THAYER'S BRAVE FEAT.
How He Established Communication
With Young and Wheaton.

With Young and Wheaton.
General Wheaton's report, which was
received at Manila the other morning,
relieves the anXictY concerning the safe
ty of Lieutenant Arthur Thayer, Troop
a. Third cavalry, who. with Is men,
undertook to cross 50 miles of the enc
my's country and communicate with
General Wheaton.
On the morning of Nov. II General
Young. who was then ut Tayug. order
ed Lieutenant Thayer and his troop to
proceed to Asingan and communicate
with General Wheaton. who was sup
posed to be at Dagupan. Lieutenant
Thayer met with heavy resistance at
Asingan. but finally chased the insur
gents and reported to Colonel Vessels
of the Third cavalry. who sent Major
Swigert with Troop q to support him.
On the morning of the 18th Major Swi-
CERT sent Lieutenant Thayer's troop to
BinaIonan, where the natives told the
lieutenant that the Americans were at
San Jacinto. Lieutenant Thayer took
Is men and started for Manaoag, send
ing the remainder of his troop to Asin-
gan. He found ManaoaG deserted and
learned that the Americans had with
drawn from San Jacinto and were then
at San Fabian. That afternoon he con-
tinued on to San Jacinto, arriving
there at O'Clock. Then he proceeded
on to ManGaldan.
While crossing a wide river within
1900 yards of this point it was report
ed that there were intrenchmentS
across the road. Lieutenant Thayer
deployed five men on either side of the
road and, taking the other three, ad
vanccd slowly to within 500 yards Of
the intrenchmCntS. where he saw ma
tives standing on the plrapet waving
their hats. Then one of the natives left
the trench and walked forward toward
Thayer's men. He spoke in Spanish to
the guide who accompanied the lieu
tenant from San Jacinto and said the
troops in the trenches were Macabebes.
simultaneously the men who were
thanking the trench reported that some
of the natives were leaving the trench
es on both tanks at point which was
then about 800 yards away and that
the rest were within the trench.
At the sound of Lieutenant Thayer's
voice native jumped upon the para
pet and shouted in English, Come on,
men; we are Macabebes"' Thayer
cautioned his men and was advancing
slowly, when suddenly he received Il
volley from the front and left. Lieu
tenant Thayer ordered his men to
mount and retire on Il gallop. keeping
on both sides of the road. Four men
We're missing, but one man and a SER
geant finally came in and said the 9TH
crs, who were on the left of the road.
had disappeared after the volleying
began.
Lieutenant Thayer waited awhile and
then started for San Fabian on a COM
pass course. He camped in n canefield
that night and reached San Fabian I'M
moleSted. The missing men succeeded
in returning to General LawtOn's lines.

QUESTION OF coNYRABAND
Comes Up to Requiresthe Attention of the
State Department


State Department
New York. Dec. ga special to
The Herald from Washington. says:
Secretary of State Hay will have
thorough investigation made of the re-
ported seizure by British cruisers OF
several cargoes of American flour off
Delagoa Bay. South Africa. What ac-
ton will he finally taken by the gov
eminent will depend on what is re-
vealed by inquiries. The reports that
reach Washington are unofficial and
very meagre. They Indicate that the
British foreign office acted on the
theory that the -four was destined for
the Boer army. but they do not in
dictate what evidence the British naval
commanders had TO justify them in
reaching that conclusion.
Ii is contended by the legal repre-
sentative of the American shippers
that he flour was shipped tn bona fide
purchasers in Portuguese territory.
and that the shippers had no knowl-
edge of any Interior destination. If it
can he shown that the flour was
shipped from the United States for the
express purpose of being forwarded
from Delagoa Bay into the Iransvaal
it will be held by the British govern
ment that the shipment WAS technical
ly under international law a continuous
voyage. and that that flour was AZ
clearly liable to seizure as if it had
been in traSit to the TranSVaal.
This doctrine of continuous voyage
was adhered TO very strongly by the
United States during the civil war.
The most celebrated case under il was
that of the British ship Springbok.
which sailed from u British port for
Nassau. another British port. with
goods intended 10 be reshipped from
that port in another vessel and carried
into the Confederacy. The Springbok
was captured before reaching Nassau,
and was taken To New York. where she
was adiudged lawful prize and her
cargo was condemned. This decision
was upheld by the supreme court of
the United States
