WASHINGTON, April 1.-War department
officials are very much gratifed at the con-
ditions existing in the Philippines. 1t Is
deduced from the dispatches received from
General Otis that there is little left of the
army of Aguinaldo and that his troops dc
not want to face the American soldiers.
1t is supposed that scouting parties OF
General Otis army have been moving about
from different points on the railroad line
and more especially from Malolos and have
encountered the few bands of natives which
Otis says retire upon the approach of the
American troops.
While the officials here would be glad tc
have information of the new campaign OF
General Otis, they are at present without
such knowledge and he has not been asked
to communicate his plans to the depart
ment. The utmost confidence is expressed
in his ability to handle the situation and
no attempt will be made to influence hin
from Washington. 1t is believed that Gen
eral Otis desires to ascertain now just where
the forces of the insurgents are located ant
in what number.
Rebels May Lie Under Cover.
1t is thought very probable that in the ad-
vance that has been made from Manila tC
Malolos the insurgents have not all retreatet
along the railroad track but have gone of
into the rough country to the right Of thu
railroad and may now be lying in walt tt
set upon small bodies OF American troops, o.
perhaps again destroy some of the bridges
on the railroad and for time cut off com
muncation between the advance of the
American army from Manila.
General Otis will take measures to pre-
vent anything OF the kind, and no doub
will ascertain the location and number o
the insurgents before making further ad
vance in pursuit of Aguinaldo and his flee
ing army. 1t is evident that while Genera
Otis reports everything "all quiet" h.
has had part of his army active in recon
noitering the country along the line Of rail
road by which he has been advancing.

AN EARLY MORNING FIGHT.
The Meeting and the Mixing Up of
Politician and a Bookmaker
With Knockout Results,

Politician met with bookmaker in a tug
of real red war at the corner of Ellis and
Powell streets early yesterday morning.
1t was a novelty in the way of modern
pugilism, as the affair went on from start
to finish without police interference, and
the bookmaker was doubly not in it. Con-
sequently there will be no complaint of
fake fight" and there will be no coin
to divide up by the principals on the
quiet.
The parties of the early morning meet
ing were James Neil and Phil Archibald,
both well known, around the racing cir
cult 1t was short and sharp, Few
warm words were spoken, several blows
We're exchanged and Archibald was
beaten down to the sidewalk:
1t was the result of an old quarrel be-
tween the two men which began about
four years ago, when Archibald was book
ing on the local tracks and Neil was clerk
ing in the Assembly. Archibald nad been
ruled off the track, accused of having
! been connected with some crooked work.
and Neil being close to the political
throne eventually succeeded in procuring
the diSgraced boOkkeeper'S reinstatement.
In return for some service he performed
for the racing association at Sacramento
they let Archibald return to the track.
Neil claims that the bookmaker promised
to help him in return against the day
when he would find politics no more lucra'
| tive, and that those promises were as
! piecrust when the politician was down
! and the bookmaker was up. Neil, luck
/ deserted, for about a year has been i'm
! portuning his one-time friend to lend him
a hand. but Archibald has disavowed any
! such obligation. Yesterday morning the
/ two men came face to face at Powell and
/ Ellis, and after a short discussion of the
! old dispute that part of the tenderloin
| was stained with gore. The nearest wit
ness of the battle was the proprietor of
/ a curbstone cook wagon, who acted as
| referee. For a few moments the two
/ men mixed matters in a dreadful disre-
gard for time" or "breakaway." They
| surged up and down the sidewalk and
! falling against the referees cooking We
| hicle almost wrecked it. The boOkmaker
! went down under the rapid blows of his
/ antagonist and the single-round fight
! ended with his being completely knocked
! out. No arrests were made and the two
! men were taken into the back room of the
( nearest saloon, where the blood of battle
was washed from their faces and the
! fighters, after shaking hands, hurried
homeMard in q couple of hacks.

long a stay, but consented that a week

Very WELL then" said District Attor-
ney Murphy, ~ consent that the case go
over a week, and suggest that the rea-

prosecuted the case against the convicted
murderess, had agreed to lend his as
sistance when the case came up in the
future. II wish to thank the gentleman
for his courtesy" said Judge Murphy, and

FREAK OF A DRUNKEN MAN.
John o'Brien Plays Havoc in a Meal
lister-Street Saloon, Where He
Used to Be Emploved.

John OBrien entered the saloon of
George w. Davis, McAllister street,
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning in a
drunken condition and wanted to fight the
bartender. Fitzgerald, because he had
taken O'Briens place. Fitzgerald got
him out and locked up the saloon while he
went to Davis house to tell him about
O'Brien'S conduct
After he had gone O'Brien smashed in
the glass panels of the door and entering
the saloon broke valuable screen in
pieces, overturned the stove and broke
open the cash register, stealing SO 50
that was in the drawer. Word was sent
to the Central police station and Police
man Meyler was detailed to arrest
O'Brien. O'Brien had jumped on Meal
lister street car going west, and as soon
as he saw Meyler he left the car and
ran into 100 McAllister street and up
stairs, followed by Meyler. There was a
transom at the top and O'Brien broke the
glass and was attempting to force his
way through to the establishment of a
woman who was in the room below, when
Meyler grabbed him and took him to the
City Prison, where he was booked for ma
licious mischief and burglary.

SCHOOLS ARE READY
FOR THE CHILDREN
WILL REOPEN TOMORROW AT
TER EXTENDED VACATION.
Consolidation of Glasses to Be Partly
Based on the Reports of Attend
ance During the Week.

The public schools will open tomorrow
morning after the Christmas holidays,
which were extended an extra week ow-
ing toethe mixed-up condition in which
the new Board of Education found the
department when it assumed control.
Coal and other supplies which were urg-
entity needed have been secured and dis
tributed where required, hence the pupils
will not suffer for such necessities.
The proposed consolidation of classes
will in a measure be based upon the re-
ports rendered by the principals of the
schools at the end of the forthcoming
week The Directors affirm they will not
determine until they have those reports
as to how many classes will be consoli-
dated or what changes will be made in
the department. The retiring board left
matters so badly mixed that it will take
bers and place the department on proper
footing. 1t is not expected that many
changes will be announced at the next
meeting as the Directors have not as yet
formulated their plans
cureIy tied up by the two injunctions Sc
cured against it, one by the teachers and
another by the merchants who are it's
creditors. Until these have been dis
solved no money can be paid from the
school funds, either for salaries or for
supplies.
1t is expected compromise will be eff
fected by the parties in interest shortly
which will tend to clear the situation and
give the teachers an idea as to when they
will again commence to draw pay for the
work they are doing in the schools Some
believe their November and December
salaries are hopelessly lost to them, al
though the organized teachers are still
fighting for them.
