Manila, March 21.—Some of the rebels recently expelled from Cavite and the small towns in the vicinity ol Pasig combined forces and last night, as already cabled, attacked a company of the Washington volunteers, a de tached post at Taguig, about a mile and a half southeast of Pasig. Gen eral Wheaton immediately reinforced the Americans with two companies each of the Washington and Oregon regiments. The post bad held the enemy in check, and the fire of the re enforcing companies repulsed them, driving them across to an island formed by the estuary. They were thus in front of the Twenty-second regulars. On discovering that they were en trapped the rebels fought desperately, aided materially by the jungle and the darkness, but they were completely routed, with heavy loss, after two hours’ fightir.g. The Americans lost two killed and 20 wounded, among the latter Lieutenant Frank Jones. General Wheaton determine I to pun ish the ntives, and at daybreak today his brigade started in the following or der: The Sixth artilleiy, holding the extreme right; the Oregon volunteers, holding the center, the Washington regiment keeping to the edge of the lake, and the Twenty second regulars, occupying the right of the line, which swept the whole country along the lake within a southeasterly direction, to ward General Overshine’s position. The line thus extended over two miles of country, rough and covered with thick jungle, advanced eleven miles. The enemy fled, the last of them being seen about 3:30 this afternoon. At scarcely any time did the Americans get within 1,200 vards of them.

Washington, March 22.—The Brit ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, conferred today with Secretary Hay in reference, it is understood, to a modus vivendi to be observed along the Alaska border in order to obviate the possi bility of a clash, pending the final de limitation of the border. The need of this has been emphasized within the last few days by reports of a battle between the Canadian and the American prospectors on the Procupine river. Theee repoits have caused con siderable uneasiness in official circles in London, and efforts have been made to learn the facts. There has been no official information, however, either here or in London. Just such a clash has been expected, and tbeieports have served to direct the attention of officials of the need of effecting a border ar rangement. The preliminary move in this direction was made as soon as the Anglo-American commission adjourned without settling the border question. Sir Julian then suggested that a tem porary arrangement be made. This would maintain the status quo, each side making no further advance pend ing a final agreement on the boundary. A temporary line probably will be run by the two governments. This would not affect permanent interests, but would serve as a legal barrier be tween the lawless fortune-seekers in that locality. The plan is favorably received on both sides, and is likely to be carried into effect, although no agreement has been entered into thus far. Some important statements concern ing the boundary line situation are given in official correspondence now on file in the state and interior depart ments, which has nevei been made public. Governor Brady, of Alaska, as long ago as the latter part of February called attention to the extremely threatening condition of affairs. February 21, Governor Brady, who was here, had a conference with both Secretary Bliss, who was then just leaving the cabinet, and Secretary Hay, in which he urged that the aggressive acts of the Cana dians should be promptly met. PRISON CABLE. Evidence That It ’V.l l.ed Blowing l'p the Malu«. la Havana, March 22.—Captain T. L. Huston, of the volunteer engineers, was questioned today by a press corre spondent on the subject of the story printed by a local newspaper at Cincin nati, saying that the location of the keyboard by which the United States battle-ship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, had been found by him in a gunroom of the Foerza prison, while engaged in cleaning out the fortifications. The captain said the use of his name io this connection was not authorized. He showed the correspondent a cable with several wires running into the harbor from Foerza prison, opposite Cabanas fortress. One wire was connected with a disused telegraph instrument in a neighboring government building. Though the cable has not been investi gated by the United States engineers, the supposition is that it tuns to Ca banas, across the harbor, and has been used for telegraphing. There is a re mote chance that the wires in the cable were connected with mines or torpedos, but there is no indication that it had anything to do with the blowing up of the Maine. The end of the cable sticking out of Foerza prison jias been seen by tourists for weeks past. Many soldiers have also seen the cable, and many have expressed the belief that it was used to blow up the Maine PAPER MONEY 4 SCARCE. Due to Greater Volume of Business, Not to Decrease In the Supply. Washington, March 22.—Controller of the Currency Dawes, in answer to inquiries today in regard to the ap parent scarcity of paper money, said. "The chief reason for the growing demand for paper money is unquestion ably the increase in the general volume of business. There has been no re duction in the amount of paper money which of itself would cause scarcity. The situation in reference to bills is brought about by the increased demand and not by a decrease in the supply. "The amount of paper money in cir culation March 1, 1899, is much gieat- er than it was one year ago. While- the decrease in circulation in the amount of gold certificates is *3,475,- 950, in treasury notes, *4,269,971, and currency certificates *25.325,000, the circulation of silver certificates has in creased in the sum of *16,113,278, and United States notes *44,141,212, mak ing the total net increase of govern ment paper in circulation *27,195,569, which, added to the increase of *18,- 155,325 in national bank circulation, makes the total increase of paper money in circulation over one year ago,. *45,350,904.” Washington, March 20.—The navy department is taking steps toward the formation of a mosquito fleet for the Philippines. The conditions now pre vailing in Luzon indicate that for a long time it will be necessary to main tain a strict police of the coast and in land waters. For the inland work, especially, the department will need some very light-draught boats. For this work the big ocean tugs that formed the mosquito fleet that operated around Cuba during the blockade, and of which the government lias a num- ber, are now being looked over with a view to just this service. Some of them are on the Pacific coast. The department has figured out a CJasting voyage that will take them up the Alaskan coast, coaling at Sitka, to Unalaska and Cook inlet, thence down through the Aleutian islands to Hako date, the northern point of Japan, from wheie they can make the run across the China sea down to Hong Kong and thence to the Philippines.
