Manila, July 26.-A force under
Captain McGrath of the Twenty
first infantry and Captain Elton
herd landed east of town, but found
a river intervening. Captain Me-
grath and Lieutenant BatsOn swan
the river under the fire from
twenty Mauser rifles. Having
crossed the stream, the officers pro-
cured a canoe to ferry the troops
over. The insurgents retreated
through the town, shooting from
houses aud bushes as they fed to
the hills. The three members of
the Washington regiment waded
from the cascoes through swamps
often shoulder deep, while a group
of Fillpinos concealed in hay stacks
were shooting at them, until the
Lapidan focused her six-pounder
and Calling guns upon the stacks
for a few minutes. Most of the
work was done before the Wash
ington volunteers could reach the
town. The Filipinos left three
dead. Of the casualties upon the
American side, two of the killed
and three of the wounded were
members of the Fourth cavalry
and two killed and eight wounded
belonged to the Twenty-frst in
fantry.
There was not much shooting
by Amigos, who emerged from the
bushes with white flags. After
the fight a dozen men holding W
their hands and shouting, "Castil-
lianos," met the American cayal-
ry. Even Spanish soldiers en-
braced the Americans Historically
There were fifty Spanish prisoner:

civil officials and some were sol
diers. They had been given tn,

SUSPIClONED FOUL PLAY.
A Careful Inve estIe alton by the NeIahbors
DIspeI the Idea.

DIspeI the Idea.
When the body of Jim Hulsey
was found in Caddo creek the other
day, where, as reported in the ARD
MOREITE, he had lost his life in an
effort to cross the stream when
swollen, the face and upper por-,
ton of the body bore evidence of
a nature, which led some to sus-
picion that the young man had
been foully dealt with. The face
and neck of the deceased's body
was in bruised and crushed con-
dition when found.
This caused some commotion in
the neighborhood and an investi-
cation followed. Not a thing,
however, was found in the least
bit tending to such horror. The
tracks of the mule where it entered
the water with its rider were plainly
visible, but no others, and the
same lone track showed where the
animal had reached the bank down
the stream.
1t has been concluded that ia
getting into deep water the mule
may have unseated the rider and
even kicked the man, which would
readily account for the jaw being
crushed and the neck bruised.
The condition of Mrs. Hulsey
which was so critical is slightly
improved.

Shamrock's Chances.

London, July 2S.-The Yacht
ing World issued today, contains
long article on the Shamrock 5
chances in the contests for Amer
ica's cup. Starting upon the as
sumption that the Vigilant and
Britannia were equal, the writer
argues that the Shamrock showed
herself to be able to beat the
Britannia in a moderate breeze, %
to 26 minutes over a 80 mile
course. With time allowance the
Shamrock's net superiority would
be ID to 20 minutes. As the De-
tenders superiority over the vigil
ant in sailing the same course is
estimated at six minutes, and the
Columbia's superiority over the
Defender is assumed to be three
minutes, according to the Yacht
ing Worlds articles, there are ex
cellent grounds for the belief that
in the present condition of both
yachts, the Shamrock will win.

THE COMPROMISE AsmY BILL

The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs has accepted the compromise bill
20 reoresnize the army. The bill as II
now stands provides for a regular army
not 10 exceed 6, 900 men and . force Of
volunteers not TO exceed $1,000 men. The
President is given discretion 10 enlist vol
unteers under the general law or from
localities in which their service may be re-
quired. II dispenses with citizenship or
educational qualifications as conditions OF
enlistment, thus opening the ranks to
natives Of our new island possessions. A
somewhat important provision in the con-
promise bill 10 the following: provided.
that such increase in the regular and vol
unteer forces shall continue in service
only during the necessity therefor. and
not later than July 1, 1901" This will
give q service Of two years TO ell who enlist
before the 1st. Of July Of the present year.
The bill carries the army over the pres
emit Presidential term and thus removes
the question Of increase Of the army from
the action Of the Congress which comes
into being on the 4th Of March. II the
island troubles calm down, as there is res-
son to expect, the President may not call
out the volunteer force the law authorizes.
II, however, IL shall be deemed necessary
TO increase the army beyond the $4,000
regulars, natives may be enlisted in is
lands where their services are necessary.
Under any probable conditions the volun-
teers now doing garrison duty in the Phil
ippines and elsewhere will soon be mus
tered out.
A Congress TO be elected In 1900 will
deal with the army question when IL comes
up again. The probabilities become more
and more apparent each day that the ex-
pansion policy 70 which the A~dministra-
tion 10 committed will be the leading issue
In the Presidential campaign Of 1900.
The attacks made upon that policy, in
Congress and out. will force that issue to
the front. II is fitting, therefore, that the
proposition 10 create . large standing
army should be submitted TO the people
for final determination. II the people vote
for an imperial policy with its army and
navy requirements, the responsibility will
rest with them.
