STORY OF THE FIGHT.
Supported by the Thirteenth regiment and the
Twenty third regulars the Astor battery led the
column. The Utah battery's guns were too heavy to
mcYe through the swamps. The route Of march was
along the River Pasg, where the fleet could give no
assistance At the jurcture of the Cngaor road the
vanguard came without warning upon a strong Span
ish intrenchment. The enemy raised a heavy fire

the time Wounding of others. Sergeant
Creemans after he shot, started to his gum

battery forced to fall back from the murderous
fire, temporarily leaving two guns. But, under
mand of Col Gvenshine, the reserves UP

with increased vigor. The Spaniards then
speedily put to flight
The Spanish loss estimated at not less than
200 including killed and wounded, and in the neigh
horlood of G000 captured. Vast stores of military
and naval supplies seized. The casualties to
the Americans were all the land side Not Of

SPRING VILE MANS GOOD JOKE
HELD UP FOUR MEN JUST FOR
FUN.
Was Arrested Fer Robbery, Placed
Under Bonds and Now Cannot See
Where the Joke Comes In.
Especial TO The Herald.l

Springville, Utah, March 15.-As a re
suit of an attempted practical joke last
night, Al Clark, a son of one of this
city's leading farmers, is under bonds
in the sum of $500 to appear next Mon
day morning for examination on a
charge of highway robbery. The joke
has become serious. Last night shortly
after 10 o'clock four young men, OF FL
field, Martin Diamond Marcellus Chase
and Tom Fuller, were coming along
State street, near Judge Berrier's resi-
dence, when they were stopped and
held up by a lone highwayman. They
contributed 81 in silver, after which
they were told to git" which they
did
Chase and Fuller thought they recog-
nized the man, and after getting Mar
shal Gernmell, went to Clarks resi-
dence and accused him. He at once ad-
mitted that he was the man, and said it
was all a joke, and that he intended to
return the money in the morning
Clark was arrested this morning, and
County Attorney Evans and Sheriff
Storrs were sent for this afternoon,
complaint being sworn out and Clark
was released on bonds In defense
Clark states that he had left home

We're On the street when the wrong men
came along, and he proposed that the
joke be sprung on them. His compan-
ions then took to their heels in alarm
and he carried out his intention.
The affair created a great sensation
here, and much speculation is indulged
in as to the outcome. Three of the vic
tins of the hold-up are disposed to
treat the matter as a joke. The county
attorney thought it had gone so far
that some action was necessary on the
charge of highway robbery.
Clark is a married man and has one
child. While he has been considered a
wild boy, there is nothing in his past
record to indicate that ne is a vicious
character No motive for a crime OF
this nature on his part is apparent He
strongly asserts his innocence, and de-

Platform Endorses Gold Standard anc
MCKINLEY Administration.

Providence, R. l., March 15-The an
nual convention of the Republican
party of Rhode Island was held here
today. Governor Dyer of Providence
and other state officers were unani-
mously renominated.
The platform referred to the currency
question and other national issues as
follows:
The unexampled abundance of
money in all parts of the country is a
complete refutation to the contention
that an easy financial condition can be
secured only by debasing the monetary
standard, a triumphant issue.
Never in history were more splendid
achievements won and grander oppor-
tundties opened at so little cost of life
and treasure as in the war with Spain.
America has suddenly become one of the
dominant powers of the earth. Her
voice must be heard in the council of
