It ia said at the war department that the decision respecting the status quo In thfc Philippines and the restrictions Imposed on American operations there also Covers the question of the disbanding of the army. There is quite a large proportion of the increase of the regular army that was mustered in "for the war" with the specific pledge that on the return of peace these men, although and mustered in nominally for years, would be given their discharge at any time on tkeir, own request.

BRAVE KANSAS BOYS, They Defeat Large of Innnr- Bcntn. In Jungle Fisht. Feb. are grief and joy in the ranks of the Kansas boys- grief for the brave men fallen and joy for the gallant work which has shown that they have the right stuff in them. A small reconnoiteringr party of Kansas men ran up against a band of Filipinos many times their size in the Jungle.

The fierce natives came at them ferociously, but the Americans lay low in the long grass and kept their rifles going with good, effect. They were picking off the enemy rapidly, but the odds were too great against them, and they would certainly have been cut to pieces in the end had not Colonel Funston learned of their predicament. Placing himself at the head of three companies, the colonel pushed them rapidly forward. They charged as they came in sight of the enemy with the shrill Kansas yell that sounds like a young cyclone. The natives fought'stubbornly, but in the end were driven back into the town, leaving several hundred dead and wounded in the Jungle.

Lieutenant Alfred C. Alford of Company I and one private were killed, and five were seriously wounded. The dead and wounded were carried back to the line by their grief stricken but triumphant comrades. Lieutenant Alford in private life was a young practicing attorney in Lawrence, Kan. His body will probably be sent home for burial.

The scenes about Manila are those of desolation and ruin. The little villages and the isolated houses have been destroyed by order of General Otis. He found that they were being used as refuges by Filipinos, who used them as coigns of vantage from which to pick off the Americans. In this way a number of men on the flanks and at the real- lost their lives. In the city itself quiet reigns, antl the women who were sent off to the shipping in the h'arbor in anticipation of fighting: in the city have returned to their homes.

Madrid, Feb. from Manila, General Rios, the Spanish commander, reports that the Americana "repulsed the Filipinos after 20 hours' fighting." He adds: "The Filipinos now occupy our old advance posts. The American artillery and guns of the squadron destroyed several vl.llages in the neighborhood. They are treating the population with much severity, and many arrests have been made in Manila.

Troops occupy the streets, and the natives are prevented' from circulating, though hostilities have ceased. I have no news from the rest of the archfpela- and am anxious about the prisoners." Affoncillo nt London, Feb. Filipino Junta here has received a cablegram from Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo, dated Montreal, Feb. 7, "deploring the hos- which have had the effect of securing' tho ratification of the peace treaty." Agoncillo also says'he believes outbreak was provoked by the Americans in order to secure the ratification of the treaty and declares that th?

Superintendent Prltchett of the coast survey recently explained his plans to the appropriation committee of the house, and they have included in the sundry civil bill funds for carrying- on this work. The work in Porto Rico is said to be most important, Involving the possible establishment of Jobes, 25 miles of Ponce, as the great port of the West Indies. Superintendent Pritchett stated to the committee that the need of charts was urgent both for the navy and merchant shipping. He said the last soundings made by the authorities had developed a depth of 40 feet at the harbor entrance. It had always been supposed that the harbor 'was closed to deep vessels.

Of the army soundings, Superintendent Pritchett stated: "If that is true, that information is of the greatest Importance and that port will be the port of the West Indies." Chunked Phraseology. To provide for this work the appropriation committee changed the usual phraseology and made it coasts of the United States, "including the coasts of outlying islands under the jurisdiction of the United States." Of the $70,000 allowed, $25,000 is for the Porto Rico work. Superintendent Pritchett also recommended a preliminary inquiry in the Philippines. He said the entire survey would be an enormous piece of work, ultimately to'be paid for by whatever government is instituted there, but the present inquiry did.not contemplate more than finding out what was necessary to be done. He also sub- plans for continuing the charting of Hawaii.

The committee made the following provision: "For surveys of the Pacific coast, including the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska and other coasts oh the Pacific ocean under the jurisdiction of the United States, provided that not more than $25,000 of this amount shall be expended outside of Alaska and the Pacific coast of the United States, $70,000."
