Funny Expedition.

The Panama Railroads steamship
Hyades, which arrived Saturday night,

The rebels were known to be close to the

thought he would overawe them. He ac-

EXPECT ANOTHER CLASH
WITH THE STEEL TRUST

CLEVELAND, Nov. PA special to
the Leader from Wheeling, w. Va, saws:
A gigantic fund is a proposition the
lodges of the Amalgamated Association
of Steel. Iron and Tin Workers in the
Wheeling district are now voting on. The
plans call for an assignment on each
member of 10 per cent of each mans
wages.
The lodges that voted against the treaty
proposed by the steel trust are inclined
to stand out for the big contribution. 1t

AND THE GUNS
American Troops Attack a
Filipino Stronghold and In
flict Very Heavy Losses

MANILA, Nov. M.-Captain Edward P.
Lawtons company of the Nineteenth 1n-
fantry has attacked and captured an in
surgent fort on Bohol Island, south of
Cebu, in the Vysayan group.
This fort was surrounded on all sides by
a precipice. and the only entrance to the
higher ground was guarded by a stockade
with line of entrenchments behind it.
Captain Lawton sent Sergeant Mcmahon
and twenty men to climb the precipice
and attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant
McMahon's party accomplished their task
after three hours climbing through the
thick underground. They took the enemy
by surprise and drove them from the fort.
AS the insurgents escaped they had to
pass the remainder of Captain Lawton S
company at a distance Of $50 yards. Here
the enemy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The cannon
were captured; the smaller ones were re-
moved, while the larger ones were buried.
Captain Lawton, in his report, makes spe-
cial mention of the bravery of Sergeants
Mcmahon and List.

With reference to the story that the

II ONDON, Nov. 24-This mornings
dispatches from South Africa
show that the recent fighting near
Nilliersdorp, southwest of Stand

Kitchener reported nothing beyond the
fact that Commandant Buys had been
captured after attacking a patrol of 100
railroad pioneers, was really serious af-

tug Robert Haddon picked UP the Flotbek
yesterday afternoon about dark. The
ship, under command Of Captain Singler,
was bound for New York from Plymouth,
England with a cargo OF white clay and
minerals The tug had a crew Of seven
men and the ship had twenty-four men,
all told All went well until late in the
evening, when the wind attained a We
locity of forty-five knots and the tug was
unable to make neadway.
Tug Lets Ship Go.
The two vessels began to work in shore.
Their danger was seen from the beach
and the life-savers prepared to aid them.
Seeing the struggle was hopeless and that
the only chance Of saving the tug was to
let the ship go, the hawser was cut. The
ship drifted rapidly on shore and struck
well up and close in at point favorable
for work upon her. The tug lost her rud-
der about the time she was freed from the
ship and, driven by the gale, perfectly
helpless, she drifted down the coast and
brought up against the iron pier at Long
Branch and began to pound against it.
The crashing was heard by fisherman.
who reused some citizens. With rope
they went to the pier to aid the seven
men on the tug. Each wave, as it re-
ceded, carried the Haddon away from the
pier, and then as the next came rolling
shoreward the heavy tug would be car
ried on it's crest and dashed against the
piling under the pier or against the steel
work.
Escape to the Pier.
After many efforts, man on the tug
caught the rope which was thrown from
the pier. He hung on and as the tug was
carried away from the pier the man,
clinging to the rope. swung clear of her
and then was hauled up on the pier. Thus
all were saved.
Meanwhile the ship had been looked
after by the Hfe-savers. The rescued sail
ors were taken to Long Branch.
About o'clock in the morning the iron
pier broke in two. The tug had continued
to pound against it and the pfling and
superstructure were gradually weakened
by the blows. The tug, too, was battered
to pieces.
When the pier was carried away one
man, whose name is not known, was
washed into the sea and drowned.
