INFLICTED HEAVY LOSS.
Gen. Schwan's Army Attacks a Large Body
of FiIipfnOs at San Diego, killing
SO and WOunding Many.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Gen. Otis
cabled report received Thursday
morning indicates that Gen. Schwan
is conducting the campaign in the
south of Luzon with the greatest
energy. He has located southeast of
Laguna de Bay what is probably the
last considerable force of insurgents
remaining in one command, and the
report shows that, with small loss to
himself and heavy loss to the enemy,
he has managed to completely dis
sippate this force, probably beyond
the possibility of reconstruction.
Gen. Otis cablegram is as follows:
Schwan concentrated Thirtieth battal-
ion, Thirty-seventh and Thirty-ninth in
fantry at and near San Pablo, Laguna
province, the afternoon Of the 2Oth'
Hayes with cavalry striking for Tayabas
by lower road. The enemy had advanced
from Santa Cruz to very strongly for
tilted positions at San Diego, MajayJay
and adjacent points, in country very
broken and mountainous. Schwan struck
the enemy at San Diego and in an en-
gagement lasting two hours, killed 81
and wounded large number. Our casu-
altieS were one enlisted man killed and
IA wounded, including three native scouts;
captured several rifles, ammunition, bolos
and stock of uniform clothing. On the
22d Schwan pushed on through to Lilo.
driving enemy back on Majayjay, where
a force reported by escaped Spanish
prisoner to number between 1,400 and
5000 well-equipped and supplied had con-
centrated, waiting the approach of troops.
This position was impregnable via roads
or trails, and the troops were working
around on either flank of enemy, when
the enemy retreated rapidly with Thir-
tieth infantry and cavalry in pursuit It
is believed that the insurgents are widely
dispersed. The country is now covered
by troops and our forces occupy Santa
points resulting in considerable loss to
the enemy. Macarthur telegraphs that
McRae struck an insurgent post in the
mountains northwest of Poraic. capturing
the arsenal, barracks, ten carloads of
powder and ammunition and three insur-
gents with rifles. The barracks and ar

MUST FIRST SURRENDER.
President Mckinley Will Not Appoint or
Receive Commissioners Until the Fill
ipInO InsurrectiOn Is Over.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The PROPOSE
ton made by the Filipino leader,
Senior Mabini, for a civil commission
to treat with the Filipinos, will not be
considered by the administration I'M
til Aguinaldo surrenders. It is the
purpose of President Mckinley to in
augurate a civil government to super
sede military rule in the Philippines
at the earliest possible moment. IF
his present plans are carried out the
Filipinos will have all of the COM
missioners they want to confer with,
for in addition to a commission for
the government of the islands, it is
not improbable that congress will APP
point a joint commission to investi-
gate the islands next summer and re-
port to the next session as a guide for
future legislation.

TORN DRESS SAVED HER.
Mrs. Annie Abel Would Have Jumped
into the Mississippi Had Not Her
Clothing Caught.

ST. Louis, Jan. 26.-After swallow
ing a quantity of morphine, Mrs. An
ME J. Abel, of No. 371O West Pine
boulevard, attempted to throw herself
from the middle span of the Eads
Bridge. Only a bit of torn dress
binding, which caught on an iron
picket of the bridge railing, saved her,
for while she was disentangling the
garment an officer reached her. For
several minutes she fought with the
policeman upon the edge, with the
Mississippi nearly 200 feet below.
More than once it seemed to the thou
sands who were watching the strug-
gle from the piers and the levee that
both would go down together. Final
Iy, aid reached the officer and the hys-
terical woman was dragged to place
of safety.

Be Long and Difficult.

London, Jan. 26.-The American
scout, F. r. Burnham, now on his way
back to South Africa, expressed con-

''It is evidence that the Boer position

it will be long business now to drive
the Beers out Of the Drakenburg.
We shall then reach a rolling, open
country where there is chance to
display tactics and undertake flank
ing movements and cavalry opera
tions But the Beers are sure to make
a most determined stand around
Pretoria. It will not take long to
reach the Boer capital, but the siege
of Pretoria will be long and difficult"

The impression that is said to exist in

STUDENTS FIERCE FIGHT.
A Glass Rush al The Western University Re.
suits in eroken Heads.

Broken heads, bruised faces. bloody
noses and ruined clothes figured in a
desperate battle between students a.
the Western university, Allegheny, Pa,
Wednesday morning in the annual rush
OF the freshman and sophomore classes.
Three students are confined to their
beds with serious injuries, and num-
Der OF Others are nursing painful bruises.
The conflict was precipitated by the
sophomores' successful attempt to tear
down the "'o4' pennant, which the
freshmen raised before the regular ex-
ercises. The flag had been uniurled on
the pole above the university building
after the sophomores had gone to their
class room. At lunch the sophomores
saw the flag and several started to climb
the pole to tear it down. The fresh
man class came out at this stage and
a fight among 100 students followed.
Prof. Daniel Carhart, dean OF the uni
versi.y, and Prof A. B. Frost made a
futile effort TO prevent trouble. The
battle lasted nearly an hour.
