Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, March 25.—This was a day of anxlety and excitement at the War Department that carried a re- minder of the busiest days of the war with Spain.- Every officer was intently looking for every scrap of information as to the progress being made by Gen- eral Otis’ gallant expeditionary forces. It was noted that the movement was being executed like clockwork. It was ly one of great rapidity, yet ials noted with delight the per- tion of the arrangements as revealed n the press dispatches, the rapid work of the signal men, well up with the s in the advance running their v the ambulance corps close up to the fighting lines and the pressing for- ward of supplies. Although the end was not known when the department closed, the great- est confide: was shown by the offi- the complete success of the w American arms ahd there was nothing | but praise heard for the strategy ex- hibited by Otis and his generals. Mac- Arthur especially came in for commen- dation, being the active leader of the advancing column thrown first against the insurgents’ line. The opinion ex- pressed at the department was that the American troops would bivouac on the field, or rather in the jungle, and would tg)\f up the forward movement imme- diately the sun rises to-morrow. There was no question about stopping at this gulnh The moyement was intended to Te pushed to the utmost until the rebe surrendered or fled beyond reach in the mountains and jungies. It is said at the department that Otis has under his command in Manila and vicinity about 27,000 soldiers; Aguin aldo, according to Otis’ last report, has 30,000 armed men. General Corbin es- timates that the American flying col- umn was about 10,000 men strang. The insurgents, according. to Otis, had about 12,000 men in line. But Aguinald re- serve, 8000 strong, is not far distant from the scene of the firing line; in- | deed, it is suspected that some of them, | including ‘the leader himself, may have been drawn into to-day’s struggle, in which case the odds would have been heavily against the Americans. The latter appear to be taking full advan- tage of the great assistance to be found in the possession of the railroad, for their movement to-day was generally parallel to the road at all points. There is a possibility of confusion over 'the names of Génerals Hale and Hall. General Irving Hale was colonel of the Colcrado Infantry and has been promoted to be brigadier general of volunteers. General Robert H. Hall was formerly. colonel of the Fourth In- fantry and has been promoted to be brigadier general of volunteers. of these men were in the engagements of to-day north of Manila. An inquiry was made as to Why so large a proportion of the volunteer troops were thrown'inta the advance. It was answered at the department that these particular volunteers were actually more veteranized than many | of the regulars. They have been in service now nearly a year, and in that time have seen more fighting than any other branch of the army. They have an advantage over the regulars who have just arrived in their knowledge of Jjungle fighting, acquired through their long stay at Manila. Then it is #aid to be the part of prudence to maintain a strong reserve of the most reliable | men in such 2 movement as that now going on, and General Otis in his dis- and through the | patch of yesterdny emphasized the ne- | entage of the en- | cessity of maintaining the old ‘beatr:je | lines surrounding the city. k the rebel power, and it would be | Both | BY FILIPINOS Mutinous Seamen Said to Have Seized Five Vessels. STORIES OF MURDER Captain and Mate Slain and Other Members of Crews Are Missing. Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., March 25.—The steamer Tacoma, which. arrived here this afterncon, brought news that a robbery and murder were commiticd under peculiar circumstances on the steamer Kwonghoi, Captain MacKen- zie, which arrived in Manila on the 13th ult. from Calbayog, in the island of Samar. The mate of the Kwonghoi was in- vited ashore to a native “flesta,” from which he returned late at night. As he climbed up the Jacob's ladder on the ship’s deck he saw three of the native crew dodging down on their knees be- hind a hatch. This led him to inspect the deck and then he made the discov ery that six of the Filipino crew car- ried by the steamer were breaking into the vessel’s treasure room, in which was a large amount of money to be used in the purchase of hemp. Upon being discovered the natives attacked the mate and beat him over the head with clubs. While he was in an insensible condition they threw him inte a boat alongside. They then abstracted two cases of $5000 each from the treasure room and made for the shore in the ship’s boat. Since then nothing _was heard of the men. The body of the un- fortunate mate was found with the throat cut and horribly mutilated near a native village. Captain MacKenzie thinks the sailors had plotted the robbery on previous voyages with coconspirators on shore, as the steamer frequently takes Jarge sums of money to the agencies of its owners along the coast. The Manila Times of February 16 has another story of Filipino treachery. It | says that a report has reached Manila of the selzure by the insurgents of five American steamers—the Saturnus, San Joaquin, Don Jose, Gloria and San Pe- dro. The captain of the latter was murdered. for all steamers freighting in those waters carry a large number of Fili- pinos. In every case these mutinied, ran 'he vesse in the neare | where .the insurgents were power and turned-the steamers over 1o them. The San Joaquin left Manila for Cov- an, Currimar and Aparri on Janu- . and was four days out of port the master was jumped on from behind, trussed and made a isoner |in his own® cahin. The vessel was | bea-hed and turned over to the rebels ptain, together with a Scotch | engtneer, the only two white men on | the . boat, were released. . They made | their way to Manila after an arduous trip in a small sloop given them 'by | the natives and reported the loss of { their ship. J The Saturnus left for San Fernando, | Cavayan, Currimar, Aparri and San | Domingo on February 1. She is re- | ported to have been seized after a mu- { tiny between the first two ports, but | no details were learned. | “The Gloria also left on February 1. | She was bound to Cavayan, Currimar | and Aparri. Beyond the report of her | seizure nothing could be learned of her. | ” The San Pedro was bound to Aparri and the two usual way ports. She left | on February 7 and on the 10th her crew | mutinied. The captain put on a_bold | front and with revolver in hand_en- | dedvored to drive the mutinous Fili- | piohs into the forecastle.

They say that while the Americans will un- doubtedly win all the battles they will lose the campaign itself, owing to the aptitude of the Tagallos to conduct a war of surprises and ambuscades. Malolos, the capital of the rebel gov- ernment, they add, will fall into the hands of the Americans, but the Span- jards insist the war will rage as long | as_the rebels desire it. . The correspondent at Manila of the Correspondencia alleges that within six days from the reopening of hostilities the Americans lost 1000 men and that several companies of troops fell into the | hands of the insurgents.

All this results from the refusal of a school patron to comply Wwith the vaccipation law in regard to his son. Walter Duzan was one of the children who, on February 13, was dis- missed from school because he had not been vaccinated.

He said he was | 19 years of age and hailed from Michi- | gan. The town he would not name, as | he did not wish his folks to know of | his escapade. The plan to rob the stage, | he said, was concocted at his cabin | last evening. Westhall, he said, did the | talking when the stage was stopped. | Murphy &aid his shotgun, & single- | barreled one, was loaded with number 4 shot. Asked if he knew messengers were on the stage, he sarcastically re- | plied that he guessed he ought to know. Murphy does not bear the best . of | reputations. Last summer he stole a watch from a man, but returned it when promised there would be no pro- | secution. In January the wagon of a | peddler named Martin was robbed | while standing mear the Selkirk resi- | dence. To-day the stolen articles, con- [ 'sisting of “elothing and neckties, were | found in 'Murphy’s trunk. ¢ Westhall is about the same age as Murphy, and is evidently one easily led.

All went well until at 8:45 o'clock they reached a place with a clump of brush.a half mile this side of Altaville. In front of the Keystone mine two men stepped out and told the driver, Frank Washburn, to stop. ‘When he drew rein Messenger McCon. nell brought up his gun to fire, but Jackson said: . “Don’t fire, Mac; those men want to get on the stage. This is the place usually get on and ride to Altaville.” Jackson was scon undeceived, for Outlaw Murphy ordered the driver to throw out the treasure box. Washburn reached for the box, but delayed for a moment, waiting for the messengers to shoot. McConnell pulled the trigger, but the cap snapped. The Impatient robber exclaimed: “Why in h—l don’t you throw the box out?” Then Jackson threw himself across McConnell’s knees. The curtains were partly drawn on the stage and partly ber. He fired, but the bullet went through the robber’s hat. Murphy started to run and Jackson fired again, | shooting him through the body. The | other outlaw was fifteen or twenty feet | behind the stage. He fired at Driver | Washburn, but missed him. Washburn | whipped up the team, and it ran about seventy-five yards. He then stopped to ee if any one was hurt before proceed- ng to Altaville and Angels. There | were two passengers on the stage, one |a drummer, and both were badly | frightened.

P i | = REVEALS THE PLAN OF AN UPRISING |Communication to Agui- | naldo Intercepted. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, l\i;irch 25.—An im- cation to Aguinaldo from one of his leaders is among the captured docu- ments from the Philippines which have been forwarded to Acting Postmaster General Heath. The document is marked “most urgent,” and addressed to “Senor Don Emilio Aguinaldo, Presi- dent of the Philippine republic, Ma- | lolos.” | It is signed by Bonafacio Arevalo, who appears to have been one of Aguin- aldo’s trusted agents in Pasig, near | Manila. The handwriting of the letter | is- faifly good, but the spelling and ipum‘tufltinn are so illiterate that the most expert' Spanish translators have i not been able to make a verbatim | translation. The general purpose of | the letter, however, is clearly apparent | and confirms previous information that a general uprising of Aguinaldo’s ad- herents in and around Manila was in contemplation some time about the end of January or the beginning of Feb- ruary last. The writer says that he has 2000 men available who will rise at the hour fixed for the “rupture.” He has cautioned them, he says, that on the day determined on they must keep in their houses until night, so as not to attract the suspicions of the Ameri- cans. “I am in Pasig,” he says, “so as to be ready at any moment to go to my district of Sampaloc.” He says he has been warned by a friend who professed to speak in the name of Major Bell (an American officer, since reported wounded) that he had better keep quiet and stay at home, but that such advice is repugnant to his feelings. He apolo- gizes for not having levied a prestamo or forced loan on the citizens of Pasig as ordered by Senor Sandico in the name of Aguinaldo, saying that he could not do so without drawing down upon himself the attention of the Americans, who were so numerous all around him. He closes by an urgent appeal to Aguinaldo to send money to meet the immediate necessity of his forces. The letter is dated January 28, and was intended to have been sent by courier to Aguinaldo when intercepted. Suicide Because of Deafness. PASADENA. March 25.—Frank Koch, a ! barber, who had been in the employ of La Spada Brothers here for several weeks, committed suicide at 5 o'ciock this_morning by shooting himself in the head.” The act was committed on a va- cant lot not far from his boarding house.

I | will give my_ full support to any candi- date whom the convention_selects. However, I do not regard the question of finance a&s of primary importance at {any time. It will grow steadily less im- {gor!anl between now and next election. | Some suggestion of the truth of this can | be found by comparing last fall's elec- tions, State by State, with those of 18%. It is not to be denied that general in- terest in finance as a question is falling away. There is no such general strong silver demand as there was three years ago. That, no doubt, is due to a condition of For myself, I say again, I do not fear sil- | ver. We have had silver coinage before | and succeeded, just as we have had a sin- | gle gold standard now and succeeded. We will not meet wreck if we have silver any more than ruin is to overtake us under the single gold standard. The trusts form the giant evil, imminent and threatening, in our affairs. There is no time or room for details here. But the monster combination of money, called the trusts, whose methods contemplate the bribery of Congresses and Legisla- tures and even the control of courts, must be destroyed. To this we should have an income tax and an inheritance tax. should have public ownership of all these franchises which are now in the hands of the great railroads, bridge and electrical eompanies and all other combinations of kindred sort. Above all, we should have the initiative and referendum, and so put within the actual power of the people at the polls to propose or pass a law or, if needs be, power to repeal a law in spite of any action by venal or corrupt Con- gresses or Legislatures. We should attack government by in- junction and the national bank system. We should be for the election of Senators and the United States Judges by the people. We should be for an incréase in the navy and against an increase in the army. We should be for economy and for the cutting down of expenses. We should be Bgamst expansion and the seizing of the hmYplne Islands beyond such har- bors of islands as are necessary for naval stations. If we were to go in for all these mat- ters and add to them an attack on the opposition for its rotten war record, for its roguery of embalmed beef, for its steals of contracts, there would be no doubt of Democratic -success. Drought in New South Wales. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 25.—Mail advices from New South Wales say that the drought that is now prevailing in that colony is the worst ever expe- rienced. Settlers and stockmen are ap- pealing to the Government for aid. The rainfall for the last five years has been insufficient. In illustration of the ef- fect of the drought en the sheep indus- try, the colony lost during 1897 and 1898 about 8,000,000 sheep. .

He was trying a case against Paul and John Zeltner for attorney fees, and when court adjourned at noon the brothers demanded certain papers, which he re- fused to surrender. John Zeltner fired at the attorney, who ran out of doors, the ball striking Westenhaver in the right side.
