Hope of saving the Wrecked

was received at the Navy department today
from the commander of the United States
naval station at Cavite P. L.:
"CAVITE, Nov. 23.-Charleston wrecked
November q Last seen November 13. under
water from stern to smokestack. Three un-
successful attempts to get near. Heavy
typhoon since. Expect Culgoa with later
news. officers and crew all saved and we'll.
''LEUTZE."
The Culgoa is the supply ship which sailed
from Hong Kong several days ago with
wreckers and divers to examine the Charles
ton. 1t has undoubtedly arrived at the
scene of the wreck by this time. The officers
at the Navy department look upon this re-
port from Captain Leutze as dismissing the
last hope of saving the Charleston.

VIII Make Determined Resistance
to American Advance.

MANILA, Nov. 23.-12:50 D. m.-The in
surgents from the north are concentrating
at Montalban and San Mateo. where it is
expected they will make resistance to the
American advance. The Spaniards never
occupied these places and the insurgents be-
lieve them to be, impregnable.
reconnaissance to the northwest of San
Mateo on Tuesday developed the fact that
the rebels were moving stores and men to
Montalban. The number of insurgents Is
unknown.
reconnaissance made yesterday showed
that 200 rebels are entrenched at San Mateo
and others in the valley between there and
Mariquina, whre the rebel outposts are
stationed.

adapted for strong resistance.

sert that Aguinaldo was not expecting the
american advance for month, when the
rains would have finished
He had permitted large part of his army
to scatter to their homes and do the harvest

about their homes. If this is true many
rifles are likely TO be brought in to secure
the $50 offered for each weapon seized.
The fording of Pampanga river above Tar
lac by the Thirty-sixth regiment and bat.
talon of the Seventeenth regiment was a
noteworthy feat, The river is broad and
swift. Part of the command was ferried on

thur communicated with him, was holding

SAC AND FOX INDIAN UPRISING.
Has Not Been Officially Reported to
the Interior Department.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The threatened
uprising of Sac and Fox Indians in Iowa
ON account of the forcible detenthn of an
Indian pupil, a married woman. at the goy
ernment school have not yet been officially
reported to the interior department While
the authorities do not attempt to sustain
the action of the agent in OBTAINING a mar
riei woman pupil, the government claims
the right, once pupils are enrolled In a
school, to compel them by force or other
wise to attend. The Sac and Fox Indians
have long opposed this policy and the matter
has given rise to considerable correspond
ence between the department and agency
officials. Some months ago Pomeschiek, the
Sac and Fox chief, came to Washington
to make protest, but finally conditionally
consented to cooperate with this policy
and promised to send his own children to

ing has been heard as to the measure OF

from President Mckinley to Aguinaldo con-
corning the Spanish captured, but it is as
sumed that with the recent for
ward movement of the American
troops and the routing of the
Filipinos difficulty has been experienced by
General Macarthur in delivering the mes
sages. The American forces have freed scat
tered bands, about sixty to eighty in all, and
besides these 200 sick prisoners are about
to be released and put aboard an American
ship now on the way north to receive them
There now remain about 1000 or 5000 Span

Believed 1T Would De Unwise to
Start South African Squadron Now.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--It is said at the
Navy department that the Discrimination OF
the department to order Rear Admiral Schley
to South Africa has no connection what
ever with the personality of that officer.
Whoever commanded the South African
squadron at this juncture, 1t is said, would
receive similar instructions, for it Is re-
garded as matter of national policy to re-
frain from sending war ships to either the
Cape or to Delagoa bay or Durham. 1t is
felt to be unwise for the United States to
initiate the sending OF war ships to South
Africa now. There can be little doubt that
such action on our part would instantly be
followed by the naval powers of the conti-
nent and French, Russian and German
fleets would follow each other there, to the
complication of the situation.
1t is not to be learned that this attitude
of the government has been assumed as the
result of any representative from the Brit
ish government. 49,

Robert G. IngersOll on the Burning
and MutiIatiOn of Negroes.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Col Robert G.
Ingerson says of the lynchings in Geor-
gia:
IT suppose these outrages-these fright
full crimes-make the same impression on
my mind that they do on the minds of
all civilized people. know Of no words
strong enough, bitter enough, to express
my indignation and horror. These hor-
rors were perpetrated in the name Of
justice. The savages who did these
things belong to the superior race They
are citizens of the great republic. And
yet 1t does not seem possible that such
fends are human beings. They are a dis
grace to our country, our century and
the human race. Let me say that what I
have said is flattery compared with what
I feel. When I think of the other lynch
1ng-of the poor man mutilated and
hanged without the slightest evidence,
of the negro who said that these mur-
ders would be avenged, and who was
brutally murdered for the utterance Of a
natural feeling-I am utterly at loss for
words. Are the white people insane?
Has mercy fled to beastsf Has the
United States no power to protect citi-
zen? A nation that cannot or will not
protect its citizens in time of peace has
no right to ask Its citizens in time of
war"
