—It is suggested that the St. Olat be chartered to assist the Stanley in carrying treight from Pictou to Georgetown. Is the suggestion feasibl.?

—The Patriot euggests that Colo Arse- pault be prosecuted underthe statute for accepting @ bribe. This is all mght. But the Attorney General, when be prosecates, will be met with thie d fficulty, that while Colo admits that he got a bribe, the Court of Appeal eays he did not !

—Deputations of Liberals, at Ottawa, have lately been advising with the Govern- ment as to the “‘disposal of the Dominion surplus.” This ie rich, seeing that Mr. Fielding disposed of it, pretty effectually, when be eent to England to borrow a other “two and a half millions !”

—In London the Ganadian emigra-

tion officiale, from Lord Strathcona down, are wonderng what Mr. W. T. |} R. Preston has been sent England | for’by our Libeial Government Aw On- |

Nsw York, March 22.—A deapatch to ihe Herald from lloilo, says :—A battal- ion of the 18th iofantry, ® platoon of the 5th Artillery and the machine gun battery made a reconnaissance in the direction of Maodurriao and Santa Barbara Thureday. While they were returning the insurgents attacked the outposts on the right, anda fight followed

General Miller was on the scene early avd direc'ed the operations from imme diately behind the fighting line. He had several nerrow ercaper,

The line advanced bv rushes three thous» and yards under a hot fire, . ouring in deliberate volleys upon the enemy’s posi- tion, and artillery making good practice.

By thetime the forces were within 306 yards of the enemy’s final position dark~ ness fell, preventiag the charge fer which the Tennessee men and the companies of the 18:b on the right band already prepar- ed by fixing bavonets. The retirement

, upon Jaro was accomplished in good order.

—A new woman’s society has been forn.- ed in New York city.

—We are told that Sir Richard Cart- wright “scored the Opposition unmerci- fully,"—and, in the same despatch, “Sir Richard dealt principally with the Joint High Commiesion. He eaid that while free trade between the two couatries would help both, etill Canada is able to work out ite own destiny and find markets else- where.” This from the chief apostle of Unrestricted Recipiocity seems to indi- cate tbat the Liberals are coming round to the Opposition’s position and preparing for the failure of ther reciproci'y negotiations after six months of kneeling to Uncle Sam. Sir Richard could aot have been more un- merciful to the ¢ pposition thaa Uncle Sam has been to the Government,

There were other miraculous escapes as the men advanced amid a bail of bul- lees.

The severity of the engagement may be

jodged by the fact that the 18c:b regiment

aloue fired 62 800 rounds. It is estimated thatthe insurgents, with their more than 2,000 rifle-, fired more than double our totel of ammevnition.

It is impossible to tell accurately the insurgent losses as the American troop converged 8t a given point without trav- ersing the grourd shot over, but on the dav after the battle, from Jary belfry, the enemy could be seen carting away the, dead. The minimum estimate of their losses is 200 killed and 300 wounded,

The instructions printed on the captur- ed cases Of ammuoition were in German, and showed{ibat the cartridges came from the gartillery depot at Mayence.

It is suspected that the ammunition and arms have been supplied to the insurgents from German and Japanese sources, and from the French colon ies.
