COMMANDING GENERALS REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The follow

tive to the fighting near San Fernando,
was received this morning:

ing.
cat 10 O'Clock a. m. his forces had
driven the enemy five miles in the di-
rection of Angeles.
Casualties few. An attack was or
dered for the 7th instant, hut the rain
did not permit the movement.
Railways from Angeles north are
badly washed out blythe unprecedented
food of the last six weeks, and the
damage is beyond the ability of the in
surgents to repair. OTIS"
DEPARTMENT NOT SATISFIED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-General
Otis's dispatch is not altogether salts
factory to the war department officials.
He.ssys nothing, for instance about
the losses of the enemy, and the likeli- |
hood of their regathering or of the |
ability of the American troops to hold |
the ground taken.
He says the road is 80 badly washed |
out that the insurgents will not be able |
to repair it. Will the Americans be |
able to take it aud put it in repair?
These and other questions, perhaps,
were suggested by the dispatch AID I'm |
less supplementary message should be |
received soon, an interrogative tele- |
gram may be forwarded to General |
Otis, who will be reminded that the |
war department and the public take |
more than a perfunctory interest in an !
important engagement in the Phili- |
pines.
AMERICANS STILL ADVANCING.
MANILA, Aug. 9.-The American |
casualties at the battle near San Fer
nando number forty.
General Macarthur continued to

tonight. The advance will be contin
ued at daylight.
During his advance this morning Nc
Arthur captured the town of Calulut
and then continued toward Angeles.
The enemy retrested in good order, but
lost heavily.
From San Fernando to Calulut the
enemy sturdily opposed the American
advance, and it required steady and
hard fighting at times to make the Fill
ipinos give up ground.

SHAFTER ON CUBAN WAR.
Writes to the Rev. C. o. Brown, Thank
ing Him For a Speech to Third
Ohio Cavalry.

Chicago, Sept. 11-Genera1 Shafter
has written to the Rev C o. Brown of
Chicago thanking DR.. Brown for an ad-
dress made by him at the Third Ohio
Cavalry reunion in Toledo recently, in
which DR.. Brown defended General
Skaters conduct of the Santiago cam
paign and answered a previous critic
ism by General Sherwood. Incidentally
General Shafter makes some interest
ing statements about the war in Cuba.
The letter follows;
Headquarters Department of Cali
fornia, San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 81
The Rev. c. o. Brown, Chicago: re-
ceived the Toledo Blade containing a
report of your speech in reply to some
animadversionS upon me by General
Sherwood.
I can not tell you. my dear sir, how
much 1 appreciate this action on your
Z have forborne to answer any of my
traduceTs or critics because I would not
stoop to defend a campaign which Ibe-
lieve is, as you said, without parallel
in the history of modern warfare.
wish to call your attention to the fact
that that army was hastily gathered
and almost unprepared, sailed 1,500
miles, landed on a hostile shore in open
ships boats, and within ten days drove
the enemy back to his intrenchments
and to the City of Santiago, and in
fifteen days from the time of their
landing compelled the surrender of an
army of $4,000 men to one containing
less than 20, 900 men. During that cam
paign there was not for a single, minute
a dollars worth of the property Of the
United States, nor the person of an
American soldier, either dead or alive,
in the hands of the enemy.
Furthermore, this campaign was
conducted during the sickliest season
of the year in Cuba, and it is the only
expedition that ever has gone from a
temperate zone to any of the islands
of the Caribbean sea that has not met
with absolute disaster, with the single
exception of that of the English in 1852,
who succeeded in capturing the City of
Havana, but with the loss of nearly
left the colonies of New York, Connect
cut, and Rhode Island to assist the
British in this expedition fully nine
tenths periShed. Of the 400 men who
left the colony of New York but forty
five returned alive.
"I can only judge the nature of Gen
eral SherWood's criticism by your re-
marks, and that is that I was not on
the firing line. The spirit of this ac-
fire the entire time but I was not on
the firing line in the ordinary accepta-
ton of the term. I had no business
| there and would have been of no SER
| vice there had been there.
Il hope 1 may have the pleasure OF
meeting you again when 1 am next in
| Chicago, and as an old townsman OF
native county of Kalamazoo. where
know you have many warm friends) ]
shall be glad indeed to meet you
| Thanking you again, am, sir, very
sincerely yours,

FOURTEEN TIMES Welded

CFrom the Atlanta constitutional
Queer matrimonial records have been
discovered in Indiana. One of the most
remarkable of these is the fourteenth
marriage of Aunt Polly Owens, of
White River township, Hamilton
Mississippi valley multi-marriage
belt She is only fifty years
of age, and looks as though she might
outlive a dozen more husbands Aunt
Polly was married the first time when
she was Is years old, and was left a
widow two years later. Since then she
has averaged a new husband every
two years. She has procured eight or
nine divorces. The rest of her hus-
bands have died. She had only six
children as the result of her multi-mar-
riage career. but those six have as
many different names.
Edward Dorsey, residing at No. 1918
Northwest street, Indianapolis, has not
only one of the best matrimonial rec
ords in Indiana, but he lays claim to
the largest family in the state. His
family number forty-six children, the
result of six marriages. Twenty nine
of them are stepchildren, but they are
all claimed by him as his family.
A combined marriage and family rec
ord which probably stands without a
parallel in the Mississippi valley is that
of John Griggsby and Dycla Clary, of
Anderson. He is 81 and she is ten years
his junior. 1t is his sixth and her fifth
matrimonial venture. Both have large
families. There are fifteen different
family names.
New matrimonial age limits have
been recorded in the last month. Pearl
Gates, age II, married Louis Gates. at
Hadley station, Hendricks county. Con-
rad White, age 76, and Margaret J.
Sheets of Norris, Ill, age IS, eloped to
Valparaiso recently and were married.

FORAKER OUT.
The Ohio Senator Against Mr..
Mckinley.
Will Lead the Anti-ExpansiOn
Republicans.
SPEAKS OUT BOLDLY.
In Letter to Cincinnati Pas
tor He Declares
His Opposition to the Philip
pine Policy.
PEAKS OUT BOLDLY.

Cincinnati, Sept. 11-Through an
open letter to the Rev. Herbert s. Bige-
low, pastor of the Vine Street Congre-
gational church, Senator Foraker bold
Iy avows his opposition to the Philip
pine policy Of the president, argues
that Aguinaldo is a patriot and de-
clares that he Will lead the Republican
revolt against Imperialism in the SEN
ate.
The Rev. Mr.. Bigelow is one of the
recognized leaders of the anti-inperlai-
ism movement here and it was at ms
church that Murat HalStead had ms
recent sensational experience Fofakef'
in his letter to BigeIow, underscores
the line, I am with you" The SEN
atOr refers to a press dispatch OF sep
tember 2, giving the statement OF 4sa-
bel ArtachO against Aguinaldo. he
calls Artacho a scoundrel OF the worst
type.
Behold" he says, what an honor
able ally the president has taken to
himself. Isabel Artacho, the meanest
man the islands ever produced-aS
little as Arnold without Arnold's fire.
Since the American occupation OF the
city he has passed in and out as freely
as before. Doubtless he had useful
sides. But that he should be brought
forward as a clincher, that his simple
statement should be thought sufficient
TO blaclen the character of the man,
who, whatever may be said of him, IS
still making a pretty stiff fight for his
country-thiS is laughable.
There were to be had at any time
during our own war for independence
fifty tories who would swear before the
British parliament that ~ Washington
was a mere self-elected uSurper, lead
ing a handful of atrociouSly merciless
banditti. Artacho's evidence is worse
than useless. He took his part of the
bribe and skipped when Aguinaldo, af-
ter having had that interview with Ad-
miral Dewey, proposed to renew the
war. 1t was with this part of the booty
that he secured that influence the dis
patches are so careful to mention
What did the dispatch say the despised
Aguinaldo did with his? The ceaseless
pop of guns over there in the jungles
are proof positive that he did not
spend it on himself.
The Rev. Mr.. Bigelow declined to
give out the letter, but said he would
read portions of it in his pulpit. Il am
given to understand" said he, that
the senator is with us. He speaks
warm words of commendation for our
work 1 can not help feeling that this
letter, written at this time to me, who
have always set myself firmly against
the administration is of the highest
political Significance.''
