GENERAL YOUNG AGGRESSIVE

Enemy.

MANILA, Dec. S.-1O:55 a. m.-There was
considerable relief in Manila when the news
was received today that General Young's
small force had arrived safely at Vigan
province of South llocos, December g.
Anxiety has been felt for General Young
and the garrison at Vigan since it was
known that General Tino had large ag-
gressive body of insurgents operating in the
vicinity. General Tino made a stand in the
mountain pass between Narvacan and San
Quinto. The natural strength OF the posi-
ton was augmented by trenches and pit
falls The fight lasted five hours Gen
eral Young had three companies of the
Thirty fourth infantry under Lieutenant
Colonel Robert L. Howe and two troops o.
the Third cavalry, Captain Swlgart COM

Chase. He was reinforced during the fight
by Colonel Luther r. Hare with battalion
of the Thirty-thrd, enroute to Vigan, Cen
eral Young ended the fight by charging and
routing the enemy, who left twenty- five
dead and several rifles and thousands OF
rounds of ammunition in the trenches. The

Since our government experts them

that the scale cannot spread here, it is
high timo to abolish measures that are still
enforced against American fruit, measures
which tighten the price. There are in

to whether Roberts shall be treated as a
contesting member, or be asked to plead ss
in a trial. and the committee will probably

INDUCES IN ANrI-sRITIsH TALK.
Anti-Scmite Member of the French
Chamber is Applaudcd.

PARIS, Dec S.-During the debate in the
Chamber of Deputies today on the colonial
budget Firmin Faure, anti Semitic, urged
the necessity of strengthening the defenses
Of the colonies and the colonial army, in ad-
ditlon to system of French-owned cables.
He pointed out that while Mr.. Chamber
lain's Leicester speech was, perhaps, only
his personal view, the fact that British
minister had INDUCED in such language
toward France was sufficiently grave cause
for its consideration by the Chamber, and
he added it was high time to take notice
Of Mr.. Chamberlain's warning.
NJ. Faure also intimated that British ennis
saries were overrunnng Tunis, disguised
as Protestant missionaries, and selling am
munltion to the Arabs.
The anti British remarks were heartily
cheered.

considerable bearing on our labor regarding
Indian children in the schools. This case
grows out Of troubles covering a period of
two years, and several points were argued,
one that married women cannot be com
PEELED to attend schools; second, that state
courts have no jurisdiction over Indians;
third, that Indian agents have no right to
compel Indian children to attend school
against the consent of their parents.

WASHINGTON, Dec S-Senator Lodge
called at the State department today to talk
with Secretary Hay about his Galapagos
islands resolution. AS to the basis of his
resolution of inquiry he said that all the
Information he had as to the reported at
tempt of the English government to secure
the islands was derived from newspaper
sources. The State department itself had no
direct information of any recent movement
looking to the acquisition of the islands, but
will refer the resolution of inquiry to United
States Minister Sampson at Quito for a re-
sponse
1t would not be at all surprising, it is said
here, If the ultimate result of the broaching
of this subject now were the acquisition OF
coaing station on these islands by the
United Statee government. In fact, the Navy
department ha! within the last year been
making GGiet SSg9stigation into the facili-
ties there existing with that object in view
Commander Tanner was dispatched to the
Galapagos islands just after the conclusion
of the war with Spain to make a personal
examination Of the conditions existing. He
found that the Ecuadorean government had
some years ago abandoned it's penal station
on Charles island, leaving behind large
number of domestic animals in half wild
state and these flocks had enormously in
creased. Only one of the half dozen islands
was inhabited, namely, Chatham island and
that island had but one inhabitant, in tho
person of a Mr.. CoboEs. He was of Ecua-
dorean birth, but was naturalized Ameri-
can citizen.
Britain Surprised al the Senate.
LONDON, Dec. $50 far as can be ascer-
tained by the Associated Press, Great
Britain is not negotiating for the purchase
of Galapagos islands from Ecuador, nor has
it any intention Of securing the islands
Official ignorance is professed on the whole
matter and there is some astonishment at the
action of the United States senate in pass
ing Senator Lodges resolution. The AS
sociated Press learns that Ecuador may be
the islands at any price. Whether or not
unofficial steps were taken by Great Britain
with the view Of their possible purchase is
mere matter of surmise. But it is certain
that, according to the highest British officials
these steps never reached the stage of Of
fetal negotiations. Special cable dispatches
from the United States interpreting the
senate's action as emphasizing the United
States adherence to the Monroe doctrine
have caused no stir in official circles here as
it is believed the international relations be-
tween the two countries have been so
changed since the Venezuela affair that Mon
roesm will never again cause a misunder-
standing.
