Washington, Oct. 1.—The war de- partment has received the following dispatch from Gen. Chaffee: “Manila, Sept. 30.—Adjutant General, Washington : Hughes re ports the following from Basey,South ern Samar: ‘Twenty-four men, in Ninth Regiment, United States In fantry, wounded, have just arrived from Balangiga, remainder of the company killed. Insurgents secured all the company supplies and all rifles except 12. Company was attacked on morning of Sept. 28; company 72 strong “CHAFFEE’’ The news of the disastrous fight was sent promptly by General Hughes, commandingin that island, to General Chaffee at Manila, and by him trans mitted to the war department. It reached t|ie department during the early hours today, and Adjutant Gen eral Corbin, realizing its importance, at once made it public, after sending a copy to the White House. The news created a sensation in official circles. It was the first severe reyerse that has occurred for a long time. Still, the officials were not un prepared for the news of just this character from Samar, in which the revolution started by Aguinaldo still continues. Samar is a country about as large as the state of Ohio and the American forces of occupation num ber in all between 2,000 and 2,500 men. They are distributed among various posts in the island, a large number being located at the more im portant centers. Spain never made any effort to oc cupy Samar and it has only been for probably three months past that the United States has undertaken that work. The latest report made by General Hughes to the war depart ment was that the number of insur gent rifles in the island aggregated about 300. The Filipinos carried on a guerrilla warfare and operations against them were difficult. The disaster to Company C of the Ninth Infantry occurred it is believed while it was engaged in an expedition iu clear the country of roving bands of these insurgents. Immediately on receipt of the dispatch Adjutant Gen eral Corbin cabled General Chaffee to send a complete report of the fight and a list of the casualties. STRIKE DECLARED OFF. Attempt to Tie Up the Chicago Elevated Road Was a Failure. Chicago, Oct. 1.—The strike on the South Side Elevated road was practic ally declared off. Believing that they would not be able to force the officials of the company to grant the conces sion demanded, members of the em ploye’s union began deserting the ranks of the strikers and asking to be reinstated. The strike leaders will not admit that their forces are weaken ing. The company moved trains during the day with little difficulty. A large iron bar which is presumed to have been placed on the rails by strikers nearly caused serious acci dent to one of the trains tonight. The cars were loaded to overflow ing and several persons were more or less injured in the panic that at tended the smashup. Caroline Islands by the brig John D. Spreckels, the German officers in authority on the Island of Ruk are prepared to give a warm reception to an unknown American whaling bark that has San Francisco for its home port. Last year, it is said, the whaler sold a quantity of knives, re volvers and other warlike material to the natives on the island, leaving before the German officials knew about the transaction. They were very wroth and made up their minds to give the whaler a warm reception upon her annual visit to Ruk this year. A big gun was planted on an eminence overlooking the usual an chorage and a petty officer and 15 men were placed in charge of the weapon. While the gun is intended for general use against smugglers, the American whaler isk particularly desired to come within range. As an evidence of the summary measures taken by the Germans against smugglers, officers of the John D. Spreckels cite the case of the Japanese schooner that was seized some months ago upon being appre hended in the act of smuggling re volvers and ammunition to the na tives. Not only was the ship and its contents seized, but all the Japanese traders on the Island of Ruk were sent away. CAPTURE OF MISS STONE. Details Related by Members of Party She Was With. Boston, Sept. 27.—Details of the recent capture of Miss Stone, the American missionary, and one of her helpers, by brigands in Turkey, are given in a letter received here by the American Board of Commissioners for foreign missions. The facta became known to one of the missionaries of the board at Sanokoo, European Tur key, by members of the party with which Miss Stone and her assistant, Mrs. Tsilka, were traveling when the capture was made, and who fled on being released by the outlaws. There were 15 to 18 in Miss Stone’s party. The bandits confronted them in a narrow valley, surrounded them and compelled them to wade a river and ascend a wooded mountain side for about an hour. There appeared to be about 40 brigands dressed like Turks, but speaking Bulgarian. At length a stopping place was reached. The next morning Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka were missed, and it was apparent that the main body of the outlaws hud disappeared, leav ing only a guard. Later this guard compelled the captives to give up their watches, money and jewelry, after which they disappeared up the mountain, leaving the missionaries free. WERE OF ASIATIC ORIGIN. Early Race of Cliff-Dwellers Left Undisputable Evidence in Caves. Durango, Colo, Sept. 27.—Leo pold Batres, a scientist representing the government of Mexico, is in Du rango on his way from a visit to the cliff-dwellers’ ruins of the Mancos canyon. Senor Batres has fully satis fied himself that the inhabitants cl the cliffs were of Asiatic origin, as he found many baskets and other trin kets of Asiatic and Japanese design, but how many thousands of years ago they came to this country he is un able to even make a guess. He thinks the mound builders and the cliff dwellers two distinct races. The A New Counterfeit.

Dickinson, United States consul gen eral here, has made representations to the Bulgarian government with a view of securing the release of Miss Stone and her companions who were captured by brigands Septeml«r 3. It is reported that a number of mem- l>ers of the Bulgarian-Macedonian I revolutionary committee have been arrested on evidence implicating them in the abduction. San Francisco, Sept. 27.—The Chronicle says that the Chinese are now seeking to evade the restriction act by taking advantage of the tran sit privilege. They come to San Francisco, it is asserted, and at once depart for Mexico or other foreign ports, only to cross the border back into this country at the first opportu nity.
