevelt left
the ship the superlative compliment OF
an admiral's salute was Dewey's ex.
preston of his estimate of the quality
OF his guest and his regard for him as q
friend.
And this is Dewey's testimony in the
mooted matter of his selection for the
post on which the chief naval honors
of the war were won. 1t was given in

Farragut's Flag.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Shortly after
the naval parade got under way today
an old quartermaster hurried a small
dark roll of bunting to the main hand
over fist. 1t hung there while the
bugle sounded the call to quarters and
the marines were mustered aft. Then,
just as the signal to weigh was given,
pull on the halyards opened the roll
and spread the four-starred flag which
Farragut flew as he ran the fort in New
Orleans. 1t was the flag which was
presented to Admiral Dewey. AS it
broke, sailors at their stations and the
marines on the quarter deck, greeted it
with the hip hip.hoorah we get from
our ancestors. The flag fioated proud
ly all through the pageant today. 1t is
the most precious possession OF Farra.
gHt's pupil, and when it is struck on
Monday it will probably be forever, as
1t is altogether unlikely that Admiral
Dewey will ever command another feet.
Admiral Dewey went on the after
bridge az soon as the start was made
and remained there throughout the
parade, heroic figure outlined against
the skies for the thousand ahoat and

of the time was Col Bartlett. The Ad-
miral gave close attention throughout

pla that she was maDeuvred with
great difficulty. The excursion boats,
loaded to the guards with people, we're
almost criminally reckless as they pass
ed along. Many of them listed so far
that one wheel was buried deep while
the other scarcely tickled the water.
The admiral was sometimes annoyed
by the crowding of the craft, but he
retain his equanimity through it all,
bowling and waving his cap to the
cheering crowds.
When the crowd of vessels abont the
flagship became so dense that the
progress of the rest of the parade was
impeded the Admiral ordered the
police patrol boats 10 clear the way for
the ships that had left the line and had
spread, themselves about the Olympia
like flock of wild geese. He did not
leave the bridge until the approaching
darkness tnrned the ships in the demon
allied tail end of the procession back
10 their piers.
