DEWEY CABLES THE NEWS.
Navy Department Notified of the Capture
of Americans.

Washington April 2O.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
from Admiral Dewey:
Manila, April 1S-Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: The Yorktown Wis
tied Baler, east coast of Luzon, p l.,
April II. for the purpose of rescuing and
bringing away the Spanish forces, con-
sisting of eighty soldiers, three officers,
and two priests, which were surrounded
by AGO insurgents. Some of the insur-
gents armed with Mauser rifles, as re-
ported by natives. Lieutenant Gilmore,
while making an examination of the
mouth of the river in an armed boat,
was ambushed, fired upon and captured
Fate unknown, as insurgents refused to
communicate afterward. The following
are missing: The officer previously re-
ferred to. Chief Quartermaster w.

Seamen F. Brisolese and o. B. McDon-
aid, Landsmen l.. T. Edwards, F. An
dersen. ]. Dillon, and c. A. Morrissey."
The officials of the navy department
are confident that such of the men of
the Yorktown as escaped being killed
outright in the first ambuscade will be
well treated by the insurgents. Some
time ago the war department made in
quiry as to the number of American
prisoners held by the Filipinos In re-
ply. General Otis referred to three SOL
diers, and said that they were being
fairly treated by the insurgents, he sup
plying funds to defray the cost of their
food The reports made to the navy
department by Paymaster Wilcox of
Deweys officers, who made a trip across
the island of Luzon from Manila to the
north coast, described the condition Of
the Spanish officials who were the pris-
oners of the insurgents as very COM
Portable.
In many cases, he said the officials
were only nominally in confinement
being allowed the liberty of the towns
The officials are hopeful that Gilmore
and his men who survived the ambus-
cade will some day regain their liberty
The department has sent no instruc-
lions to Admiral Dewey as to the course
he shall pursue, believing that he is
fully competer to deal with the situa-
ton and resting secure in the assurance
that he will spare no efforts to rescue
Gilmore and his men il they are alive

COAL PRICES ARE ELEVATED
Owing to Advancing Freight Rates
and Relaxation of II Local
Fight.

Prices charged for coal took the initiatory
squirt OF the winter season yesterday, owing
to an agreement reached at meeting of the
dealers belonging to the coal exchange The
advance is upon all kinds of COAL ranging
from 81 on anthracite to so cents on western
lump, 20 cents on western egg and nut coal
and 80 cents on gas house coke. The pre-
vailing prices today are $3.50 for anthracite,
$3.50 for Rock Springs lump, 81 for Rock
Springs nut, $3.50 for Hanna egg and $62 %
for Hanna nut.
This rise is attributed to several causes,
first of which Is mentioned an increase on
freight rates from Chicago to the west For
months the rate on hard and soft coal from
Chicago to Missouri river points has been
81 per ton, but the railways recently an
nounced that after November Is the rate
will be $3.50 for hard coal and 1925 for soft.
1t is pointed out that since October l hard
coal has been selling wholesale in Chicago
at $6. Allowing So freight from that point
to the Missouri river and so cents a ton for
drayage it made the cost of the coal at
tho Omaha delivery $3.50 AS 1t has
been selling at just that figure, no allowance
was provided for office expenses or the loss
in screenage or for shortage. During the
month of September the Chicago price was
$5.75, which left but 25 cents ton to cover
expenses, screenage and shortage Under
the new prices dealers will between this date
and November IA enjoy a margin Of 81 on

Another Omaha Gunrdsmnn Wins n
Commission After Successful
Examination.

The Omaha Guards are rejoicing over the
news that another member OF their organi-
cation has received an appointment as an
officer in the regular army. Lieutenant
Lynn S. Edwards is the seventh member of
the Guards to receive commission Two
years ago Edwards entered the Second Heavy
artillery at Fortress Monroe as a private
and was soon promoted to corporal, then to
sergeant, and in December last to regimen
tai sergeant major. During the Spanish
American war the Second Heavy artillery
was stationed at Fort Caswell, protecting
Wilmington, N. c., and later was ordered to
Havana. While there Edwards appeared for
examination and passed at the head of
class of applicants for commissions in the
regular army. BY strange coincidence
George NJ. Brooke a nephew of General
Brooke, formally stationed at Omaha, tied
him in percentage, receiving 95 4-10
points. On cut. however, Lieuten-
ant Edwards came out ahead. and so
leads Lieutenant Brooke, who also enlisted
as a private, by one file. Lieutenant Edwards,
who won his commission within two years
and one month after enlisting was born
in Nebraska, and is a son of DR.. Laura A.
Edwards OF this city, Lieutenant Edwards
received his commission from the president
on November 4, and has been assigned to
the Eighth infantry, stationed at Havana, to
which post he leaves within day or two.
