No News Indicating any
Further Conflicts with
the Natives.
NOTHING FROM ILOILO.
It will l>e Several Day* llefore News of
Interest Is Heard from that Point—Otis
Will make No Terms of Interest with
Agtiiualdo while the Latter is Armed—
Alger Has sent no Instructions.
Washington, Feb. 10—Up to the
close of office hours General Otis sent
no news to the war department indicat-
ing any further conflicts with the na-
tives. He had a few casualties to re-
port, these in answer to enquiries from
anxious friends of individual soldiers
and he gave notice to the department
he has been obliged to buy a large num-
ber of horses to supply the transporta-
tion needed, owing to the lengthening
of the American lines. Otis reports he
mounted several troops of cavalry on
little native ponies with good results.
The same state of affairs still holds
good with respeet to the instructions of
General Otis. Alger said this-afternoon
that he had not sent any instructions
since the beginning of hostilities and
would semi none. He fully expects
Otis will make no terms with Agninaldo
while the latter is armed and a condi-
tion precedent to dealing with him at
all is the return of the insurgents to
their homes and the surrender of their
arms. Certainly Otis is not now ex-
pected to take any action that will
amount to a recognition of the insur-
gents as a foe to be treated with on the
basis of an independent nation.
There is also an absence of news from
Iloilo and there is reason to believe it
will be several days before any tiling is
heard from that point of interest .
A COMBINED ATTACK
llun ChIoih’HX Win* Cuplur.il In short
Order Willi Slight l.oiet.
Manila, Feb, 10, 7:40 p. m—The
American forces, at 0:40 this afternoon,
made a combined attack upon Caloocan
and reduced it in short order. At a
signal from the tower of De La Lome
church, the United States double tnr-
reted monitor Mouadnock opened -tire
from the bay with the big guns of her
fore turret on the earthworks with
great effect.
Soon afterward the Utah battery
bombarded the place from the latter
side. The reliels reserved their fire un-
til the bombardment ceased, wbeu they
tired volleys of musketry as the Mon-
tana regiment advanced on the jungle
The Kansas regiment, on the extreme
left, with artillery, deploying to the
right, charged across the opeh and car-
ried the earthworks, cheering, under
heavy fire.
Supported by the artillery at the
church, the troops further advanced,
driving the enemy, fighting every foot,
right into the town line.
Our men quickly penetrated to the
presidency and lowered the Filipino flag
at 5:80 p. m.
The enemy's sharpshooters in the
jungle on the right, fired at long range
on the Pennsylvania regiment, but the
rebels were soon silenced by Selirapnel
shells and the Pennsylvania remained
in trenches.
As the Americans advanced they
burned the native huts.
The rebels were mowed down like
grass but the American loss is slight.
FROM OTIS.
A Short. Dl*pat<*li to the Adjutant General
Dive* .*«ant Particular*.
Washington, Feb. 10. The follow-
ing dispatch from General Otis was re-
ceived to-night:
“Manila, Feb 10— Adjutant Gen-
eral; The insurgents collected in con-
siderable force between Manila and
Caloocan, where Agninaldo is reported
to be, and threatened to attack and
cause an uprising in the city. Tnis af-
ternoon 1 awnne the left of McArthur s
division, which is north of the Passig
river, into Caloocan, driving the enemy
easily. Our left is now at Caloocan.
Our loss is slight, that of the insurgents
considerable. Particulars in the morn-
ing. The attack was preceded by one
half hour’s firing from two of Admiral
Dewey's vessels. OTIS.”
PACIFIC CABLE.
The President'* Me**efce to CongrcrtM I r%-
iitic Hpeedy Action.
Washington, Feb. 10—The presi-
dent sent the following message to con-
gress today:
As a consequence of theratfication of
the treaty of Paris by the senate of the
United States and its expected ratifica-
tion by the Spanish government, the
United States will come into possession
of the Philippine islands on the farther
shores of the Pacific. The Hawaiian
islands and Guam being United States
territory and forming convenient stop-
ping places on the way across the sea,
the necessity for speedy cable communi-
cation between the United States and
the Philippine islands become impera-
tive.
Snch communication shonld be es-
tablished in such a way as to be wholly
under control of the United States whe-
ther in time of peace or of war. At
present the Philippines can lie reached
only by cables which pass through many
foreigu countries, and the Hawaiian isl-
and and Guam can only be communi-
cated with by steamers involving de-
lays in each instauce of at least a week.
The present conditions should not be
allowed to continue a moment longer
than is absolutely necessary.
The time has now arrived when a
cable in the Pacific must extend as far as
Manila, touching the Hawaiian islands
and Guam on the way. Two methods
of establishing this cable communica-
tion at once suggests themselves. First,
the construction and maintenance of
such a cable at the expense of the Unit-
ed States government, and second, the
construction and maintenance of such
cable by a private United States corpor-
ation under such safeguards as congress
shall impose.
I do not make any recommendation to
congress as to which of tnese methods
would be the more desirable. A cable
of the length that is proposed requires
so much time for construction and lay-
ing that i t is estimated at least two
years must elapse, after giving the
order for the [cable, before the entire
system could be successfully laid and
put in operation. Further deep sea
soundings must be taken west of the
Hawaiian islands before the best route
for a cable can he selected. Under
these circumstances it becomes a para-
mount necessity the measure shonld be
taken before the close of the present
congress to provide snch means as may
seem suitable for the establishment of a
cable system.
1 recommend the whole subject to
the careful{>eonsideratiori of congress
and to snch prompt action as may seem
advisable.

BALLOON FOUND
Dealt l*» it Three Dodi«*~, Supponed to he
Audree aud Hi* Companion*.
Krasnovach, Siberia, Feb. 10—A
gold mine owner named Monastyrschin
has received a letter saying that the
tribe of Tnrgosos, inhabiting the Timur
peninsula, north Siberia, recently ill-
formed the Russian police chief of the
district that on January 7, last, between
Koino and Pit. in the province of Yeni-
seisk, they found a cabin constructed of
cloth and cordage, apparently belong-
ing to a balloon.
Close by were the bodies of three men
the head of one badly crushed. Around
them were a number of instruments,
the uses of which were not understood
by the Turgis
The polic chief has started for the
spot to investigate and it is believed
that the bodies are those of the aero-
naut, Herr Audree and his two compa-
nions. The balloon Eagle, with Prof.
Andree and two companions, Strinde-
berge and Frenkel in her, left Danes Is-
land off the Spitzbergen group on July
11, 18118, in an attempt to cross the
north polar point. No definite news
of the aeronauts has been received be-
yond a message attached to a carrier
pigeon, found by the whaling ship Fal-
ken, which arrived at Copenhagen Sep-
tember 'J. The message read;
"July 18. 12:80 p m. latitude 82.02
north, longitude 12.04 east. Good voy-
age eastward. All well .”
MINING MOCKS.
The I*alM‘lla Declare* a Large Dividend-
Large Treit*ttry Kenerve.
Colorado Springs, Feb. 10 The
Isabella Gold Miuing Co., declared a
quarterly dividend today of six cents
per share amounting in all to $185,000.
The Isabella is now in the same rank as
the Portland, which pays two cents per
share per month and heretofore has
been the heaviest distributer of divi-
dends.
The return of the Isabella to the divi-
dend payers has been the sensational
feature in Colorado mining this year.
For the first eleven 111011 the of 18518 the
mine was operated at a loss but the dis-
covery of a large body of bonanza ore
has in two mouths made the company a
net profit of $250,000. The dividend
leaves $215,000 in the treasury not count-
ing February shipments.
The mining market here rules very
activo and the brokers and clearing
house are working day and night.
Prices are somewhat lower than last
Week, but it is thought they will
strengthen again next week by reason
of the unexpectedly big Isabella divi-
dend and the handsome treasury re-
serve.
American Wheelmen.
Providence, R. I , Feb. 10—To con-
tinue the control of bicycle racing, both
professional and amateur: to exclude
from membership, hut to allow them
representatives at the national assembly
and extending to President Kf-enan re-
presentation on the racing board, were
the main results of the 181)9 national
assembly of the League of American
Wheelmen, which finished its work in
this city this afternoon.
The racing question was, of course,
the all important one before the'jasseui-
bly, but so thoroughly had the ground
been over in the past and so well was
the situation understood, there was
scarcely any debate upon the question
and the proposition to divorce the
league from racing was overwhelming-
ly defeated.
Across Ihr Paillicln an Open lloat
Chicago, Feb. 10—A trip from Han
Francisco to Manila, across the Pacific
ocean, alone in an open sail boat will
be attempted by Captain Adolph Friet-
sch in the near future. Captain Friet-
sch, a navigator from Miiwankee, was
in Chicago today making arrangements
for the expedition. In 1894 be crossed
the Atlantic in 84 days and three hours
in the schooner "Nina," only forty feet
on the water line.
