ANOTHER Town TAKEN
San Mateo Captured After q Sharp
Skirmish With the Forces
Of Aguinaldo.
Americans Lose Three Killed and
Number of Wounded
Travel Difficult.
Information From Sulu Islands In.
dicates Friendly Disposition
Among the Natives.

Manila, Aug. IA reconnaissance Sat-
urday by troops of General Samuel B.
M. Young's brigade with the object Of
discovering the whereabouts Of the
enemy near San Mateo, northeast Of the
San Juan reservoir, about ten miles
of San Mateo.
The American loss was three killed
and thirteen wounded, including lieu
tenant of the Twenty infantry.
The Americans approached San
Mateo in three columns. Major Cronin
with detachment of the Twenty hfth
infantry advanced from Novaliches,
five miles west of San Mateo. Captain
Rivers, with 100 men of the Fourth cav
airy, and Captain Parker, formerly
lieutenant colonel of the Twelfth New
York volunteer regiment, with $50 men
of the Twenty first and Twenty fourth
infantry and the Fourth cavalry, ap-
preached in two columns from the
south.
Maj Crontn experienced many diff
ffculties arising from the condition of
the country and failed to effect juno
ture with Capt. Rivers west of San
Mateo as had been planned.
Capt Rivers, advancing, took an out
post of the enemy two miles southwest
of San Mateo. He encountered strong
resistance among the hills the enemy
firing from excellent positions. Having
failed to connect with Maj. Cronin and
seeing that the town was already oc-
cupied by the Americans Capt. Rivers
withdrew, covering his withdrawal by
a heavy volley. He lost a sergeant
killed.
Capt Parker, on advancing, found
\ the enemy strongly entrenched on the
+ far side of some rice fields about a mile
wide and covered with deep mud. Push
ling forward rapidly he routed the Fill
ipinos after forty minutes fighting. and
then continued the march upon San
! Mateo. which he entered without SER
iious resistance about 1870 in the after
noon.
Maj Cronin entered the town about
4.30. The Americans still occupy the
place. Our men We're exhausted by the
heavy marching. Twenty-three of the
enemy are known to have been killed
This is the first action in Which Col.
lBurt's coiored troops participated. They
behaved well, their leaders having diff
fculty in holding them back.
! Gen. Young accompanied Capt. Par
kers column and was under fire
I throughout the engagement. 1t is esti-
mated that the enemy numbered be-
tween 800 and 400 men.

SWEDE MURPHY.

With astounding ignorance the Helena
Independent asks who Swede Murphy is?
a man whose name has travelled across
the continent Gin the columns of the Ana
conda Standard sent to it's Washington
correspondent yet is unknown to the
corn-husker who edits the Independent!
We are surprised. Isn't Swede Murphy
the man who sat upon the platform when

by caused a write-up of the speech in the
Standard? Isn't he the man who gives
the political end of the aforesaid Stand

back when a campaign is on?
And yet the Independent doesn't know

Swede Murphy is, and yet talks glibly
and at times coherently about other his
torical.~ characters In a sort of hazy way
the Independent wants to know IL he is
something like Matt Quay or Dick Croker
running at large, having noted the shock
given the Standards cerebral department
when it was discovered that he had
landed in Helena. Naturally, it arouses
suspicion to hear of a Swede with an
Irish name so suggestive of potatoes; and
when the Standard spends $3.50 to an
nounce that he is over in Helena on g
visit, the Independent a a board OF
inquiry of itself to ascertain the cause
Yet after all if the Helena organ haC
gone about it quietly, instead of publicly
asking for an explanation, it would have
found out that the portable deliriun

ILOILOAN TROUBLE.

The Inter Mountains dispatches today
indicate an approaching crisis at Iloilo.
Gen. Miller has been ordered to Ian his
troops with instructions to be as con-
ciliatory as possible, but to use force If
necessary to %subjugate the natives. He
will not fire on the natives unless COM
PEELED to do SO in self-defense. A battle
is imminent and if fought will open up
the Filipino question in it's fullness.
Aguinaldo has placed himself at the head
of the natives at that point and will en-
deavor to effect a confederation among
the islanders for offensive and defensive
purposes.
notwithstanding the ability Of the ma
tives to conduct a guerilla warfare they
will soon have to succumb to the inevita-
BILE, pretty much. as the American Indians
did. The march of civilization overrides
whenever the two come in con-
tact. 1t was true on the American from
tiers. from the time the Puritan blunder-
buses were trained on the red Indians
of Massachusetts to the needle guns of
Wounded Knee. 1t was ever thus. Nor
alists may speculate on the ethical side
of the question until the crack of doom,
the momentum of civilization cannot be
stopped. 1.
Touching on the Philippine question a
short time since, Julian Hawthorne gave
expressions to views pertinent to the stu
alton, and which may prove Of interest
at this time, when we are brought. face
to face with the practical side of the

Spect: but we do say that SaVageS and
barbarians are unable to judge what is
best for them, and that it is the duty of
civilized people to give them what is best
for them, whether, at first, they like it or
not. They will like it when they know
enough to know what it is; BECAUSE 9TH
erwise, civilization would be a mistake
and progress a delusion.
1T is time we cut loose from the apron
strings of Jefferson, Washington and the
rest of that giant conclave. AS individ-
uals of character and intellect they will
always be lofty and reverend, but as
guides of a time a hundred years beyond
them they are inadequate. AS to Mr..
Bryan's references to Blaine and others,
one can hardly take them seriously.
Blaine was a politician. In order to car
~ : political point he would quote from
the constitution or anything else that
came handy INC sounded plausible; but
he would evade the constitution, when ex-
pediency SO required, without a qualm.
In other words, he was not ruled by ira
dition, but he planted himself on tradl-
ton when it came his way.
The real dilemma is, what to 60 with
the Philippines if we don't hold them? No
one has given US the solution. We have
delivered them from the tyranny of
Spain; but they are still subjected to a
tyranny quite as destructive-the tyranny
of their own ignorance and unrestrained
propensities. They are not a hOmo-gen-
enous nor harmonious body: they will fly
at one another's throats as soon as they
are left to themselves. Mr.. Bryan says
the right by conquest is no right, but
there is no question here of our conquer
ing the Filipinos. 1t is the Spaniards that
we have conquered, and as a consequence
we have the Filipinos on our hands. We
have made ourselves responsible for their
welfare. and it needs no constitution to
tell us hat we ought to discharge that
: responsibility. And it is putting the con-
stitution to an i'll use to make it seem to
warrant us in Sinking our duty in the
premises.
That was a fine saying of Mr.. Bryan's,
that it is better to haul down the Ameri-
can flag than to keep it flying over what
dishonors US. No doubt it would be pos
sible so to administer the Philippines as
to max them a %reproach to us. as they
have ever been to Spain-who began by
stealing them from the Portuguese. Nc
doubt there is a mighty and sacred OBJ
legation on us to treat these barbarians
and savages honestly, unselishly, with
the steady purpose to improve and en-
Tighten them. That is a matter of course
VIII Mr.. Bryan say that our flag would
be dishonored by such a scene It seems
to me that such a saying as Mr.. Bryan's
might apply to scenes to be witnessed or
this continent, in Washington and else
where. But it has no application to the
future of the Philippines. Some ardent
reformer might be justified in hauling
down the stars and stripes from the CAPT.
