ATTACKED BY MUSKRATS.
Strange Story Told by a Police
Operator of South Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct 3O.-Bleeding from a
score of wounds, ]. j. Geraghty, a po-
lice operator in South Chicago, to-day
reached his home and told strange
story of an attack on himself and dog
by a horde of muskrats in the swamp
along the Calumet River.
Geraghty entered the swamp early
this morning to hunt for reed birds.
His dog, a Gordon setter, accompanied
him. Shortly after noon he started
homeward. Suddenly the furious bark
ing of his dog startled him, and ne
ran to find the animal literally covered
with muskrats, who were fighting des-
perately, biting and squealing like mad.
They nipped at the dogs eyes, ana
caught his tongue in their sharp teeth-
He seemed almost helpless, ana
Geraghty fired his shotgun at the httle
army of rodents which came scamper'
ing to the scene, hoping to scare the
ones which were fast killing his dog.
He moved down dozens of the musk
rats, without appreciably decreasing
their numbers. The dog at last sue
numbered, and the reinforcements, num-
bering hundreds, Geraghty says, turned
their attention to him.
They climbed through my clothes IN
no time and bit me savagely," said the
operator in telling the story, and the
only thing that saved my life was the
arrival of couple of hunters, VINO
ran in with clubs and beat the little
fellows off,
Geraghty's story is corroborated by
the hunters who rescued him. Musk
rats in portions of the swamp are
known to be numerous, and OCCASION
ally belligerent, but this is said to be
the first instance where they have at
tackled a man in any force.

Mohun, formerly United States Consul
at Zanzibar, who is commanding the

pedition, has reached the Congo Free
State, and was engaged at the end OF
July in a fierce battle at Zangui, where

Shortly after the attack commenced

soldiers to assist Mohun, and the enc

ernor of the island has been obliged to
adopt heroic measures to insure a
proper administration of affairs there.
Captain Leary soon learned that mis-
authority as Governor was being sub
verted, and every one of the measures
of reform which he proposed was being
defeated by the hostile influence of the
friars. They resisted every decree, no
matter of what character, from a spirit
of intense conservatism and a belief
that any disturbances of the order of
things which had governed the island
for SO many years would cause them
to lose their hold upon the natives.
After exhausting all other means to
overcome this influence, Captain Leary
reports that he was obliged TO notify
half a dozen of the friars that they
might have free transportation away
from Guam, and he should expect them
to avail themselves of the offer. That
left but one friar on the island, and ne
was a man whose character and repu-
tation was such as to convince Captain
Leary of his fitness to remain.

MANILA, Oct 31.-S:50 a. m.-Major
Balances battalion of the Twenty-sec-
ond Infantry entered Cabanatuan yes
terday, meeting with no resistance. The
natives welcomed the Americans,
shouting viva Los Americanos. The
insurgent troops had fled to the noun
tains.
General Bates will be appointed Mil
itary Governor of the Mohammedan
Islands, with headquarters at Jolo, un-
til Zamboanga is occupied. General
Fred Grant will command General
Bates brigade.
1905 o. m-The Spanish commission,
which entered the insurgent lines
month ago with money to relieve fhe
wants of several thousand military and
civil Spanish prisoners, returned TO
Angeles to-day. The Commissioners
report that they spent most OF the Tune
in Tarlac and vicinity, where there are
some 2, 700 sick Spaniards in the hos
pital The Filipinos illtreat and ILL
feed them, refusing to surrender them,
as we'll as the other Spanish prisoners,
in the hope of compelling Spain to re-
cognize the independence of the Island.
From Tarlac to Bamban, about two
thirds of the way, the Commissioners
travelled by train on the Manila-Dagu-
pan railway. The remainder of the
journey from Bamban to Angeles they
made on foot, escorted by handsomely
mounted Filipino cavalry. They were
received between the OutpostS by a
member of General MacArthur's staff,
and were brought by train to Manila.
There are fourteen American prison.
ers, they say, at Tarlac, all of whom
are well treated. Lieutenant Gilmore,
who fell into the hands of the insur-
gents at Baler, on the east coast Of
Luzon, last April, where the Yorktown
had gone on a special mission to re-
lieve the Spanish garrison, is at Bin
gat.
The Commissioners have brought
letter TO General Otis from q relative
of the murdered General Lima, who
wishes to avenge the assassination by
Aguinaldo's officers, and who asks
personal interview with the Military
Governor. According to the Commis-
sioners' statement Aguinaldo, who is
still at Tarlac with 5000 troops, wishes
to continue the war, although he has
a high opinion of the American officers
and soldiers. General Lawton he calls
"El General de la Noche" 0he night
GeneraD, because that commander has
attacked him so often in the darkness
that he never knows when to look for
him.
Aguinaldo is said to be we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition, and he is
able to get plenty of rice from the
northern provinces.
With the Spanish Commissioners
came a large number of women, the
families of those prominent officers Of
the Filipino army, who recently ap-
piled to General Otis for permission to
send their families to Manila.
Upon the receipt of the military Gov
ernors reply, the nature of which has
not been disclosed, the women and
children started under escort from Tar
lac for the American lines. When they
arrived to-day General Macarthur
compelled them to halt about a mile
beyond our outposts, where they viii
remain while their credentials are being
examined.
