YOUNG ROU|S ENEMY
Severe Fighting Occurred in the
Mountains Near Vigan, Insurg-
ents Using Artillery.
Young's Small Force Finally Charges
the Rebels, Driving Them
From Trenches.
Great Relief in Manila at News Of
Young's Safe Arrival at
Vigan.

Manila, Dec s.-Considerable relief
was felt in Manila when word was re-
ceived that Youngs small force had ar
rived safely at Nigan Wednesday,.
Anxiety had been felt for Young and
the garrison at Vigan since it was
known that Gen. Tino had a large and
aggressive body of insurgents operating
in the"vicinity. Tine made a stand in
the mountain pass between Narvacan
and San Quinao. The fight lasted five
hours. Young had three companies of
the Thirty-fourth infantry and two
troops of the Third cavalry, and was re-
inforced during the fight by battalion
of the Thirty-third. Young ended the
fight by charging and routing the enc
my, who left twenty five dead in the
trenches. The enemy employed artil-
lery. Only one American WAS seriously
injured.
The uprising in the island of Negros
was led by the police of Lac Corlata
district, where there is small Ameri-
can garrison. The police Inspired false
reports of insurgent victories in Luzon
and Panay. There are $40 native police
in Negros, uniformed and armed with
Springfield rifles. Lieut. Ledyard. the
officer killed, was the son of the presi-
dent OF the Michigan Central railroad.

Winside, Neb., Dec. s.-A posse is
searching for the burglars who entered
the harness and shoe shop of Gus
Bierch. carrying away s1s in cash and
l10 pairs of shoes, worth $50.
The robbers Mere seen as they drove
rapidly out Of the town III a light spring
wagon, into which the shoes had been
loaded. 1t is supposed that they have
gone to Stanton, Neb. When Blerch
opened his store in the morning he saw
at first nothing amiss. But when he
took down from shelf one Of the boxes
of shoes he discovered that it was emp

cry that all the boxes on the shelves, al
though arranged in orderly rows. were
empty The robbers evidently dumped
the shoes upon the floor and then loaded
them into the wagon, proceeding IN a
systematic fashion to loot the premises.
The safe had not been locked, and the
money which 1t contained was easily Sc
cured. The burglary caused good deal
of excitement. and dozen angry men
formed the posse to catch the pefpe-
traitors if possible. They sent to Sioux

BRITIsn ENCOURAGED.
Progress Towards Relief OF Lady
smith Now Being Made.

London, Dec. S.-This mornings dis
patches from the front bring news of a
much more encouraging nature for the
success of the British arms than has
been the case for some time. From the
scattered pieces of intelligence which
arrive from different parts of the scene
of war it is possible TO derive the gem
erai impression of successful progress
and abundant promise for the future.
Gen. Butler has gone to Frere, where
Gen. clery has preceded him by three
days. With the commander in chief in
the camp OF the relief column there
seems to be a well-founded supposition
that all the preliminaries have been ar
ranged and that the advance to raise

before finding the Beers on their front.

Gen Butler can count on having his
crossing or further advance stubbornly
contested. The Beers have moved part
of their main force from Grobler's Kloof

thousand Free Staters are fortified on
the slopes of the Black Mountains, ten
miles from Colenso, while reconnois-

To be sure the rumors of dissension
between the Transyaalers and Free
Staters multiply. Gen. Cranje, it is
l8said, insists on putting Boer officers
over the Free State forces comforting

;will not fight. Continuance of the cam

Havana. Dec. S.-Senor Fernandez de
Castro, former civil governor of Ha-
yana, in the preface TO an edition of all
his speeches and writings, says:
If the Spaniards, by their mistakes
and errors, deserved to lose the island,
the levolutionists. by their excesses and
lack of judgment, deserve TO lose inde-

disorder only as she is willing to put

to recognize her true position as part
of the great democratic republic of the
United States.
Cen. Gomez has protested to the au

here to the effect that he had said hs
would sweep the Americans from the

present, did not speak. He character
lied the entire story as malicious
falsehood.

catching Aguinaldo in the north has
been practically abandoned, and the
probability now is that he will turn

and where it still has its strength. The
Filipino soldiers il that province have
recently been showing increased enthu-
siasm and boldness. and captured in-
surgents say that Aguinaido is coming
to join them with large army. The
same belief prevails among the natives
at Manila and elsewhere that AsuinaI-s
do intends to make his headquarters in
Cavite province. There are 1000 insur-
gents before linus and Bacoor, Keeping
the Americans sleeping on their arms
and nightly awaiting an attack. The
I'lipinos have several cannon. The
first mayor OF linus under the Amer-
can regime, who ultimately deserted. is
their leader in the assaults and is am
bilious to take the town Three sol-
diers of the Fourth Infantry have de-
serted and are now with the enemy.
Most of the inhabitants OF linus are SO
strong in their sympathies with the in
surgents that II Is necessary to use a
part of the regiment TO patrol the
streets and to prevent shooting from
houses whenever an attack begins. The
American forces in the north have sep
arated into many small commands and
are pursuing bands of Filipnos. Cen.
Macarthur is engaged In clearing the
mountain country west Of the Manila
Dngupan railroad.
Gen, Grant Is moving from Angeles
toward Subig with 400 men. Col. Bell
is sweeping south from Mangatarem.
Thus far the American commanders
have been unable to locate large bodies
Of Fllipinos, although there were about
500 In San Clementine, nine miles south
of Mangatarem, early In the week. Col.
Hood, with the Sixteenth regiment and
some cavalry, and Gen. Lawton, with
force from San Isidro. are operating
against Gen. Pillars army in the San
Mateo valley. Mai. Bachelor, with a
battalion of the Twenty-fourth infan-
try, Is making daring expedition. He
left Bayombong, province of Nueva
viscaya. week ago. to march through
Cagayan valley to the north coast of
Luzon, intending toreach Aparri, at the
mouth of the Cagayan river, the most
northern seaport Of the island. While
no large forces are known to be in his
path. it may be that he has had some
fighting, although the friendliness of the
inhabitants Is counted upon to help him.
When he arrives at Aparri he will find a
gunboat awaiting him. The Spanish
prisoners In the Benguet region are es-
Gaping from the F'llipinos and are flock
ing into Vigan. Several hundred are
there already, and steamer will go to
