south of Manila Saturday

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE War De-
partment to-day received report from Ma
jor General Otis OF the military movement
yesterday to the south Of Manila for the
purpose OF clearing out the rebels in that
section 1t shows that the movement was a
great success and that the enemys loss was
considerably greater than stated in the
press dipatches. General Otis's cablegram
Is as follows:
The terrific heat yesterday did not per-
init the troops to reach their positions at
the hour designated. A ma iority of the in
surgents were thus enabled to escape in
scattered organizations south and west
ward. which they effected during the even
ing and night. The movement was a great
success, however, as the enemy was disor-
ganzed and routed, suffering heavy loss.
The troops rested to-day at Las Pinas and
Paranaque. The navy did excellent execu-
ton along the shore OF the bay, but many
tnsurgent detachments retired in that direc-
tion, protected by the presence of women
and children, whom they drove along with
them. Our loss was four killed and some
thirty wounded. Report of casualties later.

about four hundred"

THE " ATE2 QUESTION,

Ardmore has one OF the best
propositions for a system Of water
works that VIII ever be made her.
and the commercial club has sng-
gested simple and comparatively
inexpensive method Of accepting
the proposition.
They have two committees at
work on the matter, one to confer
with the council and the other with
the merchants. The latter com
mittee is meeting with some sue
cess, too, and if the council can be
brought to a favorable considera-
ton of the matter we may hope
soon to have a complete system of
waterworks.
The details of the proposition
have been published heretofore and
are in substance that a complete
system will be put in and the city
furnished with eighty five hydrants
for fire protection for the sum of
1000 a year.
The plan of the Commercial club
is for the merchants and business
men of the city to agree to pay the
rebate or excess of insurance rates.
