Washington, Dec. 1.-THE war de-
partment has received the following
from General Otis:
Manila, Dec. 9.-Dispatch from
Young at yigan yesterday says es-
capped Spanish prisoners report four
hours engagement Sd inst, between
his troops and Aguinaldo's guard near
Cervantes, fifty miles southeast Vigan,
with heavy loss to enemy, who is be-
ing pursued. Our loss, one killed, six
wounded; inhabitants of own accord
join troops repairing trail and carry
ing subsistence. Have pushed col
umn to San jose south Bangued,
Howe's column on rear trail; Batch

fantry, reported near Iba, west coast
Zambales; Grants column near Subig

1t is probable that the troops which
engaged Aguinaldo's guard are Hare's
command, as he was reported to be
close in the insurgent LEADERS, rear.
General Otis also cables as follows re-
garding the revolt in Negroes: "In-

Shooting of Rev. Cheney.

Racine, Wis, Dec. S.-The mysteri-
GUS Shooting of Rev. d. B. Cheney and
his wife has aroused every citizen in
this city. Should the culprit be
caught it is not improbable that he will
be severely dealt with ut the hands of

by the doctors attending Mrs. Cheney,
as the bullet fired by the burglar
for such the people here believe he
was-passed through her neck and
tore its way through the membranes

was shot twice, one of the bullets
striking him in the groin.

LESS WHEAT MOVING.
Heavy Falling OF Over the Business
in October, '9S.

October has noted very heavy falling
off of the wheat movement and the con-
ditions this fall have given freight men
cause for query. The amount of wheat
in transit to the end of last week was
very much smaller than in previous years
and only about two-thirds of that of
last year, though 1895 does not give a fair
comparison as it was an exceptional year
Speaking Of present conditions, a freight
agent said yesterday:
1.-THE October loss of wheat over last
year represents approximately 10000, 600
of bushels. Last year the Western
primary markets received duriag the
month 40,l6l,S2S bushels, while TINS y'ear
the receipts at the same points are only
29,791, 735 bushels. The decrease can be
accounted for partly because 1898 was the
heaviest year for a long period. A large
amount OF wheat has been stored this
year, which also makes a difference in
shipments. But allowing for these
causes, there still remains a large amount
of wheat which is not accounted for and
This shortage can only be explained by
smaller production. or volume of stored
grain much greater than freight men
have thought ="

We're $S207,026. The increase in October
earnings this year is $20S, 649 A peculiar
coincidence is shown by a comparison of
the earnings of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern for October The one
road has 1850 miles of track operated
and the other 1853, tC all practical pur-
poses the same mileage Operating in
the same territory, the Great Northern
shows earnings which differ from those
of the rival road by only $3.50 This bal
ance, small in comparison with the totals
shown, lies to the credit of the Great
Northern.
