AT o'clock 1 rode to Kings front and
found his lines satisfactorily established.
l then went to the Singalon front and
found everything satisfactory there.
I'm this engagement we lost two officers
and twenty-six men killed and four officers
and ninety-fve soldiers wounded: one en-
listed man injured. We can only estimate

very fine Krupp guns, besides large num-

! The GOODNESS, energy, bravery and elan
of the officers and men of this division are
worthy of the highest consideration. Be
ginning on the left, the Idaho regiment,
under Major Higgins, did splendid service.
Major McConville,s who served under my
command in the2War. of the rebellion was
killed leading his battalion, like the brave
and faithful officer that he was. Captain
Wilmington is especially commended by
his brigade commander.
Volunteers Fought Like Veterans.
1.-The Washington regiment, under Colonel
Wholley, received its baptism of fire. Its
men fought like veterans. From the Cali
fornia regiment 1 expected excellent SER
vice. Colonel James F. Smith showed the
very best qualities of a volunteer officer.
His services iH- every position in which he
has been placed have been most valuable
and efficient. / cordially recommend him
as brigadier general of volunteers. Major
Sine of the same regiment proved he is a
natural-born soldier He is not only brave,
but cool and discreet.
Captain Ham, lieutenant Sd Artillery, In
&C mmand OF the engineer company, showed
especial efficiency. The Wyoming battalion
although not well handled at first, when it
got into action showed the bravery / have
seen before in Wyoming men.
in the second brigade the North Dako-
tas made a dashing charge. The part of
the 4th Cavalry under fire fought as well
as they always have in their many battles
The fighting of the 18th Infantry, under the
trying surroundings IN which they were
placed. was little less than heroic: certainly

The Camp Meade canteen.

The Attorney General has been notified
that the War Department has decided not
to retry the case decided by Judge Simon
ton to the effect that the canteen at Camp
Meade must pay state license. This line
of action was decided upon, first, because
II is the intention to abandon Camp Meaee:
so that the decision, II reversed, would be
of no value; and. second, because this par
ticular case is inherently weak. as, through
the connivance of some private soldiers,
beer was sold to civilians. But the Penn
syiyania case will not be regarded as
precedent by the department, which re-
serves the right TO test the issue in the
future.

English Yachting Authorities Criti-
else Sir Thomas Linton.

The yachting authorities in London are
crfticising Sir Thomas Lipton's attempts to
Maintain secrecy regarding the building OF
the Shamrock. The Yachtsman says:
THE absurd air of mystery is maintained
to the last, though the cup defender was
racing Defender when Shamrock was put
in the water. 1t is difficult for the ordi-
nary mind to grasp the object of this ex-
IRENE solicitude to guard the secrets OF
her design. Even if highly satisfactory
photograph could be obtained there is hard
ly time for the Herreshoffs TO build a new
vessel, much, no doubt, as they would like
to do So
In conclusion the article alludes TO the
fictitious enthusiasm attending the build
ing of Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht

This division had on the firing line in
the battle of the 9Th instant about 3 $50 Off
GERS and men. We were opposed, as j be-
heVe, by about 1000 insurgent Fiiipinos. OF
these l estimate that 1900 We're killed,
wounded, captured scattered. Within
two days We had captured Pasig and Pa
teros. and our scouting parties had gone to
the Laguna del Bay.'

then advanced with his brigade to Pasai,
which he found abandoned. Leaving part
of his command there he marched with the
rest up the PaSai-Macati road and opened
communication with General King at San
Pedro Macau, and, returning, picketed the
road.
Lively Fight in Pace.
This ended the fighting at the front but
soon after Kings brigade had advanced be-
yond Pace a number of insurgents who had
laid concealed in the town began to fire on
the ammunition carts and hospital ambu-
lances going to the front. Anticipating the
possibility of this treachery small force
had been left in Pace, under Lieutenant
Colonel Debose. For time there was a
lively contest in the town. The insurgents
were so persistent that nearly all their
nipa houses in the town had to be burned
to dislodge them. Fifty-three prisoners
were taken, all in ordinary clothing, but
unquestionable participants in the savage
warfare. While this was going on in the
town sharp musketry fire was opened on
US from a large stone church near the Pace
bridge i directed Dyer'S battery on the
Knoll to reverse its guns and open on the
church. 1t was soon in flames, yet num-
Der of desperate men took refuge in the
church tower. 1t was several hours before
they could be dislodged, and they kept up
their resistance to the last.
During this engagement the telegraph
men of the signal corps did effective ser
vice, carrying their lines to the extreme
front at San Pedro Macat Fort Malate
and Pasai. Lieutenant Kiloourne, who was
with my headquarters party, did brave
act in climbing telegraph pole at the Pace
bridge to string a broken wire under a
cross-fire between desperadees in the tower
and our artillery.
New troops are generally demoralized by
firing from TANKS and rear. In this con-
test bullets seemed to come from all direc-
lions, but our men continued unconcerned.
When | had my headquarters on Artillery
Knoll the artillery men and my staff off,
GERS and orderlies were subject to this cross
fire during the entire engagement, and as
the enemy used smokeless powder it could

THE LEHUA SAFE.
Weatherbound at Kalaupapa-Wor
Received This Morning.

Word was received by the schooner
Concord today of the safety of the
steamer Lehua, for which some con-
Germ was beginning to be felt on ac-
count of her long absence. The Lee
hua sailed on her usual route a week
ago Monday and was due back here on
last Saturday or Sunday. When she
did not put in an appearance some anX-
iety was felt because of the heavy gale
which was blowing last week.
When heard from the Lehua was at
Kalaupapa. That was on Tuesday.
She had been there several days wait
ing for the sea to go down sufficiently
to enable her to land the supplies for
the leper settlement. Captain Bennett,
knowing that some anxiety might be
felt over his continued absence, sent a
messenger over the Pail to~cstch any
vessel leaving Kaunakakai.%
All the schooners plying to Molokai,
Lanai and Maui ports, have been
weatherbound during the recent gales.
