SURPRISED THE FILIpINos.
They Did Not Believe Our Soldiers Would
Invade the swamps to Fight Them
Young's Troops Accupy Arayat.

Manila, Oct. 13.-Gen. Young, with
two battalions of the Twenty-fourth
infantry, left Santa Ana at seven
O'Clock yesterday morning and occu-
pied Arayat at nine, after a skirmish
lasting half an hour. The enemy, esti-
mated at 800 men, retreated toward
Magellan. The swampy character of
the country prevented the use of cav
airy. The men of the Twenty-fourth
charged the trenches. The enemy set
the town on fire and succeeded in burn
ing a small section. Five dead and
three wounded Filipinos were left on
the field. The Americans had one man
wounded.
Gen. Schwan's expedition having &C
complished its object, the troops are all
returning to their former positions s,
abandoning the towns taken. Gen.
Schwan is en- route from Perez das
Marinas to linus with the infantry,
while the artillery and cavalry and all
mule teams are retracing their route
from Malabon to Bacoor, with the
signal corps removing the wires. Gen.
Trias, with the organized. bodies of in
surgents, retreated to Slang and
Indang, at the base of the mountain.
The movement of United States
troops was a fine display of American
generalship and energy, while the
Fnipinos adopted what Gen. Alejan-
drino terms ''our peculiar method of
warfare
The whole country is an immense
swamp and the Filipinos never expect
ed that the Americans could or would
attempt to invade it during the wet
season. Moreover, the line of march
furnished a succession of surprises, the
advancing troops being generally at
tackled from unexpected points.
In Cavite province, the scene of the
hottest fights and their greatest sue
cesses over the Spaniards, the Filipinos
might have been expected to make a
resolute stand, if anywhere, but after
their whippings at Cavite, Viejo and
Noveleta their tactics consisted chiefly
in a continuous exhibition of their
agility and their transformation from
warriors to amigos.

ON IMMIGRATION.
Commission and Thinks 1t Not Desir-
able to Shut Out Foreigners.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Dr. J. II.
Senner, former United States commits
sioner of immigration at the port of
New York, was before the industrial
commission for several hours yester-
day. He based his remarks largely
upon the agitation against immigra-
ton and proceeded to show that from
his standpoint it was not justified.
He argued that the present law is
amply sufficient and took strong
ground against the Lodge bill, con-
tending that there had been marked
falling off in immigration in the past
few years. A better distribution of
immigrants throughout the country,
DR.. Senner considered desirable, but
upon the whole he felt confident that
the country had not yet arrived at the
point at which it was desired to shut
out foreign immigration.

ENL1sTING MACABEBEs.
Otis Has Secured Two Companies of These
Peculiar Natives to Fight the Tagals,
Their Enemies.

Washington, Oct 13.-The adjutant
general has received a dispatch from
Gen. Otis which shows that he has not
only employed number of natives of
the Philippines to patrol the streets of
Manila, but that he has organized sew
eral companies of Macabebes for scout
ing purposes. They are performing
excellent work in the rivers and swamps
On the north and east coast of Laguna
3e Bay, arresting robbers and securing
rifles. Their boats are the only trans
portation required. The Macabebes
are almost identical with the Igor
Otes. They are very wild and I'M
civilized, but it is said that they are
very bitter towards the Filipinos,
which accounts for their willingness to
serve as scouts for the American troops.
They are, as a rule, armed either with
huge clubs or with bows and arrows,
but tits likely that they will be fur
nished with rifles, such as are used by
our troops in the field.

THE PHILIPPINE PURCHASE.
Judge Day Sets Forth the Reason Which
Animated the Peace Commissioners
in Allowing Spain S2O.OOO,OOO.

Columbus, O.. Oct. 12.-The first pub
lie utterance of Judge William K. Day,
who was president of the American
peace commission, concerning the de-
alterations of the commissioners at
Paris, is contained in a letter written
to former Congressman Watson, OF
this city, and read by him at a republic
an meeting in this city last night.
Judge Day sets forth the reasons
which. in his mind, justified the pay
me Mt of $40, 600, 600 for the Philippines,
declaring that it was never commended
by the American commissioners that
the United States had right to the
Philippines as a matter of conquest
by the cession of the islands for a
consideration we obtained an indis-
putable title which must be respected
by all nations" The judge says also
that in his opinion by conceding the
payment of the $40, 900, 900 for the is
lands it was effectual in bringing about
the treaty of peace; otherwise the nego-
tiations would have failed.
