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. A dispatch to
the Herald from Port of Spain, Trini
dad, says: Caracas is practically in
vested by revolutionists. General Cip
riauo Castro's forces, moviug from Va
lencia and Victoria, separated into
three divisions. The right wing has
already captured San Casmir and Oca
mare, and is now occupying tha valley

mand of General Castro, is moving on

make an assault on Caracas.
Castro surprised the government
troops on the plains of Valencia, caus

men in killed and wounded. General
Adlran, of the government amiy, was

WRECK OF THE, SCOTSMAN.
Flftaen Woman Passanyora Drowood
Ship Lootad hj Craw.
Montreal, Oct. 2. 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

ance at Bagnia, a village outside the
sanitary cordon. The disease was in

hospital.
Last evening a carriage in which
foreign doctors were on their way to

The police drove off the assailants and

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.

Manila, Oot. 8. Generals Otis and
Sohwan and possibly Generals Lawton
and Bates will proceed to Angeles to

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

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.
Now York, Oct. S. The land parade
today capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united in a vast dem
onstration worthy of the hero of Manila.
The earth trembled beneath, the tread
of 60,000 men, and the air was torn
with the shoots of millions. The na
val parade of yesterday was magnifi
cent and superb, but the wonder of
modern times was the great land pa
rade. Thousands of proud men of our
kind and sea forces, the militia of 15
states and the veterans of the civil and
Spanish-American wars swelled the
prooession and gave it the dignity in
size that it boasted in sentiment. ,
Admiral Dewey, the hero of the day,
and the officers of the fleet, in all the
glory of their gold-laced uniforms and
gold-trimmed cooked hats, were in
open barouches. Mayor Van Wyck
sat beside Admiral Dewey. The front
seat of the carriage was banked with
beautiful floral pieces. The hero was
recognized by the people on the in
stant, and the cheers and hnzzahs along
the line of march, seemed fairly to lift
the sky. Everybody cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down in
frantic enthusiasm.
