men, 500 of whom were entrenched,
and in the face of a cross-fire.

The cavalry attacked a rebel strong

into Pateros.
Tho Americans had one man killed

Later tho enemy crossed the river

General Wheaton's brigade continues
the work of clearing out the rebels
around Pasig.
The Washington volunteers have
capturned and burned Pateros, meet
ing with a sharp fira from the enemy
while crossing the river.
Today's fighting was like that of the
last week, the inburgents occasionally
making a stand, but eventually fleeing.
Their loss is supposed to have been"
.small, as the Americans were unable
to see the enemy in the thickets.
The progress of the American ad

Official Story of Fight.
Washington, March 14. This
cablegram from General Otis was re
ceived at the War department today:
Manila. March 14. Adjutant Gen
eral, Wa-ihington: Until yesterday
field operations here since the capture
of Caloocan have been of a minor na
ture, consisting of driving back small
bands of insurgents, with considerable
loss to latter. Yesterday General
Wheaton, with the Twentieth and
Twenty-3econd infantry, the Oregon
and Washington troops, a section of
the Sixth artillery and a squadron of
the Fourth cavalry, attacked a large
force of the enemy, drove it bask and
took up its line on the Pasig river,
which he now holds. Two impro
vishea gunboats in the lake have cap
tured considerable property. Insur
gents' loss is heavy, our own killed
and wounded is slight, aggregating
thirty-five, mostly slightly wounded.
Insurgents made no determined stand.

Characteristics of the Csar.
To Nicholas II. lofty idealism comes
natural, but education or intuition has
wedded it to a rigorous sense of what
is practicable and worth striving for,
says Dr. E. J. Dillon in the Contem
porary Review. He takes an eminent
ly human view of all things human,
and is a firm believer in the wisdom of
adjusting means to ends. Hence his
er.sibility of intellect, his susceptibil
ity to new impressions and generous
impulses, is rendered beneficial or
harmless by his tenacious adherence
to traditional forms. He is keenly
sensible that no one man can grasp
all the elements of buch g. complicated
machine as the administration of a
mighty empire, and his felations to
wards his ministers are fcased upon a
frank recognition, of thi fact.. The
other day a petition or request of some
kind was laid before hin? for his de
cision. He read it, as usual, very
carefully, and as usual wrote his reso
lution on the margin. Having glanced
at the date of this document, and
found that if was some eight months
old, the tsar -rote a few words to the
effect that it should have reached him
long , before. His father would have
probably found out who was to blame
for the delay, and would have had a
warning administered to him on the
