SAN MATEo FALLS.
Gen. YOunE'S brigade Captures the
City After nm Engagement with
the FiIipinOs.

Manila, Aug. IA reconnaissance
Saturday by troops OF Gen. Samuel B.
NJ. Young's brigade, with the object of
discovering the whereabouts of the en-
emy near San Mateo, northeast of the
San Juan reservoir, about ten miles
from Manila resulted in the occupation
of San Matco. The American loss was
three killed and 13 wounded, includiAg
lieutenant of the Twenty-frst in
fantry. The Americans approached
San Mateo in three columns. Maj.
Cronin, with IS men of the Twenty
fifth infantry advanced from Nov
aliches, five miles west of San Mateo.
Capt. Rivers, with hundred men of
the Fourth cavalry, and Capt. Parker,
formerly lieutenant colonel of the
Twelfth New York volunteer regiment,
with 2SO men of the Twenty-frst and
Twenty-fourth infantry, and the
Fourth cavalry, approached in two COLI
umns from the south. Maj. Cronin ex-
perienced many difficulties arising
from the condition of the country, and
failed to effect a junction with Capt.
Rivers west of San Mateo, as had been
planned.
Capt. Rivers, advancing, took an out
post of the enemy two miles south
west of San Mateo He then encoun-
tered strong resistance among the hills,
the enemy firing from excellent posi-
tions. Having failed to connect with
Mai. Cronin, and seeing that the town
was already occupied by the Americans,
Capt. Rivers withdrew, covering his
withdrawal by heavy volley. He lost
sergeant killed. Capt. Parker, on ad-
vancing, found the enemy strongly in
trenched on the far side of some rice
fields, about mile wide and covered
with deep mud. Pushing forward rap
idly. he routed the Filipinos after 40
minutes fighting, and then continued
the march upon San Mateo, which he
entered without serious resistance
about half-past one in the afternoon.
Mai. Cronin entered the town about
half-past four. The Americans still oc-
cupy the place. Our men were eX-
hausted by the heavy marching. Twen-
ty-three of the enemy are known to
have been killed.
This is the first action in which Col.
Burt's colored troops participated.
They behaved we'll, their leaders hav-
ing difficulty in holding them back.
Gen. Young accompanied Capt. Park
er's column and was under fire through
out the engagement. 1t is estimated
that the enemy numbered between 800
and 400 men.
Word has been received from Lieut..
G;1,,,p,.a pf ho T-r,tfaI
Yorktown, who with IA members of the
crew of the gunbOat WAS captured by
the insurgents last April near Baler, on
the east coast of Luzon. The message,
which comes through Spanish prison
ers, is to the effect that the officer and
his men are at Vigan, in the province OF
South Ilocos, on the west coast of Lu-
zon. All but two are we'll. Lieut.. Gil
more is allowed a house and servant
and is fairly treated.

is HE AN INCENDIARY
julius Neumann Arrested on Charge
of ArSon-Jacob Jossi the Conn
pIainant.

1t will be remembered that during
the night of April %, 1899, a cheese
factory in the town Of Ixonia belong
ing to Jacob Jossi, tie extensive
cheese manufacturer of this city, was
totally destroyed by fire. The cir
cumstances pointed to a case of in
cendiarism, but no clue to the cul-
prit was obtained until last week
when Chief of Police Block received q
communication from a farmer near
GAINESVILLE stating that man work
ing in that vicinity had told his en-
ployer that he had set fire to cheese
factory near this city not long ago.
The Jossi factory seemed to be the
one in question, so Chief Block had
Mr. Jossi swear out a warrant and
on Wednesday last he went after his
man, secured him and brought him
to this city. The prisoner gave his
name as Julius Neumann. He was
taken before Justice Stacy and his
examination was set for August 10.
He strenuously denied ever having
made any such statement as had
been credited to him and repeatedly
declared his innocence of the charge
1t is said that Neumann was EN-
ployed in another cheese factory not
far from the Jossi factory at the
time the latter was burned.

Alleged Bribery.

William Koepke a man about 60
years of age, residing in the Seventh
ward, appeared in Justice Henze's
court yesterday morning to answer to
a charge of attempted bribery. He
waived examination and the Justice
held him for trial at the next term of
the circuit court, bail being fixed at
$500, which was furnished.
koepke was arrested Saturday on q
complaint sworn to by Justice w. d.
Stacy. 1t seems the man was impli-
Gated a few days previous in law
suit before Justice Stacy, and appar-
emily to influence the squire in his
decision of the case Koepi1e offered
him some money. The justice refused
to accept the proffer aud notified
Koepke's attorney of what had oc-
Cured, but they concluded that the
man was perhaps ignorant and had
no intention Of disregarding the law.
Later, however, another party ap-
peared upon the scene as KOepke'S
agent and insisted upon leaving two
dollars with Justice Stacy. At length
the latter decided to take the money,
so he executed a receipt for it, en-
bodying also the fact that Koepke
owed him nothing, and forthwith
notified District Attorney Rogers of
the matter. The money was turned
over to Mr.. Rogers and he caused the
arrest of Koepke. The charge is a
serious one and is punishable by fine
of from 5000 to $1,000, or imprison-
ment in the state prison from one
to five years.
