Manila, July 22.—Xeiv» has been re ceived here from General Smith, at Ho Ilo, island of Panay, of a severe tight Wednesday at Bobong, between Cap tain Byrne, of the Sixteenth infantry, with 70 men, and a force of 450 Babay- lones, who surprise! the American troops. One hundred and fifteen of the enemy were killed, as is shown by , actual count; many were wounded and one was taken prisoner. The j American loss was one man killed and one wounded. The lighting was mostly at close 1 quarters with bayonets and clubbed ! guns. A considerable stock of supplies and arms lias been captured by Captain Byrne, who is in command of the bat- , talion operating at La Cariota, in the district of Negros. An order has been issued regulating j practice before the courts and eubsti- | tuting tiie American for the Spanish ' system in important respects. It abol- ’ ishes procurators who correspond some- , what to solicitors it. the English courts, all the duties heretofore performed by procurators devolving upon attorneys. I Menrebers of the bar must be residents of the island. Citizens of foreign gov ernments are ineligible to practice at the bar. .Members of the American J bar are eligible. The order gives tiie courts sole power to determine the qualifications of attorneys, which here- j tofore has been a function of the bar . association, and the church schools have controlled admission to the bar. The changes outlined have been made j iu accordance with the wishes of the Filipinos, and disappoint the Span iards, who petitioned to be admitted tc the bar without renouncing allegiance to Spain.

LAWS FOR TAGALS. Municipal Governments in I'lilltpplne Cities—Couiiilijslou Reports to Hay. Washington, July 20.—The follow ing statement was giving out this after noon at the state department: "The state department received yes terday from the Philippine commission adfices conveying these facts: "Bv the co-operation of the military and the commission, municipal govern ments have been established in seven complete towns in the provinces of Ma nila and Cavite. These are working admirably, and one good effect of them is that considerable numbers of insur gents are constantly deserting and com ing in, some of them with arms. The system will be soon extended to other towns, which are asking for it. Con tinued success in this direction will mean the beginning of the end. The commissioners state that the general situation is as described in the message of General Otis of June 26, except that a number of ports in the southern part of Luzon, in Leyte and other islands to the south have been opened to trade. Dispatches from Di. Schurman. on his return from his trip through the south ern part of the archipelago were of the same purport. A disposition to accept American sovereignty and to welcome our troops was every where manifested.'1 FIGHTING IN SAMOA. Several Native« Killed and oil J uly 4. Wounded WORLD'S GREATEST INFIDEL Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll Passed Away Suddenly. A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE The Knd Came Without Warning. the Only Person Present at the Time Be ing Ilia Wife—ilia Last Words. New York, July 24 —Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll died at his home, Walston- on-Hud son. near Dobb’s Ferry, today, His death was sudden and unexpected, and te ulted from heart disease, fiom which lie had suffered since 1896. In that year, during the republican na- ional convention, he was taken ill and had to return home. He never fully recovered from the attack of heart dis ease, and was under the care of physi cians constantly. For tiie last three days, Mr. Ingersoll had not been feeling well. Last night lie was in better health and spent a portion of the evening playing billiards with Walston H. Brown, bis son-in- law, and C. P. Farrell, his brother-in- law and private secretary. He seemed to be in better Health and spirits when he retired tlian he liad been for several days. Tins morning he rose at tiie usual hour and joined the family at break fast. He then said lie had spent a bad night, but felt better. He had been suffering from abdominal pains and tightness about the chest, lie did not think his condition at all dangerous. After breakfast he telephoned to Dr. Smith, his physician, who is at Bell Haven, and told him of hie experience during the night. Dr. Smith told him to continue the use of nitro glycerine, and that lie would see him during the day. CoJone! Ingersoll spent the morn ing swinging in a hammock and sitting on the veranda with the members of his family. He said he was better aud had no pain. At 12:30 he started to go up stairs. On reaching the head of the stairs, Col onel Ingesroll turned into his wife’s room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there. To gether they discussed wiiat they would have for luncheon, and Colonel Inger soll said he had better not eat much, owing to tiie trouble with his stomach. He seemed in good spirits then. After talking for a few minutes. Col onel Ingersoll crossed the loom and sat down iu a rocking chair. Mrs. Inger soll asked him how he was feeling, and ihe replied: "Oil, better.” These were his last words. A second after they were uttred he was dead. The only sign noticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was that the whites of his eyes suddenly showed. There was not even a sigh or a groan as death came. Doctors were hastily called, but their veidiot was that death had coins instantly. TRANSPORT INDIANA ARRIVES. Bring« Sick Soldier« From Philippine Regiments. San Francisco, July 24.—The Uni- led States transport Indiana arrived In lay fiom Manila, the journey occupy ing 32 days. The vessel was sent to quarantine. Tiie Indiana lias 858 sick soldiers on board and a number of Red Gross nurses. Tiie sick soldiers were taken fiom the various regiments, and x great many of them are suffering from wounds received in battle. Private Edward Crawford, Twenty, tiiird infantry, jumped overboard while insane, and was drowned. Among tiie bodies brought back form the Philip pines was that of Major Diggles, of the Thirteenth Minnesota. Captain W. Van Patent, assistant suigeon, First Washington. and Second Lieutenant Richards, first Montana, are among the passengers. After t.ie quarantine officers had sat isfied themselves that there was no in* factious disease on tiie Indiana, she anchored off the Harrison street wharf. 'Die steamer has on board a party of Filipino men and women for the Oma ha and other Eastern expositions, but it is possible that they may not be al lowed to land. The crew of the Indi ana is mostly composed of Filipinos, among them being two graduates of tiie Manila university. Among tiiose who returned on the In diana was Dr. Day Wait, of San Fran cisco. According to him, a Filipino wounded in battle is insensible to pain. One man bad his eyes torn out by a bullet and his jaw shattered. When the wound was dressed lie tore tiie bandages off, and two or three days later was breaking in a horse, as though there was no gaping wound in liis head. The doctor cites other similar cases. A bandit named Rias is giving tiie soldiers at Ilo llo a gieat deal of trou ble. He scours the country and mur ders all who will not assist him. Six native policemen were sent to confer with him. Five of them were brutally murdered, and one returned more dead than alive to tell the tale. The Cali fornia boys made a forced inarch of 25 miles, hoping to capture tiie bandit, but he escaped and was still carryin on his depredations when the Indiai sailed. Sergeant Jones, of the Tennessee reg iment, is credited witli one of tiie most daring exploits of the war. He cap tured a Filipino flag by making a soli tary charge on a band of insurgents, who thought he had a larger force be hind him. Apia, Samoa, July 11, via Auck land. July 20. — In the fighting which occurred at Zofata, in the Sautele dis- tiiet, one Malietoan chief was mortally wounded and two Mataafa chiefs and one Sautele were killed and three oth ers wouned. The British cruiser Cor morant arrested three chiefs and brought them to Apia for trial before the supreme court. The joint commissioneis will leave for Washington July 18. Chief Jus tice Chambers will leave for San Fran cisco on the steamer Moana, July 14. Not desiring to return, he has sent his resignation to President McKinley, who does not wish bis resignation. The question whether this constitutes a vacancy in the chief justiceship is be ing discussed by the commissioners. Dr. Soli claims that he will preside over the supreme court if Chambers leaves the island. If there is a vacan cy, then either Hunter or Mair may be designated to fill the chief justiceship.

It has been revised and enlarged to cover, as far us possible, all the industries of this great state, and induce exhibits of products from the Pacitio Northwest. The list has been increased by adding many ar ticles of home production, and the piizesmore than doubled, to insure greater ¿¡splays of native resources. Tiie commission recognizes tire neces sity of honest competition in farming and dairying, fruit and vegetable growing, ranch and range productions and all lines of progress in the field and factory. While the state fair has not yet reached perfection, tiie earnest co-operation of all interested will make of the fourth annual exhibition, the best of its kind ever held in tire state. Many excellent exhibits are promised from the leading sections of tiie state, and Oregon and British Columbia, will be well represented.

Above all, the general evidences of prosperity continue convincing, failures are the smallest ever known for the season, railroad earnings tiie largest, and solvent payments through clearing houses in July have been 48.6 per cent larger than last year, and 62.8 per cent larger than in 1892, the best previous year.
