ton Stud Farm has instructed W, D..

WHEAT GOES NEW WAY
From Puget Sound to EurOne
BY Way of Suez.
Big steamer Chartered For the New
Route-TOucb at Various
Asiatic Ports

Portland, Ore, Nov. 2G Something
strictly new in the wheat exporting busi-
ness came to light yesterday in the
charter of the British steamship Glen
turIet by Dodwell & Co., to load on
Puget sound for Europe by wav Of the
orient and S8ez canal. The shipment
which goes out on the Glenturret will be
the first that has ever gone to Europe
by way OF the orient. The Glenturret
which is the first of regular line that
Will ply between Pacific coast ports. will
load on her first outward trip about
5000 tons of wheat and will fill IN the
remainder OF her space with freight for
the orient. She will touch at Yokohama,
Kobe. Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore
and Colombo. There is always a large
local traffic between these ports and the
steamers will discharge and load at each
OF them. Freight offerings from Europe
to the orient are always heavy, and
there will be no difficulty in securing full
outward cargOes for the steamers com
ing this way. They expect to secure
enough through freight from Europe to
the Pacific coast to enable the steamer
to I'LL up her capacity when she leaves
the orient to cross the Pacific.
The GlenlOchy, a sister ship of the
Glenturret, now en- route from the orient
to the Sound to load wheat for Europe.
Will probably renew in the new service.

Manila, Nov. 24.-The fortress of the
insurgent chief, Geronimo, at Pinauran,
which the insurgents bOasted of as i'm
pregnable, was taken and DESTROYED
Thursday afternoon by picked force Of
the FOrty-secOnd and Twenty seventh
infantry and Troop G of the Fourth
cavalry, under Col. Thompson. Geroni-

The leader long harassed the Twenty

ity OF San Mateo, Montalban and Nova

ran, thirty five miles north of Manila
His position was considered the strong

surmOuDtIng a steep hill, surrounded by
canyons. The Spanish force lost heavily
in attempting to take it.
Col. Thompson modified 1000 men at
MOntalban. The attack was made up
on four sldes-the main body under Mai
Carry, OF the Forty second, advancing
from the south; Capt. Atkinson of the
Twenty-seventh, from the east; part of
the Twenty-seventh from the west, and
Capt. Sloan OF the Twenty seventh, from
the north.
Inc ascents were steep, and the men
climbed them by grasping the shrub
berry. 1t was impossible for the eastern
column to reach the summit, but the
others arrived after three hours climb
ing under fire from the fortress and the
| hillside intrenchments. The enemy 8

The Americans destroyed a thousand
insurgent uniforms, scores of buildings
and large quantities Of supplies, and
seized barrel full of documents.
Private Hart of the Twcnty-seventh,
Private Kopner Of the Forty second and
two native scouts were killed, and twelve
OF the attacking forces were wounded.
The lnsurgent casualties could not be
ascertained.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Msil advices
from Manila give in considerable detail
the story OF the rescue of Cantain

The fifty men in question were nursu-

Sergeants Williams and Mccarthy.
VINO were IN charge of some of the
wounded, come in Tor particular praise.
They were cut off from the rest OF the
party during the retreat and intrenched
themselves on the hllsides, where they
stood on their assaiants for about
three hours, surrendering after every
cartridge had been exhausted.
Scarcely man in the expedition es-

and IN response to Captain Shields re-
quest allowed some Of his men to secure

Bring Home Volunteers

Washington, Nov. "a -Adjt Gen. Cor
bin authorizes the statement that it is
the intention OF the war department to
bring home from the Philippines TO the
United States every one OF the volun
teers who cares to come, and discharge
them here, on or before the first af July
next, when, under the law the volunteers
must be mustered out. 1t is the expect
alton and hope OF the war department
that the coming congress will, early in
it's session, enact legislation which will
enable the department to replace the
present volunteer force by a permanent
force. In that case such of the men in
the ranks as care to remain in the serv-
ice will be renlisted as regulars, and any
vacancies that may exist through the
muster out of the volunteers will be sup
piled by original enlistments in the
United States. 1t is believed these en-
listments can be made in time to replace
all the retired Philippine volunteers be-
fore the first of the next fiscal year,
without causing hiatus

NEW WAR TAX BILL.
Progress Made by the Ways and
Means Committee.

NNS DJ !" d1B anu
Means Committee.
Washington Nov. 24.-The sub-com-
mittee OF the republican ways and means
committee held short session TODAY
and adjourned until Monday. The sub
committee has not yet compile ed the
draft OF the bill, but is making progress.
1t If stated that it is not likely that
the general outlines agreed on will be
changed before the bill goes to the full
committee, dnless there is a great pres
sure among republican members az they
arrive in the city. 1t is understood that
IN addition to reductions heretofore men
toned, the increase of so cents per 1000
on cigars will be removed; also that the
stamp taxes on steamship tickets will he
taken of because the revenue received
does rot justify the difficulties of collec-
ton. Members Of the committee have
been asked to remove the stamp taxes on
foreign bills OF exchange and bills OF
lading, and il n possible that that mat
ter may be reOpeDed. The tax on par
lor-car chairs and sleeping berths will
remain.
The most important changes in the
present law will be schedule b. which
practically will be wiped out, and which
includes medicines and proprietary arti-
Giles. The tax also, probably, will be re-
moved from cOnveyances,- mortgages
etc. These with the abolishment of
taxes on express receipts, telegrams,
bank checks and some other stamp
taxes, will, it il said, secure the reduc-
tiOn OF $4,000, 900, which is the
amount agreed upon by the treasury
officials and the committee.
