Gallant Work of the Thirty-Third
Regiment and the Third Cavalry
Under Trying Circumstances.

MANILA, April 26.-About 800 Of the

Ilocos, including Dodd's fight and the at
tack on Batoc April 16. when from six to
seven hundred rebels. a quarter of whom
were armed with rifles. determinedly at
tackled the Americans. charging their po-
sition and fighting at close quarters. The
engagement lasted all the afternoon, the
enemy burning the town, but they were re-
pulsed after the arrival of American re-
Inducements. The insurgents generally are
aggressive in that province. They captured
an American provision Wagon near Lapo.
The Americans having obtained evidence
that the alcaldes of Lapo, Magsignal, Ca
bugas and Sinait were holding treacherous
communication with the insurgents, i'm
prisoned them and burned Lapo's town
hall.
There have been several minor fights in
the province, including an attack by 200 in
surgents on Lavag April IL, forty of whom
were killed and eighty were captured.
The officers report that the men of the
Thirty-third Regiment and Third Cavalry
behaved splendidly under very trying cir
cumstances.
There were no American casualties at
Batoc, where $50 insurgents were killed and
seventy were captured.

NICARAGUA AND COSTA RIGA.
Minister COrrea Says the Former Has
No Designs on the Latter.

Minister COrrea Says the Former Has
No Designs on the Latter.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Senor Correa,
the Nicaraguan minister here. has made
an emphatic denial of the story that Mic
aragua has any hostile designs on Costa
Rica, and especially that the David expedi-
ton was in any sense a government enter
prise. Because of the reiteration in the
news dispatches of 'rumors to that effect
the minister had a long conference with
Secretary Hay to-day and disposed of these
stories finally and completely. The minis
ter says that Chiriqui, the point where the
expedition landed and made it's way to
David, lies in northern Colombia, and is
separated from Costa Rica by an almost
impossible mountain range No one with
any military talent, he says, would seek
to MAKE Chiriqui a base OF operations
against Costa Rica.
1t is true that the expedition did sail
from Nicaragua on a Nicaraguan govern
ment tug, the Mometobo, but the minister
claims his government had no knowledge
of the departure of the expedition. A num-
Der of Colombians, he says, among them
refugees, had taken up. their residence in
Nicaragua Some of them were men OF
ability and the Nicaraguan government
had placed them in office. TIL leader OF
the David expedition was one of those
Nicaraguan oficeholders.
According to the minister the government
knew nothing of this leaders plans. The
master of the tug was accustomed to maxi
ing short trips up and down the coast,
looking after smugglers and without speci-
fic orders from the government. The leader
of the expedition made private range
ments with the master to transport his
party, and as the number was small, be-
ing about twenty men, and the tug was
used to setting off without orders, the Mic
araguan government was ignorant of the
whole proceeding. When the tug master
returned from Chiriqui and admitted that
he had acted without any authorization
from the government he was promptly i'm
prisoned by the Nicaraguan government.
1t was further stated that the Colom-
bans went aboard without arms; that
their purpose was to aid the revoluIionists
in the eastern part of their own country,
Colombia, rather than attack Costa Rica
and that they nave not been in hostile
collision with the government troops since
they land I'd.

SHOULD OWN THE LAND.
Representative Steele's Opinion of
the Great Canal ~nterpris

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, April 26.-The Hon.
George w. Steele mingled with the Repub-
licans at Indianapolis Wednesday and re-
turned to this city this morning. After at
tending to some personal business he left
over the Panhandle at 2:5S this afternoon
for Washington. Major Steele says that
from now until the close of the present ses-
sion of Congress there will be a busy time
in Washington. The appropriation bills will
require considerable attention, and next to
these is the Nicaraguan canal question,
which will require much time and delibera-
ton to pass it In a form suitable to this
government. So many questions nave come
up in consideration of the bill that the
enormity of the undertaking is thoroughly
impressed on the House and all others who
have studied carefully the situation. Since
both the big political parties have de-
clared in favor of the canal, the bill will
be passed In some form. Most likely the
enterprise will be left in a preparatory
state, authorizing the President to proceed
as rapidly as possible. He will be author
lied to take the necessary steps in en-
gineering, to engage the attention of the
attorney general in What legal proceedings
are necessary to carry on the work, as 1t
concerns all nations.
What We want" said Mr.. Steele, sis to
own the territory surrounding the canal.
We cannot control the waters surrounding
the canal. but over it we should ave alb
solute control, and If II is deemed neces-
sary or advisable to build forts to protect
the canal il should be settled that We have
the authority TO do So"

BOER ARSENAL DESTROYED.
Ten WOrkmen Killed md Thfrty-Two
Wounded mt Johannesburg.

PRETORIA, April ga serious explo-
sion occurred at the johannesburg arsenal
last night. The walls of the building were
destroyed and the structures In the neigh
borhood are a mass of flames. The shrieks
of women and children in the adjoining
streets added to the ghastliness of the
scene. The explosion occurred In a maya
zine containing smokeless powder, on the
opposite side of the street from the Beg
bic works. used by the government as an
arsenal. Ten workmen were killed and
thirty-two were injured, including Herr
Grungerb. the manage of the works. The
most important of the machinery was
saved. TIL cause of the explosion is un-
known. The works employed 200 persons,
mostly French and Italians. The Red
Cross ambulance did good work in helping
the wounded.
Another batch of British subjects con-
sisting of ten men, tw~enty-six women and
429 children have been put over the border
and are going to Delagoa bay.

THE FREDERICKSBURG DISASTER.
A Boer Correspondents Story OF the
British Reverse,

LOURENZO MARQUES. April 25.-A cor
respondent of the Standard and Digger's
News. with the Boer commander, General
De Wet, gives a full description OF the
British disaster at Reddersburg. He says:
Five hundred Irish rifles entered Dewets-
dorp on April I, under Captain McWhinnie,
and demanded the surrender of the town,
which was readily given. Captain Mcwhin-

unity of the Beers. They Numbered again.

alert. Before sunset on Tuesday De Wet
had the British force in his power, after
an engagement which lasted all the after
noon. The Irish made q most brilliant de-
During the afternoon De Wet sent eight
hundred burghers to cut off their retreat,
and he then moved forward a small force
of Beers to the top of the kopjes held by
the British. The latter boldly attacked the
Beers. and then De Vets plan was sud
denly developed. The British soon found
themselves surrounded. They had, indeed,
fallen into a beautiful trap. for they were
commanded at every point by the Boer
guns. while their force was separated on
two kopjes, with the Beers in between.
lat sunrise, on Wednesday, the Boer
guns commenced to hurl shell upon the de-
voted Irishmen, who, however, refused to
surrender. but fought with the utmost
ierceness for three hours. At 10 o'clock,
however, the British commander saw that
further resistance would only involve a
useless waste OF life. as his military posi-
ton was quite hopeless. and he, therefore,
hoisted a white flag.
Twelve officers s~orrowfully handed over
their swords to General De Wet, and 459
noncommissioned officers and men surren-
dered. All the prisoners were forthwith
sent to Thaba N'Chu. under escort. and
General De Wet continued his march tow

VIEWS OF MAJOR STEELE
THINKS THE UNITED STATES SHOULD

Interview with the Marion Represent
tative On the Proposed Mica
raguan Waterway.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Nicara-
guam government has finally Cancelled the
concession to the Maritime Canal Company
to construct a ship canal across Nicaragua.
This decision is the result of proceedings
covering a period of nearly five months.
The original concession would have expired
Oct. 5 last, but the company applied for an
extension of the period. This was refused
by the Nicaraguan government, and then
the company, c~ontending that it had been
prevented by circumstances beyond its
control from carrying out its contract. had
resort to an article in that contract pro-
viding for a settlement of differences be-
tween the company and the Nicaraguan
government by means Of arbitration. The
Nicaraguan government admitted the OBJ
legation to arbitrate the matter n ap-
pointed it's arbitrators. The company was
invited to do likewise, but being notified
that in accordance with the common law
of nations 1t must name N~fcaraguans as
arbitrators, it failed to do so. On the 31st
of January the Nicaraguan fiscal solicitor
appeared before the Superior Court and
asked for a judgment against the company
by default. Since that date the matter has
been held under consideration, and the
United States minister to Nicaragua, Mr..
Merry, has been at Managua seeking to
effect a just settlement of the issue, In
formation has just been received here that,
having decided against the company's
claims, the Nicaraguan government has re-
fused to extend the period of time for the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal by
the Maritime Canal Company and has va
Gated ifs concession.

Permission to Rebuild Destroyed
of No vaIue-Queer
Report by Way of London

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2s.-The ne
gotiations between the United States and
the Porte regarding the American indemni-
ty claims have again been transferred here.
United States Charge d'Afaires Griscom
yesterday handed TO Tewfk Pasha, min
lister of foreign affairs. a note based on in
structions he had received from Washing
ton, the tenor of which has not yet been
made public. II is understood. however.
that it demands prompt payment OF the in
demnity. The note will be discussed at the
council OF ministers to-day. Similar steps
by the other powers are regarded as immi-
nent.
Mr.. Griscom, in the present circum-
stances. declines TO express his views The
only issue at present, however, is the exc
cution of the Porte's repeated promises TO
Minister Straus TO pay the indemnity. After
Mr.. Stratus left the matter remained in
allegiance until the Associated Press dis
patch from Washington, April IL, sharply
reminded the Turkish government that the
question required urgent attention. The
Porte Immediately telegraphed TO the Turk
ish minister at Washington. asking for ex-
plantations for reported strained relations.
The minister replied that he had called at
the State Department and was Informed
that the situation had not yet assumed
a serious character. The words mot yet
seem to have impressed the Porte and on
the strength of this information the Sui
tan issued an trade in regard to the Har-
poet matter, which he hoped would serve as
a sop and defer pressure in the demands
for indemnity, although IL is generally
recognized that permission to rebuild will
be of little value to the missionaries with
out the payment of indemnity. Another
trade. issued April IS. orders Rear Ad-
miral Alameda Pasha to proceed TO Ameri-
ca in order to study the construction Of

BRUSSELS, April 26.-In the Chamber
of Deputies to-day the debate on the mas

of the exploitation of the India rubber in

asserted that the agents of the Belgian
companies, in order to obtain premiums,

guilty of frightful brutality on the ma

their failure to procure the amount de-

The Socialist leader, NJ. Vandervelde, vio-
lently attacked the present regime and
repeated his assertions that the King of
Belgians was himself the chief traficker In
rubber and ivory.
The minister of foreign affairs. M. De
Favoreau, replying, denied that the state
had anything to do with the appointment
OF the agents of the Belgian company, and
he cateSorically affirmed that King Leo
pold possessed no shares in any rubber
company in the Congo Free State, adding
that the government was determined to re-
press any excuses in its territory.
M. Lorand, Socialist, declared that the
explanations of the minister were pitiful
and moved that the chamber insist upon
explanations of the atrocities in the Mon
gala country.
NJ. Woeste, former minister of Justice,
retorted that such a motion constituted
an Insult to the government of the Congo
Free State. and he asked the chamber to

BOSTON, April 26.-Secretary of the Navy
Long was interviewed tonight in regard
to the probable action of the Navy Depart
ment in the case of Captain Chadwick, who
has been quoted as making statements
d~erogatory to Admiral Winfield s.. Schley,
in connection with the battle of Santiago.
Secretary Long stated that the matter
came up just as he left Washington. and
he was not cognizant OF the exact nature
of the captains alleged statements. but in
any event the rules of the department re-
quire that in such an occasion the matter
shall be officially investigated. He said
that the action Of the department, after
the captain explains. cannot be forecasted.
as there may be no truth whatever in the
reports as to what he said, but IL the cap
tain's reply to the departments investiga-
tion Is a reiteration of the previous alleged
statements the case will be carried further,
as the rules designate. Further than this
Secretary Long declined to commit himself.
