CHANGES IN THE
TRANSPORT SERVICE

HONOLULU, Oct 2.-when Captain
Trask arrives at Manila with the trans
port Aztec he will probably receive orders
10 return to Honolulu instead of San
FRANCISCO, as has been the rule hereto
lore. The Government is reported to have
decided to adopt the new plan of keeping
two steamers for horses and mules plying
constantly between here and Manila and
two between here and the coast The Az
tee is believed to be one of those selected
for the Manila end of the Journey The
Leelanaw and Centennial are to run be-
tween her and San Francisco and one
other steamer will keep the Aztec CONS
pany.
The object of the new arrangement is to
give the horses a rest on land here in the
middle OF their long voyage without hav-
ing steamer lie idle in port while the
horses recuperate. Uncle Sam is paying
very high for his transports, and the daily
bills for them pile up just the same
whether they are fastening across the
pense of simply the charter price of a
vessel like the Aztec amounts to over
$4,000 in the time it takes for the horses
to get into condition for another start
Under the new arrangement the trans
ports that run between here and San Fran
cisco will land their animals here and go
back for more. The result will be a large
stock of horses and mules on hand here
all the time, from which the Aztec and
her companion may draw. The animals
may then have weeks ashore instead
of days. as the San Francisco transports
will get ahead Of the other two.

ADVANCE UPON
THE FLIP mos
American Forces Within
Sight of MaIabon.
Special Dispatch to The Call

MANILA, Oct 9.-General Schwan's col
umn, consisting Of the Thirteenth In
fantry, battalion of the Fourteenth In
fantry, two troops of cavalry, Captain
Reilly's battery of the Fifth Artillery and
loves scouts, continued the advance to-
day toward San Francisco de Malabon,
meeting with little resistance and suffer
ing no casualties. The enemy fell back
steadily.
The American camp tonight is within
sight Of San Francisco de Malabon, the
stronghold of the insurgents in the pro-
vince of Cavite, where the Fllipinos are
said to number 5000.
During the march from Noveleta to
Rosario only a few shots were fired. This
large coast town was literally filled with
white flags. The Americans captured
two or three hundred men, many of the
Filipinos changing their clothing for
white costumes. The bay of Rosario was
filled with hundreds of boats and the peo-
pie had spent an exciting night
This afternoon a body of insurgents
was seen near La Iona Church, four
miles from the heart of Manila They
opened fire, the bullets falling among the
tents of the Twenty-fifth Infantry The
Americans manned the trenches and re-
piled at range of 1900 yards The in
SurGents volleyed and the Americans
used their artillery. The fight lasted an
hour, after which the insurgents retreat
ed. One man was wounded The scouts
Of the Twentieth Infantry were sent to
reconnoiter.

MANY LIVES ARE
LOST BY DROWNING

MANILA. Sept. 4.-The army in Luzon
has lost more men during the past fort
night by drowning than by bullets. All
the little streams which in the dry season
are mere creeks have become swift. wide
rivers with unexpected and treacherous
currents and eddies. Ten colored soldiers
of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were
drowned at the MariQuina River on the
22d of August in an accident exactly
duplicating the loss of five soldiers in the
Pasig River three months ago. Soldiers
are conveyed across the streams on bam-
boo RATS whose motive power is a rope
stretched between the banks. In both
cases the ropes broke, the rafts were over
turned and part of the soldiers weighted
down with guns, haversacks and heavy
ammunition belts were unable to reach
the shore. Private J. E. Poole of the
Twenty-fourth lost his life in attempting
to rescue his comrades. he swan to the
shore and secured a small raft, which he
poled into the river, but was himself
pulled into the water and drowned by a
soldier he was trying to lift aboard the
raft. The last of the bodies of the ten
soldiers were recovered in the river this
week and all have been buried with mill
tary honors.
-Four men of the Third Infantry, sta
toned at Quingua, were drowned IN the
Bagbag River before daylight on the
morning of the 18th, when the regiment
was starting against the forces OF Pillar
Malolos. Corporal Peter Larson was the
hero of this accident. He was drowned
in brave effort to save others. and Lieu
tenant Chauncey B. Humphreys rescued
several of his men by great efforts and
was himself nearly drowned during the
work. The regiment started from Quin-
qua at In the morning and swan the
Bagdbag River carrying their guns 40
rounds of ammunition and haversacks
The river is wide and shallow and most
of the distance was fordable, but the cur
rent had become so swift that many were
carried off their feet. Seventeen were
compelled to drop their guns to get across.
Corporal Larson had reached the farther
shore when he heard the cries of the
drowning men and plunged back with his
gun still strapped to his back He carried
one man of his company to safety and
turned back a second time He was heard
to say: Il don't think l can make it, but
I'll try" He reached midstream and was
struggling to bring out another helpless
private, when both sank and were lost.
Most of the men took off their shoes be-
fore crossing and marched and fought all

surgents and routed them, capturing an
other armed lieutenant and one private.
Returning with twenty scouts, Major
Bell encountered the enemy a third time.
The reconnaissance resulted in scattering
the insurgents in that locality.

siderable outpost firing by small bands OF
uitaneously with the affair near La Iona
Church yesterday the outposts of the
American forces at Caleocan, Deposito
and Marcuina were fired on. 1t appears
that the insurgents in the neighborhood

are to be made upon the hospitals. The

than 1900 men, marched out of Binacayan

~ ACRANIENTO. Oct g. Charles
Aull, Warden of Folsom Peniten-
tiary, died at his residence there
at Pas o'clock this afternoon. Fif-
teen minutes prior to his death the
report was sent out that the War
den was dying, but it was at that time
believed that the end would not come un-
til tomorrow morning.
The death of Warden Aull IS regarded
in Sacramento in the light of the loss of
one Of its own best citizens, for the War
den was held in the highest esteem here
and his acquaintance was widespread.
Those TO whom the news came as a per-
sonal sorrow recall the fatalism which
seems to have settled upon the Warden S
household. Six or seven years ago there
were not in all California two sisters of
such radiant beauty, grace of manner aud
rare mental cultivation as Mrs. Charles
Aull and Mrs. P. A. Humbert. They, with
their husbands, constituted a most happy
household, and the guest al their table
deemed himself fortunate in having been
surrounded by such charming hOstesses
and hOspitable hosts
Pierre Humbert was the originator of
the plans for the great Folsom dam and
canal, but before that vast work had been
finished, and while he was still in his
prime, death overlook him and then, while
in the very height of her beauty, Mrs.
Humbert also suCcumbed to death.
Those who most Intimately knew her
handsome and generous sister, Mrs. Aull,
