be impaired
The party pledges itself to secure free,
fair and honest elections; efficient econ
omical and honest state and municipal
administration and prevention of the
use of public money, legislation or pa

is expressed for the devotion to the

man James McGuffey, who has
through his cautious, wise and prudent
advice and eminent skill, energy
and courage, reunited our party; and
who without hope of reward has spent
his time and substance for the welfare
of our state for which our party should
hold him in grateful remembrance
The platform closes with reference
to the war in these words: I'VE glory
and rejoice in the patriotic devotion TO
the cause of our country in the late war
with Spain of the brave men who gave
their lives in order that conflict
wased for humanity's sake might be
brought to a speedy and triumphant
close"

through the Uttered streets all day
long. Services for % were held in the
little Catholic church, and from the
Congregational church the other fu-
nerals had been held by evening. There
is still a large number of unburied
dead and but for the fact that a large
number of collins failed to arrive to-

would have been close to so. The num-

portion of the place had been gone
over and nothing was found to indicate
that any more dead We're in the ruins.
Ten bodies still remain unidentified.

REBELS HAVE REITERATED.
The Americans Now Control Several
More Miles of Coast.


More Miles of Coast.
Manila, June 14.--4.40 D. m.--The Fill
pinos retreated several miles southward
after yesterdays engagement to the
strongly fortified town of linus. The
shelling of the American warships
drove the rebels from Bacoom. The
Americans control several more miles
of the coast. General Lawton. with his
staff and troop of the Fourth cav
airy, started to ascertain the nature of
the insurgents position. He rode five
miles along the coast to Bacoom wSth-
out discovering the enemy. He found
the town full Of white flags, but there
were no soldiers there. The women
and children, who had fled to the woods
during the bombardment, Were camp
ing in the ruins of their homes. The
shells had almost knocked the town to
pieces. The big church was wrecked
and many buildings We're ruined
Even the shrubbery was torn as if
by hail storm. Several hundred wo-
men and children came into the Ameri-
can lines for refuge and the road from
Bacoom was covered all day long with
professions on foot and in carts, driv-
ing animals and carrying goods on their
heads. The appearance of the battle
field testified to the fierceness of yester-
days fighting. The trees along the
river between the lines are almost torn
down by bullets. The American officers
estimate that 100 insurgents were killed
and that 300 We're wounded during the
engagement. The next battle will prob
ably be fought at linus. The American
troops will soon control the coast.
