Gen. Miller Makes Reconnaissance and a Sharp Skirmish with
 the Rebels Takes Place.
THE RESURRECTION IS BREAKING UP.
the Situation in the Philippine I.iands-- The Tagalo Half Devi and Half Chiid-- A Dispatch Received at WAshin ton from Gen. otis.

New York, NJ arch 22. A dispatch to the New York Herald from Iloilo, is- land of Pany. says: A battalion of the Eighteenth infantry, platoon of the Sixth artillery and the machine gun battery made a reconnaissance in the direction of Mandurriao and Santa Barbara Thursday. While they were returning the insurgents attacked the outposts on the right. Although fa- tigued from marching in the broiling sun for two hours, the entire command proceeded to the assistance of their comrades, the artillery pouring shell and shrapnel upon the insurgents who were strongly intrenched in large numbers. Gen. Miller was on the scene early and directed the operations from behind the fighting line. The line advanced by rushes 5000 yards under hot fire, pouring in deliberate volleys upon the enemy's position, the artillery making good practice. By the time the forces were all with in 300 yards of the final position darkness fell, preventing the charge, for which the Tennessee men and the companies of the Eighteenth on the right had already prepared by fixing bayonets. The retirement upon Jaro was accomplished in good order. The severity of the engagement may be judged by the fact that the Eight eenth regiment alone used 62, 800 rounds of ammunition. It is estimated that the insurgents, with more than %, 900 rifles, used more than double our total of ammunition.
 The Jnsurrecticn Breaking Up.
 New York, March 22 The Journals Manila special con tains an interview with Admiral Dewey in which the fa- nous naval officer is made to say:
 I believe the Tagalos instruction is already breaking up Gen. Wheaton's column could take Malolos, the insurgent capital. by good dash. The main part of the insurrection lies between Manila and Malolos There Is practi- caly no opposition to the United States au- thority in the southern islands The natives there hate the Tagalos and are really anx- ious to welcome The Tagalo is half devil and half child Eradicate the devil and you have only the child to govern. The strength of the enemy has been greatly over estimated The insurgents finding out that in warfare. as in q great many other things, the power of money is almost irresistible. If the Spaniards put down an instruction here sure ly we can do the same. We are strong enough to hold these islands without foreign alliance. With the Oregon, Iowa, Monterey and Monad- nook we could face any possible complication,
