WELL ARMED REBELS
ATTACK MACABEBES
Sharp Engagement In Balan-

ONE LIEUTENANT KILLED

Fight Lasted Two Hours and the
Americans Were Finally Compelled
to Retreat and Await Reinforce

MANILA, Oct 10.-A detachment Of
the Twenty first company of Macabebss
today encountered large force of in
surgents near Lipa, province of Balan-
gas. Lieutenant Beauw of the Maca-
bebes was killed and one of the force
was wounded. The enemy was strong
ly intrenched.
After two hours fighting the Ameri-
cans retreated to await reinforcements:
The insurgents numbered over 800, were
armed with Remington and Mauser rifles
and apparently had plenty of ammuni-
tlon.
Martin, a teacher at Mauban, was
captured by insurgents while visiting a
nelghbOring town under an Cscort Of
native police. The next day his cap.

DEMANDS INQUIRY COURT.
Trouble Between Colonel Hisdon and
Lieutenant Colonel Kyle.

Lieutenant Colonel Kyle.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Oct 1O.-Milltary
circles are all agog over the issue that is
on between Colonel E. L. Higdon of the
Third regiment and Lieutenant Colonel
Osceola Kyle. Neither the governors g
office nor the adjutanC general will talk
for the public and She only facts known
are that the colonel some weeks ago
called for the resignation of his lieuten.
ant colonel on the ground that he has
not attended to his duties.
1t Is understood that Kyle demands a
court of inquiry and that he has en-
rlched the correspondence with some ex-
ceedlngly caustic comments on the
career of his commanding officer. The
feeling between the two officers Is very
far from cordial, their antipathy dating
back to the closing days of the Spanish
war when the First Alabama volunteers
were In Florida. Higdon was colonel
and Kyle was major. The latter was
one OF the officers who signed a sort of
''round robin" demanding the colonel's
resignation.
The regiment closed it's career amid
great bitterness. Kyle was elected
when the Third regiment of the nation
al guard was reorganized out of the
first volunteers. He is now judge of
the Decatur circuit court. Colonel Hig-
don was only recently reelected TO his
old place of colonel Judge Kyle Ques-
tions the legality of his election.

The HAMPTON MOVEMENT.
1t Will Be Bitterly Opposed by Nc
Laurtn Element.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 1O.-The sugges-
ton made. by Colonel Jones that he
would withdraw as a candidate for the
United States senate in favor of Gen.
eral Wade Hampton has attracted wide
spread attention among politicians in
Charleston.
The announcement from George John.
stone, another candidate, that he would
take similar steps in General Hampton's
favor has been highly commended, and
it is universally believed that Hampton
could win easily from Senator McLAu.
rim. His great age and intirmity are
against the old soldier. however, al.
though his friends would rejoice to see
him spend his last days in the senate,
from which he was ruthlesSly elected
by the Tillman faction.
Followers of Senator McLaurin are
naturally opposed to the Hampton move
menr, however, for the reason that it is
realized that the junior senator would
have little show in a primary against
the war hero. While the McLaurin ele-
ment has not admitted as much, it is
bitterly opposed to this deal, and quiet
efforts will be used to defeat the pur-
poses of Colonel Jones, Colonel John
stone and others.
General Hampton is not in sympathy
with the McLaur1n movement, and
while bitterly opposed to Tlllman, he is
Democrat and says he will so to his
grave with faultless cOlors.

MISS STONES PERIL.
There May Be a Repetition of the
Muncaster Tragedy.

There May Be a Repetition of the
Muncaster Tragedy.
LONDON, Oct. 1O.-With reference to
the announcement that the Turkish and
Bulgarian troops are surrounding the
abductors of Miss Stone, The Globe
says that it is considered unless the
movement is suspended until she is safe
out of the hands of the brigands there
will infallibly be a repetition of the
tragedy IN Greece during the year 1870,
when Lord Muncaster and a party were
captured.
Lord Muncaster was released in order
to negotiate for a ransom of G25,000.
Then, as now, an attempt was made to
surround the brigands, with the result
that four gentlemen of the party were
murdered.
Lord and Lady Muncaster and a party
of English travellers were seized by
Greek brigands, April II, 1870, at
Oropos, near Marathon. Lord Muncas-
ter and the ladies of the party were sent
to treat for the e25, 900 demanded as
ransom, with free pardon for the
brigands. The latter were surrounded
by troops and, in retreating on April 81,
killed Mr.. Vyner, Mr.. Lloyd, Mr.. Her
bert and Count DeBoyL
The incident caused great excitement,
especially as many influential persons
were charged with connivance at the
brigandage. Several of the brigands
were killed and seven were captured,
tried and condemned May % of the
same year. On June 90 1870, five of
the brigands were executed.

ABOUT BLUE RIDGE ROAD.
Receiver Discharged and Road Will
BE Run Independently.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 1O.-An order has
been signed here by Judge Simonton in
the United States circuit court discharg-
ing E. Q. Beattie, receiver of the Blue
Ridge railroad. Under an order of court
the road was recently sold and was
bought by B. L. Abney and Fairfax
Harrison, for themselves and associates,
and will be operated as an independent
company, although it will be under the
guiding spirit of the Southern railway.
Mr.. Beatrie has been made president
and will continue in charge of it's affairs.
The Blue Railroad extends from Ander-
son to Walhalla. The franchise in.
cludes the projected line beyond Wal
halla to the Georgia line at Rabun Gap.
The purchasers state that the road will
ultimately be completed, and the belief
is that it will be controlled by the South
ern and will be used as the direct line
across the mountains, which will give a
short cut from the great west to the port
of Charleston.

partment has made public the annual

The total number of deaths of officers

low fever has been almost driven from

upon the mosquitoes and the sanitary
precautions adopted. However, during g
the past summer five officers of General
Woods staff were taken i'll with yellow
fever and three of them died. Among
the headquarters employees there were
48 victims to yellow fever, with ii

tifcations left by the Spanish and, sum.
marizing these, he says:
''The behavior of the guns and car.
riages was rather better than was ex.
