ATTEMPTS TO PROVE ALlBlS.
Defense In tho Occur d'Alene Cases About
Finished.

Moscow Idaho, Nov. I'm the trial
of the Occur d'Alene miners for inter-
fering with the mails the prosecution
closed it's case at noon yesterday. Dur
ing the proceedings the defense mada
a motion to strike out of the case all
the testimony by witnesses who had
testified before the coroner's jury on
the death of Smith and Cheyne, who
We're killed on April 20, the day of the
alleged obstruction of the mails. The
ground taken was that the defense had
been refused access to the records Of
this proceeding and therefore the de-
PENDANTS were deprived of the oppor-
tunity to use evidence given prior to
the present testimony for the purposes
of impeachment; that if the records
We're on hand they anticipated no trou-
BILE in showing that some of the wit
nesses We're false or mistaken in the
statements made in the court. The de-
tense introduced 10 witnesses who at
tempted to prove alibis for the prison
ers.
To-day many witnesses were intro
duced by the defense and the testi-
mony was presented to show that all
the prisoners, except one, were engaged
in other business and were not present
when the mill was blown up; that they
were not a part of the mob that de-
ayed the mail train. The defense will
put three more witnesses on the stand
tomorrow and this will finish the evil
dence.

The foreign traders, who controlled the
business of Guam, seem to have van

merchants.
There was no trouble at the island
when the letter left, but the natives are
likely to cause some anxiety il the
spanish agitatOrS are not taken in
hand.
Governor Leary, who ranks as lieu
tenant in the navy, found matters in a
very unsatisfactory condition when he
arrived last August The spanards
had been telling the natives all manner
of tales about the Americans and led
some OF the savages to believe that the
soldiers would make slaves of them A
revolt was ripe, and had not the gov

ble-provokers, an incipfent rebellion
might have been started.

only town garrisoned. About 300 more

none but American citizens should hold
land in the island.
Many of the natives have sworn allie

respectful to the flag.
Governor Leary is establishing To-
cal form of government for Argana and
he is also making laws to govern the
outside stations Of the island.

FIGHTING WAS SEVERE
Fierce Battle Between Rebels
and Government Forces.
THREE HUNDRED KILLED
Loss to Each OF the Contending Forces
Hesvy-Government Forces Finally
Repel the Insurrectionists, Who
Fought Like Heroes

New York, Nov. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
A French steamer arriving at Colon
has brought further official details of
the important naval engagement be-
tween the government forces and the
revolutionists on the, Magdalena river
at Puerta Nacional on Oct. "a. The
government forces were on the arm
ored steamers Hercules and Colombia,
which were well fitted up and armed
for war purposes The rebels had sew
eral river boats which they had
seized, but the vessels were not arm
ored in any way and were wholly I'm
provided with fighting facilities. The
battle lasted more than four hours and
the fighting was very severe. The rev.
olutionists fought like heroes. but the
they were finally forced to yield.
The Colombiais machinery was dis
abled after the first shot had been
fired The rebels on the powerful
dredge Cristobal Colon were just about
to board the disabled steamer in the
middle of the river, when the Hercules
steamed up the river and shot at close
quarters from her Hotchkiss guns,
sinking the dredge with all on board.
More than 200 men were killed or
drowned in the desperate battle. All
accounts agree that the affair was dis
astrous to the revolutionists, though
the governments loss was very heavy.
The steamers Elena, Cisneros, Baran-
quilla and ELDERS were recaptured by
the governments forces and towed
down the river in an almost worthless
condition from the effects of the heavy
fire poured into them for hours.
One of the prominent rebel leaders
| in the engagement was Colonel Nav
arrao.
| Headquarters of the rebels have now
been established in Sabanslargo. The
revolutionists purpose to again try te
obtain control of the Magdalena river
but government troops on the steam
ers Samper and Manuel Aycardi are
actively watching their movements SJ.a
seeking to prevent their success.

WILL RETIRE.

| Vice President Hobart Eschews Public
Life on Account of Ill Health.
New York, Nov. "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Vice
President Hobarts announcement.
through members OF his family, Of his
retirement from public life, will make
it necessary for the republican ma
tional convention to choose another
running mate for President Mckinley
should the president be renominated
next year. 1t will also necessitate thu
choice of a president pro TEN. for the
senate TO preside over its deliberations
until a new vice president takes Office.
Republican politicians are practically
agreed that Mr.. Hobart's successor On
the republican ticket next year must
come from New York stats. Senator
Platt was in this city to-day, and 1t ia
understood that candidates We're dis
cussed.
If Governor Roosevelt had not SO
clearly indicated his dissemination to
accept the second place on the ticket
he would be an important factor in the
speculations as to the candidates. His
nomination is regarded. however, as
being practically out of the question,
and two men most discussed are Sec
rotary Root and General Frederick
Grant. Which one of them receives
the republican nomination may depend
upon the fortunes of war in the Phil
ippines. There are men who have serv-
ed with General Grant since his an
pointment to the army, who believe
that he has inherited to a great degree
the military genius of his father, and
that all that he needs is an opportu-
nifty He has not thus far had a
chance to show whether these opin-
ions are well founded, but if he should
command the troops in some brilliant
action against the Filipinos, or, per
haps, direct the final movement in
overwhelming the insurrection, there
| is little doubt that he would be the
| man selected.
Should this opportunity not come to
| General Grant and should the Philip
| pine war end successfully within the
| next few months, the nomination
would probably be given to Secretary
| Root, who infused new life into the
! war department and whose zeal in
| eniisting and sending forward rein
! forcements has made 1t possible fcr
| General Otis to undertake an agrees
| i've campaign. There are many indica,
| tons already that he may be the ad.
ministration's candidate.
Mr.. Hobart will be greatly missed
in the senate. Probably never in the
history Of the country, and certainly
not in recent years. has a presiding Of
ficer of the senate been SO generally
admired and respected by senators, re

Some Filipinos who attempted to
come to Manila with the Spanish COM
mission received message from Major
General Otis, saying the women and
children would be given American pro-
lection, but that the men who had cast
their lot with the insurgents must re-
main with it. The party included a
brother of General Luna, who was as
sassinated by the guard before Aguin-
aldo's headquarters, with his family
and the Filipino secretary of the treas
ury. The families returned to Tarlac.
Lieutenant Slavens, of General Mac
Arthur's staff, accommodating with IS
men in front of Angeles, discovered a
Filipino outpost in a trench. The Fill
pinos numbered about 40 men. AS the
Filipinos had sighted the Americans
! Lieutenant Slavens' only course was to
