AGUINALDO At MALABoNAs.
The F'ilipinos Select This as Their Bast
of Operations.

Ine f1llplnoS Select Tins as Their Base
of Operations.
Manila, Feb. 10.-10:10 A. m.-The re-
bels at this hour seem to have selected
Malabonas as the base of operations for
their next encounter with the Ameri-
cans, as they are concentrating a con-
siderable force there and at Caloocan.
Many small bodies of scattered rebel
troops are struggling in from the right,
and others are undoubtedly arriving from
the north and the interior provinces.
Aguinaldo is reported to have estab-
lished his headquarters at Malabonas
for the purpose of rallying his forces for
a decisive blow.
In order to cover their movements, the
rebels again opened fire on the outnosts
of the Kansas regiment. They kept up
the fire from the jungle for about TWEEN
ty minutes, but without effect The
Americans reserved their fire until de-
tachment of the enemy emerged from
the bamboos, when Il well directed vol
ley made the rebels scuttle back to cover
like rabbits.
Beyond this, there was quiet along the
entire lines.
Some soldiers belonging to the Four
teenth infantry have unearthed several
tons of Spanish shells, evidently stolen
from the arsenal at Cavite and hidden
by the rebels in the vicinity of Parana-
que. Fifteen car-loards of shells have
been brought in here The troops also
found a modern naval gun, and parts
Of its mount which had undoubtedly
been stolen from one of the sunken
Spanish warships.

B. Holman, chairman of the Finance
Committee, about appropriations and
revenue, and he said
We have made mistake in taking
up any appropriation bills until all the
committees We're ready to make their re-
ports, and this morning | will make Il
motion in the House to reconsider the
vote by which the bill passed making
appropriations for the Institution for
the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, and move
to refer it back to the Appropriations
Committee to be held until all recon-
mendations for appropriations from all
State institutions are ready to be re-
ported. ! will then late" ON move that
II day be set when all appropriations
shall be considered.
Il will do this because | believe the
only safe course is to pass no appropria-
tiOn bill until we know what all the in
stitutiOns will ask, and how much our
revenue will be. Then we can act with
more intelligence ana wisdom than IS
possible with only partial recommends
tions before us.
Il believe we ought to be as liberal
with our charitable and educational in
SilLuIlOnS as circumstances VIII dulIliI.
The helplessness of the blind and the
lack of being abe to talk and hear appeal
very strongly to my heart, and | have
always voted to give them such educa-
ton and care as l thought the State
could afford. / never did criticize the
Fusonists for their appropriations to the
States unfortunates. but for their eX-
travagance in the Legislature, and in
other departments. would like, if
the people of the State were in posi-
tion to pay for il, to give all our insti-
tutions all the appropriations they ask
for / will 80 as far as | can to give
every necessary comfort and best IA
-cilities. and / believe that the appro-
priations asked for by the Raleigh and
Morganton institutions would be spent to
good purpose.
This Legislature, however, is pledg-.
ed to practice close economy along all
lines We will have to deny some ap-
preparations we would like to make,
