QUAY is ACQUITTED.
JURY FINDS HIM INNOCENT OF UN-
LAWFUL USE OF STATE FUNDS.

Has Difficulty in Escaping From Congrat-
ulatory Throng at Court House--Four
Ballots Taken by the Jury-His APP
pointment to the Vacant Senatorship.
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Matthew
Stanley Quay was yesterday declared
by jury of his peers to be not guilty of
the charge of conspiring to use for his
own unlawful gain and profit the funds
of the state of Pennsylvania deposited
In the Peoples bank of this city Four
ballots were taken before the final de-
cision was reached. The first ballot
stood 10 to 2 for acquittal, the next
stood II to 1. The one standing out for
conviction by this time had very much
modified his reasons for conviction, and
when the last ballot was taken he voted
for acquittal
At the time the jury came fling into
their places there were comparatively
few people in the court room. There
was an attempt at demonstration, but
this was sternly suppressed by the court
officers, whose loud shouts of "Order!"
"Silence!' was effective in silencing
those jubilant spirits who wished to
give vent to their satisfaction by cheer
ing. The officers were unable, how
ever. to keep back those who struggled
to get to Senator Quay and congratulate
him. Chairs were upset, tables were
brushed aside and hats were smashed
by the on-rushing crowd. Senator
Quay, with broad smile on his face,
responded pleasantly to the greeting
+ and congratulations of those who
crowded around
Although the court officers prevented
the cheering in the court room, their
jurisdiction did not extend to the corri-
doris of the city hall and the first group
Of men who left the court room sent up
mighty saout, which was taken up
and repeated by the crowds just outside
the dead line" drawn by the watch
men, beyond which only possessors of
tickets were allowed to pass. The ave-
nue. surrounding the city hall is the
stamping ground for the politicians of
the town. Here the enthusiasm was
immense as the senator emerged from
the door of the building. A group of
enthusiasts rushed forward and at.
tempted to hoist him on their shoul-
aers, bu0 the senator waved silcla hack,
saying: 'Oh, no; oh, no; I'm too old a,
man for that

| one block down Broad street, to the
office Of his counsel, where he made his
escape from the surging crowd. 1t is
understood that he will at once join his
family in Washington and will proba.
bly, go away for a long rest.
Shortly after noon Governor Stone
appointed Quay as senator to serve un-
til the next session of the legislature.
The appointment is addressed to the
president Of the senate and it is stated
in the letter to be made under authority
of clause Of section of article of the
constitution Of the United States.

three men of the Fourth cavalry, were
killed and Al wounded in an engage
ment at Quengua. The Filipinos re.
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed into a
disastrous, though successful fight. The
insurgents had horseshoe trench about
a mile long, encircling a rice field on
the edge Of wood.
Major Bell with 40 cavalrymen en-
countered strong outpost. One of his
men was killed and five were wounded
by volley.
The Americans retired, carrying their
wounded under fire and with great
difficulty, being closely pursued, fog
enabling the enemy to creep up to them.
Two men who were carrying COM
rade were shot in the arms, but they
continued with their burden.
Captain Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the bodies of the killed caval-
rymen and battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Major Mulford, ar.
rived and advanced until checked by
volleys from the enemy's trenches. The
Americans lay about 800 yards from the
trenches, behind rice burrows, under
fire for two hours.
Several men were sun struck, one dy-
ing from the effects of the heat, as they
lay there waiting for the artillery to
come up.
Finally the Second battalion arrived
and then Colonel Stotsenberg, who had
spent the night with his father at Ma
nila, came upon the field. The men
Immediately recognized him and raised
cheer. Colonel Stotsenberg, deciding
to charge as the cheapest way out of the
difficulty, led the attack at the head of
his regiment He fell with bullet in
the breast. dying instantly, about 200
yards from the breastworks.
Lieutenant Sisson fell, with a bullet
in his heart, the bullet striking him
near the picture of a girl suspended by
ribbon from his neck.
In the meantime the artillery had
arrived and shelled the trenches.
The Filipinos stood until the Ne
braska troops were right on the
trenches, and then they bolted to the
second line of intrenchments, mile
back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri-
Yates and had many wounded, includ.
ing two ieutenants.
The Iowa regiment had several
wounded.
The Utah regiment had one officer
and three men wounded.
Thirteen dead FiGpinos We're found
in the trench. Their loss was compara-
lively small on account of their safe
shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench with small loss and are now
holding the town.
Colonel Stotsenberg has won repu.
tation as one of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although during his first colonelcy the
volunteers, who were not used to the
rigid discipline Of the regular troops,
thought him hard officer.
The loss of the Nebraska regiment in
the campaign is the greatest sustained
by any regiment, and yesterdays dis
aster has greatly saddened officers and
men, who promise to take fierce ven
geance in the next fight.
