Porhaps the most thrilling and picturesque incident of tlio entire Philippine war occurred at Catuhig, on tho island of Sainar, where, April IB hist, a party of 81 on listed men of company K, Forty-third volunteers, held at bay a lorco of somo (100 insurgents during four days of fierce 'Igliting, reinforcements arriving just 1 tho nlok of tlmo. Tho war depart ment has received repot ts from Captain II. M. Day, of the Forty-third volunteer infantry, and First Lieutenant J. T. Sweeney, of that regiment, who com manded the rescue party, giving nil tho details of tho attack, siego and the relief. According to tho reports the attack on tho garrison at Catubig began with out warning, Sunday morning, April 15. From tho hills on all sides, from Bvery point of vantage in tho town and from a deserted church diroctly adjoin ing came a rillu and cannon lire of ter rible intensity. Tuesday morning, hand Tula of burning hemp were thrown into the barracks from the insurgents in tho church and soon tlio soldiers' rofngo was on lire. All efforts to sub duo the fire failed, and, finally, tho lit tle band, made a dash for tho rivor bank. Somo were killed boforo tho bank was reached, others fell dead in a boat in which it was Intended to make tiio opposite shore, nnd whon a trench was finally dug with bayonets, only 10 of tlio !J1 wero loft to man it. Horo, for two moio ilnys, Corporal Car sou, handling his men with tho judg ment of a veteran, hold out under a terrible II ro until the arrival of Lieu tenant Sweenej 'a command, which had bcou ordered to supplement the garri son at Catubig, and which was on its way up the river on tho steamer Lao Aug. Not until within n quarter of a milo of Catubig, says Lieutenant Sweeney, in his report, did tiiey hoar the noise of the engagement. Then ho realized that lie ami his men wero sore ly needed and he ordered tho captain of the steamer to run his boat at top speed. Tlio Lao Aug steamed up to Catubig under a rain of Mauser bullets from both hhores. The small boats wero lowered, a landing effected, and tho rescuers fought their way through tho opon to tlioir comrades in tho trenches, buried tho dead within reach, brought back to the boat tho besieged party, numbering now only 13 men, and then steamed down tho river.

"Tho education problem in tho Philippines," said Dr. Atkinson, at tlio Auditorium last night, "is most complex. I would not caro to outline a plan until I havo nriived on tlio ground and studied tho situation. So far as I have been able to learn, the people of tho islands aro apt and eager to learn, but I nm convinced that some special courso of study will havo to be introduced. From advices which 1 have received from Manila, I learn that Father McKinnon, an ex-Chaplain in tho Unitod States army, has estab lished sovoral schools, and -$-10,000 has heon spent in tho purchase of text books. "As nearly as I can lonrn, 5,000 Fil ipino children are attending the school in Manila alone.

Washington, Juno 0. Secretary Long has Issued an ordor for nn experi ment of tho utmost importnnco to the navy. The purpose is to see how much tlmo would bo occupied in putting into condition for activo naval service a part of the United States fleet to meet an emergency. Tho vessols selected for tho oxperi nient are tho battle-ships Indiana and Massachusetts, now laid up in ordinary at Lcaguo Island, with a skeleton organization of oillcersand men aboard. Captain Dickens commands tho Indiana and has six olliceis and nbout 150 men under him. Tho Massachusetts is under command of Captain Train, with four officers and about 150 Bailors. Orders havo been telegraphed Admiral Casoy, tho commandant of the League Island yard, and tlio two captains abovo named, to put tho ships into con dition for immediate service, to last at least 00 days. No notice has been pre viously given of tho department's in tention. Hy the terms of the order tho ships must clear League Island inside of three days. Tho oflicers who have projected the experiment hope to do better than that. Tho ships each havo about C50 tons of coal aboard, but must be supplied with food, maps, bedding, ammuni tion, eto. The hardest question to deal within the preseut straits of the navy is that oi personnel. Oificers woro wired at once, and it was necessary to rob somo of thu bureaus of the navy department of much-needed assistance. The officer most temoto from League Island is Lieutenant Wilson, at Bos ton, so thnt all of them should be aboard ship by tomorrow night. Tho Hartford's crew, now at Norfolk, has been ordered to leave tonight for League island, and from her numerous crew the complements of the Jndiaua oud the Massachusetts will be brought to tho standard. About 300 men and 12 oilicers will bo required for each battleship. CYCLONE OF FIRE. Ton on tlio MeaHbn Iron Itnnge Wlpeil Out.

The main business section of tho city Is about 11 vo blocks from tho mill, and over this intervening territory tho flames spread florooly, carried diroctly to the busiuess buildings by a fierce southwost wind. Within nn hour it had carried everything between tho mill and the railroad station, eight blooks away. Tho path of the flames was as olean out as that of a oyolono. Tho territory over which the flro traveled covered about 12 blocks, about nine of which were thiokly built up. Tonight there is not n businoss house, hotol or store standing in Virginia. Tho rosidonco portion of the town was only partially burned. Tho sohool house is untouched, as nlso aro most of tho churches. Tho loss is estimated nt $500,000.
