HIS RETURN TO PATERSON.

About the middle Of September Mr.. Hobart re-
turned to his home at Paterson. He seemed
somewhat better at first. and the hope was held
out that he would soon be in his office and
again at his desk But the days came and went
and still he was too I'll to take up his business
affairs. His physicians stu held out the hope
that he would fully recover. but those who saw
him and knew him well were in doubt At
length absolute quiet was declared to be neces-
sary to his recovery, and only his immediate
family and closest friends were permitted TO see
him. On pleasant days-hls good days" as
they came TO be known at Paterson-he rode out
for hour or two. when he met and passed
friends everywhere by the way, but, although
he greeted them pleasantly, the old vigor OF his
salutations was missing and 1t was noticed that
he fell into frequent reveries which seemed to
carry him by those he met. which had never
been his way before. But he still battled for

became more prolonged. until the end came

THOUGHT HIS ILLNESS TEMPORARY
He did not continuously improve in health
upon his return from Thomasve. although he
was better at times. and any slight improve

only temporary and would soon pass away.
He returned TO his home at Paterson for
brief interval, and then went 10 Long Branch
for the summer, where he appeared TO be slowly

much better that he made the trip to Lake

TWO SHARP FIGHTS

Noveleta, Island of Luzon, Oct. O.
Gen. Schwan's column, consisting of
the Thirteenth infantry, battalion of
the Fourteenth, two troops of cavalry,
Capt. Reilly's battery of the Fifth
artillery and loves scouts advanced
from Bacoor yesterday morning and
occupied Cavite Viejo and Noveleta.
The American loss was three officers
and nine privates wounded, one of the
officers being mortally hurt. The loss
of the enemy is unknown, but the
bodies of three Filipinos were seen.
There were two sharp fights near
Noveleta loves scouts first en-.
cour' she enemy near Cavite Viejo
ar edl0n put them to flight continu-
ing their advance. Capt. Saffold's bat
talon of the Thirteenth regiment,
with two companies of the Fourteenth
and number of Tagalo scouts, Capt.
McGrath commanding the troops from
the Fourth cavalry and Capt. Reilly's
battery, came upon the enemy in a
strongly entrenched position on the
road between Cavite Viejo and Move
leta. A fight lasting half an hour fol-
lowed, resulting in the enemy being
driven back. The American forces
sustained considerable losses in this
engagement, the men being shot from
trenches and shaclSs along the road.
The column then pressed on to Move
letn, which they found deserted, and
remained there at night.
The marines and naval forces CO.
operated with the troops. The gun
boats Wheeling, Petrol and Callao lay
off the shore near Noveleta and threw
shells into that town and Santa Cruz
for an hour, preparing the way for the
marines TO land. Two battalions, con-
sisting of $50 marines, under Col. Ell
lott, advanced along the peninsula
4 from DCavite to Noveleta. The only
way was by a narrow road through
Bwamps.
A mile beyond the mari nes' outpost
the column was suddenly received with
a volley from trenches across the road.
A flank movement was executed and
the insurgents were driven from the
trenches, the marines wading through
rice fields in turning the flank of the
enemy, who reiterated to strong sand
forts across the creek dividing the
peninsula, destroying the bridge across
the stream.
The marines waded through more
rice fields, forded the river in water TO
their shoulders and carried the forts,
meeting with feeble resistance, the
first encounter having disheartened
the enemy. Squads were sent to
Noveleta and burned the town and
huts all along the road from which
the enemy commenced the firing.
There a junction was formed with the
scouts who had been sweeping the
swamps and thiclSets. Thence the
marines returned to Cavite thoroughly
exhausted.
