Wardner, Idaho, May 6.--Four hun
drpd United States troops are on guard
In the Occur d'Alene mining district
and martial law is in full force in
Shosilone county, Idaho. While the
governors proclamation has not been
posted in a public place, citizens are
aware that martial law is in force by
reason of the fact that United States
troops are on the ground to see that. it
is carried out. Brig. Gen. H. G. Mer-
riam has arrived from Denver. He
has determined, IL possible, to- arrest
NIL those implicated in blowing up the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine.
While it is known that. several of the
mob, fearing arrest, have escaped
from the county, a large majority Of
those wanted are still here.
Gen. Merriam was busy NIL day
sending dispatches throughout the
mining district, disposing Of the troops
SO as to protect property and shut of

day. Every avenue of escape from the
Occur d'Alene district is guarded by
one or more companies of troops, and
the federal authorities believe that the
arrest Of all suspected will be made
without serious trouble as soon as
Identification is possible. One hundred
and twenty-eight men accused of par.
ticipating in Saturdays riot have been
arrested and are under guard Of Unit.

ner's inquest over the bodies of Smith

Washington, May GA cablegraly
has been received from Gen. Otis
which says:
Sumner, with six battalions Of the
Oregon, Dakota, Third infantry and
Utah light artillery of Lawton's, divis-
ion, proceeded north this morning to
AIaasin, crossed the river, charged the
enemy in strong intrenchments, driv-
ing him northward and infiicting con-
siderable loss. His casualties, two
wounded.
Both Wheaton and Hale, of MacAr.
thurs division found enemy in force,
strongly intrenched and commanded
by Commander-in-C Chief Luna about
four miles south of San Fernando.
Hale OH the right, dislodged the enc
my, and Wheaton, on the left, leading
an advance, made a brilliant charge,
scattering his forces. inficting great
punishment. Several officers and en-
listed men severely wounded.
''MacArthur proceeds to San Fer
nando in the morning. Delayed by
partial destruction of bridge across
river. Not believed the enemy will
make another determined stand until
he effects n retreat to Mount Arayat
ut short distance from Isidro.'
Another dispatch giving the situa.
ton in the Philippines was received
from Gen. Otis, as follows:
"Lawton holds Baliuag, captured on
the I'd inst. after rapid movement from
Angar. where supplied with wagon
train, pack animals and rations. He
scattered the strongly intrenched reb-
els to the north and northwestward,
capturing large amounts of food sup
plies. and has his detachments to the
north and eastward. His successful
movement was attended with great
difficulty because of the character of
the country, rain and heat. He now
covers our railway communication and
will be supplied from Malolos.
"IacArthur's column concentrated
took up the advance on San Fernando
at t30 this morning. Do not appre.
;hend sharp resistance on the part Of
TIE enemy, who will probably leave
the railroad and retire northeasterly
direct to north of Lawton. The de.
struction of the railroad near Calum-
pit necessitates dependence on wagon
transportation.
1.-The enemy south ard east of Ma,
Mia. 5000 strong, opposed by sufficient
force under Ovenshine and Hall. The
demonstration thus far properly met
by these officers, with light losses.
! MANY reports are received from out
lying cities for protection against in.
surgent troops"
The war department is satisfied from
the dispatches received from Gen
Otis that the American commander
has put aside the insurgent temporiz-
ing over peace and has turned his at
tcrtion to most aggressive tactics. The
wisdom OF his course was fully ap.
proved by officials here, who have
foresccn that the rebels needed further
chastiscment in order to bring them to
Il realizing sense of their position.

Gen. Funston Wounded.
Manila. May 6.-aIai. Gen. MacAr-
thur carried San Tomas after en-
countering strong resistance. Brig.
Gen. Hale moved on the enemy's right
and Brig. Gen. Wheaton attacked the
left in daring charge, in which Col.
Funston again distinguished himself.
The Kansan was wounded in the hand
and several other officers and enlisted
men were also wounded. Col. Sum-
mers, with Il part of the Oregon and
Minnesota regiments and gun of the
Utah battery. took Maasin OH the
right, resting four miles from San Fer
nando.
The Filipinos are retreating toward
San Isidro and it is expected that they
will make stand at Arayat. ut which
place the whole of the rebel force in
the province of Panpanga is concen-
trating.
1t is reported that. impressed by re-
cent events, the Filipinos are wavering
in their allegiance to the instruction
and are likely to assume neutral atti-
tudc.
1t seems as though Gen. Antonio
Luna's forces are destined to destruc-
ton within few days unless they sur
render or scatter.

MacDonagh's "Irish Life and Char
acter" relates an anecdote illustrating
Mr.. Parnell's lack of humor. The first
meeting of the Irish Land League was
presided over by Mr.. Kettle, and it
fell to Mr.. Parne1l to move vote OF
thanks to the chair. Il need hardly
observe, gentlemen" said he, that in
Ireland the name of Kettle is a house
hold word" He was quite unaware of
the pun, but his hearers did not find
It easy to keep their faces straight.
Still more trying was the scene in
Western town when the body of
Union soldier named Hogg was brought
home to be honored with a public flu
neral. The clergyman. who pronounced
an extemporaneous eulogy. produced a
sensation by saying, This country
must be saved. even if it shall cost the
life of many HoggT'
