A 0ne-Sided Fight.

Manila, Dec. 5.-A dispatch
has been received from Gen.
Funston giving an account of a
two hours fight in the woods of
Santo Domingo between an
American force aud 800 rebels
commanded by Sandlco. The
American force, consisting Of
30 natives scouts, commanded by
Lieut.. Jernigan, attacked the
rebols, who retreated, leaving the
field ; 16 men killed, including
the rebel leader, Aguilar and an
American negro. 1t was at first
thought the latter was man
named Fagin, a deserter from the
Twenty.fourth infantry, but this
turned out to be a mistake. Not
one of Jernagin's men was
wounded.

Wilson on Forest Reserves.

Congressman Wilson secured the
adoption of his resolution calling
on the secretary of the interior for
information as to the workings
of the forest reserve law within
the railway land grants. MI.
Wilson in the course of his remarks
favoring the resolution made use of
the following startling figures:
The effect of this legislation is
therefore to permit Immigrant rail-
road companies to exchange land
of little or no value, in many in
stances, for land of very great
value, provided a forest reserve
has been made to include lands
granted to the company. This
right of lieu location has become
valuable, being worth, as | am in
formed, as much as IS acre, while
the land which it was exchanged for
was not worth, on an average more
than 80 cents an acre. The result t
of this exchange is therefore very
profitable to the Immigrant com
panies. -sa
In the State of Idaho, which l
have the honor to represent in this
House, forest reserves nave been
created, or are proposed, which
will include within their
limits lands heretofore granted to
railroad companies to the amount
of 100000 acres. These lands are
not worth to exceed 80 cents pei
acre, or 100000. The Northern
Pacific Railroad Company will
be entitled to receive lieu forest,
reserve scrip, or right of lieu
location for this land which
has a market value Ot 50 per acre.
The exchange, therefore, to this one
company in this one state i:
worth $S,6OO,OOO. The people Of
Idaho have never asked that any OF
these reserves be created. On the
contrary, many of them have pro
tested against their creation, and
their representatives have verbally
and in writing protested againsl
such creation ferrle

which will be expended in Porto
