The (iirrender was arranged by Chap,

cording to a story told by Rostario, Gen

The recent meeting of the Filipino con

the question of peace was not formally
considered, as the members feared
Luna'i displeasure.
Major Bell, with two companies of the
Foorth cavalry, has been reconnoitering

Lawton Resting at Candaba Will Ad
vanw on Tarlae Wheo Reinforced
Has Destroyed Many Crops.
New York, May 24. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Manila
says: General Lawton Is resting with
6000 men at Candaba after thirty days
of successful campaigning. He said to
the Journal correspondent:
"It pained me when we got into San
Isidro to see on the walls of the prison
the names of the fifteen Americans from
the Yorktown. From Colonel Ray, the
Spanish officer whom we 'rescued, I
learned that one of the American prison
ers escaped from his captors. His lib
erty was short lived, for he was recap
tured. 'He was stretched on the ground
befoiehis fellow-pritoners and twenty
lashes were given to him.
"We found a letter near San Isidro,
written by one of the Yorktown'a crew,
saying that thev were being kicked, that
their hair was being pulled out and that
they were cruelly treated in various
other ways, and praying their fellow-country-men
to hurry to their release.
The insurgents mike a practice of mur
dering the Chinamen who fall Into their
hands, and our men, I suppose, should
consider themselves fortunate that they
have not been similarly treated, though
the cruelties and indignities heaped on
them must be hard to bear. I would
have advanced to Tarlae, but was in
formed that I was north of the insur
gents' main forces. Hence I asked for
Kobbj'd br ignite. I can advance and
reach Tarlae in six days unless the pre
negotiationb between the Filipinos and
our commission accomplish peace. The
hole country is nothing but intrench-
ments.
"I have had during the last month
twenty-two engagements, Six of my
men have been killed in the field, two
have died from wounds, and thirty-five
have been wounded. The losses of the
Insurgents were over 400 killed, while we
have taken 1000 prisoners. I released
Spanisli prisoners, established civil gov
ernment In San Miguel, Bulinag and
San Isidro and safely conducted 540
Chinese refuges who were in fear for
their lives. In the section traversed, 1
have destroyed 200,000 bushels of rice,
1G5 tons of sugar and 10,000 bushels of
corn.
They Fell Easy Victims.
Manila, May 24. General MacArthnr
and Funston, with the Kansas and Mon
tana regiments and the Utah battery,
have dispersed 300 insurgents, who were
entreuched on the railroad near San
Arita. The American scouts were fired
upon from the trenches unexpectedly,
and withdrew. The firing was heard at
Han Fernando, and MacArthur assembled
his troops and marched quickly after the
ecouts. The Montana rglmf nt flanked
the trenches on the enemy's right flank,
Funston leading the charge at the double
quick. The Insurgent loss was large,
many prisoners were captured. It is re
ported that twenty ' Americans were
wounded.

showing plainly across the pay shoot, is
$20,14'! in free gold, and 600 ounces In
silver per ton.
Confession of Branton.
Ei-oink, Or., May 23.-Two days be
fore he was banged, Claude 'Branton

Rev. E. M. Patterson, sealed, with in
structions not to make it pullic until
ten days after his death. It was made

time when the homeward movement of

Washington, May 22. While it is
not so affirmed at the department, the
recent movement is generally believed
to mark the end of the active campaign
before the wet weather eels in. Mac
Arthur is at San Fernando, south of
Aryat, where Kobbe and Lawton are
now joined. This is a point that has
previously been spoken of as a possible
summer base for American northern
outposts. Lawton'e tnrning in bis
march to the north and proceeding
down tbe Rio Grande is a natural re
sult of his desire to get behind the in
surgents at San Isidro and crush them

Bears Killing Sheep.
Corvallih, Or.; May 24 For several
weeks bears have been playing havoc
with sheep in the bills, a dozen miles
west of Corvallis. Hunting parties have
scoured the woods anJ canyons, but all
efforts to rid the country of the maraud
ers have been futile. Last week Caleb
Davis, of Woods creek, set up bear
trap made of 102, that has already made
short work of two bears. The trap Is a
floor of logs ten feet square, on which Is
a log pen, twelve inches deep. A log
made lid surmounts the pen, and Is se
curely fastened at one side by powerful
hinges. The lid is very heavy, and is

ping birds. The long trigger is baited
with meat, and when the latter is seized

May Feel More Like Being Entertained
When He Gets Rested Says the
Philippines are the Key to Oriental
Commerce and Civilization.
New York, May 24. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong quotes Admiral Dewey as saying,
on board the Olympia :
"The courtesy of these visitors I warm
ly appreciate, but I am too much worn
out and sick to receive them. I am not
sorry to leave Manila at this time; I
could not stand the care and responsibil
ity much longer. It is vastly easier to
be under orders than issue them.
"It is responsibility that kills. Dur
ing the year that has elapsed since we
came to Manila, I have not had one sick
day until now. A year is long enough
in this climate for an old man, and I am
glad to be permitted a rest. On this ac
count, I expect to remain in Hong Kong
two weeks. That ought to recuperate
me. My intention is to spend the time
at Victoria peak, where I Lope to be
absolutely free from worry. Nobody is
more sensible of the kindness of the peo
ple who have extended me invitations,
but I do not wish for enteitainment.
My health will not Btand It at present.
Two weeks of perfect quiet at the peak
ought to make a new man of me.
"I have the greatest enthusiasm in tbe
future of the Philippines. I hope to see
America possess the key to Oriental
commerce and civilizition. The brains
of our great country will develope the
untold agricultural and mineral re
sources of the islands. We must never
sell them. Such an action would bring
on another great war. We will never
part with the Philippines I am sure,
and in future years the idea that any
body ehould have serioii9iy suggested it
will he ono of the curiosities of history.
"The Olympia will g.) home leisurely.
I want all of my officers and nun to get
the gveatoet benefit n' all the stops we
can. We will pick our places with this
in iniml. They have earned a rest by a
year of eteady duly without respite.
While I am glad to be going home, I
cannot say good bye to Manila without
regrets. There have been many pleasant
occurrences am inj the months of har
assing responsibilities and we w ill not
forget them."
GIRL WITNESSED
THE SUICIDE
He Killed Himself In Presence of Miss
Hilton Coroner's Jury Returns a
Verdict of Suicide.
Okkoon Citv, May 2". The coroner'
jury sat on the remains of Solomon
Beachert yesterday afternoon at4o'clock.
They returned the following verdict and
recommendation :
"We, the undersigned jury in the
above entitled Inquest, find that the de
ceased's name was Solomon Beachert, of
Aurora, Clackamas County, Or.; that be
died on the 23d of May, at Oregon City,
Or., from effects of a bullet discharged
Into the neck and vertebra of the said
deceased by tbe said deceased, on the 22J
day of May, 1809, with the intention of
committing suicide.
"The jury further recommended that
hereafter no persons be removed an un
reasonable distance wh o in a dyii.g.
condition."
Mise Hilton, of Anrort;, the young lady
whom Beachert draggtd I fori l.er horse,,
was too ill to be present, but her father
was there and made a statement to tber
jury. From what be said it appears that
Beachert met the girl in the road about
a mile and a half from her home and
dragged her from her horse for the pur
pose of ommitting a dastardly crime.
He carried her into the brush and then
changed his mend, and told the girl that
he had concluded to. kill her instead.
She grew hysterical and begged for her
life. He then gave her bis watch and
pocketbook, and instructed her to give
them to his mother, and said that he
would kill himself instead. With that
he shot himself before her eyes.
Tbe shooting took place shortly after
6 o'clock, and the girl wandered about
until after 8 before she found her way
out to the road leading to her home
The horse went home by himself and a
search was at once iosuituted for Miss
Hilton. She was nnable to give a clear
account of the affair for some time,
which probably accounts' foe the delay
In searching for Beachert.
