Forty-third regiment, was attacked
by rebels. Twenty of the Americans

in the Catubig church, which the en-
envy, numbering several hundred men,
surrounded and fiercely attacked. The
Americans fought for two days and
then the rebels managed to ignite the
roof of the church and il burned
away and finally fell upon those in

rendered to Gen. Young says that the
general, Tinio, holds this
belief.

opened with a lively and interesting
discussion. of the Quay case in the
course of which Mr.. Wolcott apolegized
for the language he had used the pre-

being offensive to anybody, least Of all
to his friend Mr.: Ledge. The Colorado
senator made a vehensat.and eloquent
appeal for early action upon the Quay
case. He was supported by other
friends Of Mr.. Quay and it was decided
finally to take up the case at once un-
der the unanimous consent agreement
made on March 16. In accordance also
with that agreement the Spooner bill
was made the unfinished business,
thereby bringing the Philippine ques-
ton to a direct issue in the senate.
