The Filipinos Scattering Chit of * Reach of the Guns of Gen. MacArthur’s Men. THE OAY SPENT IN REC0NN4ISANCES. The Recent Attack la Said to Rave Been a Complete Surprise to the lasnrgenta—Officers Highly Commend the Work ot the Recruits— Filipinos Short ot Ammunition, Manila, Aug. 11.—Gen. MacArthur’s troops remained all night at Calulet. The rebels had fled far beyond rifle range for the American outposts Avere pot disturbed, and not a shot was fired during the night. At daybreak a reeonnoitering party, consisting of a battalion of the SeA’enteenth 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 a field gun. A, Badly Directed Fire. The Americans tvere received with a badly-direeted rifle fire, which the battalion of the Seventeenth returned Avith a few volleys. The strength of the insurgents at Angeles not being knoAvn the situation Avas reported to Gen. MacArthur, who did not desire to send reinforcements, and directed the reeonnoitering party to return unless the rebels abandoned the town. Soon after the receipt of these orders it became evident that the rebels had set fire to the town and fled, lear-ing the place to be occupied by the Americans. On a Reconnaissance. A battalion of the Twelfth infantry Avas also sent on a reeonnoitering expedition towards the Avest, but up to noon no firing had been heard in their direction, and no Avord had been received from them at Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters, and it is believed that they encountered nothing. Everything indicates that all the rebels have scattered for miles in every direction around Calulet. Insurgents Lost Heavily. The insurgents lost heavily'in the fighting around Calulet. It is believed that 100 *were killed and 300 or 400 wounded. The Iowa regiment killed 30 in the place, and one company of the Seventeenth suddenly encountered ft party of rebels in a trench and killed 19

The American loss was five killed and SI wounded, including three officers. . Wna a Complete Surprise. The attack was a complete surprise to the insurgents, who had no idea that a movement was inteifded until the armored car opened a deadly lire tvith two gutlings, a revolipg cannon and a six-pounder. The heavy artillery opened on both flank ? a moment later. A majority of the Filipinos \\;ere asleep when the attack was made. Men with large bells were heard running among the shacks arousing the soldiers. The Americans maintained almost a peb». feet line four miles long through cane brakes, where they could see nothing ahead. Mud was Knee Deep. The mud in places was deep in the rice fields and jungles.and through the ditches flowed small rivers several feet deep. The Filipinos tried to ambush file American several times, the country in the neighborhood being well edaptetHo these tactics, but the troops stopped for nothing, forcing their way through or over obstacles and firing whenever they could locate the fleeing .enemy. j Recruits Commended. "The officers highly lommcrul the re--cruits of the various regiments, There is reason to believe the reports reeejhtly received that the insurgents are ! short of ammuniton, as well-informed natives at Calulet say that five rounds extra were issued just before the fight. Since the American occupation of San Fernando the rebels have torn up three miles of railroad between there ■and Calulet, and it is impossible to get the armored ear more than two miles "beyond San Fernando. Official Dispatch From Gen. Otis. Washington, Aug. 12.—Gen. Otis has cabled the war department as follows: ! Manila, Aug. 11.—Adjutant General "Washington: MacArthur has taken possession of Santa Rita; reconnoitered Berac, Angeles and other points. The insurgents have been driven north. One casualty yesterday, none to-day. •Condition of the roads makes movement of troops difficult*1 but it is considered necessary to open up this section of the country,as it virtually gives ^control of the province of Bataan and relieves the inhabitants there. “OTIS.” - No Further Engagements. ^Manila, Aug. 11, 5:10 p. m.—lleeonnoitering by small parties continued all day. Unavailing attempts were made to get in contact with the enemy. The American troops occupy Calulet^ Santa Itina, Bacoler and Guagua. No further engagements have taken place. The rains have recomnienced. The wounded are being broug-ht into Manila.

More Troops Arrived. ^Washington, Aug. 12.—Gen. Qtis cabled the war department, as follows: Manila, Aug. 11.—City of Para arrived. Private Cosley Reed, A, Twen-ty-fourth, died at sea.

The Citwof Para sailed from San Francisco, July 13, with Troops B and D, Fourth cavalry; heahquarter, A, F, H, and K, Twenty-fourth infantry; and B, engineer battalion—36 officers and 1U1 enlisted men,' Gen. Schwan commanding. The Sheridan will bring back th* Minnesota and South Dakota tioops.

A RECONNAISSANCE IN FORCE. IM Mateo Takes and Occupied by Oar Troops Under Gen. Samuel Yoanjf. Manila, Aug. 14.—A reconnaissance, Saturday, by troops of Gen. Samuel B. M. Young's brigade, with the^object of discovering the whereabouts of the enemy near San Mateo, northeast of the San Juan’ reservoir, about ten miles from Manila, resulted in the occupation of San Mateo. The American loss was three killed and 13 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, advanced from Novaliches, five miles west of San Mateo; Capt. Rivers, with 100 men of the Fourth cavalry, and Cupt. Parker, formerly lieutenant-col-onel of the Twelfth New York regiment, with 280 men of Jf!e Twenty-first and Twenty-fourth,-cavalry,approached in two columns froWthe south. Maj. Cronin experienced many diffithe enemy strongly intrenched on the culties, arising from the condition of lion with Capt. Rivers west of San Mateo, as had been planned. Capt. Rivers, advancing, took an outpost of the enemy two miles southwest of San Mateo. He then encountered strong resistance among the hills, the enemy tiring from excellent positions. Having failed to connect with Maj. Cronin, and seeing that the town was already occupied by the Americans, Capt. Rivers withdrew, covering his withdrawal by a heavy volley, lie lost a sergeant killed. Capt. Parker, on advancing, found the enemy strongly entrenched 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 40 minutes’ fighting, and then continued the march upon Mateo, which lie entered, without serij ous resistance, about half-past one in I the^afternoon. Maj. Cronin entered the town about J half-past four. The Americans still occupy the place. Our men were exhausted by the heavy marching. Twen-ty-three of the enemy are known to have been killed. This is the first action in which Col. Burt's colored troops participated. They behaved well, their leaders havl ing difficulty in holding them back, j Gen. Young accompanied Capt. Pars ker's column and was under fire throughout the engagement. It is estimated that the enemy numbered between 300 and 400 men.

[ RELIEF OF THE PORTO RICANS., DimmtcliPN from Gov.-Gen. Davia 1 Giving Additional Details of the Havoc Wrought. Washington, Aug. 14.—Two dispatches from Gov.-Gen. Davis of Porto Rico, giving additional details of the fearful havoc wrought by the hurricane of last week, were received at the war department yesterday. They were immediately sent to Secretary Root, who already had taken measures for dispatching relief to the people of the island. The secretary expects the transport McPherson with a large quantity of rice and beans will leave New York to-day and this will be followed by other vessels as fast as arrangements ran be made for sending supplies. He thinks it is the duty of the government to make provision for feeding the people until the aid voluntarily given by the, citizens of the country reaches them, and he will exhaust every means at his disposal to this end. The secretary contemplates supplementing the appeal made last week to the mayors to assist in raising subscriptions and to-day will issue an appeal to the governors of the states with a view to arousing general interest in the relief work. The dispatches received from Gen. Davis were sent to the president at Lake Champlain last night. / TRANSPORT’S EXCITING TRIP. A Succession of Accidents, Crimea and Casualties—Narrowly Ec- ' capes Capture by Filipinos. San Francisco, Aug. 14.—The United States transport Centennial arrived here from Manila yesterday after a most exciting round trip. She narrowly missed a couple of typhoons; was ashore on ii coral reef, where the entire crew barely escaped capture by the I ilpinos; one of the quartermasters was stabbed by a colored cook. Decause of the stabbing, Charles Wilson, of the Centennial galley staff, arrived here in irons while Herman Brevy, the transport's quartermaster, will have a sojourn in some hospital until he recovers from the effects of the cook’s knife. During the lighteningprocess, necessary to get the Centennial off the reef near Manila, on her outward trip, a quantity of government stores to the value of $13,000 had to be jettisoned »nd were eagerly appropriated by the Filipinos, who swarmed about the reef and made more than one attack jfor the purpose of capturing the vessel and crew.

--- Hurricane Losing Force. Washington, Aug. 14.—The West Indian hurricane appears to be graSually decreasing in strength and the chances are that it will spend itself before making much further progress. I The weather bureau gave out this hews last night: The movement of the hurricane is apparently very slow and even at Jacksonville the velocity of the wind this morning was but 12 miles an hour. The opinion of the officials is that by the time Charleston is | reached no more than an ordinary I wind will be blowing.

THE HEW SECRETARY OF WAR. How Sir. Root la Preparlag Htmacli I for the Important Duties of Ills Office. Washington, Aug. 14.—Secretary Root is beginning to get a firm grasp on the administration of the war department. He has been at the head of affairs only ten days and yet this has been sufficient to show his methods and the influence which his vigorous personality exerts throughout the military establishment. „ Galas for Bottom Facts. At the outset Mr. Root set about familiarizing himself with the more important details of the department, much as a lawyer first prephres his statement of facts as a basis for his legal analysis. From Adjutant-General Corbin he secured data showing at a glance a broad outline of the army in the field. From the quartermaster general he learned the number of transports,the capacity and readiness to carry troops and the exact status of stores, clothing and equipment, particularly as to Gen. Otis’ forces in “front ot the enemy. Of the commissary general he asked just how many rations were in actual stock at Manila, how long this supply would last; how quickly it could be replenished and whether -there whs an ample margin for every emergency. * In Touch with Every Branch. The same information has been drawn as to ordnance, medical and hospital supplies, engineering and signal equipment. Each bureai| officer submitted a succinct tabular statement and this was supplemented by s personal talk with the secretary. Xol only the officials here, but those ul Manila have been consulted by cablt whenever jit has been necessary to adc to the completeness of the informatioi at hand here. In this way Mr. Real has brought himself in touch with every branch of the military service anc has gathered a most complete anc analyzed resume of military affairs. Studying Gen. Otis’ Campaign. While getting in hand this administrative machinery, Mr. Root, has at the same time made a careful inquiry into the military situation in the field. Probably the most important military inquiry he is pursuing is as to the exRct;fluctuations of the insurrection in the' Philippines wince the day it be gan. For that purpose a military mat is being prepared by the adjutant general’s office for the private use of the secretary, showing the advance of oui forces from day to day throughout Gen. Otis’ campaign, the position and movements on different occasions, tli<? retreat of the enemy and its position and force from time to time.

A Bird’s-Eye View. It will be a bird’s-eye view of thi theater of military operations throughout the insurrection. Data will’ be written in to show the position of the army as the campaign proceeded and as far as possible it will convey to the eye an idea of the scope of the military operations in the Philippines up tc date. The preparation of this map has been put in charge of Maj. Simpson, chief of the bureau of military information, Avho has been giving his undivided attention to making it complete and comprehensive. Conferretl with the Generals. While going over the military phases of the work, the secretary has conferred with the commanding general, Gen. Miles, and with Gen. Merritt, who is second in command, on the military prdblems presented, and beside the military results of these counsels it has established co-operation between the executive head of the war department and the ranking officers of the army*. No Fnr-Renel*Ins Poliele*. Meanwhile the; secretary has announced no far-reaching policies. iTe proceeds slowly while the facts on which policies rest are being assem- j bled. If there has been some loose ; and rather careless statements as to proposed policy, they have probably | been as much a surprise to him as tc the public. So, too, the reports set j afloat before he entered office, that he | would confine his attention to Cuban I affairs, leaving the Philippines to '‘the j military authorities,” have not been borne out, but, on the contrary, the j military exigencies in the Philippines have been the subject of his most earn- ! est solicitude. Concerning Cuba and Porto Rico, j Concerning Cuba and Porto Rico, the detailed administration of their affairs I with its multitude of minor issues is being left largely with lps assistants and chiefs and he is concerning himself with the larger questions of the reconstruction ana future of these islands with the substitution of oi lerly civil government for the military' regime now in force. When former Premier Rivera urged Saturday that an order be speedily issued for municipal elections in Porto Rico the secretary replied that he hoped these elections would occur as scon as the presen| unhappy and storm-swept condition of the island would permit. When it was suggested that the desolation in Porto Rico made opportune a remission of duties on articles of prime necessity, the secretary said he was already conferring with Gen. Davis, governor general of the island, as to that step.

A Laborious and Methodical Worker. Mr. lloot has little time for the crowd of callers with small requests. He is a laborious and methodical worker. 'When there ■was some sur-. prise fit his remaining at his desk until seven o’clock Thursday evening—three hours after the building was deserted —he explained that it was his habit to concentrate his attention upon important work from ten in the morning until 11 o’clock at night, usually without the distraction of meals. He has been making his studies at home most Of the evening since he has been here.

NOT THE ONLY ISSUE. ■ ] There la Plenty of Material for the Democrats to Use In the Kent Campaiarn. Isn’t it about time that democratic newspapers and democra tic politician:-, arrived at some sensible understanding as to the democratic rights and privileges of the men who will compose the next national convention? That issues cannot be made by politicians has been said by so many of them in so many different ways that it would seem idle to repeat the assertion were it not for the continued nonsense one reads in gold standard journals about the ef™ i fort in democratic circles to betray Bryan and silver. Nobody ever charged tlhat the demo* | cratic convention of 1896 was disloyal to the tariff reform idea. That convention declared for the free coinage of silver and for a tariff for revenue •; at one and the same time, and the very j men who were foremost in insisting that a strong free coinage plank be . incorporated in the platform had been the most conspicuous advocates of the "Wilson law. They were broad enough to understand that a great party must stand for something more than a single j idea, and the convention which nominated Mr. Bryan so declared. The same Altgeld who is now leading a faction j in Chicago which has put buttons on its followers anid labeled them “Bryan —sixteen to one” had asrfmuch to do with making the platform of 1396 as any other one man in the democratic party. No one then charged that Alt* geld was lukewarm in his advocacy of free silver coinage, and yet Altgelcl’s sole fight in thatconvention was to Haveincorporated in the national platform a plank denouncing government by injunction and the interference of federal troops.

As it was in 1896 so it will be in 1900. The delegates who will speak for the democratic party will be loyal bimetallists. They will be earnest tariff reformers and will be ready to denounce the encroachments of the federal authorities on the liberties of the people. This was democratic doctrine in 1896 and it will be democratic doctrine in 1900. But as-the developments in the great Illinois and other strikes caused the national convention of 1S96 to de-* clare against federal interference in local affairs and make that question an issue, so far as the democratic party was concerned, so will the overcapitalization and unprecedented formation of trusts cause the democratic party in 1900 to demand their regulation by national legislation. And because the present administration has plunged us Into an unholy war of conquest and threatened the stability of the republic with a pernicious policy of imperialism the democratic convention will speak in such language that all the people can understand what the policy of the party will be if intrusted with the reins of government. There has not been a period approaching a national convention since the war when there was so little friction among democrats regarding the proposed main planks in the national platform. And, just as the republican convention will declare for something else beside the gold standard, so will the democratic party declare for something more than free silver coinage, and the campaign will be fought to a finish on the issues which are of the most concern to the people.—Kansas City Times. the Rale Boss from Money Making* The announcements that Mark Hanna is “retiring from business” suggest the inquiry, How' is it possible for a man of large fortune to “retire from business” without giving up his fortune? Time was when a man with all his property in farms could intrust it to the management of agents, and if he 1 had exercised sound judgment in se- i lecting honest agents could be sure of some sort of income. And at present j it is possible for a man of moderate means to transact no more business than the signing of dividend checks and looking after an occasional change of investment. But nowadays the man of great fortune, no matter how it is invested, dares; not retire. Honesty is not the only quality essential In the agent of the ever will be the prime essential. He must have capacity for delicate and ever-changing and ever more complicated commercial affairs. Sueh agents soon cease to be agents and become millionaires. So the multi-millionaire must be ever watchful, ever hard at work, ever watching to root out the germs of those wings which riches now more than ever before tend to sprout that they may take flight. Hanna may be shifting the form of his investments. But neither he no^ any other modern multi-millionair^ will ever “retire from business” oy cease to be a mighty hard-working man so long as he stays above groun<p and stays rich.—N. Y. World.

EtC: , REVILED AT HOME; '» the Rrpcltlleut Preu^aa B n4 • Films at It* Weak A 1 Head. The weakest president since |in* chinan,” the New York Herald (in :L) calls President McKinley. “A hesitating president” is what the republic an New York Tribune calls him. “Is th :;ra no ope else?” asks the republican Ft rtlaid Oregonian, as it contemplates the apparent certainty of Mr; McKinhy’s renomination, and wonders, “if the republicans think they hare a walk ' ver fop 19C0, do they propose to go on of business in 1904?” The Oregonian § oes on, to say: "Now: is the time to take Into acc< unt the certain impression made upon such of our people hs are neither office-hol !ers nor office-seekers, by the administration of William McXinley. Is there no one else?. - Tit is an imperfect world, and we must deal with voters as we find- them. It w :mld be of all things most lamentable and to be opposed tooth and nail that a candidate running on the reiterated Chicago platform should be elected. But ! we must reckon with the impulses as well as the reason of the people. It may not be possible to placate all that are enrage il at apathy to the gold standard: at betrayal of the civil service: at sacrifice of the army; at neglect of Alaska: at cl sastrouB delays in Lunon; at appointments of unfit men for o!3ce. The people like a man that doesn't try to evade, am delay, and equivocate, and try to cany water on both shoulders. They don't like a man that will tell his cabinet office ir be wants him to stay, and get two or three gobetweens to tell him he wants him t ;> go. They like a man that has the decision to act and the courage to speak." The New York Tribune, the foremost republican organ of them all, in sinilar vein remarks that ‘if President Me Kinley has erred, it has been in hesitating to assert his own undoubted prerogatives.” The Tribune takes no sto< k in the assertion that a lawyer was needed

for secretary of war, and says: “Congress has plenty of lawyers n Its own membership. If It should not choose to adopt their suggestions, it muld readily obtain suggestions from others. Neither congress nor the country is so thoroughly satisfied with the actual work legitimately done by the war department under its recent head as to receive with equanimity the extraordinaiy statement that a new head has been chosen or it riot so much with reference to improving its necessary and imperative services, but Expressly with a view to doing some thing .else which primarily belongs to the senate and house of representatives.” So much for the claim, const:.ntly Iiaraded, that President McKinley has 10 opposition, no critics, within his own ;arty. Ilis very weakness has proved ds strength with the patronage—.liafering, nomination-making bosses of he republican party. The Platts, the )uays, and the Hannas of course adaire a president who will abdica e his tower of appointment in their feehaif. Jut the thinking element of the relubliean party, although they do not pack primaries, deliver delegator, or Control conventions, have taken the measure of President McKinley; and enough of them will vote against him to, defeat his reelection, if the democracy is wise. President McKinley may even find that, so far as the nomination itself is concerned, he has sold his birthright for not even a mess of pottage. The Platts, the Hannas and the Quays vould [not hesitate to keif© hirq in a minute, {should self-interest so dictate;—Albany [Argus.

j ALGERISM STILL AN ISSUE. ' ; TIi^AUmlalstra lion's Record (Uuot Be Clertred of tlie Black Spot. Two of Senaicr McMillan’s business partners and avowed friends made liberal contributions to the fund with which the expenses of the ‘'Alger welcome” to Detroit were to be defrayed. One of them accompanied his check with a note expressing “contempt for President McKinley and his cowardly treatment of Gen. Alger.” The d»mator also hoped “the reception will be the biggest thing on record.” Neither President McKinley nor his supporters need have cause to regard this, or the numerous other manifestations in Michigan, seriously. The strange ways of Michigan polities may be past finding out, but there is nothing in this particular kind of ehi ilition either strange or threatening. It is exactly of a pie<* with the “sympathy” which Senator McMillan recently expressed for Alger when the latter was forced by the pressure of public opinion to retire from the cabinet.» Tactics of this sort cannot divert the issue of Algorism in Michigan any more than in ether parts of the country. Alger is gone, but Algorism remains to plague the administration, as ■witness Eagan. It may be possible that sufficient woe can be worked up in Michigan to Send Alger to the senate, but that will not cleanse the af ministration’s record of Algerism.--- Washington Times.

POINTS AND OPINIONS. -If Hanna has really “given up business” he’s out of politics.—N. Y. World. - -An “anti-Hanna republica n” has been nominated for office in Green county, Ohio. A flock of white crows has also been seen; hens are catting full sets of teeth, and the democrats expect to carry Vermont.—Alba: iy Argus. -Presider t McKinley is as responsible for the conduct of the war department as Mr. Alger. He has J nown how that department was administered and nothing has been done without hi3 sanction. The retirement of Alger, therefore, will in no measure be an expiation of the sins of the admit istration.—Balt ime re Sun. -If Mr. McKinley had aslteil the seefittary of war to retire *a year ago, when the demonstration of his utter unfitness was complete, he wouli have saved his administration from the odium of Algerism. But by retaining and sustaining him until he volur arily retires the president has made hi mself responsible for Alger’s offense a and shortcomings.—N. Y. World. - ' I'/ '....lit i
