MAJOR MARGINS TROOPS COLLAPSE
Second Chase After AguinoldO Taxed
Their Energies Beyond Endurance

Manila, June "a dispatch from
Candon, dated June 4. says that
MAJ or F. c. March, men of the Thir-
| ty-third regiment returned TO Can
don that day by steamerfr from Aparri
A majority of the men were ready
for the hospital. They arr thiu and
weak. having Travelled 800 miles III
the mountains. during which they
suffered greatly from hunger OF the
fifty horses which started with the
battalion, thirteen survived The re
mainder died on the march or fell into
canons
The battalion practically collapsed
a Pial, thirty miles from Muguega-
rao, the result OF fevers end eXhaus-
ton. Eighty-seven of the men were
conveyed from Pal. TO Mugue@arao
in bull carts. and those falling on the
way were carried III Iitters 10y the
lgorottes with the column.
Papers show that nearly all the
presidents installed by the Americans
in General Ioung's territory are
treacherouS and have been making
regular reports to Aguiualdo a. to.
the disposition and movement OF the
American troops, and they have been
collecting and forwarding taxes. The
captured papers also prove the dis
loyalty of the native telegraph oper-
ators whom the Americans retained
on the Cayagan valley line. When
Tirona surrendered the Filipino
forces in that section, these operators
professed loyalty and took the oath |
OF allegiance. But it is now shown |
that they had been sending Aguinal-
do copies OF important kilograms
exchanged between the American of
icers.

DEMOCRACY UNITED.
Edward Murphy, Jr., Predicts Bryan's
Election.

New York, June 6.-Former Sena
-or Edward Murphy, .Ir., said to-day
regarding the work OF the Democrat
ic State Convention:
Il believe Bryan will be- elected:
The Democracy Of New York has
been thoroughly reunited The plat
form adopted yesterday ought 10
satisfy every Democrat. We shall all
support the candidates and platform
nominated and adopted at Kansas
City
Ex-senator David Il. Hill said;
II am satisfied with he result af the
convention. Events speaks for
themselves. Personally | prefer TO
appear in the back ground.
Norman f. Mack said;
II am more than pleased 10 have
the delegates instructed to vote for
Bryan and the platform adopted at
Kansas City"
These three statements from lead
ers who had up to Tuesday differed
much as to the policy the New York
Democracy should pursue this presi
Dental year reflected the unanimity
sentiment finally reached by the State
Convention When the leaders and
the delegates boarded their trains for
home to-day and last night all were |
imbued with a ''get together, Demo- |
Gratis" feeling, and all prophesied |
victory i'll the nation and State. |
Senator Hill declined to say whether
or not he proposed 10 make a fight
at Kansas City for the bimetallic
plank inserted in the New York plat-
form. Those who know him intima-
tely, however, say that he will do
his best to have it adopted But
if defeated he will gracefully accept
any platform the national delegat ties
agree upon.

mated. A letter from State Senator

nat success could be achieved under it.

Ter be called. The chairman stated
mat notices had been sent out and had
proved OF no avail. The matter was
rpierred TO the executive committee.
She chairman then stated that there
vas some money in the treasury, and
that in mis- opinion it would be good
.aing to spend it in having literature
printed concerning the association and
distributed, and his motion was unanim-
m0usiy adopted.
