by Lieut.. Monroe and so men, of the
Fourth cavalry of the Filipino gem
eral Conon with 800 officers and men
with rifles, several American and 10
Spanish prisoners at Bayombong,

cessful bluff. Lieut. Monroe tapped the
rebel wire, telegraphed to Conon that
he was advancing with large force
and demanded his surrender. after ne
gotiations, Conon consented to capitu-
late to a superior force, whereupon
Lieut.. Monroe telegraphed that he
would enter the town with a small
guard and receive the garrisons sur

He captured the whole Filipino force
and secured their arms, the rebels sup

The allegation in the news columns of
the Evening Post last night that the
finances of the republican party in wor-

majority of the liquor dealers - in fact
that the republican strength is virtually
the license strength, caused considerable
amusement at republican headquarters

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
TO MEET MKlNLEY

WASHINGTON. Oct. N.-Arrangements
have been perfected by the State Depart
ment for a meeting Of the Philippine com
mission on either Monday or Tuesday in
Washington. A telegram received by Sec
retary Hay announces that Colonel DENLY
and Professor Worcester will reach this
city on Monday. Mr. Schurman, the pres
iCent of the commission, has been direct
ed to come and meet his colleagues and
Secretary Long has given orders TO Ad-
miral Dewey assigning him TO special
DUTY in connection with the commission.
The only absentee, therefore. will be Cen
eral Otis, who has confided his views 20
his associates and who doubtless Will be
frequently communicated with by cable.
1t is expected the President will see
Colonel DENLY and Professor Worcester
Immediately upon their arrival and learn
the condition OF affairs at the time of their
departure. OF course cable adVices have
been received. but they do not show that
any important change in the situation
has taken place since the departure OF
the two commissioners, with the execution
of the new military move made by Gen.
eral Otis. Therefore, the news that Colo
mel DENLY and Professor Worcester
brought viii be fresh and doubtless will
be useful in connection with the work of
the commission.
The commission will recommend the
character of government for the several
tribes in the archipelago and VIII report
eXhaustively upon the sociological, indus
trial and economic conditions prevailing
on the islands. The views Of the COM
mission will be useful 10 the President in
the preparation of his forthcoming mes
sage.
Admiral Dewey believes that the cam
paign which General Otis has begun north
OF Manila viii surely crush the lnSurrec-
ton. He and other officials are especially
pleased with the policy of establishing
garrisons. which General otis has begzZ
at San Isidro. AS understood by the vi
Department all important points ht
after occupied will be garrisoned and
country in the immediate neighboI
provided with permanent protecto1
that the natives can return undisf
to their usual avocations. The eXe
of such a policy Will, the officials
have an important effect upon III
pinos and Will aid in bringing thd

NO OFFERS MADE FOR
AGRICULTURAL PARK
Futurity Stake to Be Changed to a
Stallion Nomination Stake
Open to All.

SACRAMENTO, Oct PA meeting of
the directors of the State Board of Agri-
culture was held to-day, when state
ment Of the financial condition of affairs
was submitted. 1t showed a very pleas
ing result, owing to the great success of
the late State Fair. Bills amounting to
S11 900 were audited.
The committee on the sale of Agricul-
tural Park reported that ii had been un-
able to get a satisfactory bid for the
property, or TO get an offer to exchange
new site for the present one. The rec
ommendation was made that the old park
be useo until a satisfactory offer IS OBJ
tained, and the probabilities are that the
society will continue to use the present
park for some time to come.
The directors decided to change the
Futurity stake heretofore offered by the
society to a stallion nomination stake,
open to all stations. Nominations are to
be made before January l, 1900 The
produce Of mares bred in 1889 are eligible
and must be named before January /,
1901. The colts are to race as two-year-
olds at the fair in 1902. This is expected
to be one of the richest stakes ever run
in California, and a number of nomina-
tions by Eastern breeders will be made.
