the Minnesota regiment and one of
the Orcgonians, who were hurt in YES

meantime making extensive recon-
noissances.
After half an hours firing, Wheaton
and his entire staff. with Funston, led
four companies of the Kansas men
over an open field, charging with

crossed by Wheaton's brigade, under
heavy fire in the afternoon. The
bridge had been partly destroyed.
Two companies of the Kansas vol

retreated toward San Tomas, a mile
west, and captured some of the fugi-
tives.
The main body of the Filipinos re-
treated a mile to a strong natural po-
sition east of the railway station.
Wheaton's brigade advanced to this
position, where the enemy made a
good stand. Part of the Americans
assembled in the freight house and di.

Mercedes Coming North,

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May s.--The for
mer Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes,
which was sunk in the channel of
Santiago harbor during the lombard
ment by Admiral SIMPSONS feet on
July s, and which was recently raised,
pumped out and brought to this city
for repairs, left her mornings yester-
day and was towed to the center of
the harbor in readiness to start for
Newport News as soon as the towboat
arrives. Some practical navigators
predict a repetition of the disaster
which befell the ~Infanta Maria Teresa
while on her way north, if rough
weather should be encountered, but
the Reina Mercedes looks as if she
were seaworthy.

CRAGlN TALKS ABOUT CANAL
Concessions for All Things for All Time

Concessions for All Things for All Time
-Zelaya VIII Code No Land.
WASHINGTON, May Cone Of tn.
leading men on the Nicaraguan canal
syndicate is Edward L. Cragin of New
York. The Nicaragua canal syndicate
has absorbed the Maritime
of which ex-senator Warner Miller OF
New York was the prominent figure.
Mr.. Cragin is now here fresh from a
visit to Nicaragua. He had this to saw
about his company:
lone syndicate has obtained the
fullest concessions from the Nicaragua
government, concessions that are good
for all time. Tho canal is to be built
and operated exactly after the lines OF
the Suez canal; it is to remain open
under all conditions, a waterway for
all the nations of the world. During
our war with Spain the Suez canal
gave free ingress and egress to our
ships and to those of the enemy, so
that there was no advantage to either.
1.-THE stories that have appeared Of
late in the newspapers to the effect
that the Nicaraguun government was
unfriendly to the United States are
pure fiction. President Zelaya is one
of the most clear-headed, conservative
and prudent statesmen l ever knew,
aud he is a firm friend of this country.
He is DESTROYS OF seeing the canal con-
structed, knowing it will be of i'm.
menso advantage to his republic. but
ever to secure the canal he would not
favor the cession Of twenty miles on
either side thereof to the United
States or any other power. When it
m to parting with it's soil the
Nicaraguan government would no
consent than government
would to the surrender Of tho territory

Detailed reports of the work Of Ma
jor General Lawton's expedition show
that harder fighting took place during
the early part Of this week than ear
Tier accounts indicated. In the attack
upon San Rafael the American forces
were met with a heavy fire from a
large number Of rebels who were con-
cealed in the jungle on all sides. 1t

approached the town. The chief of

Balinag ahead Of the army and rang
the church bells to that
they had possession Of the city. A
Bolo chief and 100 men were captured
here. Lawton has released slauy of
his prisoners.
General Lawton, when attacking in
force outside of Balinag, saw women
and children III the rebel trenches and
sent CAPTAIN Case in advance with a
white flag to warn the insurgents to
remove the non-combatants. When
within 500 yards Of the trenches two
volleys were fred at Captain Cases

Chief Scout Young, whose bravery
ut Balinag was most notable, served
ns an Indian scout under Major Gen
eral o. O. Howard in his campaign in
the Northwest in 1876. Tho work of
Young's scouts was a feature of the
expedition. Last Wednesday twenty
three of Young's men encountered a
body of 900 Filipinos beyond Balinag
and drove them until the scouts had
only fifteen rounds left Of the $50 car
ried. They were about to retire when
Lieutenant Boyd, with a troop Of the
Fourth cavalry, came up with them
and chased the enemy into San
Miguel.
There are 1000 Spanish prisoners in
the hands Of the Filipinos at San
Miguel. They are served with five
cents worth Of rice daily, and are
compelled to work hard upon the
rebel defenses. Several hundred of
the Filipino wounded are ut San Mig
