Lawton’s ex- pedition show that harder fighting took place during the early part of this week than earlier accounts indicated. In the attack on San Rafael the Amer- ican forces were met with a heavy “ire from a large number of rebels who were concealed in the jungle on all side It was only the adoption of the tactics followed in Indian fighting in the United States, every man for himself, that saved the division from great loss.

Several hundred of the Filipino wounded are at San Miguel. The in- surgents are sending their women and children to the mountains. A bolo chief and 100 men were captured at 3alinag. Gen. Lawton has released aany of his prisoners. GEN. OT REPORT. Fine Let of Native Rice and Corn Captured—Five Men Killed. Washington, May — The war de- rtment h x ved the following Gen.

Wasbington, May 7.—The postmaster general has ordered that the rural free delivery service of the country be di- vided into two grand subdivisions—the ‘Westerp and the Eastern. The former is to consist of the states west of the _ Ohio, and its headquarters will be at St. Louis. The other division, compris- ing the states east of the Ohio, will have its headquarters in this city. Francis M. Dice of Crawfordsville, Ind., will have charge of the Western division and Henry C. Clarke of Wash- ington of the Eastern. The arrange- ment is similar to that of the railway mail service. Wages Increased. Xenia, Ohio, May 7.—The Hooven & Allison Cordage company has an- nounced an increase of 10 per cent in the wages of its employes. This af- fects two of the largest mills in the country, both located here. About 500 operatives will receive the increase, Completely Destroyed. Chattanooga, Tenn., May 7. — The plant of the Lookout Sewer Pipe com- pany, located five miles south, was completely destroyed by fire. Loss, about $60,000; covered by insurance. END CLOSE AT HAND. Filipinos Admit the Sovereignty of the United States. . Washington, May 7. — Aguinaldo’s emissaries to the American Philippine commission have formally admitted the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippine archipelago. From a member of the cabinet it was learned that this admission was made to President Schurman, and the char- acter of the answer was no doubt as gratifying to the commission as it is to the president. As a result of the dispatch sent by Mr. Schurman it is the confident ex- pectation of the president that the end of the rebellion is close at hand. This result will not be obtained without concessions which have been recom- mended by the commission and which, by Cirection of the president, will be granted. These concessions contem- plate giving the Filipinos a form of government modeled after that of the United States. The members of the cabinet who were seen say that the commission had unanimously adopted a recommendation which was sub- mitted to the president in Mr. Schur- man’s dispatch, providing three de- partments for the government of the archipelago: First, the executive department; second, the legislative department; and, third, the judicial department. Mr. Schurman’s communication made a deep impression upon the cabinet meeting yesterday, and after the meeting it was stated that the situation in Luzon, aside from its inilitary feature, is most encouraging. While the administration believes from Commissioner Schurman’s cable- gram that the end of the Filipino in- surrection is near, it is not thought wise to send any instructions to Gen. Otis that would result in his pursuing a less vigorous military policy. It is feared that back of all the Filipino ne- gotiations for a suspension of hostili- ties there may be merely a desire to gain time for reorganization and -for strengthening intrenchments. It is therefore probable that until the Fill- pinos actually yield the campaign will be conducted with as much vigor as if there were no indications of an early peace. AFTER REBEL STORES. Minnesota and Oregon. Troops Sent on a Mission. New York, May 7.—According to a Manila special Gen. Lawton has sent Col. Summers with two battalions each of the Oregon and Minnesota regiments beyon d Maasin to capture the large stores which the enemy is reported to have near San Ildefonso. Filipino prisoners say that there are many Spaniards at San Isadro and that the main body of the native refugees is traveling toward the Biaccobatte nountains. The campaign appears to be entering the vicinity of San Isadro. The destruction of the bridges by the insurgents necessitates the abandon- ment of the attempt to run railroad trains beyond Calumpit and wagon trains have been substituted. NOT “KICKING.” Of 3,000 Letters From the Volunteers Only Three Made Complaints. Chicago, May 7. — Theodore Weise, who conducts a press clipping bureau, received an order from the Anti-im- perialist League of Boston to examine the letters from soldiers in the Philip- pines published in papers throughout this country for the purpose of seeing what complaints the volunteers made. Up to to-day Mr. Weise has clipped 3,000 letters from volunteers in the Philippines, and in only three stances was fault found with anything or anybody, or a wish expressed by the writer to return home, THE MARKETS,’ Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.

Y., May 7.—The members of the state board of arbitration and mediation worked hard yesterday in an effort to settle the existing troubles on the docks. Conferences have been held with the strike leaders, meetings have been addressed and speeches listened to, and at midnight a confer- ence was going on at the Iroquois hotel at which representatives of all inter- ests involved were present and a.most determined effort made to bring about a settlement of the difficulty. While there is every indication that the con- tractors’ union is willing to grant con- cessions to the strikers in the way of advanced wages and the removal of the saloon bosses, the strikers show a most unyielding spirit. A meeting was held yesterday after- noon at which were present at least 2,000 scoopers. When a member of the state board advanced to the front of the stage and addressed the men, asking them if they would ‘return to work if all of their demands save one-- that of the withdrawal of the contraet from Mr. Connors—were conceded, there was a great shout of “No, never! We will not go to work again under any contractor.” k In the face of this spirit the members. of the state board feel’ Far From Encouraged and should wo agreenient be reached at this meeting the board will cease its endeavors in that line and order a pub- lic investigation of the whole matter. The strike of all union men employed on the docks, which was prophesied for noon, yesterday, did not oceur. President MeMahon, of the new seoop- ers’ union, said that at the request of the state board it was deferred twen- ty-four hours. The situation in the harbor is, if anything, worse than Thursday night. So far this season eighty grain-laden boats have arrived in port. Of this number but twenty- five have been unloaded, leaving fifty- five still to be handled, with the pros- pect of further arrivals during the night. The freight beats are also be- ginning to come in and there are sey- eral now at the docks waiting for men to handle their cargoes. The contractors claim to be working twelve elevators, but, while this is probably true, the number of men placed on each boat is so small that but little progress is being made. Traftic on the Erie canal is threat- ened with almost complete stoppage as a result of the strike. Boats are ar- rivivg with freight to be unloaded and others are waiting here for loads both of grain and heavy freight, but men cannot be had to do the work. RIOTERS ARRESTED. Three Hundred and Fifty sm Charge of the Troops. Wardner, Idabo, May 7.—Three hun- dred and fifty miners accused of par- ticipating in Saturday’s riot are now confined here under guard of United States troops. With yesterday's arriv- als 500 troops are now in the Coeur d’Alene district and all fear of further outbreaks is past. The charges against the prisoners will be rioting, destroying property and stopping United States mails. It is unlikely that all the prisoners will be tried, but they will be held until evi- dence is secured against the leaders. The inquest over the bodies of Smith and Chiene will probably last for at least a week, as there are about a hun- dred witnesses to be examined. STRIKERS USE DYNAMITE. Street Car Strike at Duluth Becomes Serious. Duluth, Minn., May 7.—The first seri- lemonstration by the street rail- mpathizers and strikers oc- dlast night. They used dynamite stop traffic. Four cars were de- railed—three at West Duluth and one at Garfield avenue. One of the cars in West Duluth was smashed almost be- yond repair and all of thd glass in the cther two was broken. ‘The car on Garfield avenue was served likewise. One man was serious- ly if not fatally injured and four oth- ers were slightly. hurt. When Manager Warren, of the street railway company, appeared on the scene with a wrecking car, he was set upon by the strikers. CARNEGIE SELLS OUT. Disposes of His Steel Interests to His Partners, New York, May 7.--l’ne Times says: The entire interest of Andrew Carnegie in the Carnegie Steel company has been purchased by the co-partners in the business, with H. C. Frick at their head. The exact figures which repre- sent the purchase price could not be learned. It is said, however, the price is over $150,000,000 and entirely satis- factory to Mr. Carnegie. It is under- stood that one of the stipulations of the sale is that the new company shall retain the name of the present concern. The new company ircludes not only all the Carnegie Steel plants, but also the H. C. Frick Coke company, witb its 40,000 acres of coke land in the Connellsville district; the Oliver 'Min- ing company, with its large ore inter- ests in the Lake Superior district; the Pittsburg, Bessemer & Lake Erie rail- road; the Union railroad, which con- nects at Homestead with all trunk lines east and west, and all the inter- ests in several hundred miles of/ gas land. It is intended to increase the output of all the various departments of the joint company so that the present fam- ine in the steel market may be relieved and the continued export demand sup- plied.

A man went into the house of Chas. Wacholz, two miles west of Waconia, recently, bound Mrs. Wacholz and compelled her to show him over the Louse. He poured kerosene on her clothing and threatened to fire it if she did not divulge the hiding place of money, but he secured nothing. Allen Odell, a farmer living three- quarters of a mile west of Smith Lake, was found dead, entangled in the run- ning gear of his buggy in his barn yard. He was at Howard Lake, and no doubt fell into the running gear on his way home and his horse ran into the barnyard. An inmate of the state reformatory at St. Cloud broke and ran from the guard under whose control he was working, into a field near the institu- tion. A half-hour later he was recap- tured a mile or two down the river. A guard on horseback had tracked and overtaken him. Harry Halverson, a brakeman on the Great Northern, was instantly killed near Johnson & Wentworth’s sawmills at Cloquet. The young man fell from the train on which he was braking while the cars were being switched in the lumber company’s yards. He was twenty-two years of age and a resident ef Cloquet. A young Swede named Nels Agger- son was drowned in Fox lake, near Sherburn, while fishing from a boat in company with Bert Bercheld and L. E. Olson. The boat sank, upsetting the occupants into the water. Berchold hung to the boat,Olson swam ashore, but Aggerson, being unable to swim, sani and did not rise. The heaviest failure that has thus far been recorded in the United States court at Frazee is that of Ray W.

At a meeting of the newly-elected city council of Preston, the matter of fixing the amount of license was deter- mined, anid the same raised frm $600 to $700. News has reached Little Falls of the destruction of the largest dam on Crow Whig river. It is supposed to have been destroyed by farmers living near by, with the aid of dynamite. There are about 35,000,000 feet of logs to come out of Shell river this year, and as the destroyed dam contained the greatest volume of water, and is most important, it is doubtful if all the logs can be taken out this year. _ m ' Edward Atkinson's Military Taking Vizorous Action at Wardner.
