back and Private Samuels of Com

slightly wounded in the face.
The bullet passed through Roven-
berger's wrist and entered his mouth
between the gum and cheek without
injuring his head. There were other
miraculous escapes, as the men ad-
vanced amid perfect hail of bullets
The severity of the engagement may be
Judged by the fact that the Eighteenth
Regiment alone fired 60 800 rounds. 1t
is estimated that the insurgents with
their more than 1000 rifles fired more
than cur total of ammunition.
Private Biehl was brought in badly
wounded and gave warning to hurry

men were short. He then returned TO

would probably have resulted in the

GENERAL MILLER BEATS
PANAY ISLAND REBELS

LOILO, March II, via Manila. March
2O.-A battalion of the Eighteenth
Infantry, platoon of the Sixth Ar
L tilIery and machine gun battery
made a reconnaissance in the direc-
ton of Mandurrioa and Santa Barbara
yesterday. While they We're returning

on the right.
Although fatigued from marching IN

command proceeded to the assistance
of their comrades, the artillery pouring

who were strongly intrenched and in
large force.
Companies c, H and K Of the Eight
eanth deployed to the right, driving the
insurgents back, and then wheeling to
the left made q juncture with Compa-
MES B and I. A heavy engagement en-
sued. Companies B. c. NJ and of the
Tennessee Volunteers, Major Cheat
ham commanding, arrived later and
formed on the left, and two more COM
panies of the Eighteenth marched from
Iloilo to act as a support to the other
troops. Colonel Van ValZah and Major
Keller commanded the battaIions of the
Eighteenth Regiment.
General Miller was on the scene early
and directed operations from tmme-
diately behind the fighting line. He
had several narrow escapes. The line
advanced by rushes for 5000 yards un-
der a hot fire, pouring in deliberate vol
leys upon the enemy's position, the ar
tillery making good practice. BY the
time the American forces were within
800 yards Of the enemy-s 1naI position
darkness fell. preventing the charge,
for which the Tennessee men and the
companies of the Eighteenth on the
right had already prepared by fixing
bayonets. Our retirement upon Jaro
was accomplished in GOOD order.
The engagement was brought on by
the enemy's persistent attacks upon our
outpost at Jaro bridge. Nothing could
be gained by forcing the enemy back
farther, as it was impossible with our
limited number Of troops to hold the
position. The American troops were
exhausted by fighting and having to
wade knee deep through rice fields and
sugar cane. There were several cases
of prOstration by heat.

Father at Hutchinson,
Kansas.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HUTCHINSON, Kans, March 20
An atrocious crime was revealed here
to-day when the Coroner and his as
sistants removed the dead bodies OF
five little children from the house oc-
cupied by John Moore, which burned at
an early hour. A Coroner's jury inves-
tigated the case, and in accordance
with the tury's recommendation Moore.

rested on a charge OF murder. The
tragedy has caused much excitement
here and there is some talk of lynching
the prisoner. However, lynchlng is
not looked for.
When the firemen and neighbors
reached the burning house the father
was the only member of the family OF
seven found outside. His actions were
queer and he would not talk. While
the building was still burning and his
children were within the burning walls
he took a horse from his stable and
rode away.
When the firemen entered the house.
after having partly quenched the
flames, they found the five children ly-

dead but not badly burned. The dead
were: Carl, aged u; Mary. aged 10;
Pearl, aged s; Charles. aged Z. and Lee.
aged 8.
The Coroner's autopsy, held this af-
ternoon, developed convincing evidence
of an awful crime. The skull of each
child was deeply indented and from the
dents long fractures extended All but
one of the children had been stabbed
in the neck. The throat of the little
3-year-old boy, pretty boy, had been

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March
N 2o.-The American line
steamship Paris, Captain Freder-
ick Watkins, with the party OF
American excursionists tour
ing in West Indian waters, sailed
at 6 O'Clock this evening. John
Sherman is worse, and is not
likely to survive the night.
The United States cruiser Chi
cago has not arrived, but it is
supposed she will meet the Paris
at Santiago de Cuba.
The Paris will probably touch
first at Guantanamo. She left in
structions for the Chicago to fol-
low with all haste.
The hot weather has greatly
weakened Mr.. Sherman, and hia
doctors feel that unless a change
for the better comes. very quickly
all hope must be abandoned.

1t was upon these facts and the
strange behavior of the father that the
authorities base their charge of muir

When Moore was called before the
Coroner's jury to testify he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
caused the fire and that his children
