REVERSE IN PHILIPPINES.
COMPANY OF INFANTRY ALMOST
 COMPLETELY ANNIHILATED.
The Twenty fourth of tho Ninth Regi- ment Surprised While at Breakfast In the Island of Samar-An of the Com pany Seventy-two Strong Killed Ex- oept Few Who are Reported Wound- ed-Arms and Stores Lost.

Washington, Sept. 29.-News of dis astrous fight between troops of the Ninth infantry and the insurgents in the Island of Samar yesterday was sent promptly by General Hughes, com manding in that island, to General Chaffee, and by him transmitted to the war department from Manila. It reach ed the department during the early hours to-day, and Adjutant General Corbin, realizing its importance. at once made it public after sending copy to the White house. The dispatch Follows:
 Manila Sept 29. "Adjutant General, Washington:
 Hughes reports following from Bas- sey southern Samar: 24th, Ninth reg iment, United States infantry-eleven wounded-have just arrived from Bal angiga. Remainder company killed. and all rifles except twelve. Company was attacked during breakfast morn ing September 2s; company seventy two strong; officers, Thomas w. Con- nell (captain); Edward A. Bumpus (first lieutenant); Dr. R. S. Griswold (major surgeon), escaped.
 (Signed) "Chaffee."
 The news created genuine surprise in official circles. It was the first severe reverse that has occurred for a long time. Still, the officials were not un- prepared for news of just this character from Samar in which the revolution started by Aguinaldo still continues. Samar Is a country about as large as the state of Ohio, and the American forces of occupation number in all be- 1 tween 2000 and 2500 men. These are | distributed among various posts in the | island, a large number being located at | the more important centers. Spain | never made any effort to occupy Samar i and 1t has been for probably three | months past that the United States has undertaken that work The latest re- port made by General Hughes to the war department was that the number of insurgent rifles in the island aggre- gated about 300 The Filipinos car ried on a guerilla warfare, and opera tions against them were difficult. The disaster to Company c, of the Ninth regiment occurred, it is believed, while it was engaged in an expedition to clear the country of rowing bands of these insurgents. The fact that the Americans were attacked while at breakfast indicates the daring and pluck of the insurgents.
 Immediately upon receipt of the dis patch Adjutant General Corbin cabled General Chaffee to send complete re- port of the fight and list of the oasu- alties.
 A well known official of the govern ment, in speaking of this outbreak against the American forces in Samar. said he regarded 1t as a consequence of the assassination of President McKin- ley. He said it was possible that the had received only meagre reports of the tragedy and possibly be- lieved the shooting to be the result of some popular outbreak against the

NAILED THE CHAP.
Her Father I'm the Same Mind,

Il never thought for one moment that
coffee was the cause of my worn-out
feeling and dull headache and energy
all gone until ! began 20 notice that my
bad feelings came on every morning after
drinking coffee for breakfast, no matter
how well | felt when | got up
Il began TO think the subject over and
finally decided to try Postum Food Cof-
fee in place of common coffee and see If
il was coffee that had been hurting me.
After making the change / discovered, to
my delight, that the headache and worn
out feeling did not come on after break
fast.
After a very thorough trial am fully
convinced that coffee was the cause of
my trouble. and that leaving 1t off and
using Postum Food Coffee has restored
me TO health.
My father, who has had very poor
health for several years, quit coffee some
time ago and began using Postum in
place Of 1t. 1t would surprise anyone
to see how much he has improved.
when I boil Postum twenty minutes
and serve it Immediately, while 1t is hot
with good rich cream, ! think Il far ex
cells any coffee.
please do not print my name"

A HEARING ON FINANCE.
Session of the House Committee on
Coinage. Weights, and Measures.

! session OF the House Committee on
Coinage. Weights, and Measures.
| The House committee on Coinage,
! Weights, and Measures held a hearing
| yesterday on the Overstreet, Hill, and
Levy bills, the purpose of which is to re-
enforce the gold standard law Each of
these bills provides for the exchange at
| the option Of the holder OF the gold and
silver coins of the United States. The
Overstreet bill authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to use the gold reserve
fund in the Treasury and the Levy bill
authorizes him to issue per cent bonds.
Those who appeared before the committee
were Secretary Gage. George E. Roberts,
Director of TIE Mint; Representative Low
ering, Representative Levy, and Horace
White of New York
Mr.. White, who was the first to address
the committee, said that he assumed that
the gold standard was now established be-
yond question. This was accomplished
by the law Of March IA. 1900, but that act,
while requiring the Secretary OF the Treas
ury TO maintain the gold standard, pro-
viGed no means and prescribed no methods
for doing this.
The provision in the Hill bill for using
the surplus silver for subsidiary coinage
was tributary to the general end sought,
by diminishing the total amount OF silver
10 be taken care Of 1t spared the Govern
ment the necessity of buying any more
silver for the subsidiary coinage. The pro-
vision in the same bill for the full eX-
chungeability Of the coin of both metals
showed on its face the purpose TO put the
silver dollar upon the same level with the
greenback as far as concerned exchanges
for gold The passage of this bill. Mr..
White said, would cure every defect in
the Gold Standard act.
Mr.. Shafroth enquired whether a re-
dundancy Of silver had ever occurred and
threatened disturbance Of the parity be-
tween the two money metals Mr.. White
answered that such redundancy had oc-
CURED twice in recent years, once in the
Harrison Administration and once in the
second Cleveland Administration.
Mr.. Gaines enquired whether the pro-
posed Legislation would not make the sill
yer dollar mere promise to pay. Yes"
answered Mr.. White, at would make the
silver dollar substantially a metallic
greenback, worth actually about 80 cents
A reference by Mr.. White to his willing
ness to put silver on the same basis as
nickel and copper for making token money
caused Mr.. Ridgley to enquire whether |
it would do just as well to put some /
other metal, harder and cleaner, into the |
