is due to the actions OF an old warrior,

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE.


MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. IA special TO
the Journal from Walker. Mlnn., says:
a terrific battle was fought at Il this
morning 80 miles from Walker, at Bog
Me Ge. Shlrk's Point. close to Bear Island.
A detachment OF 100 men under General
Bacon was landed on the point shortly
after a, m. The landing was effected with
considerable difficulty. owing to the high
sea. After landing, a sortie OF the bush
was made in all directions. The soldiers
went through the thick undergrowth very
carefully. and with every precaution
taken against ambush. No Indians were
seen until nearly II O'Clock
The men were then ordered to line up
in the open place near the shore Of the
lake. charges were drawn and prepara-
tlons made for dinner The order to make
coffee had been given and the soldiers
were standing in column formation when
the first shot was fired. 1t came from
Bog All Me Ge Shirks house. The ball
struck Edward Harris. ex-marshal of
Walker, a half-breed. and mis- arm was
broken. That was the signal. Immedi-
ately the firing became general from all
directions. 1t seemed that shot came
from every bush. Three OF General Ba-
cons men dropped. They were at once
carried 10 the rear. on the very instant
that the first shot was heard every man
in the command sprang for cover, without
waiting for orders. Again there came a
volley from the Indians. and this was
what the troops had been waiting for.
The Krag -Jorgensons opened up with a
frightful rattle. and just as the Pillagers
made a terrific rush. half a dozen OF
them dropped and the rest fell back, yell
ing like tiends incarnate. There must have
been rs or 200 Indians.

men, made a rush to prevent the re

ABOUT AGoNCILLo's VISIT,
Agoncillo Declares His People Are Capa-
BILE OF Self Government, But Wants

NEW YORK, Oct. "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says;
Senator William Z. Chandler has just
ended brief visit to Washington, re-
turning to his home in New Hampshire
and expecting to remain in that state un-
IN after election. Before his departure
the senator said in relation to the Phil
ippino questions

His first desire is that the treaty of Paris

he Is anxious that the experiment of self
government may be tried by the people OF

clear that the people Of the islands will

EuRorE.s FRUIT CROP SHORT

This is a good year to send American
fruits. especially apples, to Germany
Europes fruit crop is anything but good,
according to Consul Monaghan. Of Chem

II our merchants viii not repeat the
folly Of former years by sending poor
fruit that decays easily they can COM
mand the markets for years against all
Efforts to dislodge them. II baldwins,
greetings, russets and other hardy win

remain doubtful. other apples will not
