SOME GOOD WORK.

Went Against 500 Rebels in Noun
Were Killed. 200 Were Captured
and Much Ammunition Was Sur
rendered-Three Americans Were
kiIIed-WorlS of the Commission.
Each Member Has Undertaken
Some Special Feature.
Manila, June 1.-THE United States
forces had two engag ements of importance
last week.
The troops under Gen. Funston and
Gen. Grant organized an advance, with
parts of five regiments ana two guns,
against 800 rebels in mountain strong
hold east of Biancabata, where it was
supposed Capt Roberts of the Thirty fifth
Regiment, who was captured last month
at San Miguel de Mayumo, was held cap
tive.
The Americans operated under many
difficulties and over an exceedingly
rough country, but the rebels retrea ed,
only few resisting and the strough Did
was occupied and burned.
AS the result of last weeks scouting
sixty Filipinos were killed, 200 were cap
tured and 300 rifles, with 1900 rounds of
ammunition, were surrendered. Three
Americans were killed.
Malarial fever has been prevalent since

Work of the Commission.
Judge Taft and his colleagues of the
Civil Commission are studying the diff

preparatory TO the work of enacting new
laws on Sept. l, when they assume leg
islative power The subjects have been
tentatively divided among them as fol-
lows:
Judge Taft-Crown lands, land titles, the
church and the civil service-the last

United States a good class of government
employees who shall eventually replace
army officials in the civil administration.
Mr.. Luke Wright-Internal improve

absorbing the opinions of army and navy

people of Manila seem pleased with the
democratic course of the commissioners,
and with their habitually courteous de-
meanor The earlier feeling of disappoint-
ment is slowly disapp airing.

RODRIGUEZ ELECTED MAYOR.
NATIONALIsTs WON A GREAT VIC
TORY IN HAVANA.

That Party Had Solid Organization
and Did Hard Work-CIaimed I6,-
coo Followers and POIIed 1903
Votes-MOra's Vote Was Only 1884.
Mora Charges the NationaIists
with Fraud-EIection Was Very
Quiet and Orderly.
Havana. June 17.-Gen. Alexandra Rod
riguez, Nationalist. was yesterday elected
Mayor of Havana, polling 1908 votes,
against 1854 cast for Senior Estrada Mora,
independent. The total vote fell about
1850 below the registration.
The National party elected almost its
entire ticket, eighteen councilmen, the
treasurer. one correctional judge and
three municipal judges. The other cor
rectional judgeship fell to an independent
candidate, as did also the fourth munich
pal judgeship. OF the six other council
men, four are Republicans and two Ma
tonalists, who ran independently.
Reports from every part of the island
so to show that perfect order prevailed
at the polls. Not O shot was fired, nor
was there any sign of disturbance any
where
To an American observer of the election
here. it seemed as if the people regarded
the whole matter with absolute indiffer-
ence. There was not even a crowd in wait
ing to near the result declared. Not Il
cheer was raised, nor were there any Of
the ordinary indications of election eX-
element although a demonstration in
honor of the successful candidate will
take place tonight.
Party Was Well Organized.
The victory of the Nationahsts is chiefly
due to the fact that they were first in the
field and had the benefit of a we'll discip-
lined organization But as they only
claimed to have about 5000 members, it is
obvious that large proportion of the
voting population of Havana, which is,
perhaps 10000, was not attracted to the
ranks of the party during the year and a
half prior to the election. This is chiefly
the result of lack of confidence in the
party leaders
Another fact demonstrated by the cleo
tons is the inability of the Republican
leaders, headed by Juan Gualberto Go
mez and Domingo Mendez Capote, with
their organ, La Discussion. to cut an i'm
portant figure in the politics of Havana
The Republican leaders have failed al
along the line to justify their numerous
pretensions.
Mora Charges Fraud.
Senior Mora contends that he polled
majority of the voters in the better class
districts and attributes the triumph of
the Nationalists to fraud and the votes
of the mob"
Impartial judges attribute the outcome
to the hard work done by the Nationalist
leaders. Gen. Rodriguez declines to out
line his plans, preferring TO wait until
the Havana charter has been made public,
with it's definition OF his powers.
Although the cry of the Nationalist was
that the people should choose the revolu-
tionary leaders because the work of the
revolution was not complete and in order
to prove to the intervening government
that the people of Cuba considered it in
complete, nevertheless many of the lead
ing councilmen elected. and two of those
who were most anxious to secure the may
orally, are not in any sense revolution
lists. The people also are asking where
the pacificos are TO come in.
