sCHWAN'S EXPEDITION.
Description of the Publication of the
Province of Cavite.

PROVINCE Oh SaNlte.
The War Department has made public
General Schwan's report upon his expedi-
ton in the second week of October last in
the province of Cavite, which resulted in
the capture of Cavite Viejo. Novaleta, Ro-
sario, San Cruz, San Francisco de Malabon
and Las Marinas. This expedition, accord
ing to General Schwan, accomplished the
objects for which it was set on foot with
thoroughness and dispatch. The country
presented many difficulties. The streams
and roads Were generally lined by impene-
trable bamboo jungles, behind which the
enemy found perfect screens. The flankers
were obliged to traverse the rice swamps
and cane fields, progress was necessarily
slow and the country was an ideal one
for ambushes. The roads. however, pre-
sented the most serious obstacle, the mud
being SO deep in some places that it was
necessary to hold UP the heads of artillery
horses that had mired or fallen, to prevent
them from being suffocated.
The enemy, though assembled in large
bodies and occupying positions whose nat
ural strength had been still further in
creased by artificial means, was easily de-
feaced in a province in which he had
scored some of his greatest successes in
the rebellion against Spain. and where since
February 5, 1898, he had held almost undis-
puted sway.
The loss of the insurgents in the engage
ments our troops had with them from Oc-
tober to II, says Gen. Schwan, amounted
to not less than 100 killed and 400 wounded
This estimate rests on information derived
from two, it is thought, absolutely reliable
sources. The effect of the punishment is
evidenced by the quiet that has since its
administration prevailed on the south line,
where, as reported by an aid-de-camp of
General Grant, not shot has been fired in
fifteen days. Not a single house was
burned in the course of the expedition.
Five officers and fifteen enlisted men
were wounded in the various actions. OF
this number, three officers, viz: CaDts. San
ford, Geary and McGrath, have since died
of their wounds. The best possible care
was taken of the wounded by the medical
officers and enlisted men of the hospital
corps serving with the expedition; Mai
Refer, brigade surgeon. being especially
active and faithful in the performances of
his duties"

MIR. BUTLER ON THE CURRENCY.
FaSors the Use of Paper Instead of
Gold and Silver

Gold and Silver.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Wolcott's speech
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Butler of
North Carolina addressed the Senate on his
substitute bill. entitled "An~act to establish
unit of account
He maintained that under the Constitu-
ton Congress had unlimited authority to
manufacture money out of gold or silver
or paper. or of either of these, or of all of
them. He declared that there was but one
question in the making of money, and that
was how much?" Congress had authority
to make the money out of anything it de-
sired, and it happened that the wealthy
classes always desired it made of the dearer
material. No matter what the money was
made of, he said, the country would pros
per- provided Congress would so regulate
its supply as to meet the demands of bust
ness.
In conclusion Mr.. Butler said his amend
ment provided that the greenback-the pa
trioic friend of the people; the kind of
money that did not desert the people when
trouble came-should be used as money in
stead of gold or silver. In five years. he
said, the national debt could be extin-
guiShed. This plan was not received with
favor by those who control the finances of
the government, but he believed 1t would
be best for the people
At the conclusion of Mr.. Buffers speech
the Senate went into executive session and
at 0:10 pm. adjourned.

navy yard has reported to the chief of the
bureau of yards and docks that the recent
fire in building No. at that yard was a.
heavy blow, owing to the largo number of

The building was practically new, occupying
the site of one destroyed by fire about ten

department of the equipment bureau, and
for the records of the bureau of yards and
docks. Mr.. Assessor estimates the cost of

does not include the replacement of the
stock destroyed belonging to the equipment
bureau. An estimate for the replacement
of the building will be transmitted to Con-
