ATTACK ON AMERICANS.
Five Thousand Rebels Attempt to Cut
Through Our Lines But Fail.

MANILA, June 17-After cutting the
railroad and telegraph at Apalit seven
miles south, for the purpose of severing
connection, the rebels attacked General
MacArthur's lines at San Fernando, at
4;3O in the morning. They met with an
Unexpectedly warm reception and were
repulsed with loss of 75 killed, 30 pris-
oners and many wounded
The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 300 men, advanced stealth
lily from the jungle north of the city
and then divided with the evident pur-
pose of surrounding the Americans
The outposts of the Ohio regiment dis
covered the enemy and retired to their
lines, where the entire division awaited
in an entrenched position. The Iowa
regiment and the Kansas regiment re-
ceived the first shock of the attack
Reserving their fire until the enemy
was within 600 yards, the first volley
Of the Americans hit the rebels, who
returned TIE fire wildly, the rest of
their line failing to advance. The
Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed the
novelty Of the situation awaiting an
attack sailed forth and the insurgents
thereupon turned and fled into the jun
gle.
Our loss was IA men wounded and the
majority of them are only slightly hurt.
General Funston's brigade of Kan
sans and Montanas and General Hale's
brigade, the Seventeenth regiment and
the Iowa regiment, constituted the
force engaged.

SAMPSON OR SCHLeY.
The Whole Controversy May he Opene,
Up Again.


WASHINGTON. June 20.-While the
investigation that the navy department
is about to make is ostensibly to take
cognizance of the controversy between
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson and
Lieutenant Commander Heilner relative
to the alleged colloquy between Rear
Admiral Schley and Hodgson during the
battle of Santiago, II is expected that
the whole Sampson -Schley dispute will
be reopened. Rear Admiral Schley may
be forced to demand a court Of inquiry
to terminate the fight so persistently
kept up against him.
Up to this time only Hodgson and
Heilner have been order to Washington.
Communications have not yet been ad-
dressed to other members Of the navi-
cation. board that recently determined
the relative positions of the different
vessels engaged in the fight off Santa
CO. 1t is understood that they will be
summoned to Washington.
Schley has been content to let the
matter drop, but the department has
persisted in Placing Sampson to the fore
as the real hero of Santiago. If this
is continued Schley must, in defense.
call for a court of inquiry. Sampson's
charge that his conduct was repre-
hensible" would doubtless be the basis
of such an investigation.
The inquiry about to be made by the
department will be secret and Schley
will have no opportunity to defend
himself. Before a court of inquiry he
would have all the rights of defense.

M'KlNLEYS SUNDAY.
He Is Getting Rest by His Visit to Boi-
yoke, Massachusetts,.

HOLYOKE, Mass, June 19.-Sunday
for the president was anything but a
day of rest. With the continual crowd
ing OF the curious citizens the immense
jam at the church in the morning and
later in the day an unexpected and to-
tally unprepared reception in connec-
tion with the baccalaureate exercises at
Mount Holyoke college. made it seem
rather a long, tiresome day for all
The president was not content with CO.
ing once to church; he went twice
leaving Mrs. Mckinley in the hands OF
her friends on each occasion.
The president and his entire party
were up bright and early; a large
of Hon. William Whiting where the dis.
tinguished guests are being entertained,
and by the time the party were ready
for the short walk of two blocks to the
church the streets were filled with peo.
pie at the Second Congregational
church which the Writings attend, q
much larger crowd had assembled and
1t was only by entering a side door thai
admission to the edifce was gained.
The congregation rose as the presi-
dent entered and remained standing
until he sat down. The presidents
pew in the body of the church was oc-
cupied, besides himself by Mr.. Whiting,
Mr.. Allen and Courtelyou. Others in
the party were Mr. and Mrs. AbneT
Mckinley, Mr.. and Mrs. George E.
Morse, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Whiting, the
Misses Barber, Duncan and Morse, anG
Dr. p. NJ. Rixey the presidents physi-
clan.
The church service was in no way out
of the ordinary, with the exception of
additional music. No reference was
made to the presence of the presiden-
tial party in any way and national af-
fairs were not touched upon in the
sermon.

AN ATTACK ON MANILA.
Such a Plan Was All Mapped
Out BY Aguinaldo.
He Was Thwarted In His First Moveme mt
and win Hardly BE Put in Force Now.
General Otis Expects Some Pretty Sc.
we're Fighting in the Near Future.


WASHINGTON, June 19.-Reports
received at the war department from
General Otis indicate that consider
able more fighting is to be expected in
the Philippines before the insurgents
will accept American terms of peace
Aguinaldo is ruling his followers with
an iron hand. The rebels have shown
a tenacity of purpose that has been sur
prising, and they have persisted in
fighting Notwithstanding severe losses
and disastrous repulses.
1t is believed by war department off,
cials that the insurgents had mapped
out plan for simultaneous attack on
Manila and on the forces under General
Macarthur, near San Fernando. The
advance of General Lawton's forces
upon them south of Manila was evil
IDENTIFY unexpected and he not only de-
feated the insurgents with great loss
but broke up their projected attack.
The fight reported at San Fernando is
believed to have been a part of this
splan of Aguinaldo to break through the
American lines between San Fernando
and Cafumpit and advance upon Ma
Mia to aid in the attack on the city,
which had been prearranged
Now that the insurgents have been
defeated at both ends of the line, it is
very probable that Aguinaldo will again
withdraw toward Tarlac and there ar
range some other movement. Mean
while the American forces under Gen
erals Lawton and Macarthur are not
expected to remainly idle. 1t is thought
by officers of the army that General
Otis will continue to advance on the
enemy and not allow them to recover
fully from their defeat of the last few
days.
There is no fear that General Mac
Arthur will not be fully able to defend
his position against the insurgents, as
he has whole division under his COM
mand and will not only be able to re-
pulse any attacks but will probably send
brigade of troops to pursue the Fill
pinos as far north as possible.
The war department has ordered an
other company of regular soldiers to be
equipped for service in the Philippines.
1t is proposed to increase the engineer
corps at Manila and orders were sent
to Company B. battalion Of engineers,
at Willets Point, to Immediately pre-
pare for transportation to San Fran
cisco, preparatory to sailing for Manila.

Result of the Trusts.
WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The in
dustrial commission has somewhat
changed its plan for the work of the
sub-commissions during the summer
months by revoking its order for the
appointment of special commissions tc
investigate the elevator trust and the
mining industry west of the Mississippi
river and instead authorizing all the
regular commissions to sit during
July and August.
James Barrett, vice president of the
Georgia State Agricultural society, was
the only witness before the commission
He spoke upon the agricultural condi.
tions in the South, saying they were
worse today than they had ever beer
before in the history of the country.
He said the cotton interest was es-
pecially depressed, prices last year
amounting to a little over cents a
pound. AT this price man could not
save himself if he paid wages amount
ing to more than SO a month. Planters
generally paid about $6 a month for
wages and at such rates they could not
prevent loss if they received less thar
cents per pound.
Mr.. Barrett said that nine -tenths of
the cotton grown was mortgaged be.
fore 1t matured, Rates Of interest and
commission were high and the mer-
chants were gradually coming into
possession of the land.
The railroad rates were such as tc
render it impossible to longer make
watermelon growing profitable, and the
same was true of other garden pro-
ducts. THE railroads are both the
daddy and the nanny of the trusts"
he asserted.

General Wood said that there was no
feeling in Cuba about the disposal of

Still He May Be Selected Judge In n
Libel Action.
HAVANA, June 19.-The libel ac-
tion which Governor General Brooke
has ordered begun against FL Recon-
centrado is exciting general interest,
for it is regarded as a test case under
the recent decree.
The possibility that General Freyre
Andrade president of the late mill
tary assembly may be named as one
of the judges of appeal, has caused
considerable agitation among the Gu
bans who regard his as decidedly err
ratio. At the time of the Garcia fun
eral his attitude toward General
Brooke whom he charged with endeav-
oring by every possible means to pro-
woke the Cubans, aroused considerable
animosity among the latter.
More than this, at all the meetings of
the assembly he bitterly denounced the
Americans and at all subsequent gath
erings of Cubans where he has put in
an appearance he has followed the
same course.
His selection for a judgship would be
disapproved by many not only for
such considerations as the foregoing
but because he is not old enough or
sufficiently experienced to fill the po-
sitlon effectively.
