Washington, April 24-Information re-
ceived al the war department indicates
that Gen. Otis is about TO execute an
other important movement, the initial
features Of which are shown by today's
press advices from Manila. The objective
point H. the insurgent town Of Calumpit.
lying about miles northwest of Malolos.
1t was here that the insurgents concen-
trated after being driven out OF their
capital, setting mp Il new capital and
making it the base Of their opera tons
In moving on this stronghold, Gen. Otis
proposes to conduct two distinct opera
tons The first one. under Mai. Gen.
Macarthur, has for its purpose pushing
straight forward from Malolos along the
railroad and striking at Calumpit from
the south. The second one is under Mai
Gen. Lawton, who, with his flying column
is moving far around to the northeast to
the large town of Norzagay, from which
point he will turn abruptly west toward
Calumpit. This last move will take about
10 days, and military strategists look
upon it as another effort to flank the
insurgents by getting behind them al Ca
lumpit, similar to the flank movement
which Gen. acArthur attempted to ex-
ecute at Malabon.
This double operation makes Calumpit
the center for the next few days. while
attention will be divided between Mac
Arthur's column advancing from Malolos.
and Lawton's column on its 10 days
march by Norzagay. Macarthur has only
a short distance to traverse, that his
forces may be engaged with the main
force Of the insurgents within the next
few hours. The country is fiat and open
ANA rather better for our troops than
that lying south Of MalOlos. Columpit
lies on the left bank of a small stream,
at it's confluence with the large river Rio
Grandc. 1t is substantially built town
with some 1000 houses. The advance of
Gen. I.awton by circuitous route will
be over country of which little is
known here.
Norzagay is a considerable town and IL
il thought Gen. Lawton Is about there by
this time. a road runs an the way from
there to Calumpit. Along ii are scattered
many small towns--Angat, Bustos Bali
nog-indcating thai the advance is
through pOpulous country. 1t is an ag-
ricultural locality with extensive 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 Ma
lolos. II is hardly thought, however, that
Lawton will make junction with Mac
Arthur before striking Calumpit, but
rather that he will leave the road when
nearing Calumpit so to strike the city
in the rear while Macarthur is attacking
in front. The execution of this double
movement is being followed with great
interest by war department officials, as
it Is on a considerably larger scale than
the brush clearing which has recently
been in progress.

st. Paul. Nov. 4.-A1iss Julia Witt
graf was the victim of murderous
assault by Moritz Butler shortly be-
fore Z o'clock yesterday morning.
Meeting the girl at Wabasha and
Seventh streets. Butler fired four shots
from 32-caliber revolver ut so short
range that it seems little short Of
marvellous that only two of them took
effect in the body of the helpless young
woman. Miss Wittgaf fell uncon-
scious in the street and Butler was
about to fire upon her Il fifth time
when he was seized by Patrolnan
James White. Miss Wittgraf was
taken to the city hospital, where it is
said that she will recover. The cause
of the murderous attempt is not alto
gether clear either from the story of
the victim or the statements Of her as
sailant. Miss Wittgraf says that the
fellow persistently annoyed her with
his attentions without any encourage
ment from her. Butler, on the other
hand. said that the girl had obtained
from him nearly all his wages by her
preteEces of love for him.
