Island of Panay, of severe fight on
Wednesday at Bobong between Capt..
Byrne. of the Sixteenth infantry, with
70 men, and force of $50 Babaylones,
who surprised the American troops.
One hundred and fifteen of the enemy
were killed, as is shown by actual
count, many were wounded and one

loss was one man killed and one wound
ed. The fighting was mostly atFclose
quarters, with bayonets and dubbed

Retire to Mexico.
Manila, July 22.-The Filipinos have
withdrawn from their trenches in the
vicinity of San Fernando, retiring to
Mexico, ten miles to the northeast OF
San Fernando, leaving few troops on
outpost duty in front of the Ameri--

another dispatch giving additional par

of Negros. 1t shows that the victory of
the soldiers was greater than that re-
ported in Gen. Otis dispatch of July 21,-
and that the loss suffered by the rob-
bers was considerably larger than be-
fore stated. Much satisfaction is felt
by Gen. Otis over the results of this pre-
liminary effort in dealing with this dis
tnrbing element in the island, and he
| reports it already as having salutary
effect on other bands infesting the To-

.9 His Death.
Col. Ingersoll spent the morning
swinging in hammock and sitting on
the veranda with the members of the
family. He said he was better, and had
no pain. At 1880 he started to go up
stairs. On reaching the head of the
stairs, Col. Ingersoll turned into his
wife's room. Mrs. Ingersoll was there.
Together they discussed what they
would have for luncheon, and Col. In
gersoll said he had better not eat much
owing to the trouble with his stomach.
He seemed in good spirits then. After
talking for few minutes Col. Ingersoll
crossed the room and sat down in a
rocking chair. He leaned his head upon
his hand, which rested on the back of
the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him
how he was feeling, and he replied:
"Oh, better" These were his last
words. A second after they were ut
tered he was dead. The only sign no.
ticed by Mrs. Ingersoll was that the
whites of his eyes suddenly showed.
There was not even sigh or groan as
death came. Doctors were hastily
called, but their verdict was that death
had come instantly.
. Mrs. Ingersoii was the only person IN
the room with him when he died. Death
came to him as he had recently ex-
pressed desire it should. He often in
old times said he wished to die slowly,
with a full consciousness, so he might
tell those about him how it felt. Re
Gently he experienced change of de-
sire to die painlessly and without warns
ing.
