the American-Canadian Commission.

the American-Canadian Commission.
Washington, February 15.-The Am
characterization commission was in
session this morning and when the
session concluded the members an
nounced another meeting would be held
tomorrow. They denied that there
was any possibility of the immediate
dissolution Of the commission, as has
been reported, but admit that for a
time yesterday the situation was very
precarious. They reached a point on
which there appeared to be i~rrecon-
cilable differences, but concluded to al
low the disputed point to rest for the
present, with the hope that a solution
might be found later. Consequently
they took up other questions to-day.

Manila, February Is, 500 p. m.-Sev-
eral rebels yesterday afternoon, having
fired from houses bearing white flags,
on the American outposts, Col. Smith,
with companies l., d, and M, of the
California volunteers, proceeded to
clear the enemy along his front.
The rebels opposed him from the brush
and several skirmishes occurred, dur
Ing which nine OF the Californians
were slightly wounded before the
rebels were driven out. The work
proceeded to-day in a systematic man
ner, a gunboat Smelling the villages
and working her rapid fire guns effect
ually on the jungle. The entire Cali
fOrnia regiment, with the exception CT
two companies; four companies of the
Washington regiment, two companies
of the Idaho regiment and a battery
of the Sixth artillery were engaged.
The rebels were driven towards Lake
Laguna de Bayo. The rebels held
their fire, apparently being short of
ammunition, but they fought desper-
ately.
The American outpOsts in this direc-
ton are now fully twelve miles out.
All is quiet along the rest of the
line with the exception that an occa-
sional exchange of shots between the
sharpshOoters breaks the monotony of
the day.

Chicago, February 15.-"I cannot

FORTIFIED MONASTERY.
Where the Monks Showed Contempt for
British Attacks.

For a country the ruler of which
holds such emphatic views on the sub
iect of universal peace, Russia holds
the strongest fortified institution In the
world. 1t is the monastery of Solo
vetsk, and IL any military experts de-
sire points as to the best method OF
protecting vital spots, they can do no
better than pay visit to this abode or
monks and take few lessons in prac-
tical defense from the practical breth-
rem who live there. Granite powders
form the chief protection. They are
arranged in q formidable circle COM
pletely enclosing the monastery. At
no point in the solid wall could the at
tacks of an enemy make an impress
sion. The huge rocks make line near
ly a mile in circumference. 1t was
during the period of the Crimean war
that the strength Of the fortifications
was tested and proved. The walls and
the towers held huge guns, and the
men behind the guns knew their bust
ness, which was to pour a fire into the
British White Sea squadron. The
monastery, which consists of six
churches, held valuable store of pre-
cious stones and statuary. The monks
did not remain inside during the she'll
ing of their home, but coolly walked
around the lodges of the granite walls
to show their Indifference to the work
of the attacking forces. The monas-
terry is a noted place, and it is estimat-
od tbot tho vaor1v uurnhar of Oi1orimq
visiting it amounts to 10000. Monks
man the steamers which carry these
crowds of men and women anxious to
see the fortifications and the relics in
the churches.
