no fewer than seventy killed, many of
them by the artillery.

insurgents to the out kirts Of Calumpit,
but the town was found so strongly
protected that General Macarthur
deemed it best to withdraw the tired
fighters and to go into camp for
nights rest before making the final
assault. The largest build ngs in Calum

while the Americans were crossing the
river fully a mile away, indicating the
enemy's intention to abandon the place.
Policy of the Filipinos.
The insurgents seem. to have adopted
a settled policy of retiring from one po-
sition after another after inf1icting the
greatest possible damage upon the ad-
Vancing army. The forces today were
we'll drilled. Every foJt of the ground
was tenaciously disputed by thoroughly
organized troops, who stood remark
ably firm even before artillery. The
enemy had planned to wreck our ar
tillery transport train. This attempt
was a failure, but a span of the iron
railway bridge over the river was de-
StrOyed, hampering the American
transportation FOR some time. The Fill
pinos cut the girders, intending to have
the structure fall with the train, but it
collapsed prematurely of its own
weight.

Pana, Ills, April 22.-Yesterday after
noon Henry Brunot, who with Freder-
lex Sibley was arrested early yesterday
morning for the murder Of Brunot's aunt,
Miss Jane Brunot, of Dana, Ind, whose
body was found in an abandoned well
on her sister-inlaw's farm, five miles
north ofPana, has made full confession
to Chief of Police Kiety, Deputy Sher-
if Cheney (Who captured the murder
ers), and Banker Schuyler (who fur

kill my aunt that night I brought my
mother to Pana, and as the firing was
still going on I took mother to Mrs.
Hampton's, where she staid until the
next day.

put upmy horse and buggy. My aunt was
then in the barn yard, milking. She

my gun and fired first. She fell, and L
fired several more shots into her body.
She died instantly. Sibley did not fire.
Sibley tore all her clothing from her,
searching for money, but found none.
We dragged her out on the porch, threw
her into the Wheelbarrow, and Sibley
wheeled her to the we'll and dumped
her in, head first. We then built a
platform a few feet below the surface
of the ground and filled in with earth.

corroborating that of Brunot. Brunot
denied that his mother and himself
poisoned their father three years ago to
obtain his insurance. Both Sibley and
Brunot denied all knowledge of the
murder of Widow Mcintyre, killed in
the Flatham district two months ago.
Mrs. Brunot has been released from
custody. Sibley and Brunot were re-
manded without bail.
