The fifty men in question were pursuing a party of insurgents of superior force into the mountains, when they were am- bushed in a box canyon by a force of 250 riflemen and bolomen. They made a continuous fight for eight hours, Killin a large number of the insurgents, an were overpowered only after they had fired their last shot and practically were smothered in a hand-to-hand fight with their 2000 adversaries. Sergeants ‘Williams and McCarthy, who were In charge of some of the wounded, come in for particular praise. They were cut off from the rest of the party during the re- treat and intrenched themselves on the hillside, where they stood off their assatl- ants for about three hours, surrendering after every cartridge had been exhausted. Scarcely & man in the expedition es- caped being grazed or slightly woundsd during the fight. The total number killed was five. Captain Shields was wounded early In the fight, but continued to direct the operations of the rear guard during four miles of retreat. He finally was knocked out by a bullet through the jaw, neck and shoulder, which was thought at the time to be a fatal wound. The rescue of the party was effected by General re. Captain Shields and his men say that they have no complaint to make of their treatment during captivity. Maximo Abad was the insurgent in command and in re- sponse to Captain Shields’ request allowed some of his men to secure medicines anl dressings for the wounded soldiers. MANILA, Nov. 23.—Dorotion Karragdag, an insurgent lieutenant colonel, and Man- uelo Lazara, who, it is sald, was General Torres' quartermaster, have been arrested in Balacan province.

NELSON SAYS HE WAITS ONLY FGR CANDLER'S CALL Thinks Maritime Congress in Georgia Interests the Chamber. SR TR Encouragement of American Shipping Is of Sufficient Importance to ‘Warrant the Naming of Delegates. —_— President Charles Nelson of the Cham- ber of Commerce will call to the atten- tion of the trustees of that body the invi- tation of Governor Candler of Georgla to all who feel an interest in the maritime greatness of the United States to be repre- sented at a maritime congress to be held in Brunswick, Ga., beginning on January 30. The call for the congress was issued by Governor Candler a few days ago. The natural supposition is that all large mercantile bodles in the United States, and especlally those of the seaboard citles, will recefve spectal invitations to send delegates to the congress. President Nel-} son will wait a few days for the invita-| tion before he will take any action. He/| may call a meeting of the Chamber of} Commerce, but he thought yesterday that | the trustees might be the first to consider the matter of being repr ed. Presldent Nelson has given the subject of encouraging the building of Amer ships much favorable attention. Two ve. ago he talked with President McKinley, | ator Hanna and others connected with onal Government about a sShip He found that President McKin= ley was strongly in favor of that propos tion.

Indeed the Chamber of Commerce has taken occasion in the past | to have the ship subsidy matter brought | before the Trans-Mississippi Congress by | Congressman Kahn, who was delegated to | speak for the Chamber | The only obstacle President Nelsom found in the way of sending delegates to the maritime congress In Georgia was the | difficulty of getting delegates who were | willing to give their time and pay their expenses as delegates out of their own pockets.

Standing room was at a premium in Golden Gate Hall last night at the bazaar in ald of the Church of the Advent. Mrs. ‘Willlam Thatcher Marvin had charge of the entertainment. John A. Hammer- smith, In his odd characteristic sketches, was more than a success. Little Miss May Murphy, in her dance of the High- land Fling, performed her part so well that a kilted Highlander would not dare enter into competition with her. Mr. Adel- steln rendered some choice music on the mandolin, while Mr. Brown sang a solo that brought an encore. The clever- est performance of the evening was by Professor Joe Warren, a prestidigitator. Miss Lupi Prado brought the house down at the conclusion of her Spanish dance. Messrs. Kewen and Green presented their marionettes. Mrs. S. M. Mansfleld, who had general supervision of the entire en- tertainment, was most active in seeing that every person was made to feel at home. The doll booth, under the charge of Mrs. Colonel F. M. Coxe, was as fairy- ltke as it was possible. Theére was an en- tire absence of ‘‘buttonholing”* by the young ladies and all were made to feel at liberty to purchase as they saw fit. For Sunshine Kindergarten.

Clark of Montana, ac- companted by his son, J. Ross Clark, ar- rived in this city last evening from Salt Lake City, where they had been since Tuesday perfecting the .organization of the new Salt Lake and Los Angeles Rail- road Company. The Senator attended the grand opera last evening and to-day he will go to Los Angeles on matters pertain- ing to the new road. Senator Clark is enthusiastic over the prospects of an early realization of his new raflroad scheme. ‘“We have com- pleted organization and are now prepar- ing for some bard, telling work,” he said at the hotel last evening. ‘‘There isn't a great deal to say outside of what has al- ready been published. We are deter- mined to rush the construction of the road as rapldly as possible, and will call for proposals for our equipment immedi- ately. We have not yet ordered any ma- terial, but expect to shortly. “The surveying has been completed as far as San Bernardino, and the road be- tween there and Los Angeles will be built first. The entire road, when completed, will be 1100 miles long and will absorb the Los Angeles Terminal, which is about fifty miles long. Upward of $10,000,000 of | the $25,000,000 capital stock has already been paid in." Senator Clark sald he could not tell when the new line would be in operation. It is the intention, however, to push the work as soon as the contract is awarded. It is probable the work will be carried on from each end of the proposed line, as this plan will permit of a much larger force being employed.
