S.-A upeclal to the Tribune from Washington nays: Senator William K. Chandler hna Just iinliM a lrlef visit to Washington, re turning to his home In Nc-w Hampshire and expevtliw to remain In that state un til Hfler eleotlon. Before his oenarture the .enator said In relutlon to tho Phil ippine question: "Since the arrival In Washington of Senor AgoncllKt and his secretary. Senor Lopcx, of Manila, I have had several ex tended Interviews with Senor Agoncillo and huvo endeavored to fnmlllarlxe my self with his plans. He represents Pres ident Agulnaldo and tho parliamentary government, ut which he Is nt the head. His first desire Is that tho treaty of Paris shall provide that Spain 8ho.ll wnolly re linquish tho Philippines, tind, secondly, he Is anxious that the experiment of self government may be tried by the people of tho Islands, with the absent and assist ance of tho United States. It seems very clear that tho people of tho Islands will not again submit to Spanish rule, from which they ro now actually freed throughout nearly their whole territory, and. therefore, if the United States forces should bo withdrawn und Spain should at tempt to resiibdue tho islands, a bloody Btrugglo would ensue, the existence of which would dishonor the United States. Bsiiinlng such a withdrawal to be Impossible and that the United States wlU Insist upon tho surrender of Spanish sov ereignty, tho natural question would be, Are tho people capable of self govern ment, to which they aspire? That they nio so capable Senor Agoncillo asserts his belief and says that If, by any pogsl. blllty. It turns out that lie is mistaken, tho people will bo willing to be guided by tho United Stales to any other Just solu tion of the proWem of government which will arise upon the extinguishment of the power of Spain. "I hope that the American peace com mlssloncrs at Tarls will find It possible to accomplish the ono great object stated namely, the abandonment of the Islands by Spain. If thut can ba done I feel cor ! tain that there will be no serious dlffl cultle. eruounf rd In deciding further (Uotlon. that may .rite a. to tha con trol, governnwnt and dlpolton of the latand.. Judging by the tn.lght which I have been able to obtain from Senor Agoncillo Into the d-lre. and purpone. of Benor Agulnaldo and hla aaaodatea. BOMjIKIUI HOMK FKOM MANILA.

Minn., .: A terrific battle waa fought at 11 this morning SD miles from Walker, at Bog Me Ge. Shirk's Point, close to Bear Island. A detachment of 100 men under General Bacon was landed on the point shortly afier 1a.m. The landing was effecttd with considerable difficulty, owing to the bich sea. After landing, a sortie of the bush was made In all directions. Tbe soldiers went through the thick undergrowth very carefully, and with every precaution taaea against ambush. No Indians were seen until nearly 11 o'clock. The men were then ordered to line up In the open place near the shore of tbe lake, charges were drawn and prepara tions made for dinner. Tbe order to make coffee had been given and the soldiers were standing In column formation when the first shot was fired. It came from Bog Ah Me Ge Shirk's house. Ihe ball struck Edward Harris, ex-marshal of Walker, a half-breed, and nls arm was broken. Thai was the signal. Immedi ately the firing -became general from all directions. It seemed that shot came from every bush. Three ot General Ba con's men dropped. They were at once carried to the rear. On the very Instant that the first shot was heard every man In the command sprang for cover, without waiting for orders. Again there came a volley from the Indians, and this was what the troops had been wailing for. The KraK-Jorgensona opened up with a frightful rattle, and Just as tne Pillagers made a terrlfio rush, half a doxen of them dropped and the rest fell back, yell ing like fiends Incarnate. There must have been IX or 200 Indians. Lieutenant Morrison, with a squad of 20 men, made a rush to prevent the re capture of Old Mah Quod, a very choice scoundrel, and Bap Dway We Dung. The marshals had their men under arrest and the rescue would certainly have been ef fected but Lieutenant Morrison yelled "charge," and his squad scattered the copper-colored gang. By this time the troops were under cover. The Indians were firing In a desul tory way and the order was given to charge. The soldiers rose, uucklng and dropping like grasshoppers. They made the most of the opportunity. Suddenly a volley was fired by tho Indians ut the i.im PiorA. which lav off shore. A score of bullets tore their way through the frail wooden work of the boat and every man except tho pilot sought cover. Some biased awav In return with revol vers, but tha range was too long. A vol ley was then fired at the tug Chief, of Duluth. Inspector Tinker was shot through the leg and his oout sleeves were torn to ribbons by another ball. The Flora steamed for the agency, under or ders from Marshal O'Connor, who was on board, to assist the men under Lieutenant Humphrey, who had been left there. O'Connor escaped death oy a miracle. The Indians fired a volley directly at him, Brill, a newspaper correspondent, aiid also Benton, fought bravely with revol vers. The steersman of the tug Jennie started for reinforcements. On board were Marshal O'Connor, Deputy Morrlaos and Indian Agent Sutherland and the Indian prisoners. A guard of men under Corporal Nettokoven was sent with the Flora. She wilt return at one A mn Just In tells me that we lost four killed and trine wounded. FIGHT STILL IN TROGRESS. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1-A telegram re ceived at midnight from Walk.r, MIml, says: Tbe fierce flerht between the Indians an troops Is still In progress. Marshal O'Con nor report several fatalities among th. soldiers, but does not give the number. A special train Is coming from Bralnerd with 100 armed dtlxens. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct l.-Tbe direct trouble with the Pillager Indians cornea over attempts to bring In tome ot the In dians to the United States court at Da Itxh in connection with the Ilquor-selHng cases. Their grievance, go back thrpugk many years and there have been legis lative and other attempts to settle then, one of tbe latest being the Nebon law, regarding the sale of timber on India lands. However, the Indian claimed that the method of disposing of this waa botlx cumbersome and expensive, end that they were sufferers. In regard to serving a witnesses In the illegal liquor-selling caaea they claimed that deputy marshals left them to And their own way homo from Duluth, without having paid them the proper mileage. This is denied by the deputies. The trouble with the Pillagers Is due to the actions of an old warrior, Liog Ah Mah Ge Shlg, not chief, wha recently returned from court, and was roon afterwards sought again by the deputies. He alleged til treatment in be in turned adrift penniless In Duluth, and aroused other Indians to protest against the way he claimed to have been treated. The United States marshal Insists that the old man's story Is unfounded. EUROPE'S FRUIT CROP SHORT. NEW YORK. Oct 5. A special to the Tribune from Wasalngton says: , This Is a good year to send American fruits, epecially apples, to Germany. Europe's fruit crop 1 anything but good, according to Consul Monaghan, of Chem nitx. In a report to the state depart ment, he aays: If our merchants will not repeat the folly of former years ty sending poor fruit that decays easily they can com mand the markets for years against all efforts to dislodge them. If bald wins, greenings, russets and other hardy win ter apples are sent, the result will not remain doubtful. Other apples will not pay for transportation. Had our apple merchants made even a half hearted ef fort to enter this market In 1SK they would now be beset with orders. .80 seri ous Is the situation here because ot the dullness In gTain markets and so decided Is the downward tendency of profits la the empire that the farmers are turning to fruit to eke out an existence. The General Union of Agricultural Societies ha set Itself the task to bring about bet ter methods of handling fruits. Germans as a rule have gone In for quantity rather than quality, letting their fruit trees run to wood rather than to fruit If Amer ican fruits are properly selected, care fully packed and rapidly transported, there Is no reason why large and perma nent markets may not be openeu all ovx Europe.
