Toledo, o., Oct. 11.-Rev. w. L.
woodward, one of the most prominent
ministers of the Disciples church in
Ohio, last night preached farewell
sermon to his congregation at Oak Har-
Dor and then took his own life.
In his sermon he stated that it was
his final address and he invited the con-
gregation to call on him at his home
after the meeting. A large number of
people went to the parsonage and spent
the remainder of the evening. About 10
O'Clock Mr. Woodward told his friends
it was time for them to depart.
Before the last of the guests had
reached the gate the report Of a pistol
rang out and on breaking into the house
the minister was found with bullet
hole through the heart. Mr. Woodward
was married, having child, but his
family was away from home at the

sas, and party, who went out in a tug
to meet her.
Brig. Gen. Funston was the passen-
ger mast eagerly sought for. Owing to
the rough condition of the sea it was
impossible to get very extended inter-
view with him.
Gen. Funston said he was in, excellent
health. He had little to say about the
conditions in the Philippines beyond ex-
pressing the opinion that the warSwould
soon be ended. He spoke in high terms
of the good work done by the men of
his command. He was glad to get back
to the United States. though he did not
regret the time and energy expended in
the attempt to subdue the Filipinos,
which he was confident would ultimate
ly prove successful.
The Tartar had twenty sick soldiers
abroad. sixteen of whom belonged to
the Kansas regiment.

that the dismembering' of the body was
the work of an Italian midwife, and

Many theories We're exploded yester-

were proved of no Importance. Three
persons arrested We're thought by some

FUNSTON A SOCIAL LION.
Kansas Colonelis "a Great Favorite Mt
Yokohama.


Yokohama. Sept. 25.-via San Fran
CISCO Oct. 1.-Correspondence of the
Associated Press: The Twentieth Kan
sas regiment has come and gone, adj
ding materially to the very favorable
impression made by all the American
troops which have passed through here
on their homeward way.
The one man who was the center of
attraction has, of course, been Gen.
Funston. His modest bearing and
strong personality have made him as
great favorite among the citizens as
he manifestly is among the men of his
own regiment.
The Newport on Its homeward pas
sage had on board large contingent
of discharged soldiers. These men,
finding that they outnumbered the rest
of the passengers and filled with an
overwhelming sense of their acquired
citizenship. carried things with a high
hand. Dissatisfied with their accom-
modations, they practically took pos
session of the ship and driving the Off
GERS from their quarters, installed
themselves therein. On arriving at
Nagasaki Consul Harris. being ap-
prised of the affair, went on board with
four Japanese policemen and arrested
the ringleader of the mutineers.
Work has been begun on the trans
port Morgan City, which was wrecked
in the Inland sea. The whole of the
mail sunk, 1000 bags in all. has been
forwarded to Manila. Examination of
the vessel shows a large hole about
fifteen feet in length high up near the
water line. AS it lies in a high spot the

Washington, Oct. 11.-Otis cables an

bridge Geary, of the Thirteenth infan-
try. He died at 8 this morning at San
Francisco de Malabon from wounds re-
ceived in reconnaissance toward Bue-
ma Vista yesterday.
San Francisco de Melabon, Oct. IL
Schwan's column, while approaching
this town, marched through country
SO muddy that the mules all collapsed.
He occupied the town without resist
ance. Later, while accommodating in
force southwark, Schwan came upon
trenches where hidden insurgents
poured several shots upon the general
and staff. The rebels resisted stub
bornly. Reconnaissance, consisting of a
battalion of the Thirteenth and two
surgents two miles, fighting all the
way. They captured twenty-five insur-
gents, including three officers. Many
Filipino dead were strewn along the
fields. The American loss was one off,
Ger and seven men wounded. Schwan's s
main column started at daylight this
morning along fearful road on the left
bank of the river, fiankers being
thrown far out. Maj. Budds battalions
on the right bank covered the flank,
rendering the fire from the insurgent
trenches ineffective. Budd returned to
Santa Cruz before dark. The natives
seem to be generally supporters of the
insurrection. but few have arms. There
was much firing at the American SOL
diers from native huts. Schwan spent
the night at Malabon.

A General Advance.

Washington, Oct. 11.-A general ad-
vance along the lines is indicated by Of
ficial and press dispatches from Manila.
This is also the understanding at the
war department, and the expectation is
that there will be some heavy fighting
within the next few days.
According to statements made at the
war department no more towns are to
be taken and then abandoned. 1t is pro-
posed to make the advance permanent.
With the additional force which arrived
during the rainy season and others to
follow Gen. Corbin said that there
would be sudicient number of troops
available to garrison towns as rapidly
as they are taken and still leave for
midable force for continuing the on
ward movement.
Dispatches received, and not made
public, show that both Generals Law
ton and Macarthur are moving north
ward, the purpose being to get control
of the two railroads and the important
towns as far northward as possible.
Eventually, 1t is proposed to send an
expedition by water to Lingayen, so as
to flank the enemy. Meanwhile the di-
visions under both Lawton and Mac
Arthur will push northward as far as
possible.
1t is this northward movement that
probably accounts for Gen. Schwan's S
appearance in the field at the head of a
column. He had been assigned to duty
as chief of staff. and the war Depart
ment authorities were congratulating
themselves that Gen. Otis would leave
to him the detail administrative work
and thus be free to grasp the important
work which properly belongs to COM
mander in chief.
Without knowing definitely what
brought about this sudden change in
Gen. Schwans duties, the authorities,
reading between the lines of the dis
patches received. conclude that the
withdrawal of Gen. Young from the
south to join Gems. Macarthur and
Lawton in the movement northward re-
suited In renewed activity among the
insurgents south of Manila, and caused
Gen. Otis to assign Gen. Schwan to
command for the purpose of re-enforc-
ing Gen. Grant.
Considerable comment was created in
naval circles as a result of dispatch
received from Rear Admiral Watson
announcing that col. Elliott, with 300
marines, at request of Gen. Otis, at
tackled insurgents outside Noveleta,
carried outposts and town. while Gen.
Schwan took Old Cavite and ap-
preached Noveleta at right angles"
In his dispatch to the war depart
ment the only mention made of the
marines by Gen. Otis was that they

same time. Naval officers charge that
-. - III. y
the credit for the capture of Noveleta
is due to the army. and they are COM
pairing the fighting with the capture of
Iloilo, which was occupied by sailors,
though Gen. Miller was given the credit
for the capture.
From a navy standpoint, Gen. OTIS
action in minimizing the work of the
marines Is severely criticised and it is
regarded as an indication that the most
harmonious relations by the army and
navy do not exist
