I THE INSURGENTS FLED Porac Captured After Half an Hour's Fighting. THE AMERICAN LOSS WAS SLIGHT Ssvaral Miles of Country Cleard of Id surganti-Ths Movaineiit Was a Strategical Kucoa... Manila, Sept. 80. General MacAr thur entered Porao after half an hour's fighting. Tho American loss was slight; the insisfgents loss is not known. The enemy fled nortward and when the Americans entered the town they found it practically deserted. The attacking party moved on Porac in two columns. The Ninth infantry with two guns from Santa Rita was commanded by (ienerul Wheeler, and the Thirty-sixth infantry under Colonel Itell, with one gun, accompanied Gen eral MacArthur from San Antonio. Iloth columns struck the town at 9 o'clock and opened a brisk fire, which Was replied to by the enemy for half an hour. Then the insurgents fled, and the Americans marched over their trendies and took issession of the place. Just before the fight Smith's com mand at Angeles made a demonstration by firing artillery up the railroad track. Llscum reported one casualty, and Hell reported four men of his regiment wounded. The artillery did not lose S nian, killed or injured. Today's movement was a strategical success, and resulted in the possession of Porao, and the clearing of several miles of country thereabout. The two columns, one from Santa Rita and the other from San Antonio, united before Porao, according to the programme, one stretching around the place for some miles. The insurgents are estimated to have numbered BOO men. Ten dead Filipinos were found, and the captain and commissary of General Muscarno's command were taken prisoners. The American loss was Ave, but there were many prostrations from the heat. Englishmen from the insurgent lines report that the rebels at iiambon have 7,000 new Japanese rifles. INVESTED BY REVOLUTIONISTS. Oanerat Castro Baa Cut His Army Into Thrpo IMvlaluliN. New York, Sept. 80.

The left wing is occupying Caralucia and tlie entire seacoast to Puerto Cabello, and is moving forward toward La Gua yra with the special object of outting oft the escape of Preisdent Andrade. The center and main division of the rebel army, under the personal com mand of General Castro, is moving on Los Leques, and purposes to combine with the forces from the Tuy valley tc make an assault on Caracas. Castro surprised the government troops on the plains of Valencia, caus ing a loss to Andrade's forces of 1,600 men in killed and wounded. General Adlran, of the government amiy, was among the slain.

Two hundred and fifty scantily clad, baggage-bereft men, women and children were on board of an inter-colonial special which steamed into ISonuvontura depot tonight. They composed the greater number of those who sailed from Liverpool September 14 on- the steamship Scotsman, bound for Montreal, which was wrecked on the shores of the Straits of Belle Isle at i:SQ o'clock the morning of the 21st. It was not only a tale of tjilpwreck that they had to tell, but one of death, of suffering and pillage, for fifteen, at least, of the Scotsman's passengers perished, all suffered cruelty from cold and privation and almost the worst horror of all, the men who were sup posed to succor and assist those com mitted to their care in the hour of need, turned on the helpless passengers and with loaded gnns and revolvers compelled them to part with the few valuables they had saved. Captain Skrimshire and his officers were excep tions. For the honor of the British merchant marine, the crime mar not be ascribed to the men engaged in it, but to a gang ot wharf rats and hangers-on, picked np on the docks at Liver pool to replace the usual crew of the Scotsman, which joined the seamen's strike on the other side. The list of those who perished is as follows: First-class passengers Miss Street, Montreal; Mrs. Childs, wife oi the stage manager of the "Sign of the Cross' company; Mrs. Robertson and infant; Mrs. Scott; Mrs. Robinson, wife of the manager of the Sunlight Soap Company, of Toronto; Mrs. Rob inson; Mrs. Dickinson, wife of a former editor of the Toronto Globe. Second class passengers Mrs. M. M. Scott, Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Talbot, Mrs. Tnt hill, Mrs. Skelton Mrs. Eliza Watkins, Miss B. Weavera. It will be noticed that all who per ished were women. This is accounted for by the fact that they were occu pants of tho first boat which left the steamer after she struck and which was swamped before it could get clear ol the ship. GIGANTIC SWINDLING Causa of the New Orlaana Cotton Ex change's Suspension of Business. New Orleans, Oct. 2. Intense excite ment prevails on the cotton exchange here, and the directors of the exchange have met and suspended business. The New York market is closed today, and the only quotations this morning to guide local investors were from Liv erpool. The market had scarcely opened when tlie operators had become paralyzed by advices clicked from over the ocean. It showed futures jumping in leaps and bounds. In half an hour reports showed that the Liverpool mar ket had jumped nearly a cent. The whole exchange went wild, and the ex citement spreading to the streets, mul titudes crowded around the doors of the building. ' At 10 o'clock a meeting of the di rectors was called and prompt action was taken, suspending all business. Operators were unable to explain the tremendous jump, and it was the com mon belief on the floor that the wires had been tapped and that a gigantic swindling game was on foot some where. l'rivate cables were going to Liver pool by the dozens, seeking informa tion. While the telegraphic wires were bringing news of the advances at Liver pool, private cables to prominent local cotton firms were bearing the news that there had been little or no change from yesterday in the Liverpool mar ket. This at once aroused the sus picions of the operators, and caused a hasty meeting of the directors. The action of the directors in order ing a suspension of business checked the panic, but only temporarily allayed tlie excitement, and there is suppressed anxiety to know the solution of the puzzle. The directors officially announced later that today's suspension is due to fraud. Operators estimate that the loss suffered here on account of the swindle will amount to mora than $100,000. Gold North of Capa Nome. Tacoma, Oct. a. Another story of gold discoveries in the North has been brought down by Colonel Frank Haight, a well-known Salt Lake mining man, who has mining interests in Alaska. Colonel Haight was one of the few pas sengers who came down on the Alli ance who had come directly out from Anvil City. He says that a short while before he left there some pros pectors came in with a report of a great strike at Cape Prince of Wales, which is about 100 miles north of Cape Nome. Colonel Haight says there was an immediate stampede for the new grounds. Chilean Finances. New York, Oct. 8. A dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso sayB: It is said the government intends to issue 80,000,000 pesos in silver coin for the redemption of government bonds. This scheme, it ia believed, will give the coins their faoe value; the price of the bonds will rise and the bank rate of interest will fall. . Estimates for the war and marine departments for the present year, which amount to 22,808,894 pesos, have been reduoed for 1900 by 4,723,654 pesos. Plague Spreading In Portugal. Oporto, Oct. 8. Confirmation . has been obtained of the report that the bnbonio plague has made its appear ance at Bagnia, a village outside the sanitary cordon. The disease was in troduced there by two patients in the hospital. Last evening a carriage in which foreign doctors were on their way to attend a post mortem examination here was stopped by a number of persons. ' The police drove off the assailants and the doctors escaped. - IN DEWEY'S HONOR The Great Marine Parade at New York. BOATS BY THE HUNDREDS Oljrmpla and the Warships Led the Pro salon Route Was Up tha North Blfer. . New York, Oct. 2. The naval pa rade, from the standpoint of the war ships, was an immense marine picture, a water pageant with so little of inci dent, copamred with its gTeat size, that it appealed to the eye as a paint ing rather than a drama. The vast gathering of water craft maintained an average speed of eight knots, but so magnificent was its area that the im pression was one of exceingly slow and stately movement. . The picture was continually changing, but it melted slowly in each measured rythm from form to form that the sense of motion was largely lost. It started under a brilliant sky, passed at the mouth of the Hudson through the threat of an ugly storm, and emerged through a rainbow arch that stretched from shore to shore into a clear and brilliant sunset off the Grant tomb. The night had been a busy one in the fleet of warships off Tompkinsvlle. The last details of , the day's ceremony were hardly settled before the day itself broke on a scene of greater activ ity than the classic anchorage had ever witnessed before. The great vessels of the white squad ron swung at their anchorage as for the past two days, but the crowd of neighboring craft had been swelled pas counting. As far as could be seen the water was a mass of moving steamers. The evolution began at 1 o'clock, and in 15 minutes the fighting line was straightened out up the harbor. Admiral Dewey was going to his own place at the head of a squadron that would have won, at need, three battles of Manila bay without stopping for breakfast. The head of the column was a broad arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out at tha bar, three on a side, from the Olympia's quarter. Outside of them a dying wedge of police patrol boats formed a great V, whose apex was the Qlympia. Flanking them, ahead and astern, were the harbor tire boats, spouting great columns of water that turned threateningly toward the excursion boats on either side when they at tempted to crowd the line of march. But the pageant back of this power ful vanguard was ' not limited to a single or sextuple line of ships. It was a sinuous marine monster half a mile wide, whose vertebrae were the ships of the white squadron, and whose ribs were rows upon rows of every sort of floating thing that had ever run by steam in New York harbor. From the time the British yacht Erin started- she certainly was the chief attraction along the river front, after the Olympia had gone by, and Sir Thomas Lipton was accorded an ovation all along the line. To those) on board the Erin, decked out as she was with flags of all nations, it looked as if the American people were greatly pleased with Sir Thomas, and were delighted at an opportunity to give him a hearty welcome. They ran alongside in tugs, barges, launches and big excursion steamers, and shouted all sorts of complimentary things to him, while the tall yachstman on the upper brigde of the Erin wore a smile, and not infrequently called back his thanks for the kind wishes. SAMOAN CLAIMS. Those of the British Subjects Aggregate 37,000. Washington, Sept. 80. The British commissioner to Samoa, Mr. Eliot, hat received from Apia a full report on the claims made by the British subjects for damage resulting from the bom bardment and the native uprising. The claims aggregate something ovei 137,000. Of this amount about $30, 000 grows out of the depredations of the Mataafa rebels in January and March last, while some f 5,000 is tor losses resulting from the bombardment of the British-American naval forces and the succeeding operations on land. The original amount of the claims was doubled the amount now submitted to the Briiisr commissioner as they were first subjeoted to a rigid scrutiny by a British official at Apia. Mr. 5.1iot called at the White House today and had a talk with the president, in the course of which Mr. McKinley ex pressed his satisfaction with the work of the Samoan commission. Cleared of Rob els. Manila, Oct. 2. General MacAr thur's column has returned to Angeles, where Generals MacArthur, Wheaton and Wheeler have established then headquarters, with 8,000 troops. It is expected they will remain there until a general advance is ordered.. There are no troops at Porao. Nine Ameri cans were wounded in yesterday's fighting, two it is believed fatally. It 1b estimated that 60 insurgents were killed or wounded. Conference at Angeles. Manila, Oot. 8. Generals Otis and Sohwan and possibly Generals Lawton and Bates will proceed to Angeles to day, where they may confer with Fili pino commissioners, as the result of an exchange of communications be tween General MacArthur and the in surgents. A Filipino general is ex pected with the American prisoners today. Two reconnoitering parties I came into collision with the unsurgents near Almna and four Amerio&na were I wounded. HE WAS REJECTED. Bat Stack to His Job and Won tha Coveted Prlxe. "It was such a good joke on me," said the giil in the gray velvet toque to the girl in the blue velvet shoulder cape, as they stirred their hot choco late, "that I must tell you." "You know how John has been pro posing to me at regular intervals ever since he was out of knickerbockers. Well, he did it again the other night, and, with his usual facility, chose an occasion when I was very cross. "He did it a little 'mors awkwardly than usual, too, deliberately choosing the old-fashioned method of offeiing me 'his hand and heart.' " , Here she paused to drink some choco late, and the girl in blue asked breath lessly what she said. "Ohl" remarked the other, in tha tone ot one relating an event of no im poitnnce, "I told him that I believed I was already provided with the full quota of bodily organs, and that I wouldn't deprive bim." "And what did he sav?" "Well, Belle, that's tiie tunny thing.

But the manufacture or sale of any ar ticle of food or article intended to be used in food which contains any of the substances classed by the law as un healthful from Arsenic to Alum is absolutely prohibited. Plght Hetnean Man and Pig. An interesting fight between a man and a pig entranced a crowd of Home town people the other morning on the main street. The man, a young farm er, was driving a big, nucovered wagon. He sat on some boards that were snatohed from the wagon's ttvo sides, and under the boards was tbe hog, which his weight held down. Sudden ly, in front of tbe Montgomery bouse, the man flew high in the air, the boardB clattered down on top of him, and the porker began to climb out of the wagon. "You'll buck me, will yon?" said the man, getting up, and he grabbed the animal by the tfiroat and began to pinch it in tha nose. The pig, erect and shieking like mad, struck at him with its forepawa and tried to trip him with its hind ones. The intelligent horses stopped so as to let the crowd view the fight in comtoit. Tlie man and the hog tought all over the wagon until they both panted for breath. The animal's nose was bleed ing, and the man's clothes and skin were torn here and there. The duelists were revolving in a tight embrace in the middle of the wagon, like a couple waltzing, when a spectator reached up and knocked the hog down with a club. Then the boards were arranged again and the man drove off. Philadelphia Record. . Climate, Beanery and Nature's Sani tarium.

New Tor, Journal, THIRD TRIAL FAILED Aguinaldo's Attempt in the Field of Diplomacy. HIS "REPUBLIC" UNKECOGKIZKD Interview With His Envoy, Who Talks Like a 'Genuine Anti Imperialist. Manila, Oct. S. Aguinaldo's third attempt to shift his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other two, with an impossible en deavor to obtain some sort of recogni tion of his so-called government. Tlie Filipino envoys had an hour's conference with General Otis this morning. They brought from Agni naldo a mcspage that he desired peace and wished to send a civilian govern mental commission to discuss the ques tion. General Otis replied that it was impossible for Urn to recognize Agui naldo's government in that way. They presented a letter from Aguinaldo as "president of the republic," which was largely a repetition of his recent ap peals for recognition. Geneial Otis informed them that, while ho was will ing to correspond with Aguinaldo as general of the insurgent forces, he must positively decline to recognize him as president of the civil government. Another conference will be held to morrow. - " The Filipinos will remain two or three days. Their movements are un restricted, but thoy are under tho con stant chaperonage of Captain Johnson, of the Sixteenth infantry. Today they visited .the hospitals and distributed money among the wounded Filipinos, after which they made calls and re ceived visitors at their hotel. Native In their Sunday clothing thronged the plaza in front of the hotel all day, stretching their necks towards the win dows for a glimpse of the showy uni forms of the enovys. The assemblage finally increased to 1,000 people. When the envoys emerged for an after noon drive, the natives removed their hats deferentially and a crowd in ve hicles and on foot followed the carriage through the streets. "We desired peace, but peace with independence and honor," said General Aliejandrino today, while conversing with a press representative. He im presses one as dignified and dispassion ate and a keen man of the wolrd. He was educated in Euorpe, and designed the remarkable entrenchments from Manila to Tarlac. While reticent con cerning his mission, his conversation throws an interesting light on the Fili pino view of the American attitude. "How long can the Filipino army withstand 60,000 troops?" asked the press representative. "Fighting in our way, we can main tain a state of war and the necessity of a large army of occupation indefi nitely. You Americans are holding a few miles around Manila, a narrow line of railroad to Angeles and a circle around San Fernando. But you are Ignorant of the resources of Luzon. We hold the rich, immense productive northern country from which to draw. Our people contribute the money and food for our army, and this is done at a minimum cost "It is an interesting question what the cost to the American people is of maintaining troops in the Philippines. A Filipino exists with a handful of rice and a pair of linen trousers. We do not have to pay our soldiers. Even with our present supply of arms and ammunition, we could keep your army occupied for years. "With an expense that grows daily, how long will your people stand if The Filipino people do not wish to con tinue the fighting. Wo have no army contractors. We have no business men making profits from the maintenance of our army. There is nothing iu it for us, nor are our salaries large enough to keep us fighting for money and posi tion." - ALL FOR DEWEY. Fifty Thousand Hen In the Land Pnrda Climax of Celebration.
