FIGHT AT OLANGAPO REAR ADMIRAL WATSON'S SHIPS BOMBARD THE TOWN. Marines Land, Capture the Filipino’s Works and Have but One Man Wounded—Town Riddled by Shells and a Big Krupp Gun Destroyed. Manila, Sept. 25. —The United States cruiser Charleston, the monitor Monterey and the gunboats Concord and Zafiro, with marines and blue jackets from the cruiser Baltimore, left Cavite Sept. 18 and, as already cabled, proceeded to Subig bay to destroy an insurgent cannon there. Owing to the bad weather the operation was postponed until Saturday when the warships for three hours bombarded the town of Olangapo and the entrenchments where the gun was situated. Men from the Charleston, Concord and Zafiro were then landed under a heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the cannon which was utterly destroyed by guncotton and then returning to the warships. Americans had one man wounded during the engagement. The Monterey opened fire with her secondary and main batteries, the Charleston and Concord joining immediately. The insurgent cannon answered, the first shot passing close to the Monterey's smokestack. The gun was fired twice only. The American bombarding then became general and the Monterey advanced to a range of 600 yards, using her mam battery. Two hundred and fifty men were landed about 800 yards east of the cannon, under severe Mauser fire from the shore. The men from the Charleston were the first to reach the beach, but the Concord's men were the first at the gun. The cannon was found to be a 16-centimetre Krupp gun, presumably obtained from the Spaniards. Meanwhile the warships continued to shell the shelving beach on the east and west side to silence the insurgent fire upon the sailors trom the trenches skirting the beach. Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord launch, armed with a Gatling, did excellent work on tue left of the landing party. Captain Myers of the marines captured a muzz<eloadmg field piece. Lieutenant McDonald was in command of the landing party and the movement was splendidly executed and controlled. The number of the Filipinos could not be ascertained, and no dead were seen. The Monterey fired for four hours—--21 shots from her 10-inch guns and 17 from her 12-inch guns. The town, which was riddled with shells, took fire at several points.

AWFULEARTHQUAKE REV. S. JACKSON DESCRIBES THE SHOCK IN ALASKA. People In Doors Hurled Violently Across Their Rooms—Houses Are Rocked end Bells Rang —People Fled to the Hills Panic Stricken. Port Townsend, Wash., Sept. 25.— Concerning the recent earthquake along the coast of Alaska, Rev. Sheldon JackI son, educational agent for Alaska, writes as follows from Y'akutat under date of Sept. 17: “The first shock was experienced on Sunday, Sept. 3, but being slight, caused no alarm. During the following five hours there were 52 distinct snooks, culminating at 3 p. m., iu a shock so severe that people of Y'akutat were hurled violently across their rooms, or if outside, they were thrown to the ’ ground while pictures fell from the walls and dishes and crockery crashed j on the shelves and the houses rocked I and swayed and whirled while the mis- ■ sion beU rang violently in the shaking I church tower. "Panic stricken, the inhabitants regained their feet and attempted to flee ■ to the hills, only to be again and again thrown to the earth. Gaining the hills and look ng seaward, they were transfixed with horror as they saw a great tidal wave, apparently a wall of water, 30 feet high approaching with the speed of a race horse, that would engulf their village and sweep away their homes. Before the shore was reached the earth opened in the bottom of the harbor and into this chasm the tidal wave spent its force and around it the sea swirled like a great maelstrom. Tnis saved the village from destruction. The tide would rise 10 feet in the space of four or five minutes and in an equally short time go down again. These sudden fluctuations were frequently repeated. Tents were pitched on the hills back of the village and nearly the whole population are camping out, fearing that another tidal wave may come. From the 10th inst to the present time there have been frequent shocks, one having occurred this forenoon. “Great spruce forests for miles along the shore were uprooted, broken into pieces and massed into great piles with a roar that was deafening. Large rocks, weighing 40 tons or more, were rolling ovor one another down the mountain like so many pebbles. “Hubbard glacier, with its two and a half miles of seafront and thousands of feet thick, extending for miles back to the summit of the mountain, broke from its mooring and with a grinding, indescribable roar that shook the surrounding hills, moved bodily from onehalf to three-quarters of a mile into the sea.”

STAGE TRAGEDY Leading Lady In “Mr. Plaster of Paris” Kills the Leading Man. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 23.—Julia Morrison, leading lady of the “Mr. Plaster of Paris’ ’ Farce Comedy company, shot and killed Frank Leiden, leading man of the company, last night on the stage of the city opera house just before the curtain rose for the performance to begin. Three shots were fired by the woman, all taking effect in Leiden’s head, and he was dead in a few minutes. The woman was arrested and taken to the city jail. It appears that they quarreled over the woman’s alleged bad acting, Leiden accusing her of being but an amateur. The woman claims that Leiden repeatedly insulted her; that he had made improper proposals to her, and in selfdefense she shot him. The verdict of the coroner's jury was to the effect that the murder was premeditated and wholly unjustifiable. The woman’s husband, a man named James, has been arrested as the instigator of the crime.
