Rebels vt Battle Of Bulacan.
A Madrid dispatch reports further de-
tails received there from the Philippines
of the disastrous defeat of the rebels. Ac-
cording to the advices, at the battle of Bull
acan Gen. Rios commanded the Spaniarls.
The rebels, numbering 5000, were in
trenchcd on the Cacaron heights. The
Spaniards attacked the trenches with the
bayonet and captured a cartridge factory,
In addition to guns, etc.
During the pursuit" the dispatch con-
tinues, "the rebels often pretended to be
dead and afterwards spang up and
attacked the Spaniards in the rear. At one
place the Spaniards. suspecting that the
insurgents had hidden in the bushes, set
IRE to them and 200 persisted in the 1lamcs."

slight chance Of seven more yet alive.
Five men came ashore at Dayton, Capt.
Murphy, stephen Crane the novelist, the
cook, and two sailors. One OF the latter,
VIM. Higgins Of Rhode Island, died soon
after reaching land from the effects OF the
high surf. One Of the survivors says the

cents to 81 cents per ton. The notice says
a rate of 20 cents has been agreed upon in
Pennsylvania under the long established
system whereby the rate is cents less than

Legislatures That Met Tuesday.
South Dakota,

The only inaugural ceremonies at the
state house at Pierre on Tuesday last con-
sisted in swearing in the new officers bv
Presiding Judge COrsOn, which was done
in the governors Office. AS number Of
house members were snow bound at diff
ferent points in the state the messages Of
the two governors will not be read until
the organization is completed.
The senate members were sworn in by
Justice Fuller and at once proceeded with
their organization. A set of rules was
presented by Senator Palmer, who moved
that they be adopted as the rules of the
senate. After considerable discussion
they were adopted until rules could be
submitted to the senate by the committee.
The principal difference between the rules
presented and those of the last session was
provision for the nan ing of the commit
tees by a majority of the senate instead of
tee, appointed for this purpose were
Moody, Grill of Union, Winslow Of San.
born and Hatch Of Mcpherson.
The members of the house present were
sworn in by Justice llaney and on account
of the number of absentees an adjourn
ment was taken to Wednesday afternoon.
The roll call showed % absentecs--l4 Re-
pubicans and Populists.
The POpulist house caucus selected Rep
resentative Colvin for speaker and j. $.
Lien for chief clerk and adjourned without
completing their list. The principal Re-
publican house nominees are w. $. Glass,
speaker: j. w, Coae. clerk; A. IL, Howey,
clerk. The Democrats have not come to a
definite understanding. They are demand
ing certain concessions from the Populists.
some Of which are said to be chairman of
the railroad committee and a place on the
house force, and declare if they do not get
what they ask for they will put their man
for speaker to the front and stand by him.
in which case it may take some time to
choose presiding officer.
The inaugural ball and reception of state
officers in the evening was brilliant affair.

Liquor Daspensary for Kansas.
1t is currently reported that the leading
prohibitionists and temperance workers of

this winter to pass a law establishing the
state liquor dispensary in Kansas. Many
assert this is the only method by which
they can ever hope to crush out the drug
store system of saloons and joints. The
matter will be brought before the state
prohibition convention at Topeka Jan
uary II and 13, and it is said will be
officially endorsed and a legislative COM
mittce appointed to steer the bill through
