Washington, Juno II. 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. I believe that 0111
policy should bo aggressive and at the
same tlmo conciliatory, and iu all
probability wo shall bo obliged to de
vise special educational courses to meet
the conditions existing iu tlio islands."
Dr. Atkinson will leavo for San Fran

tho Philippines for several years at
least,
A NAVAL EXPERIMENT.
I'littlnc Wlrhli In Condition for Im
mmlluto Nervlco.
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.

Duluth, Minn., Juno 9 The entire
business and most of tho residence sec
tion of the town of Virginia, on the
Mosaba Iron rango, was wiped oat of
existence today about uoon, and It ouly
took CO minutes to do it. In that time
fully 105 buildings wero reduced to
ashes. Telegraphic communication
was cut off vory soon after tho first
nows of the lire camo, and was not re
sumed until this evenlug.
The nows tonight indicatos that it
was a veritable oyolono of firo. Tho
outirc country around is parched and
ready to burn. Tho flames broke out
at the Moon & Kerr mill, on tho shoie
of Sllvor lake, southwest of tho town.
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. Not
more than $124,000 insurance is car
ried in tho town.
A member of the San Francisco Mu

violating tho laws of the organization.
