dent McKinley's mapped route did not
include Canton until just before he left
Washington. Mr.. Bryan was billed q
long time ago to speak there this week.
but today was the expected date until
very recently. Mr.. Bryan arrived
there Friday morning. Out of courte-
sy to the president his meeting was
postponed until the presidential train
should have passed.
All this was known when the presi-

Bryan was not expected. Mr.. Bryan,
so it was reported at Canton, had been
brought from his hotel to the speak
ers' stand erected near the railroad
station in full expectation that Presi-
dent Mckinley had gone on. But the
presidential train was late.
Mr.. Bryan saw no necessity for re-
treating. He was on the platform, but
in the rear of the local committee.

FIERCE battle NEAR linus.
Insurgents Meet Our Troops in a
Hand-to-Hand Struggle.
SHOW DESPERATE BRAVERY.
Rebols Attempt to Rush the Line OF
Defense Held by Gen. Grants Soldiers
New Tactics of the Filipinos Cause
Comment.

Manila, Oct. 7.--Filipino rebels met
the American soldiers in a hand-to-
hand fight Friday. They were de-
feated. Twenty-Five of their dead al
ready have been found by our soldiers,
but the American troops are marveling
at this latest exhibition of the holiness
Of the rebels.
Gen. Fred Grant, in command of six
companies Of the Fourth infantry, and
Reilly's battery. started out to clear
the country Of the insurgents who had
made general attack on linus and
the various parts Of the line held by
the Americans in that vicinity. The
general had replied 20 the first attack
by sending a small detachment OF
troops to repulse the natives. The
Filipinos surrounded seven Of Grants
men and captured them. Then the
general decided upon q more effective
movement.
Attack BInacayan.
Gen. Grants men swept the insur-
gents from their position on the west
bank OF the river, near linus. The
Filipinos were driven toward San
francisco. Gen. Grants men then pro-
ceeded to Binacayan. Six hundred ma
tives were in the city as the American
troops advanced. They offered but
slight resistance, however, and re-
treated, setting fire to the village as
they left
Before Gen. Grant had proceeded to
Binacayan Capt. Browns battalion had
rested on the right of the river. while
Reilly's battery took position on the
left which commanded the trenches OF
the insurgents. AS the Americans ad-
vanced other companies of the Fourth
infantry came up the right river bank
I from near Bacoor in order to flank the
insurgents. They reached the troops
on the left bank only after they had
had terrible hand-to-hand fight with
the insurgents. Sergt. King killed a
filipino during this struggle as the
rebel was trying to shoot an American
officer. The Filipinos kept up the
hand-to-hand fight for some time, but
finally broke and ran toward San Fran
cisco. The Americans pursued them
for some distance.
| Fight In the River Bend.
The hardest fight was at the bend in
the river, where two struggles have
taken place recently. Here the insur-
gents had strong intrenchments. The
American officers regard the fighting as
important because 1t has shown a dis
position on the part Of the Filipinos
to stand up and make a close fight. The
officers predict that hereafter 1t will be
a great deal more dangerous to storm
insurgent positions.
A number of Americans were seri-
ously wounded during the fight, but
no fatalities were reported. Gen. Grant
established outposts along the west
side of the river. This outpost will
protect the road to Manila.
| Battle Seen from Manila.
The people of Manila could hear and
see the battle. The smoke of the burn
ing houses at Binacayan could be seen
plainly, while the roar Of Reilly's ar
tillery could be heard. The battle
