The troops first encountered the rebel

dislodged after half an hours fight

splendid manner under heavy fire
until II was ready to volley the rebels
from the trenches. The latter had a
great advantage and dropped num-

1000 men, 800 Of whom were
entrenched, and In the face Of
cross fire our troops carried
the town after four hours fighting
and burned the outskirts, the rebels
firing from the windows and keeping
up running fire in the streets. The
Americans then withdrew In order to

BATTLE NEAR ILOILO.

zenith Infantry and Are Repulsed
with Heavy Losses.

New York, March "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 reconnaissance in
the direction of Mandurriao and Santa
Barbara Thursday. While they were
returning the insurgents attacked the
outposts on the right. Although ia
tieued from marching in the broiling
sun for two hours, the entire command
proceeded to the assistance of their
comrades, the artillery pouring shell
and shrapne 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 wards 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.
zenith regiment alone used $500
rounds Of ammunition. 1t is estimated
that the insurgents, with more than
$4,000 rifles, used more than double our
total Of ammunition.
1t is impossible to tell accurately the
insurgent losses, as the American
troops converged at given point with
out traversing the ground shot over,
but on the day afterthe battle | could
see, from Jaro belfry, the enemy cart

DIR, SENN'S TESTIMONY.
A Physician Who servsd In Cuba and Porto
Rico says Canned Beef Was Not
Roasted, but Boiled.

Chicago, March 20. Before the beef
inquiry court yesterday Dr. Nicholas
Sem, of Chicago, who served in Cuba
and Porto Rico. testified that the
troops in Cuba lived larg ely on canned
roast beef and bacon. He had every
reason to believe that the canned bee
was not roasted, but boiled. 1t was
tasteless and certainly appeared to
lack nutritious qualities, as was
apparent from the condition OF
the men who returned from Cuba to
Mon tauk-men who had never been
i'll, but were greatly emaciated He
believed that the meat was overdone-
that there was some fault in the pro-
cess of preparation-that the process
has not been perfected. The bacon
was of good quality He could say
nothing about refrigerator beef be-
cause he did not see any of it in
Cuba or Porto Rico. He made no
formal inspection Of the canned
roast beef, but had eaten some Of
IL and his statements were based on
his own experience. The meat was
evidently good meat-was of good
quality, but, as stated before, was
not properly prepared--was over
cooked. He thought one of the meat
supplies of the future for the army
should be dried beef. Men could be
fed once or twice a week on canned
roast beef without i'll effect on their
health. but as daily ration for any
length of time he would not consider
IL a safe or advisable ration When
the packers learn how to make real
roast beef he thought it would be an
excellent thing, but not as an exclu-
sive d ct.
