ANOTHER ATTACK ON SAN FERNANDO. Another attack was made on San Fernando by the Insurgents on Thursday last, and although there was net such an extend line of attack as before, there was a very lively fight in a smaller section. The lowa's and the 17th Infantry were engaged. The previous day had passed quietly enough and apparently things settled down for a quiet night, when, about 7.15 pm, the insurgents along and across the Mexico road opened fire on the outposts of the. Iowa's, who quickly returned the fire and were. promptly reinforced by other companies; three of the Utah's guns also being sent out. By this time the attack lad extended, along to the left of the 17th Infantry, where they were met by a wann reception from that regiment

There was evidently a large force of the ar tacking party, and for some time they were at close range, but they were not able to withstand the steady, wearing volleys that were continu ally poured into them, aided by the artillery. After about an hour's fight they lost their cour age and retreated into the distance. Owing to the darkness no attempt was made to advance beyond the line of outposts. The casualities on our side were two men slightly wounded: Private Alberi E. Davis, Co. D, 17th Infantry, and Wm. O, Carroll, unusician, Co. E.

As no advance was made, the, loss of the in- surgents could not be ascertained, but owing

It has been reported from the front that the Insurgents have received large reinforcements and are concentrated at San Fernando, where they are strongly entrenched.

It is hoped by the troops in that quarter that with this acquisition to the Filipino strength ther will once again suster suficient courage to attack the American lines, when they may depend upon a warm reception and a hearty welcome from the boys, who are spoiling for a fight. Indeed from the signs of activity in the" rebel camp it is momentarily, expected that general attack will be delivered,

Whilst the wife of an officer in the commissariat and her niece, the daughter of an army captain, were walking in the Tier- garten on fay 1st, the younger of the ladies happening to see a friend's dog at large called the animal and began to caress it. Hereupon a mounted policeman, riding up, ondered the ladies to 'put their dog on the chain," and, disregarding their explanation that the dog did not belong to them, which was confirmed by witnesses present, marched them both to the Lutzow Quay Police-station, on the road to which the ladies were frequently insulted in the crowded streets of the capital. At the police station the wife of the commissariat officer de- manded to be placed in telephonic communi- cation with her husband. This scided matters to the extent of procuring the liberation of the prisoners, but they will still have to appear af the police-court to prove their non-ownership of the dog. The incident has caused a good deal of popular indignation against the police.

They stated that they were tired of fighting and hungry, and wanted to go home. Lieutenant Webster therefore gave the order to provide the whole show with a square meal and turn them loose Such an example, of mercy shown to such of the enemy whose desire is for peace is sure to exercise a good Influence over all the rest and may induce many to lay down their arms and go home in редсе.

It did not make it because, to put it plainly, it was not actuated by the high and honorable spirit of a purely military court, but, permitted itself to be controlled, both in its mauser of taking testimony and in drawing up its report, by political and personal consider ations of grossly improper and unworthy nature. It plainly felt that its primary duty was to shield Alger and within the limits of prudence to gratify his spite against Miles,

The court was simply compelled to find that the charges that the canned fresh beef was unfit for nu army ration were sustained. It would not do to sustain Miles's charges, that the refrigerated beef was embalmed, and in carrying out its determination to find those charges unsustained the court has the hardi. hood to find, in effect, that Dr. Daly and the many other witnesses who, testified that the beef had been treated with chemicals, must. have lied, because a good many other witnesses said nothing about chemicals. By this desper ate cxpedient the court is able to report that this charges is not substantiated; and then it proceeds to censure the general couhanding the any for not reporting to the Secretary of War facts which it solemnly declares did not exist."
