WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Demo-

ference to-day to consider the question
of party policy on the various questions
before Congress. They have found them
selves following somewhat divergent
paths. No definite conclusion was reached
but general understanding OF the lines
to be pursued was had.
The Philippine policy attracted more att
tention than any other On this point
there was very general exchange of
views, the concensus of opinion evidently
favoring the policy outlined in Senator
Bacon's resolution of protecting life and
property In the islands until quiet Is re-
stored. when the United States shall pro-

In passing the order Judge Speer said:
ut is not the purpose Of the Court to

The enemy, having failed in their

determined attack upon our right

succeeded in capturing Nitral's Mex,
which was garrisoned by squadron of
Scots Greys, with two guns of Battery
+. royal artillery, and five companies OF
the Lincolnshire regiment.
The enemy attacked in superior
numbers at dawn and. seizing the hills
commanding the mex, brought heavy
gun fire to bear upon the small garri-
son.
"Nitral's Mex is about eighteen miles.

Scottish borderers. Before, however,
they reached the spot the garrison had
been overpowered and the guns and
a greater portion of the squadron of
greys captured, owing to the horses
being shot: also ninety men of the Line
coin regiment.
"A list of the casualties has not been
received, but I fear they are heavy.
simultaneously an attack was made
on our outposts near bridgeport, north
of the town, in which the Seventh
Dragons We're engaged. The regiment
was handled with considerable skill by
Lieut.. Col. Low. and Kept the enemy in
check until they retired on their sup
