The Advance is Made in Two Columns
Commanded by General wheeler
and Colonel He'll Insure
gents Fight Weakly.

Manila, Sept. 20. II a. m.-By Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The movement against
Porac. which began at daybreak this
morning, was conducted personally by
General Macarthur, Wheeler with the
Ninth regiment and a battery advanc-
ing by two roads, while Wheaton com
manding the Twelfth and Seventeenth
regiments, moved to block the insurg-
ents from retreating north. The Thir-
ty-sixth accompanies McArihur. FIR
inr began near Angeles. Two Filipino
majors came into the American lire
last night, with messages regarding
the american prisoners who were to
arrive this morning. They requested
permission for general Alejanderino' S
entrance into the American lines at
noon Friday. On account of todav's
fight .Alejanderino alone will be allowed
to visit Otis.
The attacking party moved on Porac
in two columns. The Ninth infantry,
with two guns from Santa Rita, com
manded by Wheeler, and the Thirty
sixth infantry, under Colonel Bell with
one gun, accompanied Macarthur from
San Antonio. Both columns struck the
town at Q o'clock and opened brisk
fire, which was replied to by Tie ene-
my for half an hour. Then the .nsurg-
ents fled and the Americans marched

A. G. SMITH RESIGNS.
Deputy Secretary or state VIII SO Out

ct
f, Des Moinss. Sept. c. Smith.
deputy secretary OF state, has resigned,
to take effect Oct. L. Mr.. Smith is
owner osf the Storm Lake PilotTribune,
and since Storm Lake became a rail
road center and commercial emporium
that's what they call it in the boom
editions up there now--his business
has been demanding his entire atten-
ton. Secretary Dohson did not like
to have him leave, but AR. Smith iw-
sisted and Mr.. Dobson finally consent
ed. d. A. Hites. for a long time com
missioner of the. state land office, will
succeed him.
Mr.. Smith is entitled to the compli-
ment of being called one of the most
competent men who ever occupied this
position, and there has been good deal
of quiet talk that he may be candi-
date for secretary to succeed Mr.. Dob
son. His withdrawal from the deputy
ship. however. leaves it probable that
he will not undertake to remain any
longer in office, although it may be
taken for granted that he will continue
in politics. He couldn't break out with
a jimmie. He has been in politics all
his life. ever. since before he was of
age, and in office a good share OF the
time.
