CAPTURED BY LADRONES. Mayor of a Morons; Town Is in tht Hands ot Hostile Filipinos. Manila, March 4. While Governor Flores, of the province of Rizal, was chasing Felizardo and his band of lad rones over the hills of Cavite province, Felizardo, at the head of 25 men, en tered Cainta, in Morong province, and captured the presidente of the town, Senor Ampil, and a majority of the lo cal police. Senor Ampil has long been known as an enthusiastic American sympathizer, and it ia feared that he may be killed by the enraged ladrones. A strong force of constabulary has been sent to effect his release. The correspondence captured with General Lukban is of the greatest val ue. It implicates several Filipinos who have not heretofore been suspected of complicity with the insurgents. The United States Philippine com mission has received a cablegram from the governor of Cebu, saying that a violent assault had been committed by the municipal police of that place upon the Spanish consul there. The gov ernor says the assault was instigated by the presidente of Cebu, Senor Reyes, who has been suspended, pending an investigation, which was at once or dered. The Spanish consul was pop ular and well liked. The American, Spanish, British and German merchants of Manila and the local press held a meeting to remon strata against the prohibitive tariff, which tbey declared to he crippling the industries and resource of the archi pelago.

Cemeteries Inundated and Burials Have to Be Postponed Water Company Is th Heaviest Loser Silk Milts Compelled to Cose Down and Employes Will Suffer ia Consequence Bridge Washed Away. Paterson, N. J., March 5. The high water has caused much sufferiug in this city. All the cemeteries -are flooded, and all burials have to be postponed. The water is now falling at the rate of three-quarters of an inch. The work of getting out th im prisoned in the upper t-tories of houses in the flooded districts went on during the day. Those who were taken out of the flooded section were cared for by friends or joined the refugees at the Armory. At the Armory, the scene resembles that on t. day after the fire. The relief work under Mrs. Garrett A. Hobutt's direction is in full swing, and everything possible is being done for the homeless. In the Hooded district are dozens of silk mills that must remain idle for the present, and some of them for a consid erable time to come. The suffering must necessarily be great among the hundreds of persons employed in these establishments, many of w hi ru have large families to support. The East Jersey Water Compuny is by far the worst sufferer from the flood. The loss to this company will probably amount to $1,500,000." ' . A bridtte at Dundee Island, near Passaic, N. J., was washed away dur ing the night. It was reported that six persons who were on the bridge were drowned, but their names could not be learned. OUT OF THEIR BANKS. Record Breaking Floods In Eastern States Waters Now Receding,. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 5. A heavy rain fall and a rush of water from its upper tributaries caui-ed the north branch of the Susquehanna river to rise rapidly, the gauge sinewing 31 feet 3 inches. It is thought there will be another rise of a few inches befrre the water recedes. This mark is equal to that of 18rio, which Was a record breaker. The water is over the banks of the river from Pittston to Nanticoke and resem bles a vast lake. Neurlv one-haif of the city is under water. At West moor, Firwood and Riverside, nearly all residents have vacated their houses. The water has reached the first stories and is gradually going up to the second. Those who lingered too long had to be removed in boats. The cellars of the Sterling and Wyoming Vallev hotels and manv mercantile houses in the cen tral part of the city are tilled with water. The people living on River and adjoining streets, which is the princi pal residence portion of the rity, are hemmed in by waterand are unable to leave their homes unless by boat. All the streets in West Pittston are under feveral feet of water. Two hundred families living in the lowlands in the town of Plymouth had to leave their houses hastily, the water covering the first floors and putting out the tires. Washouts are reported all along the line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and many mines are flooded. Nine lives have been lost so far. Th casualties for the past 24 hours were three. The property loss ia already estimated at $1,000,000. Traffic Resumed at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, March 5. This city and Allegheny have so far recovered from the flood as to have resumed all ordin ary traffic, and to have, in a great measure, overcome the inconvenience brought about by the high waters. The only portions of either city still under water are the lower parts of Penn avenue, in Pittsbura, and the Woods Run district in Allegheny. Both of these sections will be out of the water's clutches before morning, as the rivers are steadily falling here and at all above points. Conservative men place the total loss here at about $1,250,000. This in cludes the loss to the thousands of workmen in wages, as well as the actual property loss. Reliable merchants say the loss in the Penn avenue district alone, from the Lincoln hotel to Twelfth Street, probably will exceed $300,000. Historic Bridge Washed Away. Harrisburg, Pa., March 5.

No Appropriation for Portage Railway at The Dalles Harbor Committee Objects. Washington, March 1. The commit tee on rivers and harbors will not eon sent to insert a portage railway scheme in the bill for a temporary expedient at The Dalles. ' Some of the members were disposed to withdraw, but th im pression prevails that the only improve ment that can be made there ia a canal. Had the engineers in the various re ports agreed upon the cost of a canal, it is possible the authorization would have been made in this river and harbor bill, but the committee generally re gards the estimate of Captain Harts as too liberal, and feels that be haa not used the proper care in submitting his plan, and will therefore recommend a new survey with an appropriation for that purpose. Tho committee, having visited the site of the proposed canal, is practically unanimous in saying the latest estimate ia far too great, yet most all tho members admit that tho opening of the river is very essential. The committee will repeal the boat railway proposition that has been pend ing so long, but the balance of about $200,000 now remaining will not be converted into the treasury, but will b allowed to stand as an appropriation towanis a canal. It is expected that when the bill passes through the senate and conference this boat railway bal ance wiil be made available for the new survey and examination. The committee is making a liberal allowance for Oregon improvements generally, and claims that the amounts appropriated will be sufficient to insure the continuation of the work for the next two years. It has been decided to make a slightly smaller allowance for the Columbia than was carried in the bill which suffered defeat in the last congress, the committee .taking the position that $600,000 is more that) can profitably be used in this time. If the house does not provide for a con tinuing contract at the mouth of the river, the senate will' pr.bably make this change, so that the initial appro priation will be a matter of small con sequence. Appropriations for continu ing contracts are made each year by th sundry civil bill. ASKS RIGHT OF WAY. Columbia Valley Railway Wants to Cross the Government Military Reserves. Washington, Feb. 27. Representa tive Jones has introduced bills granting right of way to the Columbia Vallev, Railroad Company for the construction of a railroad and telegraph line across the Vancouver. Three Tree Point and the Scarborough Head military reserva tions and the reservation in the quar antine station opposite Astoria, the right of way to be 100 feet in width. The passage of this bill will practi cally complete the right of way for th Columbia Valley Railroad from a point on the Columbia river opposite Wallula to the mouth of the stream, a distance of 321 miles, except for that part of the line between Vancouver and Kalama, where the building of the Washington & Oregon road has rendered necessary another survey by the Columbia Valley Company. No construction work has yet been done, but the survey has been made and everything will be in readi ness for progress when the required rightr across the government reserves shall be granted. The company is cap italized at $3,000,000. Nothing is given out regarding th forces behind the Columbia Valley Railroad organization, but it appears to be very much alive, and it is not deemed probable that so much activity would be manifested unless there was a serious intent behind it. A line down the north bank of the Columbia might not work to the disadvantage of Port land, because the bridge to be built at Vancouver will let trains across to Port land without inconvenience. But it seems to contemplate a harbor at the mouth of the Columbia on tho north side of the river, and much nearer the sea than Astoria is. It is said that the Columbia valley enterprise is not re lated to any of th present railroad combinations, but is a wholly independ ent venture: Beaumont Gusher Breaks Loose. Beaumont, Tex., March 1. One of the big six-inch oil gushers was being exhibited late today, when it blew out the section of pip connecting the gate valve and went wild. It is throw ing a solid stream oi oil tonight.

CAUGHT IX A TRAP BRITISH KILL AND CAPTURE 800 BOERS IN TWO DAYS. Kitchener Report a Big Success in Orange River Colony Anniversary of Majuba Day Combined Movement Forced the Dutch Against a Blockhouse Line That They Could Not Force. London, March 1. Following the precedent of Lord Roberts, who an nounced. General Cronje's surrender at Paardeburg on the anniversary of th battle of Majuba Hill (February 27, 1881), Lord Kitchener apparenlty se lected the same anniversary to achieva a big success by a combined movement, lasting two das, against the Boer forces, within the Harrismith and Van Reenaa line of blockhouses. TheBoer losses aggregate 600 men killed or captured, and 2,000 horses and 28,000 head of cattle fell into the hands of the British Iroops. This news was so welcome to tho British that it was read out in the house of commons by the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, from a dispatch of Lord Kitchener as follows: "Harrismith, Feb. 28. Yesterday 'he combine,! jperations of the columns terminated in driving the Boers atrainst the Harrismith anil Van Reenan block houses line. The River Wilge was held by the Leicester regiment and Elliott's mounted infantry from Har rismith, while the columns formed on the Frankfort aud Botha's Pass block house line and advanced south, holding the country between the Wilge and tho Natal frontier. "On the first night, a severe attempt to break through was made at a point between Remington's and Byng's col umns, and the New Zealander s be haved with great gallantry. The fight ing was at close quarters and the Boers drove a large herd of cattle in front of them, as usual. Manie Botha, the Boer leader, was killed and 35 dead Boers were found on the ground. Over 100 head of horses were killed and 6,000 head of cattle were left on our hands. Other small attemdts to break out wero made and in two cases succeeded. On the last day 450 Boers with rifles and horses were captured. "All the columns have not vet re ported, as the operations have been wide, but over 600 Boers have been killed or are prisoners in our hands, also 2,000 horses, 28,000 head of rattle. 200 wagons, 60,000 head of nheep, 600 rifles and 50,000 rounds of ammuni tion. The prisoners include General Dewet's son and his secretary, Com mandants Ieyer and Truther, and sev eral field cornets. These satisfactory results are very appropriate on the an niversary of Majuba. ' DINES WITH EDITORS. Banquet in Honor of Prince Henry Guests Number One Thousand. New York, Feb. 27. Prince Henrv of Prussia dined last night with 1,000 of the men who make American newspa pers. He was the siecial guest of Her man Ridder, proprietor of the New York Staata Zeitung, who gathered at his table a majority of the leading fig ures in American journalism. They came from the four quarters of tho country, and made the most noteworthy gathering of their profession ever as sembled in the United States. There was a felicitous exchange of greetings between Prince Henry and the men who spoke for the journalistic craft, and the affair claims rank with one of the nottfble incidents in the American tour of the German prince. The dinner was given in the handsome ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria, but that immense room was not large enough to accommodate the newspaper guests, and the Astor gallery was also used. The two rooms were splendidly decorated. Mr. Ridder and the special guest sat at an elevated table, above which were the American and German flags. The staves were crossed and the banners, draped fanlike, reached out like the wings of a huge butterfly. Above them wag the Prussian Eagle, done in incandescent lights. From the boxes hung vines, and set in on the ledges were hundreds of palms. Each table carried boqnets of American Beauties. Ta Clear Rizal Province. Manila, Feb. 27.
