ALGER WILL NOT RESIGN
HE HAS NO INTENTION OF LEAVING
 THE CABINET.
lakes Positive and UnequivOcnl stnte- ment That Reports to the Contrary Are Absolutely Without Foundation Proposes to Remain Throughout the Administration.

Washington, April 14.-Secretary AL ger returned tonight from his tour of the West Indies and immediately put an effective quietus on the persistent reports that he contemplated retiring from the cabinet by positive and une- quivocal statement that reports were absolutely without foundation, and un- less some unforeseen contingency arises he proposes to remain secretary of war throughout this administration. Sec retary Alger had his attention called to recent rumors that he would resign af- ter the investigation into the conduct of the war and incident matters and that his successor already had been deter mined upon. He said all statements of this character were false; that he has not entertained any such intentions, and that they were instigated with the evident purpose of attempting to force him to leave the cabinet. He said he purposed to pay no attention to these attacks. He authorized the Associated Press to make a complete denial of the reports and to announce once and for all, in the strongest terms possible, that he would remain in his present office throughout his regular term. Of course, he added, if there should be a great disaster in his private business affairs, or he should be stricken in health, or some such wholly unexpected event oc cur, it might force him to resign, but he had no idea of resigning and his deter imitation to remain, despite reports to the contrary, was fixed and unaltera- ble. Speaking tonight of his trip to the West Indies, Secretary Alger said: T had no adequate idea of the wonderful possibilities of Cuba and Porto Rico be- fore my personal Investigation and I return to Washington with renewed faith. All that I ever imagined has been more than realized. Under no cir cumstances would I now consent to the | surrender of Porto Rico, which is now ! our territory, nor would l place the 1 slightest check upon the great work which is being done for Cuba The 1 duty we have taken upon ourselves of | holding Cuba in trust for civilization is nOhle one"

THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN
TILL4GE or PANS1NGH4N FOUND
 DESERTED BUT IN ORDER.
Eight Men of the North Dakota Regi- ment Caught in an Ambush--Only One Escaped Unhurt-150 FiIipinos Killed tn the Fight of MOMdny-Lawton to Withdraw from the Towns.

Manila, April 15-S:30 a. m.-Starting in an easterly direction along the road to Pansanghan, a party of sixty sharp shooters, under Lieutenant Southern of the Washington regiment, came upon a trench across the road about mile out of Santa Cruz. Lieutenant Southern was wounded. The Americans then ad- vanced with the mountain guns, and the trench was carried without loss to
 the Americans Pansanghan was found
 deserted. Four monuments on the bor- der of the village celebrate the procla- nation of Filipino independence issued last year, and glorify "Aguinaldo, the
 liberator'
 The troops on entering the abandoned
 houses found them in perfect order. A
 few gurilla shots were exchanged and
 one member of the 14th regiment was
 shot in the leg by his comrades who
 were aiming a cariboo. One Filipino
 was killed and five were wounded in
 the encounter beyond Longas. This was an ambush. Eight men of the North Dakota regiment, moving in sin gle file through the woods, received a volley from a clump of bushes about fifty feet away; only one got off un- hurt. The Filipinos were easily scat tered.
 Additional Filipino dead found north of Santa Cruz swell the number of the enemy killed on Monday to 150, includ- ing Paolo Aguirre, one of the leaders, and twelve officers. According to the statement of some of the prisoners the Filipinos drove hundred Spanish pris- oners and twelve priests into Santa Cruz at the point of the bayonet on Sunday night. Four other priests died of starvation. It appears that the Fili pino forces at Santa Cruz consisted of 300 rifles and thousand bolos. As he lacks sufficient troops for garrisoning, General Lawton will withdraw from the towns entered. Not house has been burned, the only confiscation being of pigs and chickens. It is hoped that this respect for property will convince the natives of the good intentions of the

KEROSENE LA1f EYPLODED.
Fire in Danbury store.-A xyoman,s
 Goodness

Danbury, April 14.-The explosion of a kerosene lamp in the grocery store of Sylvester Barrett at 1O7 West street at o'clock tonight caused $500 damage. Mrs. Barrett, who was alone, started to lock up the store and attempted to blow out lighted kerosene lamp The flames were blown down into the lamp instead, and as 1t was apparent that it would explode Mrs. Barrett picked it up and threw 1t from her. The lamp exploded in the air, however, and some of the oil falling on her apron immediately set it on fire She retained her presence of mind however, and removed the burn- ing apron and then came out and closed the store door after her to prevent draft and then notified a passer-by, who had the fire alarm rung in. Mrs. Barrett's coolness saved the store from total destruction.

TRI.iL OF MRS. GEORGE.
Evidence Against Alleged Slayer of Mrs.
 McKiMlcy'H Brother.

Canton, O., April 14.-During the trial of Mrs Anna George to-day numerous threats by Mrs. George against the life of Saxton were testified to. Many of the statements were coupled with Mrs. Georges story of the alleged wrongs to her at Saxton's hands which she told witnesses in connection with her threats. Another disappointment to the prosecu- tion was the failure of a witness to sat- isfy the court that he was qualified to judge of Mrs. Georges writing and thus identify a letter which it was sought to prove she had written.

S1MOIN ISLAND COMMISSION.
All Attention Now Being Given to It's
 DepurtUre,

Washington, April 14.-At the British and German embassies the Samoan commission is considered settled beyond further question, and all attention is now being given to the departure of the commissioners. Baron Sternberg has received his instructions from Berlin. It is expected that the foreign office will send supplementary instructions to San Francisco so as to reach him before he sails, Instructions in detail for MT, Elliot, the British commissioner, will come by cable if the commissioners are to leave at once, but by mail if sufficient time is permitted.
 There will be no joint meeting of the high commission in Washington and the members of the commission who are here say there is no warrant for state ments that any advance decision or line of action will be taken. MT. Tripp, the American commissioner, is not expected to come to Washington, as he is now in the far west and will probably join Bar ron Sternberg and MT. Elliot as they pass on the way to San Francisco.
