MANILA. Oct. 2S.-The cunstabulary
report fight with insurgents near
Passi. province of lloilo, island of Pa
nay, in which twenty-five insurgents
were killed and three captured, to-
gether with a quantity of arms and
ammunition.
The news from General Hughes re-
garding conditions in the island of
Cebu is encouraging. Lorega has sur
rendered with his entire force and one
cannon and seven rifles. while General
Hughes is negotiating for the surren-
der of MaXilot. who styles himself
governor politicO milltar." His sur
render will mean the pacificatlon of the

Lack of food and the harassing eff
fects of the aggressive tactics now
pursued by the American forces are
having their influence upon the ma
tives. In many places where rice is
doled out by the government only
enough is given for one meal, so that
it is hardly possible for any large
quantity to find its way to the insur-
gents.
1t is believed that the recent mani
festatiOns in the island of Samar were
chiefly due to the lack of food, the in

LoUIsIANA's RACE WAR.
The situation More Quiet-order For
Troops Revoked.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 30.-It Is be-
lievcd that the assistance of the mill
tia win not be needed in restoring or
der out of the race war at Live Oak
Church. near Balltown. La. The latest
advices are such that Governor Heard
has revoked the orders 20 the squad of
fifty of the state cavalry which had
been ordered to the scene and directed
simply that the men hold themselves
in readiness.
The very enormity of the crimes
against life they have cOmmi,t,d
seems to have appalled, the citizens Of
the hamlet at Live Oak Church AID
brought matters to staudstll. l. IL
mates of the Toss of life still vary
greatly 1t Is known that ntiie negroes
and two white men have been killed,
and some insist that the total number
of dead. including those who have
died from wounds since the conflict
is much nearer thirty than dozen
Among those who place the number OF
dead mt thirty is Sheriff Simmons.
\ special from Balltown. La, says
that the race war between the blacks
and whites which started at a negro
camp meeting at Duncan's chapel sun
day forms Il story of blood unequalcd
in the history of the Pearl river valley.
No one is able to estimate the num-
Der of wounded negroes who escaped
the carnage behind the church. They
scattered in all directions. Some are
known to have been shot, but they
have not been found
The conflict ragged for half an hour.
Those at Il distance say the firing
sounded like n battle between troops.

SCHLEY UNDER FIRE
Cross Examination of the Ad.
miral Continued.
PROGRESS OF The COURT is SLOW.
So Much Ground Remains to lie Gone
over Tbnt the End of the
Trial In Not In
sight.

WASHINGTON. oct 3O.-The cross
examination of Admiral Schley was
continued throughout the session of
the court of inquiry yesterday. The
progress made was exceedingly slow.
Practically the whole day was con-
sumed in questioning the admiral
about the cruise from Cienfuegos to
Santiago and the motives and intlu-
ences that governed him i'm turning
back after his squadron had arrived
in the vicinity of the latter port. This
latter branch of the cross examination
had not been concluded when the court
adjourned
The blockade at Santiago. the recon-
noissance on May 81 and the battle of
July 3 still remain to be covered. 1t
is hardly probable that the judge advo-
cate can conclude before adjournment
today After he finishes quite II num-
Der of questions prepared by the men,
bers of the court will he submitted
The judge advocate in conducting the
cross examination used carefully
prepared typewriter list of questions
They called for comparison of state
ments Admiral Syhley had made ci
ther in his direct testimony. in his
communication to the senate or in his
dispatches to Admiral Sampson or the
navy department. with the testimony
of witnesses who have preceded him
and the logs and signal books of the
other vessels of the fleet
The main points to which the cross
examination was directed were the
ability of the ships to coal off Cicnfue-
gos and the reasons for what is known
as the "retrograde movement"
The latter point was dwelt upon with
much emphasis and detail ana had not
been disposed of fully when the court
adjourned. The admiral gave three rea-
sons for turning back-first, the state
ment of Captain Sgsbee, who COM
manded the scoutship st. Paul, that. the
enemy was not in Santiago: second the
opinion of Nunez, the pilot. that the en-
trance was too narrow and shallow foi
the Spanish ships to enter. and, third,
the ambiguity of the departments tele-
gram. In the course of the cross exam
inat!On the admiral said he regarded
the departments dispatch rather as "A
suggestion than as an explicit order. n
suggestion which he carried out after
the sea had abated and the coal supply
of the ships had been replenished.

BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.
SchIey Rehenrses story of the Fa-
nous Fight.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26-Rear Ad-
miral Winfield Scott Schley, testifying
in his own behalf before the court of
inquiry yesterday afternoon, got down
to the subject of the battle of Santiago.
He said that Oh July he had sent
message to Sampson advising him OF
suspicious movements of smoke in San
tiago harbor, and he said, Il am quite
sure it was answered"
Admiral Schley gave the impression
that he expected the Spaniards out He
began detailed story of the battle at
2:15.
The Brooklyn headed direct for the
enemy. After ten or twelve minutes
turning with port helm he saw the lead
Ing ship make rank sheer as if to ram.
Admiral Schley said that when it be-
came apparent that the Spanish ships
had succeeded in passing our battleship
line Captain Cook gave the order to
port the helm.
Il did not" he said. Il would have
done it in second. | asked Cook if
the helm was aport, and he said it was;
hard aport, l think.
The turn was absolutely continuous.
There was no easing of the helm. l
never saw the starboard bow of the
Texas. We never crossed her bow. We
were never within GOO yards of her.
Admiral Schlcy said that the Brook
lyn was within LOO yards at least of
the nearest Spanish ship when the
turn was made.
II saw men running across the
between their legs with my naked
eyes"
Admiral Schley said that at one time
the Brooklyn seemed to be engaged
alone with all the Spanish ships. He
described the killing of Ellis in feeling
language. When they We're about to
throw the body overheard, the admiral
said, he asserted, mo, not that for
one who has fallen so gallantly." He
said that the Brooklyns signal hal
yards were shot away and one of the
speed cones in falling nearly struck
him. 1t fell overheard.
Admiral Schley in concluding his
narrative of the battle. which was
very dramatic, closed ut 3 o'clock as
follows:
"And that ended the battle of Santi-
ago on the Sd day Of July, 1898, and
] must say that | was very much i'm
pressed with the officers and men ell
gagged in that struggle, who fulfilled
in the very highest and very noblest
degree the traditions of the American n
navy"
