Falling Back.

Manila, Ocf. 9.-Evenlng-General
Schwan's column, consisting of the
18th infantry, a battalion of the 18th in
fantry, two troops of cavalry, Captain
Riley's battery of the 9Th artillery and
Loves scouts, continued the advance
to-day towards San Francisco de Mala-
bon, meeting with little resistance and
suffering no casualties. The enemy fell
back steadily. This evening the col
unln is resting between Santa Cruz and
San Francisco de Malabon. Provisions
are being conveyed to Rosario, between
Noveleta and Santa Cruz.
1850 p. m.-The American camp to-
night is within sight of San Francisco
de Malabon, the stronghold of the in
surgents in the province of Cavite,
where the Filipinos are said to number
5000 During the march from Noveleta
to Rosario only a few shots were fired.
This large coast town was literally
filled with white flags. The Americans
captured two or three hundred men,
many of the F'ilipinos changing their
clothing for white costumes. The bay
of Rosario was filled with hundreds of
boats and the people had spent an ex-
citing night.
An expedition composed of the United
States gunboats Callao and Manila,
with an armed tiatboat and steam
pump, left Cavite for the river Pasig
or Belts, which e1hpties into Manila
bay on the north side, with a view Of
raising the Spanish river gunboat

which is reported to be in good condi-
ton. The gunboat Helena, with a body
of marines from the Baltimore, pre-
coded the expedition to make soundings

Countries Meet.
Chicago, Oct. 9.-Through their off,
cial Representatives the three great
countries of North America were in
troducd to one another here to-day.
The Mexican delegation, headed by
Vice President Mariscal, and the Can
adam, under the leadership of Premier
Laurier, were received by President
Mckinley in the Auditorium annex.
The Mexican delegation was accorded
the first reception.
President Mckinley and the repre-
sentatves of the chief executive of
Mexico exchanged compliments, talking
for some time. Senior Mariscal eX-
pressed his appreciation of the welcome
that had been extended the delegation
from the sister country, not only Off
cially burt spontaneously by the Amerl-
which they had passed.
He conveyed the regrets of President
Daz that the latter could not be pres
ent in person, and spoke hopefully of
the present relations existing between
Mexico and the United States.
President Mckinley spoke in the
same strain and inquired about the
health of Mrs. Diaz, whose illness pre-
vented President Diaz from coming to
Chicago. Mrs. Mckinley, the president
said, was not in very good health.
The reception of the Canadian party
took but few moments. Premier Lau-
rier and the president merely exchanged
formal compliments, expressing pleas

IN COMPLETE CONTROL.
The O. II. & N. in the Hands of the Union
Pacific.

Salt Lake, Utah, Oct AT a special
meeting of the stockholders of the
Union Pacific Railroad company held
in this city to-day, an amendment was
made to the articles of association to
increase it's preferred capital stock by
the amount of 25.0OO0O0 and it's COM
mon stock by $7,71S,600.
The amendment was adopted by a
vote of nearly 80 per cent. of the en-
tire capital stock. The increased CAPT
tai stock of the company is to be used
for the conversion at par of outstand-
Ing Oregon Short Line and oregon
Railway & Navigation bonds. This
gives the Union Pacific, which already
controls the Short Line, absolute con-
troll of the Oregon Railway & Naviga-

say that no change in policy or man
agement is contemplated.

A DEARTH OF WAR NEWS
Preparations for the Dispatch of
Troops.
RADICALS IN OPPOSITION
May Protract the Meeting OF Parliament.
Steamer Has Landed Arms for
the Boers-Appeal for
Arbitration.

London, Oct. 9.-The complete dearth
OF news from the Cape, on which all at
tention is riyeted, is poorly compen-
stated for by the mass of minor details
published concerning the preparations
Tor the dispatch of the army corps ar1
speculation as to the length and char
acter or the debates when parliament
meets. In official circles there is said
to be apprehension that the radicals
will offer protracted opposition to the
governments policy in South Africa,
which will possibly make propagation
ana Christmas near neighbors.
The latest dispatch from Lourenco
Marquee relating to the chasing of the
steamer Guelph by the cruiser Philome
caused some stir, especially as it was
announced that the Guelph had landed
at Durham Ala cases of ammunition for
the Boers.
There is pretty general feeling that
ammunition ought not to be allowed to
be forwarded. The Pail Mall Gazette,
referring to the matter, says:
There is some hope that the ammun-
ition will be seized al Durham, as Natal
possesses a ministry whose loyalty Is
unquestioned. Had not the F'ilipinos
been given arms by the Americans with
which to fight Spain. General Otis
would long ago have been enjoying his
ease at home. Similarly with the Beers
we may have to pay heavily in blood
for the apathy the Cape government
has exhibited in this matter.
Lord Vantage. president of the Brit
ish Red Gross society, will shortly issue
an appeal for contributions to aid in the
work of the society, which he says VIII
provide two hospital trains and a hos
pital ship. The duke of Westminster
and Lord Vantage have given E1,C00
each and Baron Rothschi1d has raised
G11,000 among his friends.
Some indication of the war office esti-
mate of the duration of the campaign
is given by the fact that the authorities
have contracted for eight months sup

It appears that although the war Of
flee called upon $4,000 reserves only the
pick of them, some 5000, will be re
tanned with the colors. The authorities
are pleased at the application of num-
Der of reserves belonging to the union
mobilized classes, who are volunteering
for foreign service. The war office an
nounces that wives of reserves will get
pence and each child 2 pence daily

REOUlSlTiON HONORED.
Fugitive j. w. Moore viii Return to
Colorado.

Special Dispatch to the Standard,
Helena, Oct. 9.-Before leaving for
Spokane to-day Governor Smith hon
ored the requisition of the governor
of Colorado for J. w. Moore, a fugitive
from justice, who was arrested near
Billings by Sheriff Hubbard of Yell
lowstone county. In April of last year,
while being taken from Gunnison to
Canyon City to serve one year in the
penitentiary for forgery, Moore es-
capped from Sheriff Wiley Of Gunnison
county. and fled to Montana. When
arrested he was working with O
threshing outfit. Sheriff Hubhar I'd
brought him to Helena and to-day
turned him over to Sheriff Wiley, who
arrived here last night for the pur-
pose of taking him back to serve his
term. Sheriff Wiley feels very CRATE
full to the Yellowstone county sheriff
The Colorado sheriff said that he left
Moore shackled to a seat in a car at
Salida as he stepped out of the train
to send telegram. During his alb
sence a confederate gave Moore a
coupling pin, with which he broke the
shackles and fled. Moore forged
check for the small sum Of so.

to Avoid Trouble.
London Oct. 9.-The Duke of Devon
shire, lord president of the council of
ministers, speaking at Sheffield to-day,
said that the deductions made from his
recent speech at Manchester regarding
the Transvaal situation had warned
him that a member of the government
could not be too careful.
Matters have not become more criti-
cal during the last few days" remarked
the duke, land I trust the interval for
reflection may conduce to pacific set
tlement." l.M
His grace added, however, that he
was afraid the only hopeful sign was
the fact that the government of the
South African republic did not appear
inclined to precipitate any acts of ag-
gression upon the British territory, such
as their previous preparations led the
British government to anticipate as
longer such an attempt should be de-
layed the less would be the probability
of even temporary success.
Although the government does not
consider 1t right said his grace, ITO
relax any measures deemed necessary
and although preparations for the pcs
sible campaign are still in full progress,
/ think I may say that the country may
rest assured that no irrevocable step
will be taken until the Transvaal has
received and has had full opportunity to
consider those demands which the Brit
ish government considers necessary 10
protect the rights of their fellow citi-
zens and to safeguard British interests
in South Africa.
'In these circumstances there is
chance that wiser counsels than have
hitherto prevailed may assert them
selves.
Il do not complain of the speeches of
independent politicians, although it may
be doubted that such utterances tend to
peace, but a different kind of RESPONSE
bility rests upon those directly connect
ed with the government. Though I Go
not regret anything I said on former
occasion dealing with this question. yet
the handle which that speech has given
to certain irresponsible negotiators to
open communication on their own ac-
count has warned me that at the pres
