Williams and said he would go to work
in the Kansas field in a day or two. or
just as soon as he set the wheels of
Justice in motion, in behalf of Reese.
At the Jail yesterday evening Reese
stated with emphasis that the moment
he was released he would return to
the coal mine and repeat the act for
which he is now in jail. 1--WE hold
that we have done nothing which an
American citizen has not a perfect
right to do and we will not compromise
our position for any favor from the

HER THIRD HUSBAND DEAD.

Mysterious circumstances.

Houston, Tex, Dec. s.-Dr. George
A. Landlord, a native of Baltimore,
who has been a practicing physician
here for ten years, was shot and in
stantly killed last night by his wife.
They lived in beautiful suburban
home eight miles from Houston, and
no one was at the house at the time
except husband and wife and Mrs.
Landlords brother, Robert Boyce.
Neither will give any reason for the
shooting. Landlord is the third hus-
band of Mrs. Landlord. One was di-
vorced, and one was killed by her
brother. The shooting has created
quite sensation here. Mrs. Landlord
says that she knows nothing about it,
as her mind at the time was blank.

Rockport, Tex, Dec. 5.-Reports
from number of points on the gulf in
this section show that the damage to
property and loss of life by the recent
severe storm were much greater than
at first reported. A number of small
fishing crafts are missing, together
with their crews. Several thousand
head of sheep and hundreds of head of
cattle were driven into the gulf by the
storm and drowned. One ranchman,
George A. Brundrett, lost over 5000
head of sheep in this manner. In
Refugio and Arkansas counties there
was a terrific fall of hail. More than
700 head of cattle were killed by fall
ing hail in the vicinity of the town OF

AGREEMENT.
Causes Considerable Comment by

Paris. Dec. 2.-The Journal des De-

Anglo-German agreement as Mr.. Cham
berlain asserted, and adds that it
would be cruel and indecent upon the
part of Emperor William to accept the
acc1amations of the Dutch and visit
their queen if he had really signed
what is tantamount to the death de-
cree of the two South African repub-
lies. Emperor Williams visit to Hol-
land, the paper says, must mean that
he has not taken such an irrevoca BILE
step. The Liberte takes the matter
more seriously and urges France to
seek alliances, sin view of a Ger tain
eyentuality in, perhaps, the near

Washington, Dec. Capt. Leary,
the naval governor of the island of
Guam, wants an additional force of
marines. The few men he has at COM
mand now are but an insignificant
force compared with the 5000 popula-
ton of the island, and while there are
no signs of trouble just now it is re-
garded as the part of prudence to have a
sufficient force of marines at hand to
make any attempt at disorder helpless

rior is being vigorously pushed and the
American troops continue to drive back.

countered. Gen. Hughes reports from
central Panay that Iloilo province, one
third of the island, is cleared of in
surgents. By forced marches with
two battalions from Labuano, by way
of CaIinog, he obliged the enemy to
engage at Passi and drove him with
loss to the mountains in detached
bodies, capturing ten field pieces

cate Bayombong was captured on the

had several minor engagements, cap

at Zamboanga are satisfactory. Ma
tives from adjoining towns are visiting
in the city and native military bands

men with rifles, several Americans
and 20 Spanish prisoners, and the gar
rison at Bayombong. province of Neuva
Vizcaya, to Lieut.. Monroe, with so men
of the Fourth cavalry.
Interest Felt at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 2.-Considerable
interest is felt here in the news that
the insurgents at Bayombong have sur
rendered particularly as the number is
said to exceed that captured by the
United States troops at any one time.
Bayombong is the city to which Agui-
naldO at one time contemplated re-
treating for the purpose of locating
the rebel capital, after he was forced
to flee from Tarlac, but the American
troops pressed him so hard that he was
unable to carry out his intention.
Gen. Otis dispatch of yesterday repeat
ing information received from Gen.
Lawton said it indicated that Bayom-
bong had been captured on the 2Sth of
November, and it is thought this is the
same place referred to in the Manila
dispatch.
A Brave Incident of the Campaign.
Manila, Dec. Capt. Fowler's
march after Gen. Alejandrino's troops,
with one company of the Thirty-third
regiment, was one of the bravest in
cidents of the war. The company left
Dagupan alone under orders to locate
the enemy. Capt. Fowler had been
warned by the natives that he and his
men would be exterminated. The
guides deserted them before Manga
tarom was reached. ALI A1ejan drino's
artillery was focused upon the main
street, along which the Americans adj
vanced.
The guns were manned by Spaniards,
who said afterward that they fred over
the heads of the American, as they de-
sired that the latter should win, thus
hoping to gain their own freedom. In
the terrified temper of the insurgents,
who run at the sight of an American,
a single company might go anywhere
in the north now, according to Capt.
Fowler. No prisoners except officers
and civil leaders are retained by the
Americans. Their policy is to release
all others almost Immediately.
