Manila, April 15.—General Lawton
has captured Paete, the citadel of the
Lagunna de Bay territory, eight wiles
beyond Luniban.
Lawton’s force was at Lumban, and
the battalion of the North Dakota vol
unteers made a forced march of 12
miles from Pagasjan.
The troop*
made a forward rush, fording the rivers
twice and lighting in the jungle. The
column advanced and met a crosstire,
and some of the Dakota troops were
ambushed by rebels behind a sunken
trench. Finally the trenches were
taken by the rushing Americans with
a loss of live killed and two wounded.
The insurgent loss was entail. Th«
gunboats shelled the Filipinos an hour,
and finally cleared the trenches.
There are not enough men to gar
rison the towns taken, and they may
be abandoned.

New York, April 15.—The dinner of
the Democratic club in honor of the
anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson was held at the Metroimlitan
opera-house. Looking from the tiers
to the floor of the vast dining-hall, the
tables seemed like great beds of roses.
The 32 tables were on either side of
the speaker’s table. Either table was
piled with a mass of roses and ferns in
tertwined.
So abundant were the
flowers that some of the guests were
hardly able to see each other over the
floral banks. Swans and vases of ala
baster held flowers; there were cornu
copias or horns of plenty filled with
flowerB and fruit, and the scene was set
off wi(h ribbons of cardinal silk.
Perry Belmont, Richard Croker,
Judge Van Wyck and other prominent
Democrats spoke.

PROPITIOUS
OUTLOOK
Prices Are Exceptionally High and
Canneries Are I're pa red to Begin I
Operations ou a Large Scale.
Astoria, April 17.—The fishing sea
son opened at noon yesterday, and pre
parations have been made by both fish
ermen and canneiymen for handling
the largest pack put up on this river
for years. An uuusually large num
ber of boats went out, and every can
nery is prepared to begin operations on
a large scale at once, ami, with the ex-
ceptionally good prices prevailing for
both raw and canned salmon, every in
dication points to a most successful
season.
As to the run of fish, of course, noth-
ing can be foretold, but under natural
conditions some decided results should
be obtained from the artificial propa
gation that has been carried on mors
or less successfully on the Columbia
river and its branches during the past
few years. Last season a few of the
fry turned out from the hatcheries in
1896 returned to the river, and thia
year the returns should be largely in
creased. While the work of artificial
propagation on a systematic basis has
but just commenced on the Columbia,
still it has been carried on to some ex*
tent since 1895, and during that time
nearly 70.000,000 young Balmon have
been placed in the river and its tribu-
taries. Statistics gathered by the fish-
eiies committee of the Progressive As-
sociation show the amount of fry from
the several hatcheries to be as follows:

THE
MOVE.
General Lawton Makes It Warm for the
Southern Rebels.
Manila, April 17.—General Lawton
is marching north along the road be
tween tire hills aud the lake, with the
guutoats Napidan and Laguna de Bay
abreast of his troops. The enemy is
retreating northward.
Wednesday the troops crossed the
Pagsongan and concentrated at Lam-
bun, at the mouth of the river. After
leaving two companies of the Four
teenth regiment to guard the entrance
of tberirer, the troops inarched to
Longas and found it deserted. Furni
ture which had been diopped in tire
flight of the natives was scattered along
the trails leading into the hills.
Major Weisenberger's sharpshooters
were sent toward Pactos Ancoutenca in
the afternoon. They ran upon a nest
of rebels in some thick bushes, which
afforded a spleuuid cover. Three men
of the North Dakota regiment were
killed and four were wounded, two of
the latter dying after having been
brought to Longas church, where
Father McKinnon a (ministered the
sacrament to them.
The main body of American troops,
while at dinner in Longas, heard the
firing and advanced to the support of
the sharpshooters. A scout from the
hills saw the little fight and many
whitecoats running into the hills. The
Laguna de Bay, at the beginning of
the fight, shelled the rebels, making it
too hot for the enemy.
The Americans entered San Antonio
at sunset without meeting with any re
sistance. Twenty unarmed prisoners
bearing copies of the proclamation of
the United States coinmision, which
they had somehow secured, were after
ward released and sent outside our
lines with bundles of proclamations to
distribute.
The country just occupied is thickly
populated, and produces much fruit.

Entrenched Rebels Routed.
Manila, April 17.—Starting in an
easterly direction along the road to
Pagsangan.a party of 70 slraipshooters,
under Lieutenant Southern, of the
Washington regiment, came upon a
trench across tire road about a mile out
of Santa Cruz. Lieutenant Southern
was wounded.
The Americans then advanced with
mounted guns, ami the Fourteenth in
fantry battalions in the center, Linck’s
battalion of the First Idaho infantry
on tire light, and Fraine’s battalion of
the First North Dakota infantry on the
left, both flanking. The trench was
carried without lose to the Americans.
Pageangan was found deserted. Four
monuments on the border of the village
celebrate the proclamation of Filipino
independence, issued last year, and
glorify “Aguinaldo, the Liberator.”
The troops on enteiing the aban
doned houses found them in perfect or

changed and one member of the Four
teenth regiment was accidentally shot
in the leg by hie comrade.

W««k Wool Market.
E. Y. Judd, of the Pendleton Wool
Scouring & Packing Company, writes
from tire East that the recent organisa
tion of the worsted mill trust has de
moralized the wool market and is
largely tesponsible for the decline in
the price of wool, as buyers are at sea
as to the future action of the trust and
are unable to determine what their
own action is to be. Mr. Judd says
that this trust alone will consume
100.000,000 pounds of wool annually,
which is one-third of the total annual
product of the country.
The wool
trust has not yet entered the market,
and have given no hint of their inten
tion. As soon as the unbertainty of
their action is removed the market may
have a firmer tone and it may not. The
outlook for wool this year is not the
best, as everybody ia timid on a de
clining market.

The control of the fish-taking appli

Chicago, April 17.—Mrs. George
Baude*, whose busband deserted her
at Quincy, III., last September, has
located him through a dream. Bauder
spent last night in the county jail as
a result. Mis. Bauder applied to Jus
tice Hall for a warrant, telling the fol
lowing story:
After her husband left her she moved
to St. Louis, where her mother in-law,
whom she had never seen, lived. She
introduced herself as a fortune-teller,
and told the elder woman the details
of her son’s life. Mrs. Bauder, sr.,
then admitted that lie was in Chicago.
The deserted wife then moved to
this city, but could find no trace of her
husband. On Wednesday night, how
ever, she dreamed she saw him at
work in a bicycle factory near an im
mense building. That day she passed
Tattersall's, and recognized it aB being
the big stiucture of her dream. Search
ing the neighborhood, she soon found
the bicycle factory. Satisfied that her
husband worked there, she secured the
warrant and visited the place with a
deputy.
Bauder was soon located.
At first he denied his identity, but
later confessed be was the woman’s
husband. He will be given a hearing
this afternoon.
