Wiped Out By Fire.
Washington, Oct. i. A question having arisen as to
the accurancy of the cablegram received at the War De
partment from General Chaffee, the cable company was di
rected to repeat it. The repetition disclosed some inaccur
acies that materially change the messace. As correcled
the dispatch reads:
"Manila, Sept 20. Adjutant-GeneraL Washington.
Hughes reports following from Bassey, Southern Samar:
Twenty-four men, Company C, Ninth Regiment,
United States Infantry, n wounded, have iust arrived from
Balangiga; remainder company killed. Insurgents secured
all company supplies and all rifles exceDt three. Company
was attacked during breakfast morning September 2S; com
pany 72 strong; Officers, Thomas W. Connell, Captain;
Edward A. Bumpus, First Lieutenant; Dr. R. S. Griswold,
Major-Surgeon.' 'CHAFFEE.'
As corrected the dispatch shows that Company C of
the Ninth In'antTy, suffered the disaster. No company
was mentioned in the dispatch made public yesterday.
The serious discrepancy between the original and the cor
rected disratches, however, is that the latter indicates that
the commissioned officers of the company are missing, per
haps killed, while the former indicated that they had
caped.

Washington, Oct 1. The following cablegram was
received at the War Department this afternoon from Gen
eral Chaffee:
"Manila, Oct. 1., 12:23 p.m. Adjutant-General, Wash
ington. ith reference to your telegram of the 30th insl.
will cable names of the missing enlisted men as soon as as
certained. The comoanv was rushed about 6 o'clock in the
morning by a large body of Bolomen, about 400, General
Hughes thinks the surprise was due to the confidence cf
the commanding officer in assertions of friendship from the
natives. Result of the investigation will be cabled as soon
as obtained."
This message is in response to one sent to C-nerri
ChaffwS by General Corbin on Sunday immediately upon
receipt of the news of the disaster to Company C, of the
Ninth Infantry.
ROYALTY AT VANCOUVER.
Vancouver. Oct i. The Duke and Duchess of
Cornwall and York passed over the Canadian Pacific rail
road the first of the week and spent Momday at Van
couver. The Koval train arrived at noon. After tie
presentation of an address by the Mayor, the Dake and
Duchess were driven in the royal carriage, drawn bv six
horses with royal outriders, to the new drill hall, which
was tormally opened by the Duke. - His roval hiehness
- v w
afterward presented medals to South African veterans and
was entertained at luncheon. They remained at Van
couver until Tuesday morning.
GRESHAM'S DISASTROUS FIRE.
Portland, Oct 2. Gresham, a little town 13 miles
east of Portland, was practically destroyed by fire early
Tuesday morning. The total loss is about $ 20,00a Nine
buildings, in all were burned before the fire was stopp-1.
Nearly all who lost buildings will begin to rebuild at
once, as their trade was large and profitable. None of the
losers were made bankrupt by their misfortune, but were
badly crippled. Their business was particularly good just
now, and the merchants were already laying in their winter
goods. It will take them several months at a bad season
of the year to get into running shape again, but they are
all practical pushers and will resume business as soon as
possible.
TO CALL THEM M'KINLEY ISLANDS.
New York, Sept 30. A suggestion which is meet
ing with favor is to change the name of the Philippine
Islands to the McKinley Islands, says the - Washington
correspondent of the Tribune. It is intended to bring the
proposition before the next Congress. A part of the
scheme embraces the idea of bestowing upon the different
islands and provinces the names of the men most promin
entia' identified with the acquisition and management of
the islands. For instance, the members of the American
Commission which negotiated the Paris treaty would thus
be honored, .as well as the names of Admiral De jvey, Gen
eral Lawton, Governor Taft, General Otis, Secretary Root
and others.
