Mindanao.

Washington, May 2s.--The war depart
ment has made public the report Of Major
General j. c. Bates, U. 5. ", upon an
expedition led by him into Northern
Mindanao, p. l., during the latter part oil
March last. The report in brief says;
Starting out from Manila on March 20,
General Bates and his staff, on the U. ;.
5. Manila, met a transport fleet near the
entrance to the gulf Of Albay with the
10th volunteers infantry aboard and the
expedition then proceeded to and oecu-
pied successfully the towns of Surigao'
Cagayan, Iligan, Misamis and Dapitanon
on the north; Bagangal on the east ana
Zalnboanga, Cottabato, Pollok, Harang,
Davao and Matt on the south coast oil
Mindanao, without firing single shot.
Flags of truce were displayed at all OF the
above mentioned points upon the arrival
OF the American troops and no resistance
of any kind was encountered. At some
of the towns large quantities OF hemp
We're stored and the inhabitants We're glad
of the opportunity afforded by American
occupation to have the ports open. AT
Cagayan the natives, upon the appearance
of the troops, attempted to parley and
delay, but were informed that time for
talking had passed and the troops pre-
pared TO land, whereupon the town i'm
mediately surrendered without resistance.
As each town capitulated, the u 5. flag
was hoisted and the national salute fired.
In some instances the towns were garri-
soned, in others, the local police force was
deemed capable of preserving order. Dur
ing the expedition 24l rifles and 81 bronze
and iron cannon were captured, 81 Of the
latter being left in charge of the com
handing officers at the occupied points.
The remainder were taken TO the arsenal
at Manila.

the Prlnceton-Lafayette match at Eas-
ton, and the Pennsylvania-C Columbia
tussle at Philadelphia. Harvard meets
West Point on the latter's grounds,
and Yale and Wesleyan will battle at
New Haven. A large number OF Scran-
tonians will attend the game at F,aston
and root for Lafayette. The latter team
has great hopes OF holding down the
Tigers, and some of the Easton boys
are even sanguine of success. While
the eleven Is made UP of several new
men they are all good ones, and the
team is especially strong behind the
line. Cure, the new full back, is de-
pended upon to accomplish wonders.
In Thursdays practice he averaged IS
yards to his punts and he is also likely
to drop field goal against the brawny
men from old Nassau. He weighs 100
pounds and when he hits the line. the
opposing line men are aware of the
fact.
Columbia Is also living in hopes Of
downing Pennsylvania. The lattcr's
wretched showing against State. COM
bined with Columbia's splendid work
in the late practice combine in filling
the hearts of the New York enthusiasts
with joyful anticipation. However,
Coach Woodruff will not put any Grip
pied team in the field today. as he did
against State, and the eleven which
will line up against Columbia will rep
resent the strongest foot ball playing
element in the institution.

DECISION IN POLICE MATTER.
One May Be Handed Down Soon by
the Supreme Court.


There may be q final settlement of
the complicated question as to the right
of the mayor OF a thlrd-class city to
remove policemen without the consent
of select council, before the interested
parties in this city expected there
would be.
Mayor Moir received a letter yester-
day afternoon from Mayor Robert j.
Black, of McKeesport, who announced
that Il similar case to the one now
pending in the Superior court, between
Patrolman Saul and the city of Scran-
ton, would come up for argument next
week before the Superior court in ses-
sion at Pittsburg and that an early de-
cision is hoped for.
1t will be remembered that Mayor
Black removed Il number of policemen
and that they applied ror mandamus
to compel his honor to renstate them.
This mandamus was refused by court.
and the officers dubbed together and
appealed the case to the Superior court.
The case differs from the Saul case,
inasmuch as the latter is a suit for SAL
ary, whereas the McKeesport officers
are merely after u reinstatement TO
their position. The same questions are
involved in both, however, the Ale
gheny county judge having decided
that n policeman is public officer, and
as such removable by the mayor with
out action of council, as provided in
the constitution.
Judge Archibald held that a police
man was not a public officer, and was
therefore not removable by the mayor
without the consent Of select council.
If decision is handed down in the
case by the Supreme court 1t will. of
course, settle the matter and Mayor
Moir would undoubtedly withdraw his
appeal to the Superior court.

III the standing of this years Ma
tional league batsmen shows big
"Honus" Wagner, the versatile Pitts
burg right fielder, to lead the big fell
lows with the wand. The eX-Atlantic
Lacquer punished the horse hide to the
tune of .392, and besides leading in
percentage also stands in the first
rank of the "sluggers." "Honus" has
happy faculty of landing on the ball
for two and three -baggers, with an
occasional home run added for varie-
ty that is calculated to drive the aver
age pitcher to the woods. Ever since
his debut into the National league as
member of the Louisville Colonels.
Wagner has been bette noir to Ma
tional league twirlers, last year stand
ing sixth among the batsmen who
had played in over seventy games.
Wagner is an ideal player Since his
National league advent he has played
nearly every position on a team. He
has been stationed all over the outfield,
on all the bases and has even been
used on one memorable occasion in the
box. He Is possessed of one of the
most powerful throwing arms of any
player in the business. and for big
man is very fast on his feet, standing
high among the base runners. Wag-
ner is followed by Pitcher Jesse Tan
nehill, who has played in about thirty
five games and picked off large juicy
average. Little Willie Keeler. of
Brooklyn, Is next. Willie made a bad
start this season, but recovered and
worked his way up by diligently using
his little hickory. Close after these

tor in '93, made twenty-five home runs
and almost countless triples and
doubles, batted 1924 this season for
Boston, and has a homer record of
about five, which wouldn't he bad for
an ordinary long-distance hitter.
Patrucclo Donovan leads the league
in base running, with fortyfour pur-
loined cushions, which really isn't so
many when we think OF the way Ham
iiton and Latham ued to run the
bases, and even of Sheckards record
of seventy eight last season. Had
Sheckard played regularly throughout
This year he would again have led,
as his base running record for the
