Fight in Philippine*. The Thirty-third volunteers, forming part of Wheaton’s column, operating in Northern Luxon have been in two sharp engagements with the insurgents. Marsh’s battalion charged the Filipinos at San Fabian last Friday, routing them and inflicting a severe blow. On Saturday Wheaton dispatched the entire regiment against a strongly fortified body of insurgents. In this battle seven Americans, were killed and^welve wounded. Major John A. Logan, son of the famous civil war general, fell mortally wounded. The Filipino loss is placed by General Otis at 300. Aguinaldo has not yet been captured, and it is feared that, with his main army, he may have succeeded in getting past W'heaton to the north. General Funston started last night for Manila. He says that Aguinaldo probably will go to Hong-Kong when he sees his last card has failed. Funston believes that Aguinaldo is too slipperj’ to be captured. The cruiser Charleston ran on a reef practically in the open sea. The vessel will prove a total loss, according to the latest reports, though Naval Constructor Hobson probably will be sent to inspect the wreck.

Tht Transvaal Fight. The British Government is holding up foreign official dispatches from South Africa. This is believed in London to indicate either that an important movement of British troops is maturing, or that the British at Ladysmith have sustained another reverse. All the news from Natal is four days old. Half of Buller’s army corps has reached South Africa. It is said that General Hilyard will take 8,000 men on the Ladysmith relief expedition. The long range shelling of Ladvsmith continued on November 10. Transvaal State Secretary Reitz is alleged to have notified General Buller that if Nathan Marks, held by the British as a spy, is shot, the Transvaal will shoot six British officers. British advices say that the bombardment of Kimberley by the Boers had proved ineffective up to November 8. The story that the British (capitulation at Rietfontein was caused by the act of a subordinate officer has caused chagrin in England. Colonejl Powell, military strategist says that Ladysmith certainly will be in the hands of the Boers within a few days, if capitulation already has not occurred. During the present administration of President McKinley several members of his cabinet have resigned. Sherman and Day of the state department: Alger of the war department: Bliss, interior; Geary, postmaster general, and McKenna, attorney general.
