 During the afternoon the troops crossed the river.
 Generals MacArthus and Wheaton, with the Montana regiment, advanced to the left of the railroad, and the Kansas regiment moved forward to the right, north of Malolos. They had with them a long supply train with two armed cars in front, carry ing two Gatling and Colts rapid-fire guns, and the six-pounder which did such execution at the capture of Ma lolos.
 The insurgents attempted te destroy the railroad bridge outside of Calum- pit, and succeeded in badly warping the iron framework. As soon as the soldiers left the Filipino capital, the natives began floching in, as they did at Santa Cruz before the last boat of Gen. Lawton's expedition had sailed.

LEGISLATOR IGNORED.
Representative J. E. Wood Re oipient of Tokens of Esteem From His
 Admirers.

Hon. J. E. Wood representative in the house from Lee county, was highly hcnored by the business men of Little Rock and other sections of the state on the day of adjournment of the legisla- ture. At the meeting of representative business men held in Little Rock two weeks ago, MT Wood made a speech pledging his support of all measures for the upbuilding of the commercial interests of Arkansas. To show the esteem in which they held the gentle man, he was presented with a magnlf- cent gold d-headed cane, set with a dia- mond, by the business men of Little Rock. A delegation from Newport also presented MT Wood with magni. ficent cane, and third one was given him by citizens of Lee and adjoining counties. On the following day after Mir Wood delivered his speech before the business mems convention, reso- lutlon censuring him for his utterances was passed by the house, which was later, on motion of the gentleman offer ing 1t, stricken from the journal With out endorsing or disappearing the utterances of the gentleman from Lee, his remarks about the insurance clause in the antitrust law are given below for the benefit of the readers of this paper:
 "Gentlemen, I do not know that anything I might say will add to the interest of this gath ering As citizen of Arkansas, matehlcss in natural resources and advantages love her people. her hills and valleys, and prairies and forests it's beauty and its chivalry. l indeed would be recreant to the trust reposed In me as representative of an intelligent constitu- ency if cast a vote to drive capital from the state. The insurance companies have paid their fees to the state and filed their bonds for the current year, and now to drive them from the state Is to vtiate a contract
 If the legislature has been wrong 1t Is the part of wisdom to change. I for one dld not comprehend such drastic results, and did not know that 1t would create the confusion that 1t has It was only whispered while the bill was under consideration that 1t would affect the insurance companies and we little knew 1t would drive capital from the state and de- prive homes and business interests Of neces- sary protection. for one am willing to retract my vote, but 1 very much fear that what you do will fall upon deaf ears Nevertheless 1 wilJ uo all can to relieve the situation and have my bill In my pocket now if they will ever let me present 1t. But want to tell you the truth-it is your fault If you have not repre- [ sentatives here to represent your interests. l You sit calmly by and let the httle political trickster5 elect statesmen in embryo. and send 1 them to the legislative halls to make your laws, If you do not take more interest in such affairs the state Of Arkansas will go to the | devil. If you want to keep such bills as this l from the statutes you must send broad-uuaped i men here-not men Who simply vote aye or nc ] when their names are called l mean no criti- cism Of any one, but God knows the cap fits 1 someWheran

Another Opinion.

Attorney-General Jeff Davis has been kept busy the past few weeks rendering decisions on new laws and answering questions put to him by officers and citizens on matters of more or less inn portance, The other day the assessor of Clark county addressed letter to the attorney general, inquiring whether life insurance policies with cash sur render value should be assessed The answer follows:
 Tn reply to this statement beg to state that what was known as the Collins insurance bill sought to declare that to be the law but the same was defeated l nevertheless contend that under our constitution policies which have cash surrender value are certainly tax able, and shall contend this to be the law, if case Of that kind should arise
 P. S.-I advise you to list all such policies for taxation, as there is no doubt in my mind that they are taxable"

SUSPECTED STRANGLER.
Harry Wilson, Under Arrest at San EranciscO, is Suspected of Sew
 eraI strnnGIinE Affairs.

San Francisco, April 25.-Harry Will for. the mulatto whom the police have arrested on suspicion of being the man who several years ago strangled n number of women in this city and T,nyer, was responsible for several Caring robberies, nearly all commit- ted in the tenderloin district.
 While the policemen were securing tEe city for Wilson, who recently robbed a Mrs. Griffin and several oth- CT women, he visited the house of Mrs. Leonard, on Ellis street, and pretended to he smitten with her charms. While they were in q room on the upper floor N ilson seized his unsuspecting victim by the throat, and after almost stran- to the floor. He then entered other private apartments and stole S400. For this he may be held on a charge of assault to murder. While con vlnced that he is the much wanted etrangler, the police say it will be diff ticult, if not impossible, to convict him of the crimes committed so long ago. Wilson claims that he is gam bier. and admits having been in Den yer when several women were foully murdered He ridicules the suspicion that he is the strangler, and claims to b. able to prove his innocence when il is necessary. He also diselaims any conenction with the murders of wom- en in this city,

Prisoner Shot to Death by Mob.

Will Hardin, whose death sentence for the murder of Hugh Patterson in Van Buren county December IS, 1897, was last week commuted by the gov ernor to 21 years in the penitentiary, was taken from jail at Clinton by mob and shot to death. The attorney who prosecuted the case gives the following particulars of Hardin's trial: Hardin and Lee Mills were indicted for the murder of Hugh Patterson. Soon after their arrest Hardin made full con fession. Mills was placed on trial and convicted, Hardin testifying against hlm, and he was hanged. Six months later Hardin was tried, convicted and the death penalty assessed. On appeal to the supreme court he was granted a new trial. It resulted as did the first one, and instead of taking a second ap- peal to the supreme court, his attorneys laid the case before the governor, who commuted his sentence to 21 years in the penitentiary.

 ship asked and received permission of Capt. Wilde of the Boston to respond. At this time, according to naval ad vices. Gen. Miller'S army transports were far out in the roadstead. Without communicating with Gen Miller the two warships opened on the shore bat teries and soon silenced them. Lieut. Niblack, of the Boston, landed with a battalion of marines and sailors and took possession of the town. They captured the insurgent flags on the governors house and on the batteries, and turned the city over to Gen. Mill Ter on his arrival, an hour or so later.

 They kept the captured flags, how ever, in spite of Gen. Miller's demand for them. This is the naval story of the battle of Iloilo.

Mill Ter to the war department and simply announced the surrender of that city to the American forces under his com mand without going into particulars.
