Goebel Still Confident of the Outcome

Cincinnati. o., Nov. IA special to
the Commercial Tribune from Frank
fort, KY. says: There were no new de-
velopments at the state capital today
in the muddle over the goyernorship- a
majority of the Democratic politicians
are inclined to give it up, but Mr.. Goe-
bel remains serenely confident, and
says. Il know have been elected

Sutton of Louisville arrived tonight,
and, it is said, they brought with them
and laid before the Democratic commit
tee the plans by which they hope to cut
down the Republican vote in Jefferson
county several hundred.
An amusing feature of the SITUATION
developed today, when it became known
that more than 5000 votes in Eayette
county had been cast for u. c. w.

lieutenant governor. In Nelson county,
Beckham's home, by clerical error
of the Democratic clerk, General Tdy-

as w. P. Taylor, instead of w. 5. Tay-
lor. Today, when Beckham's friends
discovered what had happened in Fay,
cite, they served notice on the GoeDei
people that no contest must be made on
the Nelson county vote, and as result
Taylor will not lose ], 100 votes cast for

OPERATIONS IN PHILIPPINES.
General Otis Makes His Annual Re-
port to War Department

Washington, Nov. 14.-Copies of the
annual report of General Otis have been
received at the war department, but
the report will not be made public I'M
til it has reached the consideration of
the president and secretary of war.
General Otis divides the report into
period, one covering the time from his
pines until Feb. 4, 1899, when, he says,
the rebellious subjects of Spain attack
ed the forces of the United States. who
were rightfully and legally in posses
sion of the city, bay, and harbor of
Manila. The second period treats of the
operations from the time of the Fill
pino attack upon the United States
forces up to the close of active opera
tons on account of the rainy season.
General Otis says that in order to
give a clear and comprehensive state
ment of the situation in both periods
he makes his report in narrative form
and begins with a review of the condi-
lions existing under the protocol until
the attacks and then follows with
story of the operations of the army
since that time. General Otis makes his
narrative complete argument in favor
of the careful management of American
affairs so as to avoid a rupture with
the Filipinos and justifieS the action
of the Americans in all Steps following
the outbreak
Much of what he says has already
been published in the Geographic re-
ports sent to the department and in
official reports received from officers
who participated in the engagements
Accompanying the report are the re-
ports of staff officers giving the details
of the different branches of the army
in the Philippines, the operations in the
fields, the departure of the state volun-
teers and the arrivals of the troops to
take their places and other informa-
ton of a technical character.

gence of any of the Charleston's Of
ficers, a courtmartial will follow the
inquiry, but in view of the exceedingly
dangerous character OF the north coast
of Luzon and the lack of necessary aids
to navigation, it is not believed TO be
probable that any of the officers viii
be found severely censurable.
The photographic Office of the navy
department gives the following data
concerning the locality of the wreck:
The Guinapak rocks lie seven miles
due east of the large island of Kani-
gum. one of the Babuiat group. off the
north coast of Luzon. The Gunapak
rocks are distinctly shown on the naval
chart which is supplied 10 vessels in
the Philippines. but the coral reef on
which the Charleston struck three miles
northwest of the rocks is not shown
on the chart. The dangerous condition
of this coast has been recently pointed
out by Rear Admiral Bradford. chief Of
the equipment bureau. In his report
to Secretary Long he said:
THE bureau is in receipt of great
number of photographic reports from
captains of ships concerning the entire
unreliability of the best existing charts
of the late Spanish possessions now
controlled by the United States. In the
Philippine islands the service of pilots
is constantly necessary for this reason,
and they do not always prove reliable.
The old Spanih maps continue TO be
used b. our naval vessels until the
navy department can make its own
charts. This work is very extensive
and necessarily slow. Only S100. GOO is
now available for the work in all of the
former Spanish possessions. The Ben
nington has been doing this work in
the Philippines. and has a complete by
geographic outfit on board. but ii viii

veys and data will be available.

ceiVed at Youngstown. Ohio.

Youngstown, o., Nov. IA "A private
dispatch received from Manila this
morning announces the death of Major
John A. Logan, jr., of this city. The
remains will be brought home on the
transport Sikh.
Mrs. Logan, widow of Major Logan, is
completely Frustrated over the death
of her husband, and her physicians will
not allow her to be seen. She had ex-
pected to spend the winter with her
children in the south of France, and
was preparing to leave when the cable

Major John A. Logan, jr., was born

In May. 1898, Logan received from
President Mckinley the appointment OF
assistant adjutant general, with the
rank of first lieutenant on the staff of
General John c. Bates.N He went to
Cuba and look part in the battle of Ell
Caney. He was promotedlto major for
gaiiantry in battle, and at the conclu-
sion of the Cuban war served with Cen

Mrs. Logan has received the follow
ing telegram from President McKin-
ley:
1T is my painful duty to convey to
you the sad intelligence of the death of
your husband While CALAMITY leading
his battalion in the charge at San ia
cinto. His splendid qualities as a sol
der and high courage on the fighting
line have given him place among the
heroic men of the war, and ii will b.
some consolation TO you to know that
he died for his country on the field of
honor. You have in this trying hour
for yourself and the children the sin
cere sympathy of Mrs. Mckinley and
myself. WILLIAM M'KINLEY

Americans Fought While Knee Deep

two hours engagements of the war,
with an equal force of insurgents five
miles from san Fabian, Saturday. lost
one officer and five men killed and one
officer and twelve men wounded The
Americans captured twenty Fill
pirlos and 100 fifes, and found eighty
one insurgents dead lying in the
trenches and rich fields. Many more
Filipinos doubtless were killed or
wounded.
General Wheaton was informed that
the enemy was gathering at San ia
cinto for the purpose of preventing the
Americans controlling the read from
Dagupan north, whereby Aguinaldo
might retreat. The Thirty third. Colo

lnent Of the Thirteenth with a Calling

The troops encountered the worst
road ever found in the island of Luzon
There was a succession of creeks,
whose bridges the Americans had TO
stop and repair, and miry bitches. and
at certain places horses struggled waist
deep in quagmires. A hundred soldiers
had TO drag the Calling gun part of
the way, the horses being useless.
The insurgents opened the fight two
miles from San Jacinto, while the lead
ing American battalion was passing a
clump of houses in the midst of a CO.
coanut grove, knee deep in mud. The
Filipino sharpshooters, hidden in trees
houses and small trench across the
road, held their fire until the Ameri-
cans Were close to them. When they
began firing other Filipinos opened fire
from thickets, right and left, further
away.
The insurgent sharpshooters picked
off the officers first. Five of the Amer
leans who fell wore shoulder straps or
chevrons. But the Thirty-third never
VaVsred. It's crack marksmen knocked
the Filipinos down from trees like
squirrels. and the Americans rushed the
trenches, leaving four dead insurgents
there.
The regiment then deployed under fire
