to take possession ofA the towns in the
southern provinces and i'll the NisayaS
Islands. now held by small bands OF
Tagalos. They declare the natives find
the Tagalo oppression worse than Span

General Luna, who retired from the
command of the Filipino forces and who
was editing q newspaper at San Fran

due to the fact that the Filipinos re-

as showing that the rebel army is only

AMERICANS AND BRITISH CAUGHT
IN AN AMBUSCADE.
Retreat Sounded Thrice Before They Woulc
Obey-Two American Officers Killed
and Decapitated- Charges Against
Consul Rose.

Lieutenant Freeman and Lansdale
were capable and popular officers. The
former was single, and the latter was
married in june
The officers who returned are Lieuten-
ant George f. Cave, of the Porpoise.
and Lieutenant C.. NJ. Perkins, of the
Philadelphia. All behaved splendidly.
Lieutenant Cave took command of the
retreat.
Captain Sturdee, of the Porpoise, was
away on an expedition with his cruiser,
and Gaunt's brigade was also absent
on duty.
The loss of the enemy is not known,
but probably fifty of the rebels We're
killed and many were wounded. The
bodies of three rebels were. found near
the spot where Lieutenant LansdaIe and
Ensign Monaghan, of the Philadelphia,
We're killed. The priests buried thirty
eight rebels and much blood was seen
on the road along which the Mataafans
had dragged AWAY their dead and
wounded. There Were also pools of
blood behind the cocoanut trees, the bull
lets from the American and British rifles
going right through thick trees and kill
ing men hiding behind them. Some of
the rebels fired from the tops of cocoa
nut palms.
The rebels opened fire near the town
last evening. and it is now proposed to
Summon another warShip. to distribute
more arms among the friendles. and to
IMPORT additional friendlies from Tutulea
It is also suggested that troops might
be obtained from New Zealand or Sgd
ney, New South Wales
If Il sufficient quantity of arms could
be obtained about two thousand friend
lies could be used against the Mataa-
fans. But they are not brave and have
not shown fighting qualities excepting
those with Gaumt's brigade. and that
force may not accomplish much

has been provided for in Washington.
On the stand to-day he swore that he

The case made out by the Government

A. X. in News and Courier.

Columbia, Feb. 19.-Speclal ::
Tn" Legislative session will end
tins week. 1t has been much Ion
ger than was anticipated. but 1t
has been a peacedhle spssion.
Good ;"r!lng has been manifest
on all occasions, and the only
thing which has permitted the
functional differences to be evi-
denced is the dispensary issue.
The dispcnsarv seems to be harp.
ed upon as child of fartionaltsm.
and therein some of its friends
make serious mistake.
The session. aside from being
conspicuous for good feeling, has
shown marked stimulus in in
dustriaI development. There have
not in years been so many rail
road charters granted or asked
Tor, and probably two thirds OF
the charters granted arc bona fide.
Besides tn" railroad charters the
American Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company, (long distance
telephone,) and the Postal Tele-
graph Company propose extend
ing their lines To considerable
extent in this State, and these en-
terprises mean business. The
American Company ia distinct
from the Bell'I.nng Distance Com
pany, which las been making
promises for years to give Column
bia, Charleston and other points
long distance telephone cornec-
ton.
The influx Of railroad bills was
so great as to emphasize the ne
cessity for a general Act permit
ting such charters through the
office OF the Secretary Of State. in
order to spare the expenses and
trouble OF getting such charters
through the General Assembly.
WHEN WILL IT ALL BE OVER!
When will the General Assem-
bly, adjourn2 That is the vital
question now. Tuesday was nam
ed for adjournment. and the As.
sembly may yet adjourn on that
day, but there are contingencies
which make it possible for the

1t IL said that one of the reas
ons which actuated the senate in
calling for the return Of the adj
J"urnment resolutlon was the i'll

possible inability on his part to
