yesterday. They will relieve pressure
on MacArthur's front materially.
Troops in excellent condition and spirits.
Proclamation signed Luna, general-in-
chief insurgent forces, directs that all
towns abandoned be burned. In conse-
uuence thereof, much country north in
flames. OTIS"
The above dispatch was received in
Washington at 2:30 a. m. March %. It
is observed that it refers only to the
fighting on March ~, nothing being
said about the operations Of Tuesday.
General Greeley, chief signal officer,
has received dispatch from Manila,
which is confined to routine affairs.
The Frost named in General Otis dis
patch is Captain A. Frost, of the Twen
ty-second infantry, now colonel Of the
First South Dakota volunteers. The
three officers killed in the regiment are
fJoseph H. Lien, first lieutenant and ad-
jutant; First Lieutenant Frank H.
Adams, and Second Lieutenant Sidney

lounces that the Third infantry has
taken the place of the Twenty third in

battalions of the Twentythird were
brigaled with the Oregon volunteers,

House Bill AZ Defective.

The bill passed by the last legislature
to make railroad companies liable for
acts of employees in damage cases Is now
SAID to be unconstitutional in that it
males certain classes OF employees fav-
ored az against others. The bill pro-
vides that tram men, switchmen and
Others are only included. This is re-
garGed as special or class legislation,
which is prohibited by the constitution.
Another amendment added makes it
necessary for the jury to decide who is
responsible, thus in effect including two
convictions in the same verdict. A test
OF the law will probably be made at the
first opportunity.
