DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
Tilipinos Fought Desperately at Taguig
but Were Repulsed.

MANILA, March 2O.-Some OF the reb-
els recently expelled from Cavite and
the small towns in the vicinity of Pasig
combined forces and attacked COM
pany of the Washington volunteers at a
detached post at Taguig, about mile
and half southeast of Pasig.
i General Wheaton Immediately rein
forced the Americans with two COM
panies each of the Washington and the
Oregon regiments. The post had held
the enemy in check and the fire of the
reinforcing companies repulsed them,
driving them across to an island formed
by the estuary. They we're thus in
front Of the Twenty-second regulars.
On discovering that they were en-
trapped the rebels fought desperately.
aided materially by the jungle and the
darkness, but they were completely
routed with heavy loss after two hours
fighting.
The Americans lost two killed and
twenty wounded, among the latter
Lieutenant Frank Jones.
Rebels Pursued for Miles.
General Wheaton determined to pun
ish the natives and at daybreak his
brigade started in the following order:
The Sixth artillery holding the ex-
treme right, the Oregon volunteers
holding the. center. the. Washington
regiment keeping to the edge Of the
| lake and the Twenty second regulars
occupying the right of the line which
swept the whole country along the lake
in a southeasterly direction towards
General Ovenshine's position. The
line thus extending over two miles of
country, rough and covered with thick
jungle, advanced II miles. The enemy
fed, the last of them being seen about
$3.50 o'clock. At scarcely any time did
the Americans get within 1900 yards of
them.
The troops are returning to Pasig ex-
hausted by the hard work under a hot
sun. The Oregon regiment had one
man killed and four wounded and the
Twenty-second regulars one wounded.
to the official reports no
fewer than 200 Filipinos were killed.
Filipino Soldiers Weakening.
General Otis says the American army |
and gunboats now command the lake. !
He estimated that property Of insur-
gents valued at 100000 has been de-
stroyed, while quantities of rice and |
sugar and 400 tons Of coal, which is
very valuable here, has been captured.
Many prisoners represent that the Fill
pino soldiers are weakening. In the
opinion of Americans, however, the
Filipino leaders will continue to pro-
woke fighting just as long as they can
retain their hold on their followers, be- :
cause they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose.
The armed tugs La Guna de Bay and
Oeste have returned to San Pedro Ma
,ati and reported the results of their
tour of the lake. On Friday morning
ast they shelled the town of Moreng,
The rebels fleeing without making any
to the fire. The expedition
;hen proceeded to Majayjay, where a
sugar mill and saw mill were destroyed.
On arriving at Santa Cruz it was found
hat the enemy was strongly en-
;renched. A few shells caused an exo-
1us Of the citizens, but not of the
troops. The Americans did
1ot attempt landing.

COURT HOUSE PLANS.
A ctions of Com missionsrs Jones and Hay
Given Coat of Whitewash.


The examiners appointed by the court
to hear evidence on the exceptions OF
Commissioner John Quincy to the plans
of Architect f. j. Osterling, of Pitts
burg for the new courthouse. and
which were accepted by majority of
the county commissioners, reported on
Monday at considerable length. Strip
ped OF its verbosity the report is a
whitewash-and a very poor job at that.
They find that the question of wheth-
er the plan is the best Of those submitted
is a matter of opinion merely, and they
do not think the action of the commits
sioners in accepting it should be re-
versed.
As to the building exceeding In cost
the stipulated amount, $495, 900. they
think the offers of two Pittsburg con
tractors to build it for less sufficient
evidence to show that it can be built
for that amount. Overwhelming evil
dence of contractors and builders show
ed that it cannot be erected for near
this amount.
Regarding the assertion that Oster-
ling had undue influence, they applied
the brush with energy by stating that
the evidence submitted on this point
is not enough to warrant any jury in
holding Ostering.
They then say that they do not con-
slider it within their province to pass
judgment and leave that for the court.
Commissioners Hay and Jones are
both candidates for denomination and
reelection on the Republican ticket.
The majority of the examiners are also
Republicans.
