Terror to the Hearts of Marila, Aug. 13,—Gen. MacArthur's troops remained Thursday at Calulet. The rebels had evidently fled far be- yond rifle range, for the American out- posts were not disturbed and not a shot was fired during the night. At daybreak a reconnoitering party con- sis'ing of a battalion of the Seven- teenth infantry, with one field piece, started up the railroad track toward Angeles, four miles north. The party approached within 1,200 yards of the town and opened fire with the field The Americans were received a badly directed rifle fire, which battalion of the Seventeenth re- with a few volleys. The the turned strength of the insurgents at Angeles not being known, the situation was re- ported to Gen. MacArthur, who did not desire to send reinforcements and directed the reconnoitering party to return unless the rebels abandoned the town. Soon after the receipt of these ord it. became evident that the reb- els had set fire to the town and fled, leaving the place to be occupied by the Americ A battalion of the Twelfth infantry wa sO sent on a reconnoitering ex- pedition toward the west, but up to noon no firing had been heard in their direction and no word had been re- ecived from them at Gen, MacArthur's headquarters.

Manila, Aug. 15. — A reconnaissance by troops of Gen. Samuel B. M. Young’s brigade, with the object of discovering the whereabouts of the enemy near San Mateo, nortneast of the San Juan reservoir, about ten miles from Manila, resulted in the oc- cupation of San Mateo. ‘The American loss was three killed and thirteen wounded, including a lieutenant of the Twenty-first infantry. The Americans approached San Mateo in three columns. Maj. Cronin, with 150 men of the Twenty-fifth in- fantry, advanced from Novaliches, five miles west of San Mateo. Capt. Rivers, with 100 men of the Fourth cavalry, and Capt. Parker, formerly lieutenant colonel of the Twelfth New York yolunteers, with 280 men of the Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth in. fantry, and the Fourth cavalry, ap- proached in two columns from the south. Maj. Cronin experienced many dif- ficulties arising from the condition of the country and failed to effect a juncture with Capt. Rivers west of San Mateo as had been planned. Capt. Rivers adyanced, took an outpost of the enemy two miles west of San Mateo. He then encountered strong resistance among the hills,“the enemy firing from excellent positions. Hav- ing failed to connect with Maj. Cronin, and seeing that the town was already occupied by» the Americans, Capt. Rivers withdrew, covering his with- drawal by a heavy volley. He lost a sergeant killed. Capt. Parker, on advancing, found the enemy strongly intrenched on the far side of some rice fields, about a mile wide and covered with deep mud. Pushing forward rapidly he routed the Filipinos after forty minutes’ fighting, and then continued the march upon San Mateo, which he entered after serious resistance. Maj. Cronin reached the town about three hours later. The Americans still oceupy the place. Our men were exhausted by the heavy marching. Twenty-three of the enemy are known to have been killed. This is the first action in which Col. Burt’s Col. Burt’s colored troops participated. They behaved well, their leaders having difficulty in oold- ing them back. n, Young accompanied Capt. Park- column and was under fire throughout the engagement. It is esti- mated that the enemy numbered be- tween 300 and 400 men. Insurgents Aggressive. Manila, Aug. 15. — The insurgents have taken the aggressive in the neigh- borhood of the railw: On Saturday night unsuccessfully attacked San Luis, on the Rio Grande, n Calum- pit, which is garrisoned by two com- panies of the T'wenty-second infantry. ‘The Americans had one man, a ser- geant, killed and two privates wound- ed. Sunday morning a similar affair took place at Gringua, four miles west of Malolos, where a small garrison is stationed as a safeguard against a pos- sible attack upon the railway. A spe- cial train took reinforcements to Ma- lolos and Guingonto, just north of Bulecan. Lieut. Gilmore Heard From. Manila, Aug. 15.—Word has been re- ceived from Lieut. Gilmore, of the Yorktown, who, with fourteen mem- ber of the erew of the gunboat, was ptured by the insurgents last April rear Baler, on the east coast of Luzon.

Decision Reached by the President in the Recent Conference With Secretary Root—Should Otis Ask to Be Relieved, Lawton Will, Suc- eced Him—Seeretary Root Pro- duces Harmony Out of Discord- ent Elements in the War Depart- ment—Gen, Miles Secures a Vic- tery. New York, Aug. 13.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: Maj. Gen. Otis will remain in sureme com- mand of the Philippine islands. Should he request to be relieved. Maj. Gen. Lawton will be assigned to duty as his successor. This is the decision reached by the president and Secretary Root during their conferences at Lake Champlain. Washington, Aug. 13. — Secretary Root has acted in the role of peace- maker, and as a result everybody at the war department is pleased with everybody else. The delightfully har- monious condition of affairs prevailing in department circles was brought about by the secretary’s announce- ment that the order respecting the status of the inspector-general’s office would be so modified that it would be sdtisfactory to everybody concerned. Now Gen. Miles is pleased, Gen. Breck- inridge smiles, and Gen. Corbin is gratified. The only man who seems to be a little weary is the secretary himself, who, for nearly two hours, listened to a learned discussion by Gen. Miles of the reasons why he should have control of the inspector general's department equally with the secretary of war, and why he should receive reports of the aor and valry schools, as heretofore. ogcn: the conclusion of this confer- ence the secretary listened very ecare- fully to Gen. Breckinridge, who is sat- isfied to remain under the control ot Gen. Miles, and to Gen. Corbin, and the order as issued will differ but little from that under which the inspector general’s department has been _con- ducted in the past. Thus Gen. Miles has secured a victory over former Sec- retary Alger, and Secretary Root has, temporarily at least, restored harmony. Merritt Denies. ‘ yen. Merritt, in an interview, denied that there is anythipg in the rumors current that he is to succeed Gen. Otis in the Philippines. MAY BE ROCKEF American Officer Held by the Rebels in Southern Luzon. Washington, Aug. 13.—The following cablegram has been received from Gen.

Rockefeller. —“Otis.” Maj. Rockefeller is the officer who disappeared several months ago, short: ly after his arrival in the Philippines, and nothing has been heard of him since. ie BOER THREATS. They Will Ruin the Mines and the English Stockholders, London, Aug. 13.—The Boer organ in London, the Standard and_ Diggers News, publishes a Johannesburg dis- patch threatening Great Britain in the event of war, saying the Boers are de- termined to wreck the mines and irre- trievably ruin the general body of stockholders by blowing up millions of dollars’ worth of machinery, adding that war will mean the absolut ruin of Johannesburg, both as a town d as a mining center, and saying: “While it will doubtless end in a vic- tory for England, the price of that victory will be the ruin of thousands who ought to consider the price they rust pay before authorizing the gov- ernment to declare war.” Cold Lead for the Boers. Lorenzo, Marquis, Delagoa Bay, Aug. 12.-The German East African line steamer Reichstag has arrived here from Hamburg, Naples and Mombasa with 400 cases of cartridges and other war stores for the Transvaal.

D., Aug. 13.—The gang of tough men who were frustrated in their attempt to capture a freight on the Southwestern Thursday were more successful yesterday and téok posses- sion of a train at Edgeley and rode to different points along the linen. ‘They drew revolvers on the train men and enforced their demands. The people along the route in the smaller towns sympathized with the men, as they wanted them taken out of the country. Two hundred more are have been landed at Edgeley last night by the Milwaukee. The men secure free transportation on the ground taat they are harvest hands, but they are fore customers and refuse offers of work. SUICIDE AT DUBUQUE.

' Denver, Colo., Aug. 15.—Two police officers were murdered here yesterday by a recuit belonging to Company L, Thirty-fourth volunteer infantry, now Stationed at Fort Logan. Three sol- diers had been raising a disturbance in Louis Klipfel’s saloon at the corner of Market and Twentieth street during the night, and Officer Tom Cliffort was notified of their action and was asked He followed them for an hour or so and came upon the men at the corner of Blake and Twentieth Streets. He was about to arrest the soldiers when one of them turned on nim and, placing the muzzle of a re- volver to his breast, sent a bullet through his heart. Clifford died ¢imost instantly. All three of the soldiers then ran but two were overtaken and captured. The one who did the shoot- ing, however, continued running, with otficer W. E. Griffith, on a bicycle, in pursuit.

Sayers received a telegram from W. N. Sparks, an attorney of Hidalgo coun- ty, dated at Reynosa, Mex., reporting inhuman treatment of Mexican pris- orers in the county jail there by the sheriff and his deputies. The telegram alleges that five Mexican prisoners who have been naturalized as Ameri- can citizens, were arrested last Mon- day and thrown into jail by the sheriff without his stating what they were charged with. Since that time none of their friends nor any one else has been permitted to see them until yes- terday, a young attorney who had been engaged by their friends to rep- resent them, had an entrance to the jail. There he found a terrible state of affairs. Five prisoners presented an awful appearance, with all the flesh torn off their necks and their bodies covered with cuts and bruises. He re- ports that one of the Mexicans had been hung by the neck and thumbs until life was almost extinct in the hope of extracting confession from them, but as to what said confession was to be no one knows as yet. WHITE CAPISM IN MONTANA, Rancher of Parardise Valley Is the Victim. Great Falls, Mont., Aug. 15. — The first whitecap outrage in Montana oc- curred Friday night near Chinook, a small town in the Milk river valley. George Henson, a rancher of Paradise valley was the victim. He was to have been a witness for the state in an as- sault case to be tried the next day, and it appears that there was a strong sen- timent in favor of the defendant. A crowd of several men, dressed in white cap disguises, visited Henson about inidnight, broke into the house and dragged him from bed, took him out- side, tied him to a tree and adminis- tered a severe whipping. Then they tied a rope around his waist and threw him into the river and dragged him out repeatedly until they made him prom- ise not to appear at the trial on Satur- day morning. The crowd left after threatening to kill Henson should he fail to make his promise good. Hen- son’s failure to appear at the trial led to an investigation by the county at- torney, when these facts were dis- closed. The victim has disappeared and no one seems to know his where- abouts. CORPORATIONS CINCHED. South Dakota Raises Railrgad and Telegraph Assessments. Pierre, 8. D., Aug. 15.—The state as- sessment board practically completed its work, but it will be several days before definite figures can be secured, no footings having been made.

Conditions as Viewed by the Weath- er Bureau. * According to tue weekly bulletin of the government weather service for Minnesota, there have beem no ex- tremes of temperature. The counties of the middle western portion of the state have had no rain. Elsewhere, there were general, though not heavy rains, on the 31st. On the 2d, 3d and 6th there were rains, locally heavy in the south, and on the 6th there were mod- erate rains in the northwestern por- tion. Hail has caused great damage to large areas of standing grain in Mar- shall, Polk and Lac qui Parle counties. A little wheat and barley have been cut in Kittson county, but harvest will not be general there much before the 10th. In the southern part of the val- ley harvest is beginning to be general. Wheat and oats barvest is general in all parts of the state south of the Red River valley, except in a small area from Washington to Chisago counties, west to Kandiyohi and Renville coun- ties, and from Nicollet and Steele coun- ties north to Wright and Anoka coun- ties, where harvest is practically fin- ished. South of the Minnesota river the rains have delayed harvesting seri- ously, in some places making the fields so soft that the binders could not work. From all directions come reports that the wheat stems are very tender, and that they are crinkling down; for this reason a great deal of wheat has been cut green. Where tne rains were heavy much wheat and oats are so hadly down that great labor is necessary. to gather the crop; but it is said that the binders gather all of the grain, and that the heads are generally well filled. Barley is a good crop, though the grain is discolored. Most of it is in stack. In regions where the harvest is over, stacking is going on, and, in a few cases, tnreshing from the shock is re- ported. Flax seems to be a good crop. It is ripening in the south, and some has been cut. In most of the state, corn, potatoes, gardens. and pastures are in need of rain, but in the southern portion they are growing splendidly. STATE GIVES MANY DEEDS. Bryers of School Lands Pop Up at a Disheartening Rate to the Invest- ment Board. . The state auditor has issued, during the fiscal year just closed, a total of 934 land patents, aggregating 87,635.53 acres. In 1897 only 39% patents were issued, and in 1898 only 690. The state auditor last winter urged the legisla- ture to pass a bill reducing the interest on state lands from 5 to 4 per cent. He argued that it would benefit the state, because holders of lands would not make such desperate efforts to pay up the principal, and that the state would be the gainer by the longer interest pe- riod. The legislature did not see the matter in that light, and the bill was killed, on the ground that it would cut down the school fund of the state. The increase in the number of pat- ents issued seems to bear out the s‘ate- ment of the auditor. The money that has been paid in will have to be in vested by the state at 3 1-2 per cent, at best, so that the state school fund will lose the difference in interest between 5 per cent and 3 1-2 and 3 per cent. ‘The increase in the number of patents issued also shows that the farmers are more prosperous than they have been in recent years. The patents are ap- portioned ameng the lands owned by the state as follows: fe 2% No. of oti Patents Acreage. 855 79,441.32 46 4,407.01 School lanils..... Agricultural college.

The habeas corpus case of Sweatt vs. Fry, which was held before Court Commissicner Joseph Gilpin at Alex- ardria, has been decided in favor of There is one phase of the case hn has been before the district court of the county several times dur- ing the past year. About a year ago, Mrs. tnnie Fry was granted a divorce from George L. Fry, and Mrs. Fry was given the care and custody of the chil- dren. Shortly after her divorce was granted Mrs. Fry married a man named Sweatt, and with him she re- moved to North Dakota, taking the children with her. Last January Mr. Fry brought proceedings in court to have the custody of the children trans- ferred from Mrs. Sweatt to him, which was granted. A short time ago Mr. Fry went to North Dakota and secured possession of the children, which Mrs. Sweatt claims was done by force, and brought them to Osakis. Mrs. Sweatt followed them and brought proceed- ings under habeas corpus, with tae above result. ATKINSON'S FUNERAL, Georgia’s Late Governor Buried With Masonic Honors.
