The hamlet of Pauin, the province of Lagura, island of Luzon, the headquar- ters of General Cailles, was surrounded May II by three attachments of the Forty third regiment, Thrty-seventh regiment and Eleventh cavalry. Only a few of the enemy were encountered Cailles having departed the day before. Pawin, which was manifestly a rebel stronghold, was burned to the ground.
 Captain Nordon's scouts and two com panies of the Eighteenth regiment, while scouting May 12 in western Panay, sur prised number of the enemy near Val derana and killed thirty-five of them. There were no casualties among the Americans, but some of them suffered from Sunstroke.
 The official reports announce scouting and small engagements in Panay and Cebu islands and Tayabas, Laguna, Zambales, Benguet and Pangasin provinces resulting in fourteen of the enemy being killed and many wounded
 The Americans also captured sixty rifles, a Nordenfeldt gun and supplies of ammu- milton and destroyed powder factory. A rebel major who surrendered at Liscum last week has been persuading others to follow his example. Today he effected the surrender of forty-six men, with fifty five rifles, at Tarlac, and hopes to infiu- ence more of his countrymen to do the same.

With no political debts paid or per-

MINERS ISSUE STATEMENT.
No Attempt Made to Force
Recognition of Union

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. I5.-The
following statement TO the public was
issued from the United Mine Workers
headquarters TODAY:
In view of the lingering impression
that seems to exist in the public mind
that we are trying to force the coal
companies 70 recognize the United
Mine Workers of America We desire
to state that prior to the offer Of arbl-
tration made by US, and before the
strike order was issued, we made the
following proposition 20 the coal com

First-That the coal companies meet

D. Folsom, Charles Smith and Joseph
Bull, jr. 1t was early apparent that
the favorites were Lynch and Halvor-
sen and it was in their votes that the
deepest interest centered.
Lynch finally won out, his friends
showing the greater ability in hustling
votes from the other candidates after
II was seen that they had 10 chance.
Still, the run made by Mr HaIvOrsen
was greatly 10 his credit as he was de-
feated by only small margin of the
total votes cast. This battle too,
seemed likely to breed disaffection, but
before the convention adjourned il was
quite generally understood that the
supporters of the men who We're beaten
would rally to the aid of the ticket.
Place For the County.
Only one ballot for recorder was
taken. Thomas Homer seemed the
stronger candidate when the recess OF
Friday night was taken and looked a
sure winner. During the night, how
ever, a change was effected The
county made demand for the place
anG determined to secure it if possible.
The districts outside the city united
on Thomas Aston and convinced sew
eral of the city delegations that he
should be chosen. The result was Mr.
Alstons nomination on the first ballot
Ali others candidates, actual and re-
ceptive, withdrew when the surveyor
ship was reached and left the field
open to w. H. Evans. Mr.. Evans went
in by reclamation without a single
voice in opposition being raised.
The determination to nominate none
but the best men, which had been man
ifest all through the convention was
never more apparent than in the pro-
ceedlng that came next. w. H. Dale
was recognized by Chairman Powers
In speech in which he briefly recount
ed Judge HendersOn's value as vote
getter and his party services. he asked
that Judge Henderson be nominated
for state senator by acclaynation.
Henderson By Acclamation.
From every section of the theatre
came seconds. All the delegates
seemed bent on honOring themselves
by hOnoring Judge Henderson. and
when the motion 20 nominate him was
put. the convention was more harmo-
NOUS than it had been at any time
during the two days session. The neg
ativeS were called for but there were
none, for everybody realized that
Judge HendersOn's name would be
valued addition to the ticket
Then, by the terms of the agreement
with the Populists, Henry w Law
renee was nominated by reclamation
