New York: The decline, in the stock
market following the publication of the
weekly statement of avera ges of the New
York associated banks on Saturday re-
fected the supersensitiveness of the aver
age Vail street operator to the immediate
technical bank showing, to which refer
umn. OF more lasting Importance to the
stock speculation will be the result of the
vote to be taken with regard to the rati-
fication of the treaty with Spain, fixed for
o'clock today. Advices from Washing
ton to the prospect of ratification are
very conflicting, and some doubt VIII lin
ger in the minds of operators until the
actual vote is recorded. Frequent reac-
tions which took place last. week, and es-
pecia1ly the sharp break about midday
on Friday, have, it is agreed taken a
great deal of congestion out of specula-
ton. It is rare to find an intelligent OBJ
server a bear on the stock market because
of doubt to the natural conditions The
principal argument advanced by those
who believe that prices will decline is that
there are so many influential bulls who
have taken profits that they will work to
what they have sold This theory fails
to take account of the constant growth
of capital now going on in the United
States.

STRONG RE1NFoRcEMENTs
For Both Army and Navy at Manila
Are Contaminated.

New York, Feb. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Serious consideration has been given
by the president today to the advisable
ity of strongly reinforcing the land and
naval forces at Manila.
The battleship Oregon, accompanied
by the collier Scindia and diStilling ship
Iris, is about due at Honolulu and after
coaling she will continue on her voyage
to Manila. The battleship Iowa and the
collier Justin are at Magdalena bay, on
their way to Mare Island navy YARD,
where the machinery of the battleshiD
will be repaired as rapidly as possible
and she will proceed to Honolulu. At
that point she will be available for ser
vice on the Asiatfc station and will, it
is now expected, be directed to join
Rear Admiral Dewey's command. Re-
inforced by these two vessels, Rear Ad-
niral Dewey will have squadron vast
ly superior to that of Germany and only
a little below in strength to that of
Great Britain in eastern waters.
Any regiments sent will be those of
the regular army. and the Sixth in
fantry, stationed at Fit. Sam Houston,
has been spoken of as one of the regi-
mentS likely to go should more troops
be needed by Gen. Otis. There are eight
other regular infantry regiments in the
United States available for service in
the PhilippineS-the Seventh, which is
divided among FITS. Wayne and Shell
ing, Camp Thomas and Jefferson bar
racks; Ninth infantry, stationed at
Madison barracks, N. Y; Twelfth in
fantry, at jefferson barracks, Mo, and
F't. Riley, Kan; Thirteenth infantry at
FITS Porter, Niagara and Colum bus;
Sixteenth infantry, at Huntsville, Ala,
Ft. Crook. Neb., and Jefferson bar
racks; Twenty-first infantry, P1atts-
burg barracks, N. Y; Twenty-fourth
infantry, FITS. Douglass, Utah, and D.
A Russell, Wyo-, and Twenty fifth in
fantry, which is distributed at points
in Arizona New Mexico and Colorado.

AWAY FROM TOWN.
a Candidate for Mayor Giving His
Friends Concern.

Frank Brooks has been gone for
week and his family and friends are
alarmed about him.
Dave Mulvane today telegraphed to
Rossville for information concerning
Mr.. Brooks whereabouts but had re-
ceived no reply this afternoon. His po-
Iitical friends have been anxiously
awaiting his return for nearly a week.
1t was understood that he had gone to
Rossville but it was supposed that he
would return to look after his campaign
not later than Saturday.
Mrs. Brooks became alarmed when he
did not return and the friends of her
husband are now doing what they can
to find him.
He will doubtless turn up shortly. He
is out of business in Topeka at present,
having sold his feed store. 1t is under
stood that he has business interests in
neighboring towns and is doubtless
looking after them.

DEWEY Is ON DECK.
Told Insurgents if They Took Manila
He Would Batter It Down.

Hong Kong, Feb 6.-The following
dispatch was received here from Ma
Mia before the outbreak there occurred:
Rear Admiral Dewey in an interview,
said the Monadnock is guarding one
end of the city, the Monterey and the
army protects the rear. He added that
he had sent word to Aguinaldo that if,
accidentally, the insurgents entered
Manila, he would reduce it to mortar
and stone.
The insurgents are an armed mob, the
dispatch adds, incapable of government
and are angry with Admiral Dewey for
seizing vessels flying Filipino flags. The
admiral, the correspondent says is not
favorable to annexat ton, but he believes
in the gradual withdrawal of the Uni
ted States troops. He also says the
United States is morally bound to es-

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE
The Firing Extended a Distance of IL
Miles.

Manila, Feb. 6.-Owing to the area
embraced in the scene of Sundays en-
gagement, a semi-circle of fully II miles
details regarding fighting have been
extremely difficult to obtain.
So far as can be gathered the brush
commenced at S:45 on Saturday even
ing, by the firing of a Nebraska sentry
at Santa Mesa, upon Filipinos who were
deliberately crossing the line, after re-
peated warnings, with the evident pur-
pose of drawing our fire. The first shot
from theAmerican sentry was evidently
accepted as a pre-arranged signal for
it was followed almost Immediately by
q terrific fusillade along the entire Fill
pino line on the north side of the Pasig
river.
The American outposts returned the
fire with such vigor that the Filipino
fire was checked until the arrival of
reinfOrcementS
ried out and the Filipinos ceased firing
for half an hour while their own rein
forcementS came up.
At 10 O'Clock the firing was resumed,
the American firing line consisting of
the Third artillery, the Kansas and
Montana regiments, the Minnesota reg
1ment the Pennsylvania, the Nebras-
kans. the Utah battery the Idahos the
Washingtons, the Californians. the
Fourth cavalry, North Dakotas, Sixth
artillery and Fourteenth infantry
The F1l1pinos concentrated their for
ces at three points, Calcanan, Santa
Mesa and Galingalan and maintained
an intermittent fusillade for some hours
They brought artillery into action at
Galingalan at 1920 but only one gun
annoyed the Americans to any appreci-
able extent.
Enemy's Battery SiIenced.
The third artillery silenced the
Ga1lngaIan battery by firnig two guns
simultaneously, which was followed i'm
mediately by Volleys from the infantry
At about midnight there was a llilI
IN the hr1ng lasting until about 3:45
a. m, when the whole Filipino line re-
opened fire. The Americans poured a
terrific fire into the darkness for tUen-
ty minutes and then there was another
1ull until daylight when the Americans
generally advanced
During the night in response TO Ad-
Knfral Dewey's signals flashed across
from Cavite. the United States cruiser
charleston and gunboat Concord at
Malabon, poured a deadly fire from
their secondary batteries into the Fill
pino trenches at Ca1ocan.
After daylight the United States

the other vessels shel1ed the right flank

By l o'clock the Americans had an

and had taken the Villages of PalaWnongs

CRUSH THE FILIPINos.
Otis Ordered to Follow Up His Vic
tOrY.

Chicago, Feb "a special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Instructions will be sent to Major Cen
eral Otis directing him to follow up his
victory over the insurgents and to
crush the power of Aguinaldo in the
Philippines.
This was the decision reached at an
important cabinet meeting held in the
White House last night, attended by
the President, Secretary Hay, Secretary
Alger and General Griggs and Adjutant
General Corbin.
1t was further decided now that
Aguinaldo has thrown down the gaupt-
let that Iloilo shall be taken and the is
lands of the archipelago occupied as
rapidly and to the extent that General
Otis forces will permit.

1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that alfalfa is very profitable in fatten-
ing cattle, and it necessarily follows
that land where alfalfa and corn can
be profitably raised will become es-
pecially valuable. Both Of these crops
are especially adapted to Jewell county
soil, therefore land in this locality is
certain to make a great advance in price
within the next few years. 1t need not
be feared that the market for alfalfa
will be glutted for the reason that the
area where it can be grown without ir-
rigation is very limited. East of Kan
sas the clay subsoil is an unsurmounta-
BILE barrier to it's production, while in
the west lack of moisture prevents its
growth without irrigation. Jewell

To Make Pharmacists Without Com

The special pharmacists bill came up
in committee of the whole this after
noon. The public health committee pre-

Mr.. Moore of Marshall thought they
might as well have included everyone
who applied, and he moved to strike out
the enacting clause. The committee
vouched for every name it presented
and Mr.. Moore finally withdrew his mo-
ton after considerable debate, and the
bill was recommended for passage.

More Fighting Looked For.

Manila, Feb 6.-The Fi1ipinos nave
apparently reached the conclusion that
the Americans mean business, now that
the barriers are removed, as there were
no further hostilities last night and
no attempt was made to recover the
lost ground. 1t is possible, however
that they are following the tactics they
employed against the Spaniards and
will merely lie off a few days to recup-
crate their forces before returning to
the attack
1t is impossible to ascertain as yet
how the news has been received at
Malolos, the seat of the insurgent gov
eminent, but the Filipinos in Manila ex-
press the opinion that the movement
for independence has received its death
blow and that annexation will soon be

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 6-Co1one1
William C. Smith, commanding the
First Tennessee volunteers, reported to
have died yesterday from apoplexy at
Manila, was a native of Virginia and
served with distinction in the confed-
crate army in a Virginia regiment. He
was about so years of age and leaves
q wife and several children who are
now with relatives in Virginia. Colonel
Smith was an architect of note and
many important structures in this city
were constructed by him, including the
Parthenon at the Centennial exposition.
He had always taken a lively interest
an the building up of the state guard.
The SOlace Held Back.
Chicago. Feb. "a special to the
Record from Norfolk, says:
The United States transport Solace,
which was to have sailed for Manila to-
day at noon, did not get away from
Hampton Roads. Just why she was
held is not definitely known, but it is
believed by navy officers that the de-
velopments in the Philippines since her
original orders were issued have
prompted the navy department to hold
the ship here until additional supplies
are received for transportation to Ma
Mia.

Waiting to Hear From Otis

Washington, Feb. e.-No fresh dis
patch has been received from Gen. Otis.
He has promised the department a cas-
1alty list from Manila as soon as it can
be made up and this is awaited with
interest. The Dewey dispatch received
this morning stated that two men had
been seriously injured on the Monad-
mock, raising the total list of wounded
for the navy to the insignificant number
of eleven for the entire war in the far
east. The dispatch is taken by the Of
ficials to indicate continuation of the
first days fighting at Manila. or else a
renewal of the attack, as DeWey's first
dispatch stated that there were no cas-
ualties in the navy.
Two Opinions
Washington, Feb. 6.-Army officers
believe Dewey's dispatch received today
a belated cablegram, while naval of
ftcers believe just the opposite, that it
refers to a second engagement.
