Had to Face Twelve Thousand
of Enemy Strongly Entrenched

London, Dec. 19.-Gen. Methuens
report from Modder river shows that
he met with serious check Monday
and suffered great loss. The war office
has received the following dispatch
from him, dated Tuesday, Dec. 70;
"Our artillery shelled very strong

Washington, Dec. 13.-The secretary
of war regards the information con-

the most important that have come to
hand in months past. Most important
of the items is the capture of Mabini

was trying to make his way across
country from Banquet, where he had
been obliged to part company with
Aguinaldo, a fortnight ago, and was
endeavoring to reach the east coast Of

declare without reserve that Mabini
was the head and front of the insurrec-

But Louisville and Cleveland viii
Probably Be Dropped From

New York, Dec. 13.-The meeting of
the National league of base ball clubs
was continued today, and will prob
ably be in session until Saturday. The
Wrigley matter came up before the
board of directors, Messrs. Brush, Hart,
Robinson, Reach, Soden, Wagner and
Young, ana it was learned from what
seemed to be an authoritative source
that il is the intention of the board to
impose fine of $500 on the Brooklyn
Baltimore syndicate. In the course Of
the investigation today into the Wrig-
ley matter, President P. T. Powers Of
the Eastern league, Fred Knowles, rep
resenting the New York club, John NJ.
Ward, counsel for the Brooklyn club,
and Charles Ebbitts, president Of that
the board.
Another matter that was under dis
cussion today, was that brough: about
by the action of the Boston club, in
asking that the Brooklyn and Louis
vile homogeneous be punished for
transferring a postponed game from
Louisville without first getting the con-
sent of other league members. The
game in question was to have beer
played in Louisville on the last west
ern trip of the Brooklyn club, but ow-
ing to the wet grounds, 1t was trans
ferred to Brooklyn, and was played on
August u. Both Presidents Pulliam OF
Louisville and Ebbits Of Brooklyn were
summoned before the board and repri-
manded. 1t was at first proposed to fine
each club $1,000, burt later, it was re-
ported, the fine was rescinded.
Rumors regarding the proposed re-
duction Of the league, were numerous
and persistent today. 1t was said that
all hope of looping off four clubs had
been given up, but that the season will
open with 10 clubs in harness, Cleveland
and Louisville being the two clubs
which Il Is proposed to drop.
Buck Ewing, the late manager of the

Freedman told him he could come to
New York and have anything he want
ed, If the league was cut down to eight

MARCH IN PURSUIT
Crosses Mountain Ten Thousand
Feet High, Chasing Aggy

Manila, Dec. 1S, QO.50 p. m.)-The
following dispatch dated Cervantes,
December 5, has just been received
from a correspondent of the Associated
Press with Major March's battalion:
Major March, with Capts Jenkin-
son and Cunningham, Lieuts. Thomp-
kins, Kicker McClelland and Power
and 125 men, is about starting for Bon
toe, the principal town in the province
of that name to the northeast through
an absolutely desolate country and
over a mountain 10000 feet high. He is
pursuing Aguinaldo, whose escort, now
reduced TO 50 men, is known to be
there.
According to the natives, Aguinaldo
intends to disguise himself and to take
a circuitous trail toward Bayombong,
province Of Nueva Viscaya.
Major March, with 300 men, arrived
at Cervantes in the heart of the Tilad
mountains, on the evening of Decem-
Der 3, about 20 hours behind Aguinal-
do, who had believed he had found an
inaccessible refuge. On December 2, the
American commander had a wonderful
fight in oud-enVelOped mountain
pass 5000 feet above the sea, complete
ly routing Gen. Gregorio del Pillars
force Of 200 picked men, in a position
almost strong enough to rival Therm-
opylae.
Gen. Pillar died at the front Of his
men, urging them to make stand, I'M
til the ball of a sharpshooter pierced
his head. His followers tried to carry
away the body, but were compelled to
lay it down.
1.-TWO of the Americans were killed
and buried by their comrades where
they fell.
Gen. Conception with six officers,
who had deserted Aguinaldo, surren-
dered when Major March reached Cay
an, province of Lepante. On arriving at
Cervantes, Major March's battalion
was without food, except rice, and had
only a small supply of ammunition.
Major March secured five days rations,
made arrangements for his sick and
wounded, and, having chosen rs mount
ed and 100 unmounted men, resumed
the chase at daybreak today"
Mahini, former secretary of state in
the so-called Filipino government and
Aguinaldo S ablest adviser, although of
late withdrawn from official connection
with the insurrection, has been cap
tured by Gen. Macarthur near Ro-
sales. He will be brought to Manila.
Mabini has been the leader of the anti
American faction.

gents and Gen. Tirona reviewed the

ing theirs. Capt. McCalla has communi-
Gated with Maj. Batcheldor's battalion
of the Twenty fourth infantry, which
is now 80 miles south of APART and has
been enjoying a pleasant march. The
gunboats Princeton and Helena have

Prohibition National Convention
Will Be Held Next June

Chicago. Dec. 13.-The prohibition
national convention will be held in
Chicago on June 27 next year This
was decided at the meeting here today
of the national committee of the pro-
hibition party Twenty-six committee
men were present, representing 18
states The contest for the convention
was quite spirited.
The resignation of National Chair
man Samuel Dickie of Michigan was
accepted by the committee after con-
siderable discussion, and o. w. Stewart,
chairman of the Illinois state commit
tee was elected to the position. Ma
tional Secretary w. 7. Wardwell also
rendered his resignation but the COM
mittee refused to accept 1t.
Sharp debate occurred while the
questions of time and place of holding
the national convention were being
discussed. Committeeman Danner of
Ohio strongly condemned the anti-sa-
loon league of that state, claiming it
had done much to retard and injure
the prohibition cause in Ohio. Com
mitteeman Carscaden of West Virginia
and Committeeman Smith of Iowa
criticised President Mckinley and the
Methodist church committeeman.

toward the Modder river.
Il, today, am holding my position
and entrenchtng myself. I had to face
at least 10000 men. Our loss was great"
Gen. Methuen, as expected followed
up his artillery attack with a general
assault on the Boer positions Monday
and his report shows that the anxiety
OF the public regarding the result, oc-
casioned by the ominous silence of the
war office, was amply justified. The
engagement was evidently of consid-
cradle magnitude and the list of killed
and wounded will be proportionate
without a compensation which a VIC
tory would have brought, if indeed the
affair does not turn out to be a more
serious defeat than Gen. Methuen adj
mits. The Highlanders, 1t is believed
must have stormed the Boer position
more than once, while the fact that
the Guards were ordered to support the
H1ghlanders looks as though the Beers
may even have outfanked their attack
ers.
One report declares that Gen. Cronje
attacked the British, and the only com
pensation the British have been able to
discover is that Gen. Methuen main
tains his position close to the Beers,
thus arousing the hope that he will re-
Apparently the bombardment of Sat-
urday and Sunday did not shake the
Beers grip on the position and it seems
certain that they Immediately with
drew their forces while Gen. Methuen
INDUCED in the usual artillery prelim-
inaries Monday, and that when the
British guns were obliged to cease ow-
ing to the danger of hitting the ad-
vancing, troops, the Beers speedily re-
occupied their trenches and over
whelmed the Highlanders with q fer
rlole fire. probably accompanying this
by an attack on the British right flank
and rear
Alarm is expressed in many quarters
as to the situation Of Gen. Methuen.
AS the Westminster Gazette saws: off
England ever needed a victory. it is
now, and it is to Butler the soldier
strong, cool-headed and reticent. that
the country looks for this victory"
The other papers are abusing the gov
eminent for its complacent optimism
and Inability to grasp the strength Of
the opposition it has to overcoms in
South Africa.
Considerable significance attaches to
Gen. Methuen's statement that he is
entrenching himself, indicating fear
that the Beers may follow up their ad-
vantage, adopt the offensive and attack
him. Indeed the gravity of the stud
ton from the British point of view can
hardly be overestimated. Gen. Methu-
ems long lines of communication to De
Aar are most vulnerable Should they
be cut, he will find himself in a very
tight place if only from lack of sup
plies.
