A DRUNKEN BORDER ROW.
The "Pitched BattIe- mt Fort Ring
gold Greatly EXAGGERATED.

WASHINGTON, Nov. PAT the War De-
partment it is stated that the information
received from the Department of Texas is
gold Is nothing more than a drunken border
row, and the belief is expressed that il has
been exaggerated as to its proportions. The
secretary of war has sent n dispatch to
Governor Sayres in reply to the demand for
the removal of the troops, saying that the
department had already taken measures to
preserve peace and restore order. Secretary
Roots telegram to Governor Sayres follows:
Your dispatch of 2lst is received. Com
handing officer of the department has al
ready sent Lieut.. Col. Roberts. an expe-
riepced and judicious officer, to Fort Ring
gold and Captain Day from Fort Brown
with a force to replace the present force. i
have no ineligible of cause of
trouble, but every effort will be made by
United States officers to prevent its contin-
uance. 1 suggest that you inform citizens
of this and counsel moderation. Officer now
in command there has been forbidden to fire
a shot unless absolutely necessary in self
defense"
1t is not now the present intention of the
war department to remove the troops from
Ringgold, as It is believed the difficulties can
be corrected without any such action. 1t is
quite likely that some more experienced
officer will be sent to command at Ringgold.
The War Department received the following
telegram later i'm the day from Governor
Sayres:
Have just received telegram from sheriff,
who says he has had a conference with
commanding officer at Ringgold, and that
everything is quiet. He Is quite certain that
there will be no further trouble"

WAS MUCHEXAGGERATED
SITUATION AT RIO GRANDE CITY NOT
SERIOUS AS REPORTED.
No Further Trouble Between the Fort
RinggOId Garrison and Citizens
The Post to He Abandoned.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 22.-There are no
new developments anent the race trouble at
Rio Grande City between the federal negro
soldiers and the population of that town.
Early this morning Governor Sayers re-
ceived a telegram from the sheriff at Rio
Grande City stating that everything was
quiet there and he thought they would re-
main so. Secretary Of War Root telegraphed
that he had sent experienced officers to the
scene of the trouble to make a full and
thorough Investigation, and pending their
report he trusted that the people would re-
main quiet. The population of Rio Grande
City is largely Mexican. and 1t is believed
that bad blood has existed between them
and the negro soldiers for some time. Pend
ing a full and complete report from the
state adjutant general and the war officials.
nothing further will be done in the matter
by Governor Savers. He expects the report
from the adjutant general soon.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Nov. 22.-Two an
nouncements can be mad in regard to the
late trouble between the negro troops and
the citizens at Fort Ringgold on the Mex
team frontier. One is the welcome news
from both military and civilians sources
that everything is quiet and that no further
trouble is expected. The other is that the
post is to be permanently abandoned. The
garrison will be withdrawn as soon as the
necessary arrangements car be made. This
latter statement was made by General Nc
Kibben this afternoon and leaves no doubt
of the intention of the military authorities.

Views of the Chief Military
ties in the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The opinion OF
many military men and of resident foreign
ers is that Aguinaldo has probably escaped
by changing the seat of war into the north
ern part of the island. They think he has
taken a considerable army with him. This,
If true, will necessitate a new series or
operations on our part, and Aguinaldo mas
gained a temporary strategic advantage.
Those holding this view point out the fact
that the insurgents never intended to hold
the alleged capital at Tarlac as a perma-
nent capital, as 1t was only slightly fortified.
They also claim that the railroad, being
left intact while much rolling stock was
burned and destroyed, indicates that a rapid
retreat was made several weeks back. This
retreat must have been accomplished at the
t~ime>Lawton began his San Isidro move
ment. Therefore the insurgents have had
time to move out their principal supplies
and munitions. 1t is also a TACT that our
circle of troops has been closed up so far
without material resistance. except in the
region of escape to the north, near Whea-
tons column. The captured supplies, too.
have proved Insignificant compared with
those hat would be required; Aguinaidos
at from ten TO twenty thousand men. Their
known large quantities of artillery are still
unaccounted for.
lHt lAAAACA
Schwan differ somewhat from this view.
They say to-day that they do not know
whether or not Aguinaldo, with his army,
has escaped into the tobacco valley to the
north. Ii so. they doubt whether he has
escaped with any considerable force. They
believe that Aguinaldo himself has gone.
They also believe that a considerable num-
Der of the insurgent force is scattered in
small bands within our lines as amigos.
Generals Otis and Schwan think that within
twenty-four hours we will control the Ma
nila-Dagupan valley. The occupation of this
territory is now more of a mechanical than
a military problem. There may possibly be
some desultory fighting. General Otis says
the railroad repairs will be rushed. New
rails will be laid and the bridges raised.
The railroad will be operated throughout in
a short time.
The general opinion here is that we have
gained a tremendous advantage over the
insurgents. Satisfaction is expressed every
where. Commercial men hope the valley
will be quickly and permanently garrisoned,
tected. II is impossible to say how large
a force Aguinaldo has been able to hold to-
gether. or whether, after the loss of the
railroad. people in the north will still sup
port him..
This whole movement has shown the
advantage OF cavalry for expeditions op-
e~rations in the Philippines. The fall cam
paign has been remarkably vigorous. Trans
portation is still Inadequate. With the
mules that are coming, the movement OF the
troops will be much facilitated. The roads
OF the season have probably fallen. Ii is
believed here that Aguinaldo's retreat TO
the north in no way affects the confronting
insurgent force south Of Manila"

In V OF POOLING.
Vice President of the Santa Fee Testi-
fes Before n Commission.

CHICAGO, Nov. PA strong argument in
favor OF legalized pooling was made before
the subcommittee of the Industrial Com
mission to-day by Paul Morton, second vice
president of the Santa Fe Railroad. He
said it would protect small shippers and
small towns to an extent that is not possible
under the present methods. Mr.. Morton ex-
pressed his ~disapproval of government
ownership of railroads, complaining that
this would bring about higher rates and in
ferior service.
The latter part of the session was occu-
pied with an investigation into the charge
that the railroads blacklisted all employees
who participated in the strike Of 1894, and
for other infringements. of their rules.
William J. Strong, an attorney, appeared
before the subcommission and gave his tes-
timony regarding work he had done in these
eases.

Gen. Otfs's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-General Otis to-
day cabled the War Department as follows:

vance north to Baoang, rear San Fernando.

The next move of Importance is to be
made by General Wheaton,, who will go up
the coast by transport to Vigan, at the
mouth of Abea river. This will land his
forces far to the north of where Aguinaldo
is supposed to be, the intention being to cut
off his retreat to the north. From the mill
tary information bureau it is learned that
east of the route Aguinaldo is taking are
mountains inhabited by tribes which are
not friendly TO Aguinaldo and will be likely
to attack him if he attempted to cross their
territory. The country along the coast is
quite we'll settled. There are several little
rivers making harbors from which it is
feared AguinaldO may escape by boat. Gen.
Young it is believed is watching these
smaller ports with a part of his force.
