A disDtch to the Her Id from Manila ays: The form er Spanish gunboat La Guna de Bayoi steamed up tbe river opposite Macati tbia morning and opened fir on the insurgents on the opposite aide from Generl Wheaton's brigade. She Iliad her tour Uatling guns, two Noiden- feldts and one one pounder. At Brat the insureeuta replied with rifle fire, bnt they could not stand be fore the hail from the Gatlinirs. Tbe engagement lasted three-quarters ot an Hour, and then the insurgents scat tered, but as soon as th gunboat with- of their work there, the Americans would desire to abandon the policy. Tbey might grumble for a . time over the expense; but that would be a "mere flea bite" to a nation bo rich. Why not abandon some ot the ex. penses of the pension list, whioh seems so unreasonably large, if economy was necessaryl"- he asked. Even if a large navy must be built the United State can well afford one. So far as the fear of provoking foreign entanglements and wars went, while England and the United States stand together and main tain their present understanding, whioh ia practically an alliance, no combina tion of powers dare menace them. To govern colonies, the United State must organize a staff of colonial officials, but it can do that aa easily as it can organize a new navy.
