ADVANCE AT CALULET.
Insurgents Again Routed With
Slight Damage to Our Men.

Manila, Aug 17.-8 a. m-The
Twelfth infantry left Calulet at sunrise
today and advanced up the railway.
Captain Evans battalion deployed to
the right of the track and Captain
Woods to the left. Two companies re-
mained on the track with the artillery.
The insurgents were found well en-
trenched in front of the town, the
trenches having been dug within few
days and since the occupation of Cal
uet
At a distance of 1900 yards the Fill
pino opened fire. Their force was es-
timated by Col Smith at 1,5OO, although
the residents afterwards said it exceed
ed those figures by a thousand
The enemy sent heavy voleys against
the whole American line. Most of their
shooting, as usual, was high, but they
concentrated their heaviest fire down
the track upon the artillery.
Col. Smith kept the whole line NOV
ing rapidly, with frequent rushes. The
insurgents attempted to flank Capt.
Evans, and therefore two companies
We're sent to the right and drove them
back
Unable to stand our continuous vol
leys the Filipinos abandoned the
trenches and retreated through the
town northward. 1t appears that they

attacked sooner they could have made
little resistance.
The intense heat caused much suffer-
ing among the Americans.
A reporter of the Manila Times who
was accompanying Colonel Smith, was
shot in the head, probably fatally. One
American officer received a slight
wound in the face.
Lieutenant Howland, of General
Wheaton's staff, who knew the country
thoroughly, as the result of reconnais-
sances, and who assisted in directing the
movement, received volley while rid
ing across a field close to the trenches,
but he escaped unharmed.
FILIPINOS ATTACK ANGELES.
Manila, Aug. 17.-6:15 p. m.-Eight
hundred insurgents attacked Angeles
this morning but the Twelfth regiment
drove them into the mountains Three
ditched locomotives were captured.
None of the American troops was in
jured.
The insurgent loss is not known.
Mr.. c. T. Spencer of Kentucky, a re-
porter of the Manila Times, was killed
yesterday during the fight.

Promised to Cattlemen For Two
or Three Years.
Kansas Will Market 100000
Head of Stock
AT BETTER FIGURES
Than the Good Ones Which Now
Prevail.
The Demand For Export Cattle
Is Enormous.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Record says:
Investigation at the stock yards in re-
gard to the recent advances in the
price of beef brought out the statement
that never before in the history of the
American cattle market has there been
such a demand for all kinds Of meat as
at the present time. The demand for
export cattle is enormous. The state
ment is made that the prices OF all cat
tie will be higher next year than they
are noEy but that in three years when
all the thousands Of feeders find their
way into market there is likely to be
a slump in the price of from to 3
cents.
This year Kansas has 300. 600 head OF
cattle which is a record breaker for
that state. The big ranches in Mon
tana, Wyoming and North and South
Dakota are sending in few cattle at
present. Most benefited by the in
crease in prices IS the stock raiser. At
present everything costs more alive
than formerly, making it necessary for
the packers to advance the prices on
all dressed meats. The prices quoted
a pound for best straight beef in the
whole carcass and 141a cents a pound
for loins and ribs when together in
even SETS One lot of go barrels of the
latter was sold at 1515 cents a pound.
All other meats have been more or less
affected. Prices have gone up in pork,
mutton, veal and all dried and smoked
meats

destroyed and there have been other
enormous losses. Two-thirds of the in
habitants are without shelter and a
famine is threatened.
At Corozal one hundred and fifteen
houses were wrecked like shells and
only a dozen houses and outside walls
of churches built of masonry two feet
thick remain standing. The poor are
crying for bread but none is forthcom-
ing as all the others are in almost the
same circumstances. Leading mer-
chants estimate the losses in stores
and in the crops of coffee, sugar and
fruit for the next three years at fully

TIE Rise IN BEEF.
A Prominent Packer Says the Cause
Is Due to Australian Competition.


New York, Aug IA representative
of the firm of Nelson Morris & Co,
when asked as to the cause of the rise
in the price of beef, said to World
reporter:
"The advance here is caused by the
efforts of American packers to drive
Australian beef from the English mar
kets and establish American beef in
stead. we want that business and in
order to secure it we are shipping i'm
mense quantities of beef to England.
Just now this business abroad is be-
ing carried on at a heavy loss because
we are cutting prices to kill competi-
tiOn.
THE consequence is that the ex-
portatiOn of American beef is very
much heavier than ever before. Natur-
ally under these conditions there is less
beef for the home trade, although there
are as many cattle for the market as
ever.
There is no real shortage in market
able cattle, all reports to the contrary
yards in Kansas City, Omaha and Chi
cago yesterday were large.
The foreign demand being extra
heavy, as have explained, the prices
to cattle dealers as we'll as to butchers
are high The packers are not reaping
shipments to the cattle yards may ease
the strain a little but I do not look for
lower prices.
''The remedy for complaining butch
ers is simple. They must raise prices.
have not heard any complaints from
consumers. The butchers are complain
ing and they must work out their sal
walton by getting more money Tor their
beef
''They must get together and keep
vance if they really want to protect
themselves

New York, Aug. IA Herald dis
patch from San Juan says:
Communication has now been re-
stored in the direction of Ponce. as far
as Caguas The whole country has
been devastated.
In every section the hurricane de-
stroyed all the towns and villages. The
people whose homes were destroyed
are wandering about seeking food and
shelter.
In the towns the stencil Of the decay
ing bodies under the ruins of homes
and buildings is almost un-
bearable. In Yabucca, both of the gov
ernment physicians were caught in the
Wreckage and wounded.
The town will be set on fire in order
that an epidemic may be avoided.
DR.. Altman of Arecibo writes that up
to August 13 no assistance of any kind
had reached there. There is an almost
unbearable stencil and unless aid comes
within a few days he declares there
must follow a fearful epidemic. It is
certain that there are many bodies Iy
ing in a state of putrifaction under the
ruins, but it is impossible to find labor
ers to clean up the town.
At Ponce there has been a public pro-
test against the mayor and he has
been forced to resign.
Reports from Naguabo, Coroza1.
Aguadala, Commerce and Guayanilla
are that these towns have been de-
stroyed and that the municipalities are
without the means to relieve distress.
San Juan, too, is threatened with an
epidemic. The captain of an incoming
steamer reports that Is miles off and
drifting shoreward there are innumer-
able bodies of human beings and cattle,
mingled indiscriminateIy with wreck
age of houses. The town of Maunobo
has been completely demolished. The
highest ruin left stands only two feet
above the ground. There were many
casualties from the flooding of the riv-
er, 100 persons, many of them children,
having been drowned.
Comerio is a total ruin. The hurricane
lasted there for Il hours. Half the pop
ulation is gathered in the only build
ing left standing. There were very
heavy rains and in the flood that fol-
lowed the water rose to a great height
and swept through the town carrying
away the supplies of provisions. The
quantity left will not last mbre than
four days.
The people have fed to the noun

water. No aid has been sent as yet.
Thirty bodies have been recovered. Five
hundred persons were injured. Utuado

WANTS HIS CHILDREN.
Daniel Fry Sues to Recover Them
From Orphans Home.


Daniel O. Fry has begun a tabeas
corpus action in the probate court
through his attorney, L. H. Greenwood
against the officers of the Topeka or
phans home, to secure possession of
his four children, who are at present in
the home.
Mr.. Fry is a laboring man and he has
been absent in the southern part of the
state much of the time for the past
year, working at odd jobs He says
that his wife took the children to the
home about six weeks ago and left
them with the understanding that they
should be adopted if they were not
claimed at the end of three months
Mr. Fry says that he now has steady
work with the Santa Fe and is able to
support his family once more, so he
wants to gather them together He
went to the home and asked for the
children, but the officers would not
give them up until he pays for their
board, which amounts to upwards of
$50 He admitted that he ought to pay
the board bill and would pay a portion
of it each month out of his wages, but
he did not get the children, and now he
brings habeas corpus proceedings to
get them.
Judge Dolman asked why the case
was not brought in the district court
as long as Judge Hazen is in the city
but Mr.. Greenwood stated that Judge
Hazen viii not hear any cases at pres
ent, so it was necessary to go into pro
bate court

BRUTAL ASSAULTS
Made on Five White Women of
Little Rock, Ark.

Little Rock, Ark. Aug. 17.-Five
brutal assaults by a negro on white
women have occurred in Little Rock
in the past twenty-four hours. 1t is
generally believed that all these crimes
were committed by the same negro,
but three suspects have been arrested,
and if the right man can be positively
identified he may receive summary
punishment. The victims of the as
saults are all highly respected white
women of the city. Their names are;
Mrs. Belle Aiken, 2114 Chester street;
Mrs. Milton Young, 2401 State street;
Mrs. Kennedy, FOurteenth and Jones
streets; Emma Coy Long, 1902
Booker street; a young lady at Twen-
tieth and Cross streets.
All the assaults took place in the
suburbs of the city. The first was that
of Mrs. Aiken. AS. Mrs. Aiken was
passing by Twenty-hrst and High
streets the negro seized her and drag
ged her into the woods. She resisted
and cried for help. A passerby fright
ened the negro away after he had
severely beaten his victim. Officers at
once began a search for the assailant
but failed to find him.
A few blocks frolA the scene Of the
first crime, Mrs. Young was assaulted
in almost the same manner. The negro
knocked her down with such force that
a rib was broken, causing internal in
jurieS of a serious nature. He chOked
and beat her about the head and on
the side, 1n111cC1nS very serious injuries
The negro finally seized her purse and
disappeared in the woods. Mrs. Young,
who is a frai1 woman, is in a precar-
ious condition from her wounds and
the shock. Her clothing was torn al
most entirely off in the struggle.
An hour later Mrs. Kennedy was at
tackled at her home near West End
park She was knocked down, beaten
and choked. Her child ran for assist
ance and the negro fled. Mrs. Ken
nedy's injuries are very painful.
Emma Long Coy, the 11-year-old
daughter of a grocer. was attacked and
beaten by a negro half a dozen blocks
from West End park. She escaped
from her assailant. City and county
officers, together with a large number
of citizens, were by this time securing
the vicinity for the negro. The greatest
excitement prevailed and tie anger of
the citizens in the neighbOrhood was
thoroughly aroused.
The fifth assault was made on a. we'll
Cross streets. She was likewise knock
ed down and badly beaten. Her face
was swollen and discolored from the
effects of the blows.
These outrageS were brought to the
attention of Governor JONES' and he
at once offered a reward of 81 500 each
for the arrest and conviction of the
guilty parties. Judging from the temper
of public sentiment the officers will find
it difficult to protect their prisoner
should the right man be captured.

AGAINST TAX DODGING.
New Law Is Creating Some Uneasi-
ness.

The attorney general is receiving
many inquiries concerning the opera
tion of the law passed by the last leg
islature concerning the assessment OF
personal property, many county attOr-
neys apparently being undecided as to
the terms and provisions of the stat-
ute.
The new statute simply provides that
property taken into county after the
first of March and prior to the first of
September, whether it be merchandise,
cattle or other goods and chattels, is
subject to assessment in that county
unless the owner thereof makes oath
and produces evidences that the prop
erty is assessed in another county OF
the state.
This law is aimed at the tax dodgers
who at assessment time moves his
property from one county to another.
Vigilance on the part Of assessors will
at this time under the new law increase
the balance raised from taxation in the
various county treasures.

REED WAS NOISY.
sergenat Donovan Arrested Him For
Disturbing the Peace.

r. Reed made a mistake Wednesday
night in thinking that there were no
policeman on hand. He was disturbing
the peace on East Third street several
blocks from the beat of any patrol
man.
Sergeant Donovan, who was taking a
rest at home after his days work,
heard the disturbance. The air was
blue or nearly so. The officer pulled on
his coat and followed the sound. He
arrested Reed against his protests and
took him to the station where he put
up a bond to appear and answer to the
charge of disturbing the peace and
quiet of the neighborhood.

state and should be deposited in the
treasury department to the credit of
the insurance department.
There is no law requiring that the
money should be turned into the treas
ury. The regular fees for licenses,
transactions of an official nature are
to be turned into the treasury. The
superintendent of insurance is empow-
cred to cause examinations of COM
panies to be made at any time he may
see fit. The custom has been for the
representatives of the Kansas depart
ment to charge the fees charged by
other states. However, the law does
money shall be disposed of after it is
collected. Hence the examiners have
been in the habit of putting it down
in their pockets.
Governor Stanley explains that the
law is weak and Indifferent and sug-
gests that the legislature should enact
a law fixing the pay of insurance ex-
aminerS. Senator A. G. Forney intro
duced such a bill in the senate last
winter but it was killed by the Repub-
Hcans in the committee under the
claim that the law was unnecessary
because there would be no more road
agents. sent out by the department.
Senator Forney's appropriation bills
were threatened too if he pushed that
bill and it was killed. But, since the
credit would have gone to the Popuiists.
this proposed law, like many others, was
killed.
Superintendent Church and Mr.
Stanley do not agree upon the Ques-
tions involved in this matter Mr.
Church says there is no law requiring
the money to be turned into the treas
ury and claims that he has violated no
law.
Mr.. Stanley says that it is a matter
of public policy that the money should
go into the treasury
