Washington, June 9s--Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque inei-
dent of the entire Philippine war oc-
CURED at Catubig, on the island of
Samar, where on April is last party
Of 81 enlisted men of company X, For
ty-third infantry volunteers, held at
bay force Of 600 insurgents during
four days Of fierce fighting, reenforce-
ments arriving just in the nick of
time. The war department has re4
ceived reports from Capt Fl. M. Day,
Of the Forty-third volunteer infantry,
and First Lieut.. j. i, Sweeney. Of
that regiment, who commanded the
rescue party, giving all the details 81
the attack, the siege and the relief.
According to these reports the at
tack on the garrison at Catubig be-
gan without warning on Sunday morn
ing, April is. From the hills on all
sides, from every point of vantage In
the town and from deserted church
directly adjoining came a rifle and
cannon fire Of terrible intensity. On
Tuesday morning handfuls of burning
hemp were thrown into the barracks
from the insurgents in the church.
and soon the soldiers refuge was on
fire. All efforts to subdue the fra
failed, and finally the little band made
a dash for the river bank Some were
killed before the bank was reached,
others fell dead in boat IN which
they We're attempting to make the OPP
posite shore, and when trench final
ly was dug with bayonets there were
only 16 of the 81 left to man it.
There for two more days, Corporal
Carson, handling his men with the
Judgment Of veteran, held out under
terrible fire. until Lieut. Sweeney's
command, which had been ordered to
supplement the garrison al Catubig
and was on its way up the river on
the steamer Lao-Ang, arrived. Not
until within quarter of mile Of
Catubig. says Lieut. Sweeney in his
report, did they hear the noise Of the
engagement. Then he realized that
he and his men were sorely needed,
and he ordered the captain of the
steamer to run his boat at top speed.
The Lao-Ang steamed up to Catubig
under a rain of mauser bullets from
both shores. The small boats were
lowered, landing effected, and the
rescuers fought their way through the
open to their besieged comrades in
the trenches, buried the dead within
reach, brought back to the boat the
besieged party, numbering now only
10 men, and then steamed down the
river.
Capt. Day bestows the highest com
mendation upon Corporal Carson as
displaying extraordinarily good judg-
ment in the handling of his men,
thereby saving the lives of the sur
viyors and protecting the wounded
until relief came" To each Of the lit
tie command and their rescuers he
gives the highest praise. Their zeal
and ability" he says, were fitting
example Of the worth and courage Of
the American soldier"

West Philadelphia, close to the Uni

ings, and is 1h miles from the national
committee headquarters and the hotel
district. transportation to and from
the hall is ample, the facilities in this
respect having been thoroughly tested
time and time again last fall during the
National Export exposition, on which
grounds the great hall is located and to
whom it belongs. The auditorium has
been pronounced by republican nation
al leaders and newspaper correspond
ents, who have attended many ma
tional conventions, to be the most mag
niticent in appearance and the most
complete in every detail of any struc-
ture built in this country for similar
purpose. The acoustic properties of
the hall, in its enlarged condition, have
not yet been practically tested, but ex-
perts are of the opinion that they are
as perfect as can be expected of an au-
ditorium of such size.
The seating capacity of the place is
close TO $4,000. The main floor is pro-
vided with "a entrances. The main
entrance is at the north, and the

THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
VIII Not Go to Canton Until Last Of
Month--TO Receive Political Orr
Eanizations at Washington.

Washington, June 8. - 1t now seems
probable that the president will not go
to Canton until the latter part of the
present month, and certainly not until
after the republican national conven-
ton, which meets in Philadelphia June
10. A large number of letters have been
received at the white house from poIit-
zeal organizations in different parts OF
the country, stating that it was their
intention to stop in Washington for an
hour, or two on their way to the Phil
adelphia convention, to pay their re-
spects to the president. Under these
circumstances the president has de
cided to remain here until after the
convention. 1t is understood that he
has decided not to take the California
trip this SUMNER.
Froday was the anniversary Of Mrs.
McKinley's birthday and many Of her
Washington friends called to offer
their congratulations. A large NUM-
Der of baskets and bouquets Of flowers
and congratulatory kilograms were re-
ceiyed during the day.

the privilege of riding on their cars

ciate very highly, thereby making it
