American Lieutenant's
Brave Charge Near
Cavite.

MANILA, Nov. 25.-Second Lieutenant
Louis J. Van Schaeck of the Fourth In
fantry, while scouting with few men of
that regiment, met $50 insurgents who had
attacked and sacked the hamlet of Sia-
raca near Cavite. Upon seeing the Fill
pinos, Van Schaeck ordered his men TO
charge them. The command was obeyed,
and Van Schaeck, being mounted, reached
the insurgents sixty yards in advance of
his men. He killed three of them with
his revolver. An insurgent fired his re-
volver point blank at Van Schaeck, but
missed. The lieutenant was then knocked
from his horse.
He jumped to his feet and engaged in
a hand to hand conflict with the enemy,
using the butt, of his revolver. He sus-
tanned two severe wounds, one of which
nearly severed his wrist.
At this point the lieutenant's men ar
rived, rescued him and put the insur-
gents to flight. Van Schaeck Is in the
military hospital in Manila and is doing

for a medal of honor for bravery in a

ARE TO INVESTIGATE
MRS. STEPHENS DEATH
Relatives Refuse to Believe That Un-
fortunate Woman Ended Her
Own Life

The relatives of the late Mrs. Emily
Stephens, who was found dead in her
room with the gas turned on and partly
emptied bottle of muriatic acid on the
bureau, refuse to accept the general be-
lief that the unfortunate woman COM
mitted suicide. Her brother, Frank Spen-
Ger. has started an investigation of the
circumstances surrounding her death. He
has had the stomach removed and sent
to the city chemist for examination. He
says he is convinced that she did not take
her own life, but that she was slowly
poisoned to death. Spencer says that he
will file charges with the police to-day.
In the investigation which he made yes
terday Spencer claims that he discovered
that while his sister was supposed to be
breathing her last a neighbor; Mrs;
and ssPolice." He says that he also dis
covered that door and a window leading
into the room where his sister was lying
were open. This, he claims, disproves the
theory that her death was partly due to
a butchers boy, will be deoended upon
by Spencer to bear out his statement in
regard to the open door and window. He
will also endeavor to prove that poison
was introduced into medicine that was
being taken by Mrs. Stephens.

Workers, which was held last night at the
Occidental Hotel, proved a most delight
full affair. Almost a hundred natives of

the festal tables, which were daintily
decorated with ferns. Around the walls
of the banquet hall were strung long
streamers of red, white and blue, while
at each end of the room were suspended
beautiful American flags. The evening
was most pleasantly passed with songs,
which carried the thoughts of many OF
those present back to scenes far away,
and incidents which have happened In the
history of their native State.
The toasts were few in number, but
were responded to in the most happy vein
j. E. Field paid a glowing tribute to the
greatness of the United States of Amer
lea. w w. Stone sang the praises of the
Empire State, while ]. V. Coleman paid
his respects to the beauties of California.

DUNSMUIR, Nov. 25.-While rounding
a curve near Delta, about twenty-four
miles south of this place, nine cars of the
south-bound fast freight train left the
track this morning anG were demolished
Two of the cars, one loaded with beec
and the other with vegetables, were pre-

Although the track is badly torn up for
a considerable distance, the two wreck

debris will put it in condition for trains
in a few hours. No cause is known for
the wreck, although IT is supposed that
the rails spread beneath the heavily load

The most remarkable thing in connec-
ton with the wreck IS that nobody was
hurt Twenty tramps were beating their
way in a boxcar and four others were
riding the rods under a car which turned
