VALLEJO. Nov. 5.-From present indi-
cations the former good relations exist
ing between the Government on the one
hand and the employees of the United
States navy yard at Mare Island on the
other are destined to be strained to a
grave degree in the near future.
Friday at noon fifty-one shipSrghts re-
quested from the naval constructor in
charge of the construction and repair de-
discharge The latter course was taken.
On Friday two more did likewise. This
action Is the result of the decision of the
Board of Wages last July recommending
of shipwright's pay from 81 so to 81 "a per
day. In the good old days" on Mare
Island these men received IS 04 per day.
Naval Is eSaeESgu constrEctor % Frank W. Hibbs s
member Of the Board of Wages, is di-
rectly responsible for this reduction of
wages and fathered it first and last. This
has made him very unpopular among the
men, and vengeance is threatened on all
sides. Advertisements have appeared in
the San Francisco papers calling for ship
kilograms have been sent to Portland
and the Northwest for shipwrights with
little hope of success.
The United States steamship Hartford
lies in the large stone dock with huge
openings in her sides, awaiting the handi-
work of the shipwright, while telegraphic
orders lie on the desk of the captain s
cabin for the Hartford to leave Mare ISL
and with the least possible delay.
And this is not all. There are whisper
ings in town tonight that other trades
men sympathizng with the shipwrights
and smarting under the sting of previous
reductions of wages and tyrannical treat
ment will quietly request a resumption
of previous pay or request their discharge
ticket This would no doubt include the
spar makers, ship jciners and boat build
erS.
The large force of men employed in the
yard since the Spanish war is rapidly be-
inP reduced until now it numbers about

charged from the construction and repair

of Angeles. Colonel Smith, with two bat
talions of the Seventh Infantry, two guns

neers, advanced from Angeles. Major

teenth Infantry and two troops of the
Fourth Cavalry, moved from Calulut.
Colonel Smith killed eleven insurgents.
wounded 12S and captured fifty, as well
as taking lot of insurgent transporta-
ton.
Major O'Brien killed forty-nine insur-
gents, wounded many and took twenty
eight prisoners The Americans had
eleven men wounded.
General Wheaton will start in the
morning with the Thirteenth and Thirty
third regiments, with two 3-inch and two
Gatling guns, and will proceed on the
transports Sheridan, Aztec and Francisco
Reyes to port on the gulf OF Lingayen,
which is to the northwest of that part
of the country in which the principal ope-
rations are now being carried on. The
gunboat Helena will accompany this eX-
pedition. The Charleston is already in the
gulf and the Bennington may cooperate
in the movement.
After landing Wheaton's column will
move eastward toward the Caraballo
Mountains. In the meantime Lawton,
whose force is moving to the northwest,
will endeavor to connect with Wheaton
anu prevent the enemy s escape through
the Caraballo Mountains into the north
ern provinces.
Macarthur column will continue
steadily northward, clearing the country
between him and Lawton and Wheaton.
The insurgents are hurriedly digging in
trenchments along the twenty miles of
road from Aliaga to Tarlac, and also
along other roads leading to Tarlac
Heavy intrenchments have also been
| thrown up in front of Bambam, some
seventeen miles south of Tarlac on the
line of the Dagupan railway.

will thus be compelled to use rough, mar
row trails, which will necessitate much
splitting of their forces in order to effect
an escape
The most recent information shows that
ports that the rebels had abandoned that
place and were fleeing northward There
is a large insurgent hospital at Tayug.
Reports received by Otis show the in
