One Day's Fighting.
REBELS CAUGHT IN A TRAP
They Ran Away When Battle Was Of
fered and Kept Ont
of Itange.
London, March 21. A dispatch from
Manila says:
In the fighting of Sunday the Ameri
can loss was seven killed and 80 wound
ed. Among the killed is Private Jamea
Page, of company D, and Private
Thomas J. Smith, of company E, Sec
ond Oregon.
Among the incidents of yesterday's
fighting was the coolness exhibited by
a company of Washington volunteers,
who crossed the river in a native canoe
under a heavy fire, 15 being taken
across on each trip of the small boat,
to attack the enemy's trenohes. The
inability of the oommissary train to
keep np witli the advance led to con
siderable suffering; and many of the
men were completely exhausted when
they were recalled, and, falling from
the ranks, weie strung along for a dis
tance of almost six miles, numbers re
turning to camp in the artillery ambu
lances, which were always close up to
the lines. The work of the ambulances
was especially worthy of mention.
Among the dead are several who were
previously reported as wounded.
Kebels Were Entrapped.
Manila, March 81. Some of the
rebels recently expelled from Cavite
and the small' towns in the vicinity of
Pasig combined forces and last night,
as already cabled, attacked a company
of tbe Washington volunteers, a de
tached post at Taguig, about a mile
and a half southeast of Pasig. Gen
eral Wheaton immediately reinforced
tho Americans with two companies
eaoh of the Washington and Oregon
regiments. The post had held the
enemy in check, and the fire of tbe re
enforcing companies repulsed them,
diiving them aorow to an island formed
by the estuary. They were thus in
front of the Twenty-second legulars.
On discovering that they wero en
trapped the rebels fought desperately,
aided materially by the jungle and the
darkness, but they were completely
routed, with heavy loss, after two
hours' fighting. The Americans lost
two killed and 20 wounded, among the
latter Lieutenant Frank Jones.
General Wheaton determine I to pun
ish the ntives, and at daybreak today
his brigade started in the fallowing or
der: The Sixth artillery, holding the
extreme right; the Oregon volunteers,
holding the center, the Washington
regiment keeping to 'the edge of the
lake, and the Twenty second regulars,
occupying the right of the line, which
swept the whole country along the lake
within a southeasterly direction, to
ward General Overshine's position.
The line thus extended over two miles
of country, rough and covered with
thick jungle, advanced eleven miles.
The enemy fled, the last of them being
seen about 8:30 this afternoon. At
scarcely any time did the Americans
get within 1,300 yards of them.
AGUINALDO A TYRANT.
Condemning AH Wha Favor Reconcil
iation With America.
Manila, March 21. It is reported,
on hitherto reliable authority, that
Agninaldo is taking extreme measures
to suppress signs calculated to cause n
cessation of hostilities. Twelve ad
herents of the plan of independence,
residents of Manila, have been con
demned to death because thev were ad
vising surrender, and all loyal Fili
pinos have been called upon to perform
the national service of dispatching
them.
On Friday last, La Garda visited
Lagorda for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
tbe insurgent leader, and attempted to
convince him of the folly of his per
sistence in the face of overwhelming
odds. Aguinaldo was furious at the
advanoe and ordered General La Garda
to be exeouted immediately.

Was Called Preservallne.
Leavenworth, Kan., March 21. The
army beef court of inquiry ooncluded
tbe taking of testimony at Fort Leav
enworth at noon today, and at 4:15 de
parted for Chicago, where the session

examined today was Sergeant Edward
Mason, troop A, first United States
oavalry, located at Fort Robinson, Ne
braska, who served as regimental com
missary sergeant at Lakeland, Fla.,
and during the Cuban campaign.
Sergeant Mason 'a testimony was
probably the most direct that bad been
adduced since the court left Chicago.
Witness declared that the meat re
ceived at Lakeland for use in bis regi
ment was "undoubtedly chemically
treated." "An agent of Armour &
Co.," he further testified, "told meat
the time that this meat had been
treated w;th what was called preserv
alin" " Witness had refused to ao-
coDt the meat.
AWFUL HOTEL FIRE.
Many Lives Lost In the Burning of the
Windsor, New York.
New York, March 20. Flame
which originated from the igniting of
a lace curtain, burst forth from tne sec
ond floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty
Beventh stieet and Fifth avenue, short
ly after 8 o'clock this afternoon, just
as the St. Patrick's day parade was pas
sing the building, and in a few mo
ments they had leaped to the roof and
enveloped the entire Fifth-avenue and
Forty-seventh street fronts of the hotel.
Ten minutes later tbe flames were roar
ing through the interior of the hotel,
and all escape by means of the stair
ways and elevators was cut off.
There was the wildest scene of excite
ment within and without the building.
Hundreds of guests and employes were
in the hotel when the fire broke out,
and for many of them to esoape with
safety was impossible. Probably 15
1 i vee were lost within a half hour, and
45 or 60 persons were injured in jump
ing from windows and in rushing
through the roaring flames in the cor
ridors and stairways. Many who were
injured died later in nearby residences
and at hospitals, and others who made
wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were
so badly injured that they are still
hovering between life and death. It
may be 24 hours or more before the
complete list of fatalities becomes
known, and it will be longer than that
before it can be ascertained definitely
how many charred bodies are in the
mass of fallen masonry that mark the
spot where the hotel stood.
Thus far 14 are known to be dead,
42 injured, and 41 missing.
TO POLICE PHILIPPINE WATERS.
Mosquito rieet Will lie Sent to Ad
miral Dewey.
Washington, March 30. The navy
department ia taking steps toward the
formation of a mosquito fleet for the
Philippines, Tbe conditions now pre
vailing in Luzon indicate that for a
long time it will be necessary to main
tain a strict police of the ooast and in
land waters. For the inland work,
especially, the department will need
some very liglit-iiraught boats, for
this work the big ocean tugs thai
formed the mosquito fleet that operated
around Cuba during tbe blockade, and
of which the government has a num
ber, tiro now being looked over with a
view to just this service. Some ol
them are on the PaoiHo coast.
The department has figured out a
coasting voyage that will take them up
the Alaskan coast, ooaling at Sitka, to
Unalasku and Cook inlet, thence down
througli the Aleutian islands to Hako
date, the northern point of Japan, from
wheie they can make the run across
the China sea down to Hong Kong and
thence to the Philippines. It will be
about a two-months' voyage, but one
that can be made safely.
Avalanche on the Great Northern.
Seattle, Wash., March 20. A huge
avalanche of ice aud snow on the Great
Northern railway, near Wellington,
has done so much damage that traffic
between this city and Spokane will he

iron bridge 100 feet long has been car
ried away. The slide is located be
tween Wellington and Madison, about
17 miles west of the switchback. Pend

London, March 20. The Beriin cor
respondent of the Standard, discussing
the recent visit to the German capital
of Mr. Cecil Rhodes in connection
witli his Cape-tc-Cairo railway project,
says:
The government, it is believed, will
submit to the reinhstag a bill asking a
guarantee of 8 per cent interest for
that portion of the line which crosses
German lenitory in Eist Africa; This
section will he Imilt and worked ex
clusively br Germans and superintend
ed by the German government It is
not unlikely, however, that a portion
of the capital will be offered for sub
scription in England.

TIIE ALASKA TROUBLE
British Ambassador Suggests
a Modus Vivendi.
TEMPORARY LIS E MAY REDRAWN
Governor Brady Warnd ihe Govern,
uient and Asked That Troops Us
Bent to the Scene.
. Washington, Muroh 22. The Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Julian Pauucefote,
conferred today with Secretary Hay in
reference, it id understood, to a mod in
Vivendi to be observed along the Alaska
border in order to obviate the possi
bility of a clash, pending the final de
limitation of the border.
The need of tli is has been emphasized
within the last few days by reports of
a battle between the Canadian and the
American prospectors on the Prooupine
river. These reports have caused con
siderable uneasiness in official circles
in London, and efforts have been made
to learn the facta. There has been no
official information, however,- either
here or in London. Just such a clash
has been expected, and the reports have
served to direct the attention of officials
of the need of effecting a border ar
rangement. The preliminary move in
this direction was made as soon aa the
Anglo-American commission adjourned
without settling the border question.
Sir Julian then suggested that a tem
porary arrangement be made. This
would maintain the status quo, each
Bide making no further advance pend
ing a final agreement on the boundary.
A temporary line probably will be
run by tho two governments. This
would not affeot permanent interests,
but would serve as a legal barrier be
tween tbe lawless fortune-seekers in
that locality. The plan is favorably
received on both sides, and is likely to
be carried into effect, although no
agreement has been entered into thus
far.
Some important statements concern
ing the boundary line situation are
given in official correspondence now on
file in the state and interior depart
ments, whioh has nevei been made
public.
Governor Brady, of vAlaska, as long
ago as the latter part of February called
attention to the extremely threatening
! condition of affairs. February 21,
Governor Brady, who was here, had a
oonferenoe with both Seorctarv Bliss,
who was then just leaving the cabinet,
and Secretary Hay, in which he urged
that the aggressive acta of the Can a
dians should be promptly met.
A FATHER'S TERRIBLE CRIME
Killed His Five Children and Attempt
ed to Cremate the Kemalns.
Hutchinson, Kan., March 22. An
atrooinus orime was revealed here to
day when the coroner and his assist
nuts removed the dead bodies of five
little children from t' e house occupied
by John Moore, which burned at an
early hour. A coroner's jury investi
gated the case, and, in accordance with
the jury's recommendation, Mooio, the
father of the dead children, was arrest
ed on a charge of murder.
When the firemen and neighbors
reached the burning house, the father
was the only member of the family of
seven found outside. His actions were
queer, and he would not talk. While
the building was still burning and his
children within the burning walls, be
took a horse from his stable and rode
away. When the fireman entered the
house, alter having partly quenched
the flames, they found the five chil
dren, lying Bide by side, in a bed on
the floor, all dead, but not badly
burned.
The coroner's autopsy held this af
ternoon developed convincing evidence
of an awful crime. The skull of each
child was deeply Indented, and fiom
the dents long fractures extended. All
but one of the children had been
stabbed in the neck. The throat of the
little 8-year-old, a boy,;. had been
slashed so deep that the spinal column
had been severed. It was upon these
facts and the strange behavior of the
father, that the authorities base their
charge of murder.
When Moore was called before the
coroner's jury to testify, he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire, and that his children
had met death in the flames. He testi
fied that he was awakened from a deep
sleep by the smoke, hiid he found the
house afire all over. It was 16 min
utes, he said, before he recovered his
senses, and then he did not try to save
the children, because he knew that
they must be dead, as the fire had
started in the room in which they were
sleeping. His riding away from the
fire he explained by stating that his
wife was away from home attending a
sick lritmd, and that he wont to tell
ber of their loss. Moore showed little
conoern when the jury roturned the
verdict charging him with murder.
Soudan expedition In the Fs)l.
London, March 21. An Anglo
Egyptian expedition will ; be under
taken next autumn, according 'o a dis
patch from Cairo to the Daily Mail, to
finally dispose of his khalifa, Abdullah,
and the other dervish leaders in the
Soudan.
FOERZA PRISON CABLE.
No Evidence That It Was Used In
Mowing Up the Maine.
Havana, March 22. Captain T. L.
Huston, of the volunteer engineers,
was questioned today by a press corre
spondent on the subject of the story
printed by a local newspaper at Cincin
nati, saying that the location of the
keyboard by which the United States
battle-ship Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor on February 15, 1808,
had been found by him in a gunroom
of the Foerza prison, while engaged in
cleaning out the fortifications. The
oaptain said the use of his name in
this connection was not authorized. He
showed tire correspondent a cable with
several wires running into the harbor
from Foerza prison, opposite Cabanas
fortress. One wire was connected with
a disnsod telegraph instrument in a
neighboring government building.
Though the cable has not been investi
gated by the United States engineers,
the supposition is that it runs to Ca
banas, acroBS tire harbor, and has been
used for telegraphing. There is a re
mote chanoe that the wires in the cable
were connected with mines or torpedos,
but there is no indication that it had
anything to do with the blowing up of
the Maine. The end of the cable
sticking out of Foerza prison has been
seen by tourists for weeks past. Many
soldiers have also seen the oable, and
many have expressed the belief that it
was used to blow up the Maine.
PAPER MONEY SCARCE.
Due to Greater Volume of Business, Not
to Decrease In the Supply.
Washington, March 22. Controller
of the Currency Dawes, in answer to
inquiries today in regard to the ap
parent scarcity of paper money, said.
"The chief reason for the growing
demand for paper money is unquestion
ably the increase in the general volume
of business Tiiere has been no re
duction' in t. i amount of paper money
which of itself would cause scarcity.
The situation in reference to bills is
brought about by the increased demand
and not by a decrease in the supply.
"The amount of papor money in cir
culation March 1, 1899, is much gi eat
er than it was one year ago. While
the decrease in circulation in the

Teace In lorto Rico.
San Juan de Porto Rico, March 21.
The reports contained in newspapers
juBt recoived here, alleging that dan
ger exists of an uprising of the natives,
are regarded with astonishment, and
are absolutely without foundation in
fact. The only disturbances that have
occurrod here have been local fights
between the American volunteers and
the lower classes. The press corre
spondent,' who has juBt returned from
an extended trip through the island,
found only occasional evidences of dis
satisfaction resulting from brawls, and
local politics, nnd the American officers
now here ridicule the idea of an up
rising of the natives, who, they say,
are without weapons, and are entirely
lucking in organization.
