gan at $3.50 o'clock on Saturday evening
and continued yesterday in determin-
ed desultory manner as the circumstan-
ces or conditions made necessary, the
Filipinos we're utterly routed with fear
full slaughter.
From the best information obtainable
at this writing their losses we're estimat-
cd at 1000, which estimate Is not believ-
ed to be excessive. The natives were
confidently aggressive and wholly un-
prepared for the terrible punishment
which the Americans inflicted upon
them from the very outset.
The number Of American troops en-
gagged was 1900, while the Filipinos'
forces numbered 10000.
The American troops while the fight
ing was going on were disposed in the
following manner: From the bay on
the north around the city to the bay on
the south the Twentieth Kansas infan-
try, Third artillery, First Montana in
fantry and Tenth Pennsylvania infantry
under command Of Brig. Gen Otis; the
First South Dakota infantry, First Col
orado infantry and First Nebraska in
fantry commanded by Brig. Gen. Hale
both brigades being supported by bat
teries A and B of the Utah light artil-
lery under command of Gen. Macarthur;
the First California infantry, First Wy

Fourth cavalry and Fourth infantry
and First North Dakota infantry, com
manded by Brig. Gen. Ovenshine, both

QUAY MAY
A Conference of His Managers About to BE
Held at Harrisburg.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 27.-It is believed
that an earnest effort will be made this week
to break the Senatorial deadlock. Col. Quay.
who went to Florida three weeks ago. has no.
titled his lieutenants here tina. his family will
start north on April ]. but that he will remain
there on account Of his poor healtiLsuntil it Is
necessary for him to leave. His trial at Phila-
delphia is set for April 10. But more important
thin the Information az to his movements is
the suggestion to his lieutenants that they
may take such action with respect to the Sem
atorship as they deem best. This gives
them free rein to take him out OF the fight or
continue to vote for him. There will be a con-
ference of the Quay leaders tomorrow or
Wednesday. 1t Is possible that a compromise
with senator c. l.. MaGee as the basis will he
reached. Those who will he at the conference
are Senator Penrose. Insurance Commissione
Durham. Acknowledgement Elkin. State Treas
urer Beacon. Senator G. l.. Magee and Davis
II. Lane of PHILADELPHIA.
The fact that Col. QUAY has practically
agreed to withdraw makes it.possible Tor the
men of both factions to get together. Senator
John c. Grady OF Philadelphia. ~Chairman.of
the Joint Republican caucus. issued a state
meDt tonight praising the Quay men for their
gallant stand and their uarty loyalty and re-
ferrinE to the recent primary elections in the
different counties which showed the ueople to
be with Quay. He closes by declaring that the
only reasonable solution OF the controversy is
the election Of Quay. which he says is assured.

to Quiet n Jealous Lover.
TRENTON, y. j.. March 21~.-ChanCel,or Me-
Gill filed a decree to-day annullinG the mar
rage Of George Foster Fisher and Rachel +.
Peele. They were married in Toledo. o., in
June. 1897. while they were fellow students at
the Michigan University in Ann Arbor. He
was studying electrical engineering and she
was taking a special course in music. A"-
cording to Miss.Peele's allegations after they
became engaged in the spring Of that year. al
though there was no cause for 1t, he manifest
ed jealousy and got her to consent to the mar
riage ceremony with tho idea that it w1uld
make the engagement binding. and not to live
together as man and wife. After the wedding
they returned to the university. living apart.
In the fall of thatyear both graduated. and the
husband went to Alvaraio. Tex. to pursue his
vocation and che went to the home OF her par
ents in Jersey City. He was to send for her
when his income was sufficient to maintain a
home. According 10 his letters from Ava
RADIO. he wa snot rrospering. and after waiting
until q short time ago Tor him to make his
promiseslgool she instituted the proceeding for
annulments rhe Chancellor hlds that so far as
Miss Peele was concerned the element OF will
ingness was wanting in the marriage. She
consented to the ceremony in the belief that 1t
was simply q step for the stronger binding Of
the engagement tie. The fact that the pair
maintained single relationship after the mar
riage ceremony was proof, he says. that such
was her belief.
