ANOTHER BATTLE IN MANILA
AMERICANS CAPTURED A FORT.

Has Begun at Manila-Another small
Attack-Admiral Watson H..

Manila. Sept. 3.-Argogula, the most
impreenable stronghold OF the bands
which have been destroying planta-
lions and levying tribute on the people
Of Neoros. was taken by the Sixth infan-
trv under Lieutenant Colonel Byrne, The
only means of reaching the town was up
an almost perpendicular hill, covered with
dense shrubbery and a thousand feet high.
The Americans accomplished this under
fire. although an officer and several men
we're hit and rocks were rolled down ON
them. The nativestrength was estimated
at 400. Many of the rebels were wounded
and captured and 81 were killed.
The American forces captured a guam
titv of stores and destroyed the fortiica-
tons.
The shipping commissioner at Manila, a
Filipino hitherto in high standing, has
been arrested, charged with appropriating
a half months salary and levying month
" thereafter an assessment from all the
native sailors shipped from this port. 1t
is represented that he held commission
in the insurgent army and was raising
funds for the instruction, but it Is
thought that his operations were merely
private blackmail.
The insurgents made an unsuccessful
attempt to drive Colonel Smiths com
mand out of Angeles with artillery, the
first time they have attempted to use
this arm for months. They brought two
Krupp guns from Porac and fired eight
shrapnels at the town at dawn. Only a
few of the shells exploded and the aim
of the gunners being bad no damage was
done. Lieutenant Kenney's guns of the
First artillery were brought into action
Immediately and soon drove the enemy
from their position.

Dreyfus Trial.

Rennes, Sept. 3.-Elation is the only
word that expresses the feelings of the
Dreyfusards after Saturdays proceedings.
The tide has turned at last, they say, and
Dreyfus cannot be condemned after the
evidence given. The spirits of the Drey-
fusards are quite mercurial. Every day
since the opening of the trial has seen
them rise OF fall Recently they have been
falling heavily, the close of the morning
sessions generally finding them in anx-
ious conversation, accompanied by omin-
GUS shaking of their heads. Today 5
buoyancy, therefore, is all the more note
worthy. Friday was a fairly good day,
but Saturdays session, they claim, put
the verdict out of doubt and the judges
must acquit Dreyfus.

Shnm War in Germany.

Berlin, Sept. 3,-The army maneuvers,
which will begin today and end Septem-
Der 18th, will be of more than usual in
terest and Importance. The operations
will be conducted on the same grounds
and largely patterned after the Napol-
comic campaign of 1905. Half the troops
engaged, the Fifteenth corps, will ap,
proach the opposing forces, the Sixteenth
corps, by forced marches through the
Black forest passes. After striking the
plains the corps will operate along both
sides of the river. The decisive action will
probably occur in Wurtemburg, between
Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. Big reviews
at Carlsruhe, Strasburg and elsewhere will
precede the maneuvers. Emperor Will
lam strongly hopes to see some strategic
surprises.
A noteworthy feature of the maneuvers
will be the presence of a number of dis
tinguished military men from other couu-
tries.

THE MILLS ADAMS CO.
BIG BLACKMAIL PLOT.
Alleged Attempt to Obtain $26O,OOO
From a Wealthy Chicagoan.

Chicago, March 13.-The police believe
they have unearthed the most gigantic
scheme to levy blackmail in the history
of the city. Prominent lawyers and one
of the greatest merchants in America
are involved, and disclosures of a SEN
SatiOnal character are expected.
few days ago Frank H. Cooper, of
the firm of Siegel, Cooper & Co., was
arrested in a place conducted by the
widow Of one of the foremost hOrSemen
and gamblers in the United States. The
arrest was suppressed, and the matter
had apparently blown over, but since
then Cooper has informed Chief of De
tectives Colleran that his incarceration
him.
According to the story Cooper told,
the alleged blackmailers had laid a trap
for him and then offered to let him off
on payment Of the sum mentioned.
On the strength of COoper'S story the
police today arrested two attorneys,
named ErO and SchOenfeld, and an ele-
waited railway employee named William
Feeney.
Captain Colleran declares that many
prominent business men and attorneys
and number of eX-detectiVeS and eX-
cOnstables are implicated in the plot,
and that number of men. the publica-
ton of whose names would cause a SEN
sation, were victims of the alleged
blackmailers, who, it is said, were ma
terially aided up photographers who
skilfully made pictures of the victims in
conn promising positions.
