Under Command of General
Lloyd Wheaton
Defeats Force of 1000 Filipi-
no Insurgents
WITH A HEAVY LOSS
To the Enemy and Slight Dam
age to His Own Troops.
$50 Prisoners Taken = Many
Bodies Float Down the River.

Manila March 15-4:45 o. n.-Genera1
Lloyd Wheaton commanding the United
States flying column attacked and de-
feated a force of 1000 Filipinos at Pasig
this afternoon, infilcting a heavy loss
upon them. The American loss was
slight. The Americans captured $50
Filipinos. Many bodies of insurgents
killed in the enga cement are floating
down the river.
The Washington volunteers have cap
tured and burned Pateros, meeting with
a sharp fire from the enemy while
crossing the river.
TOday's fighting at this point was
like that of the past week, the insur-
gents occasionally making a stand, but
eventually fleeing. Their loss is sup
posed to have been small as the Amer
leans were unable to see the enemy in
the thickets.
The progress of the American advance
is slow.
Late yesterday General Wheaton's
column encountered the enemy in such
force between PaterOS and Taguig as to
necessitate a change in the original
plans. The cavalry attacked a Filipino
stronghold in the jungle, driving the en-
emy into Pateros. The Americans had
one man killed and three wounded.
Scotts battery shelIed the city and
woods effectively.
Later the enemy crossed the river
from Pasig. Two companies of the Sec
Ond Oregon infantry cleared the right
bank after a sharp engagement and
then retired with three wounded.
In the meantime the Washington vol
unteers closed in, driving small bodies
of the insurgents back upon Pateros.
One man was killed.
During the night the enemy burned
the town of Pasig.

Quoted by a committee here in Topeka,
If one is appointed by the conference,
for they say they would then be able
to prove his general character by wit
neSSeS.
Another contention that will be made
by DR.. Embree'S friends at the confer
ence is that the taking of testimony
was irregular. The taking of deposit
tions before charges had been formally
filed before the conference, they claim,
was an unheard of method of procedure
and should not be sustained.
DR.. Embree's friends say that he will
not be forced into a trial if it can be
avoided, but if the conference refuses
to grant continuance the investigation
will go on and he will take his chances
on the result.
There is a woman in DR.. Embree's
case. Her name is Mrs. Stella NJ.
Brooks, and she is a member of the

DR.. Embree to Probably Retire
From the Ministry.

The trouble in the First Methodist
church over the Thorpe-Embree contro-
vesy eliminated in a meeting of the Of
ficers of the church last night. At the
meeting it was decided to send a COM
mittee to Hiawatha to ask that DR..
Thorpe be not sent back to the First
church.
One of the interested parties said: st
feel that it is not to the best interests
of the First church or DR.. Thorpe that
he should be returned. If L were a
friend of DR.. Thorpe 1 would say the
same thing, for in the light of recent
developments it is evident that it would
not be fair either to the church or to
DR.. Thorpe to have him returned as
pastor

The desire to keep the church intact
was responsible for the meeting, and it
was decided the best way to do this
would be to prevent the conference
from sending DR.. Thorpe back to To-
peka if possible The committee which

believed that if a new man is sent to
Topeka who has taken no part in the
controversy the breach may be healed.
1t has been rumored that it was part
of the plan to ask that DR.. Embree be
returned to the church, but this is not
true. The officers of the church want
some one who knows nothing of the
controversy, if it is possible to find such
a man.
The Topeka delegation to the Kansas
Methodist conference at HiaWatha left
this morning for that place. DR.. En-
bree was accompanied by his wife, who
will be with him during the investiga-
ton, if one is held.
Before he left Topeka DR.. EInbree
said he would ask the conference to ad-
journ the investigation to give him time
to prepare an answer to the charges.
The taking of dispositions was COM
menced on Thursday of last week and
continued through Monday of this week
and DR.. Embree did not know until the
taking of the dispositions was closed
with what he would be confronted in
the way of evidence. His friends claim
that one day was not time enough for
him to prepare to answer the charges
made in the evidence and that he will
therefore be at a disadvantage at the
conference.
The supporters of DR.. Embree would
prefer to have the investigation con-
