in the splendid campaign now being made
III southern LuZon by Gen. Schwan.
The admiraFs dispatch refers to the en-
gagement, or rather series of engage
ments, which took place along the east
ern and southern shores of Lake Taal
week ago. There is no outlet from Lake
e1aal into the sea narigable for warships,
but the Marietta took up position. close
to the narrow neck of land which sepa-
rates the lake from the sea, and threw
shells across into the insurgents de-
lenses. 49,
The admiral's account of the affair is
as follows:
The Marietta, with Gheen commanding,
on the 18TH co-operated with the army in
the~capture Of Taal; enfilsded the insurgent
,rencnes at about 1000 yards. Lieut.. Price
ah ha taN with Cot gun Gheen reports that
ger MAJ. Johnston, carried the bridge and
town tow very CALAMITY, facing artillery and
rife fire. 80
The Forty sixth regiment, referred to
abeye, contains a company commanded
by Capt John II. Baker of Madison and

Horeb, Madison and Mendoza.
War a. an End.
New York, Jan. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The war in
the Philippines is over. No further sur
render can be hoped for.
The danger in the present situation is
that bloody feud may arise between the
American army and the Filipinos This
danger can be greatly lessened by action
by congress, which is now impera tive
outlining the policy of the government in
the Philippines.
IL is likely that many insurgents are
sun holding ont for the very terms which
Congress. will be willing to give The
time is ripe for conciliatory policy, al
towing the Flhpinos to have some say as
which they will be obliged to live.
