TWO BRUSHES WITH REBELS
American Sergeant, with Less Than
Forty Men, Attack Four Hum
dred Insurgents.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The War de-
partment received a cable message today
giving the latest developments in the situ-
alton in the Philippines. The cablegram:
"MANILA. Dec. Is. --Batchelor, Twenty
fourth infantry battalion, reports on 7th
inst, had an engagement at the junction Of
Magat and Rio Grande rivers, Isabella prov
ince, enemy leaving four dead and five
mortally wounded in trenches. Our loss was
one drowned and four wounded. Says he is
in need of clothing, provisions and money.
VIII reach Tuguegaro, Cagayan province,
shortly. Doubtless the navy relieved him
yesterday.
-Four hundred and seventy-fve Spanish
prisoners arrived this morning, among them
the sick at Vigan, numbering 100. Young
at Banqui, northwestern Luzon, reports that
his troops are still pursuing the remnant
of the insurgents, who have twenty-three
American prisoners in their possession.
The country is exceedingly rough. Our
men, without shoes, are still persistently
pursuing. Few Spanish prisoners now in
hands of insurgents, probably 1000, mostly
in south Expect to effect their relief in a
few days.
"Negros reports Sergeant Alfred Roeder,
Sixth infantry, twenty soldiers and eighteen
native police attacked 400 insurgents at

OUTLINING MOLINEUX DEFENSE
Attorney Weeks Attempts to Intro
duce the Name of j. Morton Riggs
in Experts Testimony.

NEW YORK, Dec 15.-When the trial of
Roland B. Molineux was adjourned today
until Monday William ]. Kinsley, the hand
writing expert, was still on the witness
stand, undergoing q severe re-cross- examina-
tion at the hands of Mr.. Weeks, the attorney
for the defense. 1t is expected that the
work of cross examining Expert Kinsley
will not be completed before Tuesday even
ing next.
Perhaps the most important point, GER
tanly the most interesting point insofar as
it is supposed to outline the possible policy
of the defense, was the attempt today of Mr.
Weeks to introduce the name of ]. Morton
Riggs, a name not heretofore mentioned dur
ing the present trial.
Mr.. Weeks handed Expert Kinsley a small
slip of paper and inquired:
Does not that purport to be the signature
of j. Morton Riggs?"
To this Mr.. Osborne objected and the OBJ
lection was sustained, but after long argu-
ments Recorder Goff ruled that the paper
could be marked for identification.
Riggs is said to be at Hong Kong. or at
least was there a few weeks ago, having
been discharged from the navy at that post.

ATTACKS DISGUST THE KAISER
Emperor william Withdraws German
Military Attacbe AT Paris-Drey-
fus Affair the Cause.

BERLIN, Dec, 15.-Emperor Williams in
tention to withdraw Baron von Sueskinne,
German military attache in Paris as cabled
some time ago, has just been carried out. The
event is considered of prime Importance.
His majesty had become thoroughly dis
gusted with the attacks and insinuations of
the Paris press regarding the activity of the
German military attaches and with the nu-
merous private and official reports which had
reached him on the subject, bearing out, par
TALLY at least, the newspaper charges.
His keen sense of honor was aroused.
especially as he considers that German Of
ficers. who are popularly regarded by their
countrymen as above reproach in military
matters, ought not TO be expected TO furnish
to the home government information incon-
sistent with a nice sense of honor
This view the emperor wants practically
borne out. He met with a determined op-
position on the part of some of his principal
military adyirers. General Won Hanke,
Count Won Schlesfen and Count Won Walder-
see but succeeded in having his own way.
1t goes without saying that the Dreyfus af
fair was the immediate cause OF the order
of withdrawal.
A high government official did not deny
this when questioned. The correspondent of
the Associated Press also understands that
the duties OF all German military attaches
are likely TO be modified and brought more
In eonsOnance with modern days of gem
tlemanly honor, the emperor hoping more
over, that the example given by Germany
will be initiated by other powers, especially

PRINCE OF WALES SCANDAL
Biography of Lnte Archbishop of Cam
terbury Reveals Interesting Let
ter Written by the Prince.

LONDON, Dec. 15-The biography of DR..
Benson, late archbishop of Canterbury, just
published, reveals an interesting letter which
the prince of Wales wrote to him after the
Tranbycroft scandal. 1T is as follows:
My Dear Archbishop: Your kind letter
has touched me. as l know the kind feel
ings which prompted you to write to me on
the subject, which we have discussed to-
gether and which, as you are aware, has
caused me deep pain and annoyance. A
recent trial, which no one deplores moro
than / do and which | was Dowerless 10
prevent, gave occasion for the press 10
make most bitter and unjust attacks on
me, knowing ] was defenseless, and | am
not sure politics were not mixed up in Il.
The whole matter has now dled and | think
therefore that 1t will be inopportqne for
me in any public manner to allude again
to the painful subject which has brought
such a torrent of abuse on me, not only by
the press, but by the low church and
especially the nonConformists
They have a perfect right | am well
aware, in a free country like our own to
express their opinions. but l do not con-
slider that they have just right to jump
at conclusions regarding myself without
knowing the facts. | have "A horror of
gambling and should always do my utmost
to discourage others who have an inclina-
tion for it, as | consider that gambling,
like intemperance, is one of the greatest
curses which any country could be af-
fiicted with Horse racing may produce
gambling or II may not but / have always
looked upon it as a manly sport which Is
popular with Englishmen of all classes and
there is no reason why it should be looked
upon as a gambling transaction. Alas!
those who gamble will gamble at any
thing. ] have written quite openly to you
my dear archbishop. whom | have had the
advantage of knowing so many years. Be

WILL GIVE WOOD AN OVATION
Society of Cuban Veterans and Other
Organizations to Well
come Him.

HAVANA, Dec. 15.--The Cubanito today
expresses great satisfaction at the approach
ing change in the Cuban side of the admin
stration, stating that the change is salts
factory on account of the character of Gen
eral Wood, from whom good government is
expected.
Much curiosity is expressed at the signifi-
cance of the change, most people inclining
to the view that General Wood is considered
in Washington the best man for the place
1t is not expected there Will be any sub
stantial change of policy. The Society of
Veterans and other organizations are pre-
pairing a great ovation for General Wood
on his arrival. His pronounced friendly
feeling for the Cubans, as well as his record
at Santiago, appeals strongly to popular
favor.
The bishop of Havana has agreed to waive
all cemetery charges in connection with the
Colon cemetery in the case of the victims
of the Maine disaster. Chaplain Chadwick
is indignant at a charge made by local
paper that the department demands 81 for
a permit to remove each body. This state
is absolutely false and the bishop is lending
all assistance in the undertaking.
At today's meeting of the Havana conven-
ton of delegates of the Cuban league and
national party it was decided to send pc
tition to Washington requesting that the
mayors of municipalities be elected by the
direct vote of the people and that their
election should not need to be confirmed by
any higher authority.
Colonel Bacallao, chief of the secret po-
lice, has discovered that some of the de-
tectives are in the pay of Havana merchants
and allow the latter to aduterate their
goods. He has discharged thirteen members
of the force for this reason.
Former Lieutenant of Police Cassin, at
one time a bugler in the Rough Riders, who
has been on trial for killing Cuban major
has been sentenced to imprisonment for two
years and four months and to pay the heirs
of Martinez 81 900. Cassin has already been
nearly year in prison and this time will be
deducted from the sentence.

PAYNE ABANDoNs HIS RESOLUTION.
wisconsin Man Decides Not TO Push
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PInn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The Payne reso>
luton for the reapportionment of delegates
to the national republican convention on the
basis of the republican vote cast in the
states and territories will not be pressed at
this meeting of the national committee.
Up to tonight Mr.. Payne, the author, had
fully intended to offer the resolution tomor-
row and to urge It's adoption, but after a
conference with the president at the White
House tonight, at which Secretary Dick and
Governor Nash of Ohio were present,
he decided to abandon the effort to have il
acted on at this meeting. Much opposition
had developed 10 the proposed change and
the conclusion reached that It was inexpe-
dent to push the matter at this time.
Mr.. Payne will make statement before
the committee in the morning setting forth
the reasons which prompted him to reach
the decision stated.

vention in Philadelphia Every republican
president who has been reelected has been
renominated in the east. Harrison was re-
nominated at Minneapolis and was defeated;
Lincoln was renominated at Baltimore and
was elected: Grant was renominated at Phil
adelphia and was elected. On the democratic
side Cleveland was renomnated at st. Louis
and was defeated.
Philadelphia won the convention through
the help Of the southt, St Louis and New
York, with votes here and there from the
west to give It majority. Chicago rooters
after their defeat. took the matter philo-
sophically and said that although they were
gold bricked" Illinois would be for the re-
publican ticket with a bigger majority than
in 1896.

TO GO HARD WITH BUsHwHACr<Ens.
Philippine Officers Hereafter. VIII
DenI SummnriIy with Thcm.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Isolated bands
of bushwhacking insurgents who are caught
by our forces in the Philippines are likely
to be summarily dealt with At the cabinet
meeting today the matter was discussed at
some length and it was the general senti-
ment that the situation demanded vigorous
treatment. AS long as the insurgents keep
up a show of an army under semblance OF
discipline they will be treated as prisoners
of war when captured, but when they degen-
crate into isolated bands of marauders,
harassing our forces by cold -blooded assas-
sinations, it is the judgment Of the officers
in command in the Philippines and of the
president and the members of the cabinet
that the situation demands summary action.
In the discussion of Cuban affairs it was
developed that General Wood in taking COM
mand of the island as. military governor
would pursue practically the same course
that he followed in Santiago province. Cap
able and trustworthy citizens from time to
time will be given positions of responsibility
and so gradually become identified with the
civil administration of the island. The rigor
of military rule will be lessened as rapidly
as the situation safely warrants.
