Manila, Oct. 16.-General Schwan's
expedition, having accomplished its OBJ
ject, the troops are all returning TO
their former positions, abandoning the

General Schawn Is en- route from
Peres Desmarimas to f.nus with the
infantry, while the artillery and cav
airy and all mule teams arc retracing
their route from Malabon to Bacoor,
with the signal corps removing the
wires. Genreal Trias, with the organ
lied bodies of insurgents, retreated to
Silang and Indian, at the base OF the
mountain.
In Cavite province, the scene Of the
hottest fights and their great successes
over tho Spaniards the Filipinos might
have been expected to make q resolute
stand, II anywhere, bnt after their
whippings ut Cavite Viejo and Move
leta, their tactics consisted chiefly in
continuous exhibition of their agility
ard their transformation from warriors
to amigos.
The marines, while reconnoitering
about the scene of Sundays encounter,
find that the trenches have been already
reoccupied, although the enemy mani
tested more than their usual willing
ness TO retreat before the Americans.
At Malabon, the Americans corralled
200 or 800 natives, supposed to be
fighting men. A few of them were
caught with arms in their hands, but
large numbers were found in hiding,
dressed in khaki, like the American
uniform. A majority of them were ~
the garb of amigos, but they are sus-
pected Of shooting at the troops from
houses, growing habit, which -four
ished throughout the advance whenever
small parties of Americans strayed
from the main body, The prisoners
are white elephant on the hands OF
the Americans.

New York, Oct. 18.-The New
York Yacht Club, which has the man
agement of the cup races, is the prin-
cipal financial sufferer by the failures.
The officers say that each attempt to
race cost the club 5000. This in
cludes the club steamboat, the half
dozen tugs, and the incidental ex-
penses. 1t will be seen that the club
has thus far expended $2l,000 in the
attempts to pull off one race. 1t must
expend at least SO, 900 more, inasmuch
as one yacht must win three times.
The seven fukes have cost probably not
far from $4,000, which has come
put of the pockets of the people who
wanted to see the yachts meet.

and Mrs. Brooks together in the house.

bullets entered Mrs. Brooks abdomen,
perforating the intestines and lodging
against the hip bone. DR.. Carl ex-
tracted the bullet, but says the woman
cannot live. Freeman was arrested
this afternoon, charged with assault
upon the woman, and was bound over
to the circuit court.
Brooks says he found Mrs. Brooks
younger sister in the front room with
Pat Freeman, and in the rear room
found his wife and Frank Freeman.
He fired four shots, two hitting the

he has been carrying a pistol for a
month, expecting to return home at
midnight and find Freeman with his
wife, but he did not muster enough
courage to return until last night.
