GEN. MacARTHUR's DISPATCH.
The Reported Capture would Seem
to Include the Gunboat Villa1Obes.

The Reported Capture would Seem
to Include the Gunboat ViIIa1obes.
Washington, Sept. 29.-The war de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Gen. Macarthur.
Manila, Sept. 2s.-Adjutant Gen
eral, Washington: September II
Capt. DevereauN Shields, 81 men Com
pany F, Twenty-ninth regiment Unit
ed States volunteer infantry, one hos
pital corps man, left Santa Cruz,
Martinique, by gunboat Villalobes
for Torriios, intending to return over
land to Santa Cruz. Have heard moth
ing since from Shields. Scarcely
doubt that entire party has been cap
tured with many killed and wounded,
Shields among latter.
Conformation sent by letter from
commanding officer at Boag, dated
goth, received September "a, consisted
of rumors through natives. York
town and two gunboats, with George
5. Anderson (Col. Thirty-eighth vol
unteer infantry,) and two companies
Thirty-eighth volunteer infantry,
sent to Martinique Immediately. An
derson confirms first report as to cap
ture, but unable, September 27, to
give details of present whereabouts
of Shields and party, or number Of
killed and wounded. This informa-
ton probably will be available soon.
Anderson has orders to commence
operations Immediately and move re-
lentlessly until Shields and party are
rescued. All troops expected soon.
Logan will be sent to Martinique, if
necessary, to clear up the situation.
"M'ARTHUR."
The Twenty-ninth infantry was re-
cruited at Fort Mcpherson (Atlanta),
Ga. Capt. Shields was lieutenant
colonel of the Second Mississippi dur
ing the Spanish war. He was made
captain in the Twenty-ninth infantry
July 5, 1899. He was resident of
Natchez, Miss, where his wife now
resides.
The scene of this latest reverse is n
small island lying due south of the
southern coast of Luzon, and about
800 miles from Manila. Marinduque
is about "a miles in diameter and
was garrisoned by two small detach-
ments of United States troops. One of
these was at Boag, on the west coast
of the island, and the other was at
Santa Cruz, the principal port, on the
north side. Capt. Shields appears to
have started from Santa Cruz on a
gunboat for Torrijos, small coast
port, and it is inferred that the boat
as well as the body of troops under
that officer mas been captured, for the
dispatch makes no reference to her
return.

THE LOSS WAS TOTAL.
Residence of Mrs Enos Cardwell
Burned Friday Morning.

The handsome residence of Mrs. Enos
Cardwell, situated on the extension of
Galloway ST. eet, just south of the city,
was totally destroyed by fire at an early
hour Friday morning. A young man,
Algie johnson, was the only one in the
house at the time, Mrs. Cardwell having
gone on visit TO the country. He was
awakened by the smoke which filled the
room where he was sleeping, and it was
with some difficulty that he succeeded in
getting out.
So rapid we're the flames in their work
that only a few articles of house hold
furniture could be saved. The fire
alarm was sounded, but, as the house
was located too far from plug, the
company could do no good.
The house was insured for s1.5OO IN
the Hamburg Bremen and the furni-
ture for $500 in the Westchester. with
Hendley & Wilson, agents. This will
not cover the loss, as the house and
furnishings were both quite valuable.
The origin OF the flames is a complete
mystery. as there had been no fire in
the house for several days.
