CHICAGO-The weak cash situation
and q sharp drop In foreign markets
pushed wheat to a new low level to-day.
September closing weak Mt %Gl9c de-
cline from yesterday. Corn was stend-
led by good shipping inquiry and clos
ed slightly higher. Oats closed irregu-
lar, cash a shade lower to hc higher.
Provisions declined sharply, closing TAG
12hc lower.
Opening prices for September wheat
showed decline OF hGhc from yes
terday, September starting ut 6S%@
CsNc. And that proved to be the
hiEh point of the day. Interest In the
market which has been slack for sever
al days, was. II possible, even duller
than yesterday and the market for the
greater part OF the session kept within
a range OF sc. The weakness Mt the
start was due to decline at Liverpool
OF I'd since Saturday. This was double
the decline in the local market since
that day and coupled with the contin-
ued absence OF foreign inquiry for
American wheat kept prices on the
down grade during most OF the day. IT
whs apparently the prevailing opinion
that II was hopeless task to attempt
to bull the market while there Is so lit
tie demand for wheat abroad. and what
little buying was done was AbhlnSL
puts, to which price (GSiSd6S&c) the
market declined shortly after the open
Ing. There was scattered selling by
the northwest and by local commission
houses. but outside interest was slack.
September longs were inclined To TRIMS
for their deals from that month to De-
cember and buying OF the latter against
snles Of September had tendency to
widen the spread between those months
to the advantage OF the carriers.

ferred and few less prominent stocks
advanced. A very strong upward
movement in Sugar from 159M to 1921
was the decisive influence in the late
strength of the market which closed
active and strong at net gains in nearly
all cases. The tone Of the money mar
ket was called rather easier though

hardening tendency of London dis
counts still continued but the money
rate at Berlin was fraction lower and

ing relaxation of the tension at that
point, notwithstanding that the Bank
Of England continues to make demands

thssA, but fighting indomitably for every
:Ird Of the way, the American troops
are pressing on with all possible speed
toward Malolos. -
There the greatest battle Of the war
will be fought. Tonight will probably
find Generals Macarthur and Wheaton
at the outskirts Of the city, and tomor-
row morning the engagement will begin.
Aguinaldo has fed to Malolos and there
surrounded himself with powerful
force OF the best fighting men the islands
can muster and is prepared to make II
long resistance.
So desperate has the insurgent situa.
ton become that Aguinaldo has issued
a proclamation that he will put to death
any one who refuses to fight.
Hunger is playing havoc with the iu-
surgents. No sooner are they taken
prisoners by the Americans than they
beg for food. declaring themselves to be
starving.
For answer to their requests for food
the prisoners say that Aguinaldo makes
promises of permitting the loot of Nh.
nila, adding that the Americans have
been overcome.

Death OF Bishop Duggan.

st. Louis, March 2S.-Bishop James
Duggan died yesterday at st. Nincent's
Insane asylum, where he had been pa
tient for 30 years. He was "A years
of age. The bishops intellect became
clouded in 1870, and it was found neces-
sary to provide for him at the asylum.
One of his delusions was that he was
the pope. At intervals he appeared to be
entirely rational At such times he
would pore over ecclestical volumes and
recount incidents of his life. Fifty years
ago Bishop Duggan was the cOadjutor
and friend Of Archbishop Kenrick. Up
to the time Of his death he was always
permitted to retain the garb of u bishop.

their way through well made rebel en-
trenchments. Malolos Is the insurgent
capital, where the assembly has been
sitting and the insurgent government
has been in operation. Il represents
more to the insurgents than any other
place in the Philippines, and little doubt
is entertained that they will make des-
perate stand there.
The tactics Of Aguinaldo are taking
him gradually beyond the range Of Ad-
miral Dewey's guns. While the insur
gents were at Malabon, on Saturday.
they were within a mile of the water
front, and easily within range Of the
feet. But ais they have moved north
ward they have gradually moved away
from the bay. Malolos is about seven
miles back Of the bay, although there
are shallow estuaries which would per-
init light draft boats to get within a
mile or two.
The war department officials have no
knowledge Of Prince Loewenstein. who
Is no record showingthat he had author.
ity to 90 with the army rs a representa-.
tive Of foreign government or in any
other capacity. 1t was said that he had
enlisted in the regular army, but there
Is nothing in the war department to
show it. Secretary Hay, Of the state
department, knew Loewenstein in Eng
land, where he was married in 1897.
He was of q rowing disposition and went
to the Philippines In spirit of adven-
ture.
The following cablegrnm was received
by the war department from General
Otis on March 10, and has just been
made public:
"Have purchased all gunboats in Phil
ippines of Spain, 13 in number, now
at Zamboanga. Half are in serviceable
condition. Payment In cash from public
fund upon delivery at Manila. They
will be sent this week"
On Saturday and Sunday there was
sharp fighting with the rebels by the
forces under Generals Wheaton and
Macarthur. On Sunday General Whea-
toms troops captured the town Of Ma
linta, and in the fight Colonel Harry G.
Egbert, Of the Twenty second regular
infantry, was killed, after having served
continuously as a line officer for nearly
40 years. Prince Loewenstein, Of Ger
many, was also killed. He somehow got
in front Of the firing line, Our total
loss in two days fighting was three Of
ficers and 25 enlisted men killed and 212
wounded. OF the Tenth Pennsylvania
regiment Private Aliz Newell was killed
and Privates Charles o. Walker, Eu-
gene Morgan and Vernon Kelly wounded.
On Saturday night, evidently antici-
pating a bombardment of the town,
thousand rebels evacuated Malabon.
leaving few to burn the town. Owing
to the natural obstacles and to the
strong opposition our troops were power
less to prevent the withdrawal. Little

soldiers took possession.
