OPERATIONS IN LUZON.
Success of Gen. Bates ExpedftfOn-l
Number of Towns Occupied
Some Fighting.

Manila, March 6.-Gen. Bates expedi-
ton to southern Luzon, consisting of
the Fortieth and Forty fifth regiments.
total Of 1900 men, has occupied Nueva
Caceres, province of South Camarines;
Dact, province of North Camarines, and
the neighboring smaller towns. The
enemy resisted at one point and two
Americans were killed, including Lieut.
John B. Galleher, of the Fortieth regi-
ment.
On February 20 the expedition arrived
at San Miguel bay, landed, and in three
columns immediately pushed inland,
converging upon Nueva Caceres, and
attempting to control the enemy's
routes to retreat.
At Lithuanian, north of Nueva Caceres.
the enemy was concealed in the rice
field and resisted a battalion of the
Fortieth regiment which engaged them
at close quarters with bayonets. After
40 minutes fighting the enemy fled and
Lithuanian was occupied. The Ameri-
cans buried 64 of the enemy, whose to-
tai loss in killed and wounded is esti-
mated at 14O.
Lieut.. Edgar F. Koehler, of the
Ninth infantry, was shot and killed
at village six miles north of Tarlac,
where he went in search of some hid
den rifles. A Filipino, promising to
produce the rifles, led him into an am
bush away from his command. The
soldiers in revenge burned the village
and killed "a of the enemy.

DEATH IN A MINE.
n West Virginia Colliery-Es-
tjmated Loss of Life,

Fire Creek, w. Va, March 7.-The
most disastrous mine explosion ever
known in the New River district oc-
CURED at the Red Ash mine shortly
after the miners went to work early
Tuesday morning. Although the most
heroic work of the rescuing party has
been going on incessantly. it is i'm
possible yet to estimate the full ex-
tent of the loss of life and property.
The explosion happened as the men
were going into the mine, in groups
and in couples in some instances, and
they were strung along in this man
ner for over a mile, so that the work
of rescue will require long time.
There were more men near the en-
trance who escaped than were lost.
The most conservative estimates of
some of those connected with the
mine place the number of killed at
50, and there are others who insist
that the number of victims will be
found to reach go.
The general belief is that the ex-
plosion occurred by contact with dust
when the miners entered with their
lights and that it was not due to fire
damp, as has been currently reported.

HIS POSITION.
President Mckinley Says He Still Be-
lieves Porto Rico Is Entitled
to Free Trade.

Washington, March THE Post
says: President Mckinley, in CONVEX
satlon with callers at the white house
Tuesday, reiterated his belief that the
people of Porto Rico were entitled to
free trade with the United States. He
made it clear that his views had un-
dergone no change since he wrote his
message to congress. He still adhered
to the sentiment therein expressed.
At the same time he said he was un-
allie to subscribe to the theory that
the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto Ricans must have free
trade as necessary legal right.
When he found that the house deemed
it the part of wisdom, the president
explained, to impose small tariff up
on condition that the revenues so col
lected all be returned to the island,
he had been constrained to yield to
the Judgment Of the house. The tar
iff, under such conditions, would be
no hardship to the Porto Ricans.
the earliest moment, to secure a de-
cision of the supreme court on the
constitutional question involved.
Therefore, he had given his consent to
the nominal tariff, and agreed to sign
such bill. He left no doubt in the
minds of his callers-whom he ques-
toned closely regarding the drift of
public sentiment-that congress, not
the executive. was responsible for
the change of policy.

Five hundred old bronze and brass
cannon purchased in Cuba by Ameri-
can spectators and brought to this
country to supply the demand for war
relics will have to pay duty of 45 per
cent. They come under the head of
manufactures of metal. The specula-
tion, therefore, is not likely to prove a
very profitable one, but little sympa-
thy will be wasted upon the spccu-
lators, for the reason that the latter
proposed to sell as relics of the Span
ish war guns that were never used in
the war, but which had been con-
demned long before as obsolete.
