REPORTS D 0 NOT AGREE

Accerding to Dispatch of Watson Navy Did Most of the Fight-

ing at Noveleta.

DIFFERENT STORY THAN OTIS TOLD.

Marines Under Elliott Capture the Town While Schwan Is Appronch-

ing Old Cavite Which He Had Taken—San Francisco de Malabon Is Taken Without Opposition.

Washington, Oct. 11.—The naval account of the attack on Noveleta, which ditfers materially from the account given by Gen, Otis, is contained in the following cablegram received at the navy department Tuesday from Admiral Waison: ‘“Manila, Oct. 10.—Secretary of the Navy, Washington: October 8, Elliott, with 300 marines, at request of Gen. Otis, attacked insurgents outside Noveleta, carried outposts and town while Gen. Schwan took old Cavite and approached Noveleta at right angles. Elliott’s advance effected junction with Schwan at Noveleta; after resting returned, having accomplished most difficult task, highly creditable; Spaniards found Noveleta impregnable, once lost entire regiment there. Petrel shelled country ahead of Elliott, but marines subject hot fire from insurgents; two officers, nine men wounded, one man since died; 50 temporary heat prostrations; names wounded follow: Hill, C. 8., first lieutenant, flesh left thigh; Langhorne, C. .D., assistant surgeon, flesh right arm; MecDonald, John, private, two wounds through head, serious; McKinnon, A., first sergeant, left wrist; Linnehan, F. C., private, left wrist; Buehler, H., private, above right knee flesh; Williams, Guy, private, left thigh fracture of bone, serious; Hannan, P., private, flesh wound above right ankle; Barker, M. L., private, flesh right knuckles; O’Shea, 8., private, right buttock, penetrating abdomen, dead; Albright, J. F., private, abdomen, perforating intestines, serious. Callao’s light draft enabled her take position whence she effectually - shelled fleeing insurgents. Langhorne wounded early while dressing Hill’s wound, continued caring for wounded and sick entire day, deserves highest praise.

(Signed) “WATSON.” Bluejackets at Bacoor.

Washington, Oct. 11.—The navy department has received the following cablegram from Admiral Watson:

““Manila, Oct. 10.—Secretary Navy, Washington: On October 3, landed at Bacoor, company of bluejackets and a company of marines from the Baltimore and a company of marines from the navy yard to cooperate with Gen. Grant and clear the insurgents from his front. The movement was perfectly stuiccessful.! Three men from the Baltimore were wounded, namely, Edward Ray, fireman, first class; Charles Henry Scott, fireman, second - class, and John: Thompson-Clark, landsman. All doing well and will recover. (Signed) “WATSON.” Another Town Taken.

Manila, Oct. 11.—Schwan’s column entered San Irancisco de Malabon without opposition Tuesday morning. The enemy had fled.

oOtis’ Report.

Washington, Oct. 11.—The war department has received the following dispatch from Gen. Otis, dated Manila, October 10: . ) “Gen. Schwan’s column moved early this morning from Santa Cruz de Malabon, now believed to be in San Francisco de Malabon, not meeting very determined resistance; matters quiet in Imus section. Gen. Young with column starts northward to-morrow morning from San Fernando. Col. Bell cleared country yesterday west of Guagua to and including Florida Blanca, making captures of cfficers, men and propert).l\lnj. Bell Routs Insurgents. Manila, Oct. 11.—Maj. Bell, with 120 picked men of the Thirty-sixth regiment, made a reconnaisance Monday in the direction of Florida Blanco, four miles out of Guagua, and encountered a body of 100 insurgents, whom they routed, capturing a Ilieutenant and three armed privates. Near Florida Blanco they met another body of insurgents and routed them, capturing another armed lieutenant and one private. Returning with 20 scouts, Maj. Bell encountered the enemy a third time. The round reconnaisance resulted in scattering the insurgentsin:that locality. : The last two days have witnessed considerable outpost firing by small bands of insurgents on the northern lines. Simultaneously with the-affair near La Lema church Monday the outposts of the American forces at Caloocan, Deposito and Marquina were fired upon. It appears that the insurgents in the neighborhood are operating in bands of from five to twenty, and it is rumored that attacks are to be made upon the hospitals. The uprising in Manila will result in extra vigilance on the part of the United States troops.

Newark Ordered to Philippines.

New York, Oct. 11.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: Acting Secretary Allen has ordered the cruiser Newark to the Philippines. She is now fitting out :j Mare Island. Capt. B. H, McCalla, who did such good work at Guantanamo, is in command of her.

The auxiliary cruiser Badger will require 15 days’ repairs. The gunboat Bancroft is.practically ready and will be speedily put in commission. The Nashville has arrived at San ‘Juan, where she is taking coal aboard. The New Orleans is on her way to New York to be repaired. The Brooklyn will sail for Manila Tuesday or Wednesday.

Anticipates Year’s Interest,

Washington, Oct. 11.—Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip has issued an order anticipating the November inferest without discount. The order also provides for the anticipation of the entire fiscal year’s interest at a discount of 2-10 of one per cent. a month, If this offer is taken advantage of it will release about $30,000,000.

Ordered Prosecuted.

Paris, Oct. 11.—The" judge of the assize court at. Pontoise has ordered the prosecution for manslaughter of the organizers of the recent bullfight at Deuil, where one man was trampled to death by the escaping bull and several others were severely injured. -

IL.et Themn Make Money if They Can

Business men in almost.every comnmunity seem to undervalue the returns from good, legitimate advertising, and the views of an exchange on this subject are well worth consideration. It says: “There <seems ,to be a feeling among business men that a newspaper has noright to make money. Why not? It is the most exacting business in the world, the most trying on men in every way. It means long hours and the greatest care in its conduet. The newspaper has the entire public to deal with. Itis criticised on all ocecasions. It has to aeal with all the hobbies of all the cranks in the community, and to do this successfully requires judgment and patience. It has power and that power, to the credit of jo&rnaljsm. is nearly always wielded for the publice weal. No question of vital concern to the home people fails to find strong support from the home newspaper and this too without remuneration. The publisher spends his own money to further these projects and the community never gives a thought to the matter of cost to him. Itis notpaid out of the public pocket. Every community needs good newspapers and the way to have them is to assist in making the business profitable. 'The newspaper wants' every concern to make a profit.. Why should not this good will be mutual? To make a profit the newspaper must have a living rate for the paper and for its advertising space.”

Quite a Question

An exchange says: ‘‘The judicial department of the German Empire has recently been called upon to pass on the proper abbreviation for- 1900. The common abbreviation for 1899 is of course, '99, but the German judges have.decided that 'OO would notdo at all for the first year of the next century. Accordingly, the year will have to be written out in full on all the Gezxnan documeénts.” ‘ Thisfs quite a question of course. Still, the two naughts will represent the year 1900 as plainly as!’99 represents this year. What else ecan it represent? Kverybody will know what is meant.! But we object to their calling the year 1900 ‘the first of the next century.” :

Arbor Day.

Governor Mount has set aside Friday, Oectober, 27th, as Arbor Day. In his proclamation he calls attention to the rapid disappearance of the stately trees which once adorned the hills and valleys of our favored land, and in order that the time may never come in Indiana when there will be no forests, he urges that Arbor Day be properly observed throughout the state bv the planting of trees, shrubs and vines. He asks the co-oFeration of all the citizens, .especially those who are identified with the edueational institutions of the state, for the dedication of the day to the planting of trees. SRR = m

VOIL. 3834--NO. 28.

. Obituary. Cleo Norine Zimmerman, infant daughter of John W. and Thella Cresse Zimmerman, was born Jan. 17, 1899, died October, 4, 1899, aged 8 months and 17 days. . Little C'leo was a frail little bunch of sweetness, too much so to stand the rough winds of this boisterous life. Cared. for by many tender hands and watched over by mahy anxious hearts, still, she was simply permitted to **Bud on earth to bloom in Heaven”. But in that short time she entwined herself around the affeetions of loved ones, and departiny, draws parents and dear ones, by her sweet little hand now so still, to better things in heaven.

Sweetly she ¢leeps. And.on dream wings she flies

To piay with th'é':mgvls in paradise

The funeral was conducted at the F. B. ehurch in Cosperville, by Rev. T.J. Mawhorter. Her parents, grand parents, uncles and aunts and other relation and little Cleo Butz, whose namesake she was, deeply mourn their loss. Many friends extend their sympathy to the bereaved parents, and expressed it by their presence at tire funeral. The tasteful decoraticns and the floral offerings were beautiful, especially that by the undertaker, Mr. Kerr. :

CARD OF THANKS

Mr.-and Mrs. Zimmerman desire to express their thanks for the kindness shown them in their sad bereavement.

Mr. George Washington Walker was born-in Noble county, Indiana, FFeb. 22, 1850, died October 3, 1899, aged 49 years, 7 months and 11 days. - He was a man of great strength but not of ordinary size and weight, in his* early manhood. His home has always been in his native country. He was married to Miss Amelia A. Guettler, March 30, 1873; to them W. - - were born-three children, Lillian, deceased, Charles, a noble young man upon whose strong arm a widowed mother can lean, little Mabel, who is too young to realize her grave loss. His weight gradually increased until about fifteen years ago, while residing at Albion, his weight had becoine such a burden that he was disabled for work to any great extent. His weight exceeded 520 pounds. ‘He was connected and joined the Cosperville Free Baptist church under the labors of, T. J. Mawhorter, and on the 17th day of April, 1898, his pastor baptized him in -the Elkhart river, and as he arose from the water, his face shone with the radiance of the new life within. He was a consistent christian, seeking to know and do his masters’ will. It was a pleasure to visit him and talk of the divine life, he enjoyed the services of the sanctuary, and was faithful in attendance. Affiicted with a fistula for twenty-seven years, a second, so depleted his system that medical skill proved unavailing, and after several weeks of severe suffering, he laid aside the great physical burden he had patiently borne so long, and entered into a better life—we have great reasons to believe.

The funeral services were conducted at the home, by Rev. T. J. Mawhorter, under a beautiful tent, the casket being too large to be taken into the house.” About six-hundred persons were present and viewed the remains. He leaves to mourn his de: parture, a companion, son, daughter, father, two brothers, one sister and many other relatives and friends. His remains ;were interred in the Wright cemetery.
