A Lively Brush With the Philippines
 With Small Loss to Our Troops.
 Manila, March 13.-At daylight today Brigadier General Loyd WheAton's divisional brigade, con sisting of the Twentieth United States infantry, the Twenty-second infantry, eight companies of Wash ington volunteers. seven companies of Oregon volunteers, three troops of the Fourth United States cavalry and 6 mounted battery of the Sixth artillery, was drawn up on a ridge behind San Pedro Mscati, a mile south of town. An advance was sounded at 6:30 a. m., the cavalry leading the column at smart trot across the open to the right, event ually reaching a clump commanding the rear of Guadalupe. The advance force opened s heavy fire on the rebels. The response was feeble and desultoTy. While the right column was sweeping toward the town of Pssig, the left advanced pouring volleys into the brush. A small body of rebels made 6 determined stand at Guadalupe church, but the enemy was unable to withstand the assault.
 At 7:30 6. ID. the river gunbost started toward Pasig. Stesming slowly the gunbost poured a terrific fire from her gattling guns into the brush. For all of an hour the whir- ring of rapid-6re guns, alternated with the booming of heavy pieces on board. In the mean time Scott's battery ashore was shelling the trenches and driving the enemy back.
 The cavalry then advanced to 8 ridge of bamboo and drove the enemys shArpshootsIs away with voleys from their cArbines. The artillery advanced and met with little opposition. In the meantime the infantry had been sent forward in extended order. The entire col umn wheeled toward the river driv- ing the enemy toward his supports aud then advanced on Guadalupe. Fire was discontinued temporarily in order to give the troops rest be- fore making an attack on Pasig. It was ll:30 when the colum cane in contact with the enemy and the gunbOat steamed to the fnng line and cleared the jungle on both sides The battery took mp 6 petition on the bluf at the right. She first shot from the American 6eld pieces at l2O0 yards dIslodged s gun of the enemy at Pasig. After the town had been shelled the Twentieth regi- ment was moved to position on the left of the place with the cavalry in the center, whereupon the enemy retrested to the town. The gunboat then moved into the bend opposite snd 8 hot fire on the rebel position was maintained aloRg the whole American line nntil 2:20 p. m., when preparations were made for an at tack. At 3 p. n. our gunboat start ed in pursuit of the enemy's armed tug, chasing her to the lake. At 3:30 p. m. large body of the enemy was discovered working around our right flank, and a portion of our troops took position on a command ing ridge. The loss of the Filipinos was 50 killed sni Is prisoners; of the United States forces six were wounded.

once covered by water, but the land was re-
claimed and in order to get proper foun-
dation for this great mass the top crust OF
earth and filling was removed to a depth
of 20 feet below the level of the station
floor From this point 1900 piles were
driven to an average depth of 40 feet, the
work being done by drivers suspended

level. These piles were cut Off and mix

The method of protecting the chimney
from lightning is novel. There are ten cop
per rods supported by brackets, extending
six feet above the top. These are tipped
with four two-inch platinum prongs. At
| the base of these rods is a heavy copper
band encircling the cap and attachment
made between them. At diametrically op-
posite points two heavy copper strips lead
| down the sides Of the chimney to suitable
ground plates. The total length of the

A GIANT CHIMNEY.
The Biggest Flue In the World Has
Been Built in New York.

IL
Been Built in New York.
From the Philadelphia Record
The battle waged for years between the
advocates of the forced and natural draft
is about to be settled in one decisive bout
between the two systems. In two of the
largest power producing plants in the
world which are now under construction
in New York city, the merits of each meth
cd will be conclusively shown by actual
test. and the supremacy of one or the
other firmly and finally established. These
plants are the stations of the Metropolitan
roads, which are both being hurried to
completion. The Metropolitan station will
be topped off with great chimney, and
will depend on the natural ascension of the
warm gases for draft. The Sd avenue sta
ton will have stacks Of sufficient height
only to carry the obnoxious gases above the
nuisance line, the necessary draft being
produced wholly by artificial means.
The first cost of chimney for large
plant is, of course, very great but after
that there is but little expense beyond the
interest on investment, and, although the
big pile of hricks represents an investment
of no small dimensions. 1t can never be re-
garded as an asset. On the other hand, the
plant installation for a blast plant can De
packed and transported, and adapted tcany
building where 1t may be desired, and, as II
can be disposed Of at any time with more
or less readiness, 1t can always be carried
on the books as substantial asset. This

No chimney has ever been constructed
which is larger when the bulk, weight and
capacity are taken into consideration. There
are taller ones in Earope,gbut their capacity
is less. In height it is eelipsed by the 400
foot stack at Hutte, SaXony, and by several
in England, but none of these is capable of
the draft-producingh achievements of the
Metropolitan brick pile. The only thing on
this continent approaching it is the stack

while this is but foot less in height, 1t has

The New York chimney will carry off the
gases from boilers whichs will generate TO-
600 horse power. This. amount of power is
great deal more than1s required for the
purposes of the company in the operation
of it's railway system, and it is rumored
that power will be sold to consumers along
the various lines erected. The Metropolitan
system represents 200 miles Of street rail-
way tracks. From the station the current
will be carried at high potential to small
substations scattered over the system. At
these stations the current will be trans
formed from high alternating one to a
direct current at low voltage. and will be
fed directly into the mains along the lines
of the road.

Progress in Education.

Improvement in roads Is closely related to
the attendance on schools. There are MANY
streams, some very rapid, and children
would have to cross a stream in instances
several times on their way to school up to
their armplts in water at the risk of their
lives. Under Spanish rule only 2,7OO out
Of 125,OOO of school age were reported en-
rolled in school. Teachers were underpaid,
and thousands of dollars are still due them
Schools were taught In private houses, more
than half the pupils were unsupplied with
text books, the rich could secure educa-
ton at will; but the instruction of those
dependent on public schools was treated
with Indifference or contempt. Mr. Rivera
when in power, assured the teachers in the
country that they could only expect fifteen
pesos per month. Under Gen. Henry the
whole educatt situation is being brought
into view, and careful efforts are being
made to effect Improvements as raDidly as
possible, to provide more schools, better ac-
commodations and to enforce prompt and
better pay for teachers. Gen. Henry has
offered $50 in gold per month for teachers
of English and kindergarten instructors.
Teachers meetings are held, text books are
being supplied. Teachers, as rule men
and women of character, have been ad-
visited as rapidly as possible and are show
ing new courage. Not a few are asking
for a vacation to go to the states to i'm
prove their methods and learn English.
Gen. Henry promises them free passage on
government transports to and from New
York. He does the same for the young men
and women seeking to pursue their eiuca-
ton in the states. No such favor was ex-
tended under Spanish rule, but, on the con-
trary, there were fees and exactions at
every turn. The insane have occupied a
part Of the same asylum with 400 orphans.
This injurious proximity of the deranged
to the young is no longer to continue; the
insane have been moved to another build
