Manila, June G. Two battailous ofthe Washington troops, under ColonelWhailey) on hoard caseoos; were towedfrom Paslg to Morong on Sunday amilanded under cover of a well directedfire from the "Unclad" army gunboatsNapiduii nnd Coyudonga.The rebels, who were intrenched in
the outskirts of the town; reservedtheir fire until the troops were ashoreand in the open.The American artillery opened fire
on the insurgents and drove them fromtheir position.-;, killing nine of themand wounding five.The Washington troops then took
the town, the insurgents fleeing to thehills.While the AHfrricans were on their
way to Morong the Insurgents openedUro from n shove battery at Ancoua,their first shot striking the Cuva-donga's awning aft at a range of 3,500yards.The Nnpldan also was fired at.The original plan was to surround
the forces of General Pio del Ptlar,so that ho must retreat to the Morongpeninsula, where capture would havebeen inevitable. This was not a com¬
plete success, because General Hall'scolumn found the country full ofhandicaps to im rchltig. There wore
several streams to be bridged or ford-od. and the troops frequently flounder¬ed through morasses waist deep inmud. ao experience which, under th3terrific sun. exhausted the Americansquite boy nd endurance; Most of Gen¬eral Pio del Pilar's followers are sup¬posed, to havt escaped northward,probably rem hing Bosoboso, a strong¬hold in the mountains.Reports fron the chief signal officer

Paris, .lime f»..President Loubet. ac¬
companied by the premier. M. Diipuy,nnd the chief of die niilttury house-bold, General f.l. C. Uailloud, drove tothe Auteuil races yesterday afternoon,closely followed by Mme. Loubot ina second landau. As thoy drove alongthe avenue des Champs-Elysees thecrowd bowed respectfully, but on ar¬
riving at Aiitouil they were met by a
violent demonstration, evidently or¬
ganized, and directed against the presi¬dent.There was a storm of hoots, yells
and cries of "Panama." "Abas Loubet"aud "Vive I'armee." A few shouts of"Vive Loubet" were drowned in theclamor.A strong force of police kept order
and arrested many of the disturbers,including a man who tried to forcehis way to the president's carriage.During the second race nie clamor
increased to violcuco anil was plainlydirected by a committee of the Leagueof Patriots, collected with their sup¬porters both before ami behind thepresidential stand, around, which a
formidable affray proceeded.During the grand steeplechase many
blows were struck, and several police¬men were injured iu their endeavors toprevent an invasion of the presidentialstand. At tho crisis of tho excitementComte Christiani rushed toward thepresident, brandishing a stick, and di¬rected a blow agalust him. striking Iiishat. Comte Christiani was thrown,trampled upon and severely bruised Inthe melee, lie was carried away bysix policemen, ho kicking and plungingand tho blood spouting from his nose.He is a grandson of a general who was
well known during the empire.President Loubel remained all tho
while quite unmoved; talk inj: to the
premier, while the officers of his mili¬tary household were defending himagainst violence.Tho principal leaders of tho demon¬
stration were M. Joseph basics, deputyfor Gets, and M. Finnin Fuur. deputyfor Oran. Algeria, both Anti-Semites.
Police Inspector Grilliere had hishead seriously wounded in tho melee,and President Loubet has since decor¬ated him with the Cross of the Legionof Honor in recognition of his devotionto duty. ,
It seems certain that the demonstra-I tion was organized by tho JcunnesscRoyaliste. the Ligue des Pat riot es andthe Anti-Somites, tho rallying signbeing a carnation In the buttonhole.Demonstrations and counter demon
strations continued until M. Loubetleft tho race course at 4::!(> p. in., thoarrival of his carriage being tho sig¬nal for an indescribable tumult. Themounted guards with difficulty openeda passage through the crowd, thepresident being pursued to tho lastwith hoots and yells. Even eggs were
thrown.It was noteworthy, however, that the
people generally cheered him loudly,tho cheers increasing as he drove to¬ward the Elysee, which ho reachedsafely at 4:45 p. in. During the demon¬strations a number of hats labeled"resignation" wore picked up.An order of the day was today
accepted by the government, stig¬matizing the occurrences at Au-tcuil and approving tho declarationsof the government. It was carriedwithout a division after the first parthad been adopted by a vote of 513 tot',2 and tho second part had been votedby to 17:?.The chamber, by i'üf» to 238 votes.
decided to adjourn the appointment ofa commission of inquiry into the con¬
duct of General Mcrclcr, tho formerminister of war, until after the courtmartial at Rennes, which is to tryDreyfus, as a result of the decision oftho court of cassation.There were violent scenes in the
chamber of dcuties, owing to Royalistdenunciations of President Loubet, andthe soldiers on duty had to expel thechief anti-Loubet speaker, M. RIousdo Lagentaye.Tho prefect of police, M. Plane, has
Drdered the closure of the AutomobileClub de France, of which the Comtedo Dion, who was one of tho ring-loaders at Autonil Sunday, is presi¬dent. A police commissary thereuponproceeded to the club's premises, on
the Place de La Concorde, and clearedtho members out, after which he af¬fixed seals to the doors.Of the 130 persons arrested in con¬
nection with the demonstration 4:? are
still held in custody.M. Le Moroier, tho examining mag¬
istrate, tonight began tho interro¬gation of those under arrest for par¬ticipating in Sunday's rioting. Ten,including M. Do Pannizz Passy, havebeen provisionally released. About 13will lie prosecuted on charge of rebel¬lion, for which the maximum punish¬ment is five years' imprisonment.The charge against Comte Christiani
is of assaulting a magistrate while inthe exercise of his functions, an of¬fense punishable by imprisonment forfrom two to five years.The scenes at Autouil on Sunday and
in the chamber of deputies Mondayhave only had tho effect of increasingthe popularity of President Loubot andof strengthening the hands of the gov¬ernment. The promptitude of the pre¬mier, M. Dupuy, in carrying out hispromise to take measures to insurejustice as soon us the court of cassa¬
tion had pronounced judgment is re¬
garded as proving that ho himself canshow a clean bill and that, though hewas premier at the time, General Mer-cier kept him ignorant of the measures
adopted as«.inst Dreyfus.On his return to the Elysee M. Lou¬
bet said to those who accompaniedhim:"All of my family opposed my be¬
coming president, and I had no desireto remain : the Elysee, but now thatit is dangerous to be the chief of statemy duty is dear, and I will let myenemies, if I have any, Ik; convincedthat I shall accomplish my missionto the end."
