With Heavy Loss. Maiiila, -'March 15.-12:40 p. m. Gen eral Wheaton's brigade continues, the work uf clearing out the rebels around Pasig. The 'Washington volunteers have captured and burned Pateros, meeting with a sharp fire from the ene my while crossing the river. Today's fighting was like that of the past week, the insurgents occasionally making a stand, but eventually flee ing. Their loss is supposed to have been small, as the Americans were una ble to see the enemy in the thickets. The progress of the American advance is slow. 4:40 p. m. General Wheaton, com manding the United States flying col umn, attacked and defeated a force of 2,000 Philippinos at Pasig this after noon, inflicting a heavy loss urjon them. The American loss was slight. The Americans captured 350 Philip pinos. Many bodies of rebels killed in the engagement are floating down the river. 6:55 p. m. Private Fernoff, of Com pany L, Twentieth regiment, was killed. The wounded are: Private Newman, Company F, Twentieth regiment; Pri vate Carroll, Company A, Twenty-second regiment; Private Marshall, Com pany li, Twenty-second regiment; Pri vate Coombs, Company C, Twenty second regiment; Private Rogers, Com pany L, Twenty-second regiment. About 350 Philippinos surrendered at the town of Taguig to the Washing ton regiment and 175 Philippinos were captured at Pasig by the Twentieth regiment. Our troops found 106 dead Philippinos and 100 new graves near Pasig. The prisoners were unarmed and, therefore, it is presumed they ex ecuted their threat of throwing their arms into the river. London, March 15. The Evening News this afternoon publishes the fol lowing dispatch from Manila: "General Wheaton has completely routed the Philippinos and has occu pied Pasig, Taguig and Pateros. Sev eral hundred of the enemy were killed and as many were captured. General Otis says this is the greatest victory since February 5th. The Americans will not press toward Aguinaldo's head quarters." Washington, March 15. The follow ing dispatch was received this morn ing from General Otis: "Manila, March 15, 1899. "Adjutant General, Washington: "Three thousand insurgents moved down last night to towns of Pasig and Pateros on the shore of Laguanda bay fronting Wheaton's troops on the Pasig river line. By heavy fighting Wheaton has dislodged and driven them back, taking 400 prisoners and inflicting heavy loss in killed and wounded. He reports his loss as very moderate; he now occupies these towns with suffi cient force to hold them. ' OTIS." Los Angeles, Cal., March 15. A tele gram to The Times from Major General Harrison Gray Otis, dated Manila, March 15, says: "The Twentieth infantry had an all day fight at Pasig. Three thousand rebels werevencountered and defeated. They were routed with heavy loss. Our loss was small. Three hundred and fifty rebel soldiers were made pris oners. Wheaton's brigade now holds the towns of Pasig and Pateros. This news is based upon official information. Our river gunboats fought their way into the lake." THE SITUATION IN HAVANA. Havana, March 15. General Gomez has decided to proceed with the plans agreed upon for distributing the $3, 000,000 to the Cuban troops on disband ing, as though the military assembly did not exist.- He conferred for two hours today with Governor General Brooke regarding details. General Brooke asked Washington several days ago whether in case he dissolved the assem'biy if his action would be approved. The cabled reply authorized him to dissolve that body, if, in his judgment, such an act was necessary. He hopes the assembly will soon cease of its own accord to hold its sessions, but should sessions disquieting to the public mind continue, he will intervene, , Havana is much more quiet today and less excitement is noticeable. This is partly due to the fact that the as sembly held no meeting. Rumors are current that its self-dissolution is a matter of the early future. At a meet ing this morning the Cuban Generals Diaz Robau, Monteaguado, Nodarse, Peraza and others decided to join with General Pedro Betancourt, the com mander of the Cuban troops in Matan zas, in a public declaration of their position. La Discussion understands that they will side with General Gomez. The pa pers continue to print letters and tele grams from all points declaring adher ence to the veteran patriot's cause. The United States military authori ties publish the following statement: "We are officially authorized that the president of the United States will not recognize any obligation incurred by the body known as the Cuban assem bly, and that all reports and assertions to the contrary are absolutely untrue." This is perhaps due to a story pub lished in the newspaper El Reconcen trado to the effect that a representa tive of an American syndicate includ ing Senator Hanna i3 now here with a view of making a loan to the assembly. There have , been six resignations from the assembly since Sunday Gen- ral3 and Senores Cespedes, Montea gudo, Nunez, Leira, Mola and Tamayo. This afternoon's demonstration in avor of Gomez in which all the pa triotic clubs, with banners and bands as well as many women and children, took part was better organized than that of Monday, though not so spontan eous. Several thousand people parad ed to the Quinta de los Molinos, where General .Gonez resides. He made his appearance a"hd addressed them, and the procession did not return until after night fall. THE DESTITUTION IN CUBA. Jacksonville, Fla., March 15. Wil lard HowTard, general manager of the Cuban Industrial Relief fund of New York, passed through Jacksonville this evening on his way home from Cuba. He goes north to purchase agricultu ral implements and seeds for the use of the industrial relief station which he has just established at Guines, Cu ba. Mr. Howard said: "The condition of Cuba, so far as my observations have gone, is really worse than it was at this time last year, when I made my first investigations. In the rural districts little has been done to restore the island to its normal condition. The fields are vacant and the farmers idle. The people etill re main in the towns and cities where army rations are issued to them. They cannot return to their abandoned farms because they have nothing to return with. "Our government has done, and is i doing nothing to enable farmers to re ! sume the cultivation of their lands. All ; that it pretends to do is to distribuate j rations through local committees of Cu i bans. Governor General Brooke and j the officers under Trim realize keenly j the condition of -things, but they can not give auy assistance except food. Ours is not" a paternal government, j "The condition of the wfdows and or phans of Cuba is heartrending. There are thousands upon thousands of these poor creatures scattered over- the is land. They have neither homes to live in; food to eat, nor clothes to cover them. One cannot .think of their' future without a shudder. I am especially con cerned for the poor little orphan girls who roam the streets, scantily clad, asking for a bit of food with which to keep their little bodies and souls to gether. What will become of these girls? Their future for good or for evil lies with the people of the United States "Among these widows and orphans I have as lately as last week seen indi vidual cases of destitution and physical emaciation worse than anything that I saw in Armenia during the two years that I gave to Armenia relief work. And to have these wrecks of humani ty stand and look up to the Stars and Stripes waving over their city hall, gives one a queer sensation. The gen erous American people surely cannot understand the condition of Cufta, or these poor creatures would be taken care of. "I do not speak of the sick, tne in firm or of those who hobble about, cov ered with loathsome sores, resulting from starvation. I cannot speak of them for the English language is in adequate to the task. They should have been cared for in hospitals long months ago. Why it Ihas not been done I cannot understand. "The condition of Cuba is a reproach to the American people and a blot upon civilization. We are going to do some thing to improve that condition and we invite all lovers of humanity in the United tSates to help us for the good name of the American flag. Our flag should mean something to those home less, helpless orphan and destitute peo ple. "Money for these orphans or for our industrial relief work should be sent to the Continental Trust Company, No. 30 Broad street, New York city, marked "For the Cuban Industrial Re lief fund.'" SIXTH ITI7IITNES DISBANDED The Soldiers Leave !f or Their Homes ITlany of Them From North Carolina Savannah, Ga., March 15. The Sixth United States volunteer infantry (im- munes), was mustered out here today. ; It was a white regiment. The men . were from -North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. In consequence of the regiment having seen service in Porto Rico, the men received two months extra pay. They were paid this morn- . ing. Each private received an average of $125. Discharge papers were given the men at the time they got their wages. Five special trains over foul roads left the city tonight for the ac commodation of the ex-soldiers. Dtrr ing the day the men behaved excellent ly. As one train was pulling out to night there was a liberal discharge of firearms. It was reported that there had been a riot and that the regulars -had been ordered out but that was in correct. It seems that some of the men in exuberance of gladness at having escaped military discipline celebrated by firing pistols into the air and shout ing. About 100 shots were fired. No damage and noarrest made.- Four of the trains left with utter absence of boisterous demonstration. There, was a minimum of drunkenness and no " disorderly conduct of any sort in the city. ' M GUEST OF HON OR j ! At the Banquet ot tbe Association of the Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom He Replies to tbe Toast "Our Guests" His Reference to the American agle and the British Lion and the Friendly Relations Be tweeu the Two London, March 15 Joseph H.Choate, the "United States ambassador to the court of St. James, made his first pub lic appearance in England at the ban quet of the association of .chambers of commerce of the United Kingdom, which was held at the Metropole hotel this evening. There was a brilliant and distinguished gathering, about 250 persons having been invited to meet the ambassador, including the lord chief justice of England, Baron Russell, of Killowen; the Hon. Sir Henry Stafford Northcote, the president of the asso ciation; the prime minister, the mar quis of Salisbury; the earl of Jersey, the earl of Dartmouth, Lord Reay, Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, the Rt. Hon. C. T. Ritchie, president of the board of trade; James R. Carter, second secretary of the United States embassy, and many members of par liament. Mr. Choate, who, on arriving, was heartily welcomed by the chairman officials of the assembly, sat in the place of honor, on the right of the chairman. President Harper submitted the toast of "Our Guests," coupled with the names "of Mr. Choate and Baron Rus sell of Killowe"n. He expressed his keen pleasure at the advent of Mr. Choate at a time "when there is every dispo sition to tighten the bonds of the Anglo-Saxon, race, whose only objects are peace, prosperity, freedom of trade and progress." The toast was received with loud nhpprs. thf romnanv standincr and sboutlne the name of Mr. Choate -Who was thrice cheered. Mr. Choate, on ris i.T i j - ing to respond, received an ovation. The United States ambassador began jokingly, protesting that he was over whelmed with embarrassment at being called upon to respond in priority to the chief justice. He felt that when the British lion was about to roar, even, the American Eagle should hold his peace. He was delighted, he said, to receive and accept the invita tion to the banquet, although he was not at liberty to discuss British com merce. His general instructions from his government wrere not to discuss, but display only at extraordinary festal occasions. (Laughter.) Continuing, Mr. Choate said: "I have felt, however, that I might properly avail myself of this first public occa sion to express the appreciation of my countrymen for the forbearance, good will and friendship manifested to them freely by the British people. It is true, gentlemen, that peace between the United States and Great Britain is the first interest, not only of these two na tions, but of the whole world." In expressing his gratitude for the cordial greeting he had received from all sorts and conditions of men since his arrivel in England, Mr. Choate said: . . "Everywhere I have been treated aa a friend and as the representatives of your friends and brothers. In fact, I have actually discovered the open-door, open to such an extent as would satisfy even the yearnings of the rear admiral who has made the circle of the globe in search of it. I think I may say, as a testimony to the good feeling sought to be encouraged on our side of the water, that the president gave the best illustration pf it when he said, in my letter of credence, that he relied with confidence-'upon my constant endeavor during my stay in Great Britain to promote the interest and prosperity of both nations." (Cheers and cries of "Bravo.") Alluding to the satisfactory dispell ing of the cloud between Russia and England over the Niu Chwang railway extension loan, by means of peaceful diplomacy, Mr. Choate said: "That is the kind of diplomacy which I, just entering upon diplomatic career, desire very much to understand, for I am fresh enough to believe that if these two countries, laboring together for peace, united their voices in de manding it, it is almost sure in every case. (Cheers.) "I would like to quote my president again; for the last words I heard him say were that the United States today was on better terms with every na tion on the face of the earth than it had ever been before." (Cheers.) After paying eloquent tributes to the late Baron Herschell, and to Rudyard Kipling, Mr. Choate concluded as fol lows: "Gentlemen, we are almost one peo ple. What I say is let our voice al ways be lifted together for the-cause of human progress and the advance meat of civilization; and my word for It, if that can always be followed, why then law, order, peace and freedom, which are the nurses of commerce the world over, will prevail and the cause of humanity wilh- be advanced." (Cheers.) Mr. Choate spoke deliberately and in rather a low tone. His humorous re marks met with peals of laughter. He had a wonderful reception, made quite the speech of the evening which was listened to with, the deepest attention I and resumed his seat amid thunders of applause, Lord, Russell personally con- l LOST IN THE RED, SEA! la Tow by a BriUsn Steamer, bat Lost ' Sight ot Just Before a Storm Xot Since Heard of On a Three Year Crulte Around tbe World With a ' . Pleasure Party on Board - One of tbe Party ! a Lady From Greensboro, X c Washington, March 15. United States Consul i Cunningham at Aden, Arabia, reports to the state depart ment that the commander of her maj esty's ship Brisko has picked up, but lost again, a small American yacht or schconer after towing her about 250 miles ia the western part of the Red , sea. There was afterwards rough weather and it was believed to be" pos sible that the yacht had gone aground somewhere, as she 7as much overdue. Her name was unknown, t -t the Brit ish officer said she had aboard a man from New York named Weaver. The consul on February 22nd received a cablegram from one Percival at Colom bo, Ceylon, asking for news of the yacht Norna. New York, March 15.The Ameri can yacht referred to in the dispatch from Washington as having been pick ed up and lost again in the western part of the Red sea by the British cruiser Brisko. is undoubtedly the old racing schooner Norna, designed by A. Carry Smith in 1888 and at one time known as one of the "wettest" yachts in the New York yacht squadron. In October 1896 the Norna was fitted out for a cruise around the world, her passengers having the intention of "writing up" foreign countries and photographing picturesque scenes. R. , A. Morris, a Nova Scotian, was LoYT siven charge or the Norna. sne hoist f eflrhe flag of the Atlantic Yacht Club .i t i XTrt vember 2, 1896. The party on board the Norna, in addition to ' Mr. N. J. Weaver, a New Englander, who engi neered the Echeme, consisted of Mrs. C. C. Collins, of Greensboro, N. C; Dr. T. A. Worrall, of Northeast, Indiana; A. C. Danforth, Jr., of St. Louis, Mo.; Harry P. Taber, of Buffalo, N. Y. and K. P. Newcome. At the time the Norna sailed from New York statements were published to. the effect that from the point of view of an expert sailor the schooner was not exactly fitted for her trip around the world One of the passengers on the Norna is reported to have said to a reporter on October 19, 1896: "Each of us goes to hades our own road, and darn the expense." Captain Morris is understood to have left the Noma before she sailed and it is presumed that his reason for doing so was that he did not believe her to be equal to the task of fighting her way around the world. .When the schooner sailed her itiner ary was, roughly as following: She was to touch at Baltimore, Charleston and Jacksonville thence to the Bermu dr,6 and Azores islands and thence to Cadiz and Tangier, through the straits : of Gibraltar to the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia. The Adriatic sea was next to be visited and the Nor na was then to cruise around the coast of Greece to the Aegean sea, the Bos- -phorus, the Black sea, Southern Rus sia, Asia Minor, Egypt and Tunis, the north east of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, Madagascar, the Indian ocean, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian sea, Ceylon, Sumatra, Java, Australia, the South Sea islands, China, Japan and nearly every other place of the habi table globe. The Norna is a wooden schooner pf about eighty-five tons. She is 105 feet, 8 inches long over all and 95 feet 2 in ches on the water line. She has 21 feet, "7 inches beam and draws 11 feet, 3 inches of water. N. J. Weaver is reg istered as her owner. Not to Discriminate Against American Oil London, Mrch 15. In the house of commons tody Mr. Harold James Reckitt, liberal, moved the second reading of the bill raising the flash point of petroleum from 73 to 100. In so doing he said that it would not add appreciably to the cost,as a responsible firm had offered to supply oil at 100 flash poin at only half a cent per gallon dearer than the present price. Mr. Henry Kimber, coservative moved the rejection of the bill on the ground that it wa3 "veiled protection at the expense of American oils." Mr. Rodbert Grant Webster, conser vative, asked how the bill would be considered in the United States, add ing: "We ought not to injure a nation which is at presenfbecoming more and more friendly towards us." The bill was rejected 244, to 159. Grip makes one fick, wcarv ?,d r?-!ess.

Smallpox continues to spread in this state. Up ! to tonight its appearance has been re- ; ported in twenty counties of the state. The latest cases reported are from Guilford, Moore and Warren. The counties in which cases have been re- i ported to the state board of health are Currituck, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Gates, Bertie, Tyrrell. Edgecombe, Warren, Wayne, Johnston, Wake Ala mance, Guilford, Buncombe, New Han over, Northampton, Columbus, Halifax, McDowell and Moore. So rapidly is the disease assuming j th proportions of an epidemic that i the state board of health has appoint-- ed a smallpox inspector. Dr. Henry F. , Long, who successfully treated seven- ty-five cases in Iredell county last j summer, was selected. He will visit , infected districts, compel quarantine of patients and direct their treatment. He began service this morning, going first to Warrenton. From there he will go to Burlington. The disease Is worse at these points than anywhere else. It is especially bad among the mill operatives at Burlington. Compul sory vaccination in the town and coun ty has been resorted to. At Greensboro, the authorities have given the people three day's notice to be vaccinated and failure to comply with the ordinance" will subject the offender to $20 fine. , There is one case in Wilmington and it is rigidly isolated. The town of Clinton, in Sampton county, has quarantined against Wil mington and Norfolk. The greatest secrecy prevails in in fected districts as to extent and fatali ty of the disease and this is one of the reasons that induced the board of health to appoint an inspector. Unless ; the epidemic is speedily checked, com- ; pulsory vaccination will, be ordered' over the entire state. AN I.TIPOItTANT ENTKIt PKlSJli Silk Manufacturers Coming-Putting In a Steam Plant-Farming Set Dack (Correspondent of TTie Messenger.) Fayetteville, N. C, March 15. Fayetteville is assured of a new and very beneficial enterprise. A few days since Mr. Arhley, of Paterson, N. J., owning large silk manufacturing inter ests in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, paid a visit to this city, induced by correspondence with Messrs, Holt, president of the Holt-Morgan and Holt Willlamsson cotton factories, and A. H. Slocomb, a public-spirited and suc cessful business man. Mr. Arhley's stay here was brief, but eminently satisfactory so much so that after studying our labor condi tions, climate, etc., Mr. Arhley haa purchased a large body of land, south west of the town, from Dr. T. M. Hun ter, where he designs erecting a silk spinning mill, to be followed probably by a weaving factory, if success at tends the first enterprise. Let your correspondent put himself right here. He knew all these facts three days ago, but they received pub lication in advance of this etter in the local papers, for the reason that the writer held himself bound by promise to the parties interested to withhold the matter until now from the news paper. Work is being pushed night and day to quip Hope Mills factory No. 2 with a steam plant, on account of the de struction of thev dam by a freshet a short time ago. Excessive rains are making the farm ers very despondent, as plowing and other field work are impossible.
