Rio Grande. 1t is substantially built
town with some 1000 houses.
The advance of General Lawton by a
circuitous route will be over country
of which little is known here. NorZa-
gay is a considerable town, and it is
thought General Lawton is about there
by this time. A road runs all the way
there from CalumDit. Along it are
scattered manv small towns, Angat,
Bustos, Balinog-indicating that the
advance is through a populous country.
1t is an agricultural locality with eX-
tensive rice and fruit plantations.
The war department map, prepared
by the military information bureau,
shows this road joins the one on which
Macarthur is moving up from Malolos.
1t is hardly thought, however, that
Lawton will make a junction with
Macarthur before striking Calumpit,
so as to strike the city in the rear while
Macarthur is attacking it in front.
The execution of this double move
ment is being followed with great in
terest by war department officials, as
it is on a considerably larger scale than
the brush clearing which mas been in
progress recently.

FORM COPPER COMBINATION
DEFINITE ANNOUNCEMENT OF

NOT HONOR ENOUGH FOR ALL
ARMY AND NAVY CONFLICT
OVER ILoILo CAMPAIGN.
Protest By Captain Wilde of the
Cruiser Boston Against the Credit
Given to General Miller.

Washington, April 24.-Captain G. +
Wilde, U. S. N, of the United States
steamship Boston has protested against
the promotion of Colonel Miller 10 be
a brigadier general as a reward for the
capture of 1loilo. 1t appears that this
capture was effected entirely by naval
forces under the command OF Captain
Wilde and that it was not until after
the capture had been effected that the
place was turned over to Colonel Mil
Ter, who up to that time had nothing to
do with its capture.
This action is endorsed by Admiral
Dewey.
Wildes protest comes too late 10 be
effective, as Colonel Mile: was pro-
NOTED brigadier general in recognition
of his services at Iloilo and was retired

law on account of age. lie WIS in

Manila for the capture at Iloilo, and
the cruisers Boston and PeIrel were
sent with him to render assistance.
While the vessels of the expedition
were lying off the port the natives be-
gan at once to strengthen .!leir de-
lenses and fired several shots at the
Petrol, which vessel was anchored
nearest the ssore. The commander of
that same warshiD asked and received
permission of Captain While of the
Boston to respond.
At this time, according to naval al
vices, General Miller's army trans
ports were far out in the roadstead
Without communicating with General
Miller the warships opened fire ON the
shore batteries and soon silenced them.
Lieutenant Niblack of the Boston
landed with a battalion of marines and
sailors and took possession of the
town. They captured the insurSent
flags on the governors house and on
the batteries and turned the citv over
to General Miller on his arrival. an
hour or 50 later. They kept the cap
tured flags, however, in spite Of Gen
eral Miller's demand for them.
This is the naval story of the battle
of Iloilo. The official report of that en-
gagement first received in Washington
was made by General Miller to the war
department and simply announced the
surrender of that city to the American
forces under his command, without
going into particulars. Acting upon
this report and in view of the fact that
General Miller had but d few more
weeks to serve on the active list, the
president appointed him to 4 vacancy
then existing in the list of brigadier
generals.
He is now on his way home from Ma
Mia and is expected to reach San Fran
cisco in a few DAYS.

EXECUTIVE CRITICISED MRS.
EMERsoN's METHODS.
Whereupon She Resigned and De-
clares She Meant It, and the Gov

About It-Mormon and Anti Nor
mon Phase to the Controversy.

The Mormon and Norman con-
f1ict seems to have broken out at the
Utah school for the deaf, dumb and
blind, at Ogden. The governor has re-
buked Mrs. Emerson, one of the trus-
tees, because of her efforts to secure
the retention of one of the teachers:
Mrs. Emerson has resigned from the
board, and much hubbub and commo-
ton has been brought about.
Notwithstanding this state of facts,
his excellency, the governor, last even
ing positively denied any knowledge of
Mrs. Emerson's reasons for resigning,
and deity conveyed the understanding
that he was in absolute ignorance of
the circumstances surrounding the af-
fair.
AS near as can be learned, it appears
that the trouble eliminating in the
resignation of Mrs. Emerson started q
week ago last Thursday at a meeting
of what is known as the visiting COM

COMPLAINT ENTERED.
German Government Makes Protest
to Secretary Hay.

Washington, April 24-The German
government has entered a formal pro-
test against the language used by Cap
tain Coghlan of the Raleigh, at the
Union League club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hay through the German am
bassador Herr Won Holleben. Secre-
tary Hay replied that the language ap-
peared to have been used at dinner
in club, and could not be regarded as
an official or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state
department in acting. However, the
navy department was fully competent
to take such action as the case seemed
to require.
With this statement the ambassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless await reasonable length
of time upon the navy department
There are semi official intimations
that the ambassador will not so much
concern himself with the course CT
Captain Coghlan as with the course of
the United States in dealing with
Coghlan. The German ambassador
stated today that the poem recited by
Captain Coghlan was too nasty to be
noticed
1t is said Captain Coghlan's case is
not similar to that of the Spanish Cap
tain Conchas, whose utterances in
Madrid, just before the war, criticisirg
the United States, caused the state de-
partment to lodge a formal protest
through United States Minister Hannis
TAYLOR. Captain Conchas' utterances
were embodied in a lecture before the
Spanish Geographical society and We're
public in the full sense of the term.
Secretary Hay, in his reply to the
German ambassador, has undoubtedly
taken note of the differences between
the cases on this particular point, and it
may be a very important difference for
Captain Coghlan. The state depart
ments position is that club is simply
the home of number of gentlemen
and so cannot be considered public
affair.
But this view does not relieve Cap
tain Coghlan from responsibility to- his
brother officers, for conduct which is
alleged to be detrimental to the navy.
Though relieved from accountability to
the state department directly by Sec

with the board of trustees in behalf OF
the retention of Miss Davidson, and
II necessary, order an investigation of
the charges against her.
The petition was taken to Governor
Wells by one of the blind pupils named
Layne, who, it is said, originated and
circulated the document. 1t was, how
ever, written at his request by Mrs.
Emerson, and when it was shown to
Miss Babcock by the governor, the
latter called attention to this fact.
Rebuked By the Governor.
At meeting held last Thursday of
the visiting committee, it is said that
Mrs. Emerson. was informed that the
governor questioned the propriety of
her drafting and circulating such
document. She denied with some
warmth that she had ever circulated
the petition and asserted that her part
in the affair had been misrepresented
to the governor. She announced her
intention of resigning from the board
of trustees
At this meeting there were present
John Watson, who had qualified in the
meantime, Mrs. Emerson and Miss
Babcock. The resignation of Mrs. En-
erson was sent to the governor and

However, Mrs. Emerson stated last
night that her resignation was final
She also stated that she prepared the

quest and by his dictation; that in her
frequent visits to the school she per-
formed great many such acts for the
pupils.
Mr.. Watson, of the board, stated to

HOW TO SUPPRESS CRIME.
Chicago Doctor Suggests Establish

a prominent physician, in a lecture, adj
vocated the establishment Of a Tar

secures a new code of criminal laws.
He said:
The percentage of criminals has in

that we now have one habitual, or he
reditary criminal in every thousand
persons. Criminals propagate, marry
and multiply unrestricted and unless
we can change our laws, Will continue
to increase in the same ratio they have
in the past until it is appalling to con-
template the result. If Chicago does
not soon have new code of criminal
laws. it Will he wiser to have a Tar
