CABLE FROM
 GENERAL OTIS Informs Washington of Victory
 at CaIOOcan YET NO NEWS FROM |LO|[O May be Several Days Before Gen. Miller is Heard From. NO NEGOTIATIONS WITH NATIVES Until They Have Disarmed and Return-
 ed to Their Homes.
Until They Have Disarmed and Return-
 ed to Their Homes.
ENEMY's STRONGHOLD REDUCED
Aguinaldo's Forces Had Collected at Caloocan, and McArthur's Division Was Sent to Route Them Out.
 American Loss Was Slight.

Washington, February 1o-Up to the close of office hours today General Otis sent no news to the war department indicating any further conflicts with the natives. He had a few casualties to report, and he gave notice to the department that he had been obliged to buy large number of horses to supply the transportation needed owing to the lengthening of the American lines.
 The same state of anairs still holds good with respect to the instructions of General Otis. Again Secretary Alger said this after noon that he had not sent any instructions since the beginning of hostilities, and would send none. He fully expects that General Otis will make terms with Aguinaldo walle the latter Is armed and that a condi- ton precedent to dealing with him at all is the return of the insurgents to their homes and the surrender of their arms. Ger tainly General Otis is not expected to now take any action that will amount to a rec ognitlon of the insurgents as a foe -e treated with on the basis of an independent nation.
 No News From IloiIo
 There was also an absence of news from Iloilo, and there Is reason to believe that it will be several days before anything is heard from that point of interest.
 The following dispatch from General Otis was received tonight:
 Manila, February 10.-Adjutant General, Washington: Insurgents collected consid- erable force between Manila and Caloocan, where Aguinaldo is reported to be, and threatened attack and uprising in the city This afternoon swung left of McArthur's division which is north of Pasig river, into CaIoocan, driving enemy easily. Our left now at Caloocan. Our loss slight; that of insurgents considerable. Particulars in the morning. Attack preceded by one half hours firing from two of Admiral Dewey's vessels.

Unusual Precautions Were Taken By
 the Americans.

Manila, February 10.-3:40 p. m.-In antic- ipation of native uprising in this. city, unusual precautions were taken here last night by the American military authorities. Fortunately the steps proved unnecessary. The Filipinos are evidently convinced that an uprising would prove suicidal to them.
 The yiscayan commissioners arrested on board the Uranus sailed for Iloilo yesterday with the Tennessee regiment on board the United States transport St. Paul.

BOTH ARE COURAGEOUS MEN
And It is Thought That More Trouble
 Will EDSua.
EACH FILED NUMEROUS CHARGES
Nonenity, and Accuses Him of Drunkenness on Duty-Both of
 Prominent Families.

Anniston, February 1o.-(speciaL)-A big row is on between Colonel David G. Colson and Lieutenant Ed Scott. of the Fourth Kentucky, which is to be mustered out here tomorrow.
 When and how it started cannot be def intely ascertained, but it has been on for some time and has been growing until now 1t has reached very serious proportions. Lieutenant Scott has figured in a couple of courtmartials and was also re-examined recently as to his ability, efficiency and fit ness to hold office by board, which rec commended his dismissal. He went to Wash ington, however, and had this finding oyer- ruled.
 Lieutenant Scott ascribes his trouble to son also indorsed his discharge papers services not good and faithful"
 Filed Charges Against Coison
 Lieutenant Scott on yesterday filed charges against Colonel Coson with tie military authorities here and sent copies to Colonel Colson and to the war depart ment, alleging that Colonel Colson embez- zlea government funds, melted the men of the regiment to deeds of riot, lawlessness and disorder against the people of Anniston when part of them were mustered out, with drunkenness on duty and with failing to stop an orgie of commissioned officers of the regiment in camp, in which firearms were freely used and when he was present.
 These charges have caused great deal of excitement in the regiment in the city and especially among the friends of the two men.
 CoIson Writes a Card
 Colonel Colston is out in two column card this afternoon making very serious charges against Scott, among them that he is Accustomed to telling stories in bar rooms for drinks and that his associates are almost entirely among the vicious and criminal classes"
 Scott will have a card in the morning paper charging Colonel Colston with being a congressional nonenity, and with malic- iously falsifying. Since the regiment is to be mustered out tomorrow it is too late for a military inquiry, but it is thought that the mastering out will only give them an opportunity for a personal settlement of the affair. Both men are known to be fearless and serious trouble is anticipated.
 Colson is congressman from the Elev- enth Kentucky district and Scott is prominent young attorney in Lexington and nephew of Governor Bradley.

CORNISH AGAIN TESTIFIES

 neauX Of the Crime.
LATTER SOMEWHAT OF A CHEMIST
The Manner in Which the Poison Was Prepared Caused Cornish to Think ofMolineaux-HeD Denies Con-
 nection With the Case.

New York, February 10.-The two men whose names have been most intimately connected with the death of Mrs Kate J. Adams were on the witness stand today before Coroner Hart and jury and were put through a rigid cross examination by Assistant District Attorney Osborne, who is conducting the case. Harry s. Cornish who gave the poison to Mrs. Adams was the first witness called this morning and at the afternoon session R. B. Molineaux who had been named by Cornish on the stand as the man he believed to have sent the poison through the mails, was called.
 Cornish was again today somewhat reti- cent and equivocal in his answers to ques- tions put to him by the assistant district attorney and in one instance at least, oc- casioned good deal of surprise. In an in terview with number of newspaper re- porters previous to the commencement of the examination Cornish when asked if he knew Mrs. MolineauX and if she could have any connection with the case said that he wished the assistant district attorney would ask him that question on the stand.
 "A man is supposed to perjure himself for woman,' said Cornish, but I am here to tell the truth if they ask me such question"

THE N. C. A. LEFT OUT.
The BODY Will Not Be Recognized
at the Worlds Meet.

Montreal. Aug. S.-The N C. A. will not
De recognized by the l. c. A. At least
that is the dictum of Mr.. Henry Sturmey.
Secretary Of the l. C. A., who arrived here
yesterday to attend the worlds
meet. When questioned as to what
were the chances of the N. c.
A men racing at the worlds
meet Mr.. Sturmey replied emphatically
None. The /. c. A. can recognize only one
association in each country, and until the
racing men in the United States and the
l.. A. W. does not, we will recog-
nize the latter. In the meantime the af-
Inflated body will receive the support of
the international association"
PRESIDENT Keenan,, of the L. A w, who
is also here, is very emphatic about the
n. c. a. He said:
The formation Of this association was
from purely selfish motives and this very
tact Will result in their downfall They
nave so FAR lived on misrepresentation
People are beginning to recognize their
true value, and as result things are not
running so smoothly in the camp. The
L. A. W. does not depend for support on the
racing men, but in the interests of sport
II is necessary that they should control the
racers, lest scandals creep in You will
tiidl IiSils SOOH Inc better part OF
these men will be applying for reinstate-
ment in our body. Most OF the racing men
in the outlaws are has beens' and there is
not one of them that Major Taylor could
not give five seconds to win a mile and
beat him out. They are now making a
sort of dying effort, but it will not avail
and collapse will soon come
Mr.. Batchelder of the N C. A, who Is
also here, is apparently not worrying very
much whether the !. c. A recognizes the
N c. a. He said that the ~ C.
A. would make no formal application to
the !. c. A. for recognition and 1t was for
the latter body to decide how it pleased
If the n. G. A. riders came on to the meet
it would not doubt add greatly TO its sue
cess, but they We're not worrying about
what the /. c. A. would do.
The worlds bicycle meet was opened by
big masquerade parade last night. which
was witnessed by thousands of spectators.

The effort of the Postoffice Department to
establish rural free delivery is meeting
with success all over the country. Last
April the experiment Of free delivery by
postal wagon in the rural districts of
Carroll county, Nd. was tried and has
proved great success. The new service
has been most satisfactory and Superin
tendent of Free Delivery Machen now has
under consideration an extension of the
system over the entire country.
Th postal wagon in Carroll county, Md,
makes daily trip of thirty miles, touch
ing at Warfieldsburg, Bale, Dennings.
Long, Crawford's Store, Taylorsville, Win
field, Gist. klees' Mill, Bird Hill, Small
wood, and Fenley.4 While thus taking in
large area of territory 1t does not cover
more than fifth Of the county. 1t is now
proposed to put into operation three or
four additional pos toffices on wheels" and
with the aid Of probably twenty or thirty
mail carriers, who will meet the wagon
at certain points delivering to and collect
ing from the wagon, cover the entire
country.
These travelling postoffices will have all
the convenienceS of well-eQuipped post
office. II successful in it's larger field it is
believed the system will wholly supersede
the star route" system, which, it is said
VIII be considerable saving of expense
to the Government.
The wagon now in operation is in charge
OF Horace G. Reese, OF Westminster. He
was the assistant OF Edwin W. Shriver,
who Is still in the employ of the Govern
ment. Mr.. Shriver is making drawings OF
the routes over which the additional wag-
ons will make their daily trips. 1t is ex-
pected that everything will be in readiness
by January 1. Carroll county was selected
for the experiment because of its diversi-
ned topography. 1t was thought if the ex-
pertinent was successful here it would nee
essarily be SO in any part of the country
When Mr. Shriver, Of Westminster, first
submitted his plan to the Government its
feasibility was appreciated and every sup
port was given TO him to develop the prac-
teal idea 1t proved a success from the
very start, and the experiment has been
carefully watched throughout the United
States.

A Church Boycott on kipling.

Charlottesville, Ind, Aug. s.-Rudyard
Kipling has been boycotted by the Sunday
school of the First M. E. church of Craw-
fordsville. Some time ago the Sunday
school purchased number of new books
for its library from Methodist publishers
Of Cincinnati, and as these books came
from what was regarded as the fountain
head of pure literature, little attention
was paid to several volumes that were
thrown in for good measure. Among these
was Kipling's Drums of the Fore and
Aft which finally came into the family
of a man who declared that it was fairly
reeking with profanity and the most out
rageous slang. Fortifying himself with
numerous quotations, he went before the
Sunday school authorities and as a result
Kipling's books were taken out of the H.
brary.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.
A Confu.ion of Rids.

Admiral Endicott, Chief of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks of the Navy Department, is consider
ing the possible necessity of submitting to the
legal officers of the department the bids opened
last Saturday for the construction of dry dock
at the League Island navy yard. 1t is thought
that this may be necessary because the confusion
in conditions submitted by bidders makes it ex-
tremely difficult to determine which is actually
the lowest bid. 1t appears now that the con-
tract should be awarded either to the Atlantic,
Gulf and Pacific Company, whose bid was $780,.
600, or to the firm of Curtis & Driscoll, whose
bid, according to the firms own Interpretation
of the conditions, is $780, 600. The confusion as
to the Interpretation of certain of the condi-
tions, however, has prevented an absolute de-
cision in the matter.

The balloon Ascension Tomorrow.

The balloon ascension made by Miss May Eve
ritt, Of the Grace Shannon Balloon Company, at
River View Sunday, one of the most COM
plete exhibitions of the kind that has ever taken
place in the vicinity of Washington. The wealth
er was favorable, and the big gas bag, with
Miss Everitt hanging TO the parachute ring below
it, assembled TO an elevation of about 1000 feet
before the parachute was cut loose. For about
ten seconds, which seemed like minutes the
parachute and the young girl dropped like
stone when the big umbrella-like affair opened
and she settled slowly to the earih falling into
the river channel about 200 yards south of the
View wharf. She was quickly picked up by a
boat that was in waiting and brought to the
shore and was warmly cheered as she came ashore
So successful the ascension that Captain
Randall, in order to give the ladies and children
a chance TO see it, has arranged to have Miss
Everitt repeat the ascension tomorrow evening. at
4:30 O'Clock. She will go as high as the balloon
will take her and may land in the river or on
