In SOu;h LuzOn

Washington, March 5.-The first
news of Gen. Bates's expedition to
southern Luzon was received at the
War Department to-day in the fol-
lowing telegram from Gen. Otis,
dated Manila, March 5:
''Bates, with twob .attalions of the
Forty-ffth Regiments and detach-
ments of artillery, engineers and
signal corps, total of 1900 men,
landed troops on the southeast,
northwest and southern coast of San
Miguel Bay, Camarines province to
move on Nueva Caceres in three col
umns. The only strong opposition
was encountered by Goodwin F'or-
tieth) and battalion of his regiment
at D1bmanan. northwest of Nueva
Caceres. Godwin's loss was adju-
tant Galleher, died of wounds; three
enlisted men severely and five slight
ly wounded. The enemy left sixty
four dead on the field. Many were
wounded and were cared for by our
medical officers. Goodwin captured
a number of armed insurgents, eigh-
teen Spanish prisoners, thirty rifles
and considerable ammunition and
property. Particulars of minor en-
engagements of the other column
not reported.
''Neuva Caceres was found practi-
cally deserted, the inhabitants be-
ing in the mountains; the troops are
now covering important points in
the provinces of Camarines, Albay
and Sorsogon. The Navy rendered
most valuable aid in landing troops
and supplies"
Lieutenant John Barber Galleher,
who was killed, was born at Frank
fort, KY, on Sept. 20, 1897, was mus
tered in as First Lieutenant and Ad-
jutant of the First Kentucky Volun-
unteer on May II, 1898, and was
honorably mustered out en- Feb. "a,
1899. He served with the regiment
in Puerto Rico from August to De-
cember, 1898. He was afterwards
appointed First Lieutenant in the
Fortieth United States Volunteer
Infantry on August II, 1899, and had
been serving with his regiment in
the Philippine Islands since Dec. 26,
1899.

Sad And Fatal Ending to a Love

Greenville, N. c., March s.
Jesse James, accompanied by
Sam James, went to the home of
E. S. Lewis, in Belvoir township,
about ten miles from Greenville
Saturday night for the purpose
of marrying Lewis daughter.
Lewis obj bjacted and a fight en-
sued, resulting in the death of
Sam James and the woupding of
Jesse James and Lewis.
The coroner's jury had not re-
turned it's verdict al 9 o'clock to-
night. Jesse James, brother of
the deceased, has fed. The gen
eral opinion is that the killing
was justifiable The James broth
ers and their father are consids

afev days ago the father en-
tered into a difficulty and was
severely wounded by blow on
the head. The wounds of Mr..
Lewis are not considered dan
gerous.

Minister SheldOn's Nav pap n

: Topeka, Kan, March 5.-Al-
ready the Topeka post Office and
the Daily Capital Office are swamp
ed with applications for copies of
the paper under the Rev. Mr..
Sheldon's management, beginning
March Is. Mr.. Sheldon, the au~
thor of "In His Steps," is to have
control Of the paper for a week to
show his idea Of The strt of news,
paper that ought to be- published
in Christian country, the sort Of
newspaper that Christ would pub
lish.
Subscriptions for the Sheldon
edition passed the 1000 mark
yesterday, and there are indica-
tions that the rush has just begun.
At the close of business in the
counting room at 10 O'Clock last
night there was stack of unopen-
ed mail that would fill bushel
measure. To-day wagon load of
letters containing romittances for
the religious edition was hauled to
the counting room. Orders are in
creasipg with every incoming mail
and it would be impossible at this
time to give en- intelligent idea Of thu
total circulation. With the count
ing room force more than quad
rupled, it is barely possible to keep
even with the rush of orders.
The resources of the Topeka
Post Office were never before so
heavily taxed and Postmaster
Guthrie was compelled tosday to
make second requisition upon
the Post Office Department for
help in handling the Sheldon eds
tion.

he kept the establishments running
at loss to prevent a panic. This
WAS at the request of the government,
which promised at the time to ''re-
member his patriotism.
The New York Morning Telegraph
tells a circumstant1al story of the al
legged loss in a Washington poker
game of $1O,8OO by "Charlie" Clark,
son OF the contesting Montana SEN
ator. This story will, of course,
cause grief to the thrifty Montana
legislators who succumbed to temp
tation only when they thought there
was no more money to be sQuander-
ed in making it greater.
Senotor Perkins, of California. has
introduced Joint resolution in Con-
gress providing for the acquisition
by the government of certain lands
IN California which include the big
trees of Calavaras county. The idea
is to preserve the trees of Calavaras
county from vandalism; but, Judging
from the past experience, the making
a government reserve of the ground
on which they stand is no certain
way of accomplishing this object.
The speech of Senator Clay on the
proposed colonial policy of our gov
ernment and the tendency toward i'm
perialism has attracted attention all
over the country, and has added
substantially to the reputation of the
senator. It was very impressive
presentation of the difficulties and
dangers which the course of the
present administration threatens to
bring upon US. It was an earnest ap-
peal for a return to the safe and hon
orable pathway of the fathers.
Chief of Police Devery, of New
York, has heard of a scheme where
by the police department. had intend
ed to buy bill from the Legislature
providing that the duty of patrol
men shall be limited to eight hours
daily. This bill is already before the
Legislature, and the plan was to
have each patrolman contribute $40,
making fund of about $50, 900, to
push the measure through. Chief
Devery has notified his men that no
such contributions must be made.
When the news of the relief of
Ladysmith reached Cape Town the
Union Jack was not hoisted over the
government buildings as quickly as
might have been, and large mob
thinking it was due to sympathy for
the Beers on the part of some of the
members of cabinet promptly at
tackled the building and only drew
off when the flag was raised. Rud-
yard Kipling says he was in the front
rank of the mob only as spectator
and not as leader melting the mob
to action, as is charged by some of
the Cape Town newspapers.
Ex-Governor David B. Hill, of
New York, who is Democrat, will
go to the national Democratic con-
vention, and according to informa-
ton furnished to the New York
Journal, will vote for Bryan as the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. This is because Bryan is
against expansion Another paper
says that it is because Croker wants
him to. Croker when last heard
from, was in favor of expansion. The
statement that Hill will support Bry-
an is not unlikely, nevertheless, de-
spite these conflicting and absurd
reasons.
