FIGHTS WITH FlLIPINOS.
SEVERAL UNIMPoRTANT sKIR-
MIsHEs REPORTED IN LUZON.

MANILA, Dec. 7.-More activity is
shown in the operations in Northern
and South LuZon. The reports from the
former district come in more quickly and
the telegraphic Interruptions are fewer.
Gen Funston, with Troop A, of the
Fourth cavalry, and a score of scouts,
last Thursday encountered 100 insurgents
posted on the opposite bank of the Ne
hico river. The Americans charged
across the stream as the enemy retreat
ed, firing from cover. They left four
dead on the field. A native who was
captured, reported that Fagin, desert
er from the Twentysfourth infantry, who
has been active with the Filipinos with a
party OF two cavalrymen, had been
wounded.
Lieut. Morro with fifty men from the
Forty-seventh regiments, attacked and
occupied Bulacan. While returning these
troops encountered Col. Victoris occupy
inc an entrenched position, with thirty
rifles and 800 bolomen. Lieut. Morro's
force charged and drove the enemy from
their position. it is believed, with heavy
loss. Preceding the fight the expedition
had captured Maj. Flores and several of
his folloWers.s
An engagement is reported to have oc-
CURED near San Rogue, in which, ac>
cording to natives, fifty rebels were
killed.
Several minor encounters and captures
are also reported The American cas-
uaities have been very slight.

the scene of more activity on the part
of the insurgents than formerly and a
company has been sent to reinforce the
battalion stationed there. The members

M'kINLEY'S CABINET.
DISCUSSION OF PHILIPPINE COIN
AGE AND THE REVENUE BILL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE cabinet
meeting today was largely devoted to
the discussion of the question of coinage
for the Philippine islands, and, as a le-
suit, it is probable that the secretary of
war Will ask hearing on the subject
before one of the committees of congress.
Nearly all the business of the islands is
tranacted in Mexican dollars, and amy
commissaries and others supplied with
United States money are at times greatly
embarrassed in making purchases from
the Filipinos by the fact that, knowing
nothing of our money or its value, the
latter often refuse to accept 1T.
The proposition which Seems to have
met with favor by the administration is
TO purchase silver bullion at the present
market price and coin it into distinctive
dollars having gold value of about 50
cents each. These dollars probably viii
contain little less silver than the pres
ent standard dollars.
The cabinet also discussed the house
bill revising the war revenue bill act,
which proposed a cut of about $4O,0O9t 100
IN the revenues.
There is no difference of opinion among
the members Of the administration on
this subject, all thinking that the cut Is
too deep and agreeing that it would be
tnwise in the extrerpe to make the cut
greater than $50, 100000.
