FOG AIDED THEIR ESCAPE
Attempt tO Capture a Band of
 FilIpinOS Failed.

| Washington, June 5.-The war G.e
 partment today made public another
 of the mail reports from the Philip
 pines, this time from the late Ol
 Nebraska and Wyoming regiments which participated in the action of February P, when party of about 200 Filipinos were surrounded inside the American lines near the water works, and but for the dense fog pre- vailing at the time would have doubt less have been captured or destroyed. As it was the Fflipinos managed to escape across the river, after being badly cut up, and several of the First Nebraska men came in for mention
 for distinguished gallantry in pro- tecting a party of litter bearers, who
 were fired upon by the natives while
 carrying wounded to the rear.
 The insurgents had been concealed
 in the bamboo south of the water works for two days, evidently medi- tating a demonstration against our
 thin line along that road. Gel. Stots-
 enburg, with the First Nebraska, and Major Foote, with the First battalion of the Wyoming infantry, and Assist ant Surgeon Black of the First North Dakota infantry, ill charge of The am balances, were detailed to surround the party and, if possible, to capture or destroy them. The movement be- gan before daybreak, with the inten- tion of cutting the insurgents Off from the Pasig ri{ar and forcing tLem tp ward Guadaloupe, where the Wyoming volunteers were waiting tc attend to them. The insurgents, however, changed their position during the night, and what with the handicap of bamboo thickets ard a heavy early morning fog, they managed to find an opening in the American Nine and slipped through to the river, which they managed to cross, although under a heavy fire and suffering severe loss. General Hale reported that while the movement had been unsuccessful as to the destruction of the band. the region was thereafter free from all further annoyance by the natives.

Fort de France, Island of Marti- nique. June 5.-The admiral com maEding the French squadron in these waters yesterday received an order to send the cruiser Sfax to take Dreyfus from Devils Island off the coast cf French Guiana, and convey him to France. The Sfax left for Devils Island yesterday
 There is no truth in the report that Dreyfus had embarked on board the Vile de Tangier The Sfax left here at 10 o'clock last night to take Drey- fus on board.

 The authorities of Cayenne foresaw four days ago that the Sfax would leave Fort de France on the present mission, and at ? o'clock this after noon the dispatch boat Goelande, sta tiOned in the waters of French Guiana left Cayenne, the capital, for Devils Island, having on board the superin- tendent of the penitentiary, and the commander Of the marine artillery The officials are delegated by the French government to notify Dreyfus of the revision of his trial

to him instead of driving them to any of the other candidates.
 There is nc feeling against Hender- son anywhere, and his prospect of election is not apt to excite apprehen- sion except among the pledged friends of other candidates. Those who are not pledged are not likely to be turned against him by a fear that he may be elected.
 After disccunting the claims of his friends it is still evident that Hender- son is making a remarkably strong canvass, and that the character of men who are working for him in sew eral strong delegations gives him a gAaat advantage in the contest.

fluential men in congress were pre- pared to vote for legislation which might have seriously hampered the working of the law. They were re- strained in the last congress only by the assurance that the most con- spicuous faults of the Cleveland order would be remedied by the executive. Had it not been for this assurance a bitter fight against the civil service law would certainly have been pre- cipitated. Had the president neg lected to carry out the implied prom ise, the fight would surely have come next winter.

CANNOT CATCH HIM"
What Henderson's Friends Say Of His
 Speakership Race.

Washington, June 5.-General Hen dersOn's friends say that he has lead in the speakerslip contest that will not admit of any one catching him. One Of the shrewdest men in the house told a reporter today, that bas- ing his opinion on information to be had as to the disposition of delega tions, he thought already enough members of the house had decided 10 support Henderson to insure his elac- ton. The action of the Wisconsin delegation is expected to be followed by Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota. South Dakota and Minnesota. The Henderson people regard all these delegations as certain. They have also good reasons to count on the ultimate support Of the entire Penn sylvania delegation, a large slice of the New England contingent and majority of the votes from the south
 General Henderson's friends feel so confident that they think his nomina- tion will be generally conceded before the caucus meets.
 The friends of other candidates SAY that the Henderson boom has started too early to last, but the conditions of the contest are such as to disarrange such Q calculation. A considerable number of members who are noa counted for Henderson are not at tached to any candidate, and his great lead is likely to draw many of these
