ing to a speech by him and vociferously
cheering his utterances, with commin.
gled cries of death to the assembly,"
this body, in a guarded house at Ell
Cerro, two miles away, continued the
abusive TRADES of Saturday.
. General Laret deplored the presence
of the armed guard, saying that the as
sembly had nothing to fear from the
people of Cuba and that if the people
wanted to do its members injury the
shame was theirs. Senior Cisneros was
elected to succeed Vice President
Tamao, who had resigned. In acknowl-
edging the election Senior Cisneros re-
ferred to the miserable" $4,000, 900
which the United States has offered.

saying that he could not permit him to

to whom Cuba owed much.

A letter was then read fran General

pulsion. It was unanimously carried
by a viva voce vote.
A committee of three was appointed
to draft an address to the Cuban people
and army regarding Saturdays action
of the assembly with instructions to re-
port at the next session.
Then followed speeches by Sanguilly,
Purthondo and Agerro, all referring to
the Lying statement" of Gomez and
repeating the charges against him
made on Saturday. The general effect
of their utterances was justification of
Saturdays proceedings-a claim that
the assembly was acting solely with a
view of obtaining recognition of the
just deserts of the Cuban soldiers. All
the speakers deplored 'any misjudg-
ment at the hands of the Cuban people,"

supported by the Oregon volunteers
the advance force opened a heavy firt
on the rebels. The response was feeble
and desultory, apparently coming from
handfuls of men in every covert. While
the right column was swinging toward
the town of Pasig, they advanced,
pouring volleys into the bush.
A small body of rebels made deter.
mined stand at Guadalupe church, but
the enemy was unable to Withstand the
assault.
Gunboat Shells the Banks.
At 7:3O a. M. river gunboat started
towards Pasig. The rebels were first
encountered by this vessel in the jungle
near Guadalupe. Steaming slowly, the
gunboat poured terrific fire from he1
Gatling guns into the brush. For all
of an hour the whizzing of the rapid
fire guns alternated with the booming
of the heavier guns on board.
In the meantime Scott's battery
ashore was shelling the trenches and
driving the enemy back. The artillery
then advanced to the ridge of bamboo
and drove few of the enemy's sharp.
shooters away with volleys from their
carbines. The artillery then advanced
and met with little opposition. In the
meantime the column moved forward
in extended order, the Washington reg.
iment resting on the bank of the river,
each regiment deploying on reaching it's
station and furnishing it's own supports.
The entire column then wheeled
towards the river, driving the enemy
toward his supports and then advanced
on Guadalupe. The artillery moved to
a ridge commanding Pasig and Par
teros. BY this time the enemy was in
full fight along line over mile long,
and the firing was discontinued tempo
rarily in order to give the troops rest
before making the attack on Pasig. The
enemy's loss was believed to be severe,
but only eight Americans were wounded.
At this stage of the engagement it
was raining heavily.
Attack on Pasig Resumed.
After short rest, General Wheaton
resumed the attack on Pasig. Scott's
battery, supported by two companies of
the Twentieth regiment, advanced on
Guadalupe by the road along the river
bank, the remainder Of the Twentieth
regiment and the Twenty-secOnd follow.

Diplomacy
In the Reply to Italy Touching
Americas Position as to
China.
It Pleased Both Italians and Chi.
nese, While Also Serving
Ourselves.
Important to All the Powers to
Know Just Where We
Stand.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The am
bassadors and ministers in Washington,
representing those powers having large
interests in China, have communicated
to their foreign offices the substance of
the recent answer Of the United States
to Italy, to the effect that this country
would maintain an attitude of disinter-
ested neutrality as to Italian designs on
San Nun bay. Some of the diplomats
have advised their governments that
they regarded the announcement Of the
United States attitude as of supreme
Importance in the Chinese situation.
The reasons for this are summed up by
a prominent member of the diplomatic
corps, representing one of the powers of
Europe, as follows: :
Brilliant Diplomacy.
1.-THE answer of the United States to
Italy is a remarkably brilliant stroke Of
diplomacy. The natural inclination of
the United States government would
have been to favor the move of Italy for
the opening Of San Nun bay, as that
would give another port to the growing
American trade in China. But as this
would have excited the animosity of
China, your government decides
upon course of 'disinterested neu-
trality.' This gives no. offense
to China and at the same time
Italy and the world at large take
notice that the United States will op-
pose no obstacle to the acquisition of
San Nun bay or other Chinese ports. 1t
is most important to all the powers to
know that the United States has no
purpose to interfere in behalf of China,
even to the extent of exerting her moral
influence toward continuing China's in
tegrity. For that reason, I look upon
the American answer to Italy as the
most important development in the
Chinese situation that has arisen in re-
cent days, and think it would be so
accepted in all the foreign Offices"
Would BE Valuable to U.s.
The diplomatic official further pointed
out that if Italy secured San Nun bay
from China it would prove port Of in
estimable value to the United States
interests in the Philippines. It is one
of the southerly ports of China, and
about the closest for the big trade to
and from Manila.
The Chinese authorities were at frs,
inclined to accept the answer of the
United States to Italy as rather favor.
able to China, but the more it is turned
over the more it appears to indirectly
favor Italy, as it gives her an assurance
that her hands will be free in executing
the move on San Nun bay.
