says General Hale, the First Colorado
Regiment made a charge in fine style,
rushing and hating alternately in case
the enemyS fire became too strong
When half way to the block houses the
insurgents broke from the east works

bers and ran for the hills, the Ameri-
cans picking them off as they ran.
Thirty five were gathered up in the i'm
mediate vicinity, twenty-four dead and
eleven wounded This movement broke
the inSurgent center and showed that
they could not stand a charge. There
fore, the tactics were repeated and
other charges were made by other regi-
ments of the command with like gal
lantry and success, the Tennessee and
South Dakota troops being commended
among others.
General Hale speaks in one portion of
the report of finding the body of AS

Battery with a powder stained bullet
hole in his head, indicating that he had
been captured and killed after his cap

forces. General Hale tells how his
troops had been excellently placed and
stopped the advance because of the APP
proach of darkness, this deciding them
to remain where they were until morn

practically groundless; that the position
was a strong one; that there was no fir

jor Goodale was reluctant to withdraw
especially at night They therefore left
the platoon there and returned, Lieuten-

to leave the battalion where it was and

SUNDAY WORK OF

The Hope That Permanent Arbitra-

Grows Brighter.

THE HAGUE, May 2S.-The newly APP
pointed subcommittee of the third COM
mittee of the peace conference, the arbi-
tration,, will meet tomorrow. 1t will be
known as the drafting committee, indi-
eating in it's name the scope of its func-
tons. The delegates have worked I'M
ceasingly to-day, although the formal
labors of the conference were suspended.
An effort Is being made, and with GER
tain degree of progress, to combine the
Russian and British proposals in such
way that the report of the drafting com
mittee may secure the support of both
parties in the plenary committee. M. de

spectively, and other delegates had long
conference to-day with this end in view,
and there is no doubt that an agreement
in principle will be reached.
The hopes of the delegates that per-
manent arbitration board will be estab-
lished is rapidly improving. The different
points now relate to the composition Of
the tribunal, how the representation of
the powers is to be arranged and the
limitations TO be placed upon the juris-
diction of the board.

BOISE, Idaho May 2S.-Up to the pres

reached the enormous total of $7T5000, and
the expenses have just commenced. The
most important item, of course, was the
value Of the Bunker Hill plant, worth
$3.50, 600, which the dynamiters destroyed.
Next to that comes the charge of 5000 900

The Kuskokwin Indians have given a
straightforward account of the wreck of

going in their canoes to the rescue of the
passengers. They secured a large amount
of wreckage from the barge which the
Jessie was towing Other Indians who
trade along the coast knew of the wreck,
but none of them believed that any of
passengers reached shore. as the breakers
