Wheaton Fired on in the Road and Narrowly Escaped-A Battle in which 4rtUlery was Freely Used. Totally Destroyed. SPAIN'S BIG WAR DEBT. Manila, By Cable. A battaliion'of the Fourth Infantry which left Imus, where General Wheaton was in com csand Monday morning, to reconnoitre towards Peres das Marinas, where it was believed most of the rebel sf who escaped from Paranaque and Bacoor had fled, was attacked in the rear by apparently friendly natives. IThis brought on a sharp engagement, hast ing several hours, resulting in five Americans being killed and about 25 being wounded. The loss of the rebels Toijr utmvy. xqq OaitttilOn POOU exhausted its ammunition, and at 2:30 in the afternoon Gen. Wheaton and his staff, with the Second Battalion; two mounted guns and one field piece, went to re-enforce the troops attacked. Gen. Weaton was fired on in a road and had a narrow escape. Later, the Third Battalion was ordered to, the front and formed on tbo Las Marinas road. Heavy firing on both sides fol lowed, the artillery being freely used. The enemy was located in the woods at 4 o'clock, showing signs of retiring, as the rebels were being pressed very hard. One gun of the Sixth Artillery, in an advantageous position, did great j execution. r The fighting was still in progress al 5'clock, at which time the Americans had secured a quantity of Filipino arms, which had beon abandoned in the woods. The scene of the fight is over 20 miles from Manila. lobn D. fcockfcller Bays the Anaconda Mine -for; S2J,000.000-Jeffries tad Sharkey to Flfht evening train for Aeheville to arrest Cocke, and it was agreed that the mat ter should not be mentioned until the papers were served. This was done Thursday morning at 4 o'clock, the marshal arresting Cocke in his room. A $15,000 bond was required of him and was promptly given. .William, Johnston Cocke was born in Asheville, January, 1873, and is therefore 25 yeajs of age. He graduated at Wofford College, S. C, in '92, with the bigh- $tt honors, taking the senior medr!. fie then went to Harvard, where he uok a post-graduate course. On his return from Harvaid he was made ijjkshier of the National BaDk of Ashe- llle, being at the time only SZ years f age. He was elected mnyor of Ashe- ille 7th day of May, '96. In the eleo- on last fall he wan sent to the Senate from his distiict, the thirty-third sen atorial district, which had in '96 given f strong Bepnblicau mnjority. In a statement to The Citizen, .Cocke says: fL do not own the National Bank of Ashrville one dollar. Every cent for which I was liable has long 6iuce, and before this prosecution was begun, been paid." The Grant Arrived. Manila, By Cable. The United States transport Sherman which nailed from San Francisco May 24, 1.8U0 men and 75 officers, under command of Brigadier General Fred D. Grant, has arrived here, . after a mooth voyage. One private died after the transport's arrival. The troops brought by.l the gros, to relieve the California Volun teers.

Special: At 12;15 Saturday afternoon fire broke oat do the Ioarth floor of the Benbow hotel. It is supposed to havJbeen staited by lefectiqo kitchen fine. The alarm was ?iven and the fire company promptly iurned out, but it was found that there eras only pressure enough in the city water tank to throw the water 'ten feet, and to make matters hopeless, the Gre engine blew out an air chamber: ind so it was that 500 people stood helpless and watched a fire, that might aave been extinguished in the begin ning, with only a few gallons of water, am' control and ultimately destroy $100,000 property. At about 12:45 the engine was in good working condition and the water pres mre sufficiently strong for effective work, but by this time the flames had broken through the mansard roof and the entire building was a raging fur nace. AH effort wan then directed to wards preventing the fire from spread ing, and this was successful, there be-' ing, fortunately, scarcely any breeze. At 12:30 Mayor Taylor wired to Win-iton-Salem for assistance, and bis telegram was supplemented by a terse wire from Superintendent O'Brien, of the Southern, instructing the engineer that would bring the special to strike ground only in high places. By 12:40 the Winston Salem companies had their gear on two flat cars attached to Ihe engine, and, holdinc cn for deir life, they came the 20 miles from Win ston to Greonsboro in the record time of 29 minutes. With the three engines at work, the fire was well under control by 3 o'clock, though the naked walls o! the Benbow Attested its success there.
