Hundred Rebels in Pits.

MANILA, Nov. 1S.-Company e of
the Ninth infantry, under Captain
F. H. Shoeffel, was attacked by fifty
bolomen and several insurgents arm
ed with rifles at a point six miles
from Tarangan in the island of Sa-
mar. The insurgents tried to rush
the Americans. but, failing to accom-
pliah their purpose, they quickly
broke and scattered. The men of the
Ninth lost a corporal and a scout,
killed, and one private was wounded.
Sixteen Of the bolomen were killed,
while the riflemen escaped.
Ten Hotchkiss rapid fire guns will
be sent to the southern islands for
operations in the mountains. Capt.
Herman Hall of the Twenty-first in
fantry has been scouting for several
days in Batangas province. He had
four separate engagements with the
insurgents there.
Judging from the firing on these
occasions, Captain Hall estimates the
force of each band of the rebels at
from thirty to fifty. They made no
attempt to charge Captain Halls
party. Captain Halls scout resulted
in the capture of one insurgent Off
Ger and $4,000 pounds of rice.
General Sumner, commander of the
district Of southen Luzon, highly
praises Captain Hartman and his
troop Of the First cavalry, who last
Wednesday morning attacked 400 in
surgents entrenched in the rifle pits
at Buan, Batangas province, and
routed them. General Sumner says
the blow then administered by Cap
tain Hartman is the most severe the
insurgents have suffered since he

Owing to the fact that the United
States transports Sheridan, Waldron
and Hancock all met with accidents
in the inland seas of Japan and the
returning party of visiting congress
ment is consequently now delayed
in the latter country, the transport
Thomas, which arrived at Manila
November II, will be Immediately
dispatched to Japan. General Chaffee
opposes United States transports in
future passing through the inland
seas.
The Filipino priest, Deposy, has
been sentenced by court-martial to
the penalty of death for the murder
of certain of his countrymen who
favored the Americans. Out of re-
spect, however, to the condemned
mans calling and the religious body
to which he belonged and most I'M
worthily represented, General Chaffee
has commuted his sentence to twenty
years Imprisonment
General Chaffee desires it to be un-
derstood that the leniency exercised
in the case cannot be taken as a
precedent and no person in the
islands can be permitted to plead his
Office, however sacred and exalted, as
a protection against crime.

THE LAND LEASING TOUR.
Everywhere There is Good Demand and
the Bidding Spirited.

the Bidding Spirited.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 16.-Land
Commissioner Follmer and Deputy
Eaton have returned from their sec
ond land leasing tour in southern Ne
braska and next week they will be-
gin the holding of auctions in the
northwestern part of the state.
I'VE have held auctions in nearly all
counties in the two southern tiers west
of Clay and Nuckolls counties and
have leased approximately $4,000 acres
of land" said Mr.. Eaton. Every
where there has been q good demand
and the bidding has gone consider
ably higher than we expected. The
farmers in the territory we have Wis
tied are we'll satisfied with the pros
poets and are enlarging their farms
wherever they can find vacant land
conveniently situated. The bonuses
offered vary in different sections, but
are unusually high considering the To-
cal crop damage of the last summer.
Next Monday we begin the leasing of
land in the extreme western and
northern part Of the state and from
there we will work eastward into the
Elkhorn valley country

MAY RAISE PREMIUM RATE
state omciaIs Seek a Method to Invest
More School Funds.


LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 13.-The
scarcity of securities of the kind avail
able under the law for the invest
ment of the permanent educational
funds of the state has caused the
State Board of Educational Lands and
Funds to consider raising the usual
premium rate which has been paid by
Treasurer Stuefer. State warrants,
which draw interest at the rate or
5 per cent, are being bought for the
permanent fund at a premium of one
half of / per cent and the premium
usually paid for county bonds Is OF
size that will leave the state rev.
enue of at least 8 per cent. These
rates are governed largely by competi-
ton. There are innumerable bidders
for both state warrants and county
bonds and oftentimes the state loses a
big bunch of securities through the
higher bidding of outside persons.
Former Treasurer Meserve frequently
paid as high as l per cent for state
warrants and when the rate of in
terest was per cent the premium
sometimes was per cent.

hlANY HANDS TAKE CENSUS
Increased Force Needed to Have Reports
Ready on Time.


Ready on Time.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The an
nual report of Hon. w. r. Merriam,
director of the census, was made pub
lie Saturday by the secretary of the
interior, to whom it is addressed.
Speaking of the prospect of meeting
the legal requirements for the compile
tion of the four principal reports by
July 1, 1902, Mr.. Merriam says:
"The work of tabulating the returns
and results of the field work of the
enumerators and special agents of the
twelfth census has progressed with
reasonable celebrity The law provides
that the four principal reports shall
be placed in the hands of the public
by July 1, 1902, and this requirement
has rendered it absolutely necessary
to maintain a clerical force adequate
to complete the work within the pre-
scribed period. The statisticians made
estimates of the time needed to finish
the particular branch assigned to each
of them"

MAY TEST LAWS LEGALITY.
Right to Sell Butterine Questioned Mt
Fremont.


FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 1S.-An inter
esting question has been raised by a
Fremont groceryman in regard to the
sale of butterine. State Food Commits
sioner S. G. Bassett Of Gibbon was in
the city and took the groceryman to
task for disposing of that article with
out state license The latter imme.
diately produced a federal license and
asserted that he was carrying on his
business under that in a manner &C
cording to law. Food Commissioner
Bassett told the dealer that he would
have to take out a license under the
state laws also or be amenable to the
penalties. The groceryman SAID that
he would do so providing Armour's
and Cudahy's packing plants a,
Omaha were also required to obey the
law.
The chief difference between the fed
eral and state pure food laws is that
the former permits the sale of colored
butterine when properly labeled, while
the latter prohibits it altogether. The
local dealer denies that he has ever
sold butterine instead of butter, but de-
clares his business is entirely open and
above board. If people call for butter
they get it, while if they desire the
butterine at the cheaper price he sells
it to them.

Owing to the prevalence of small

some time, and through the state
the case guaranteed here last week
received merely passing notice, and
no fear is entertained by the gener-
al public, owing to the strict quar-
untine established by the board of
health.
Last week it was reported that
Dim Rietf had the small poX. The
Mayor established quarantine at
once and called a meeting of the
local board of health. 1t was decid-
ed to quarantine all persons who
had been exposed in any manner,
whatever, so that there could pos
sibly be no chance of spreading. the
disease and that it might be confin-
ed to the one case. Five houses are
quarantined for exposures but there
seems to be but little danger, at this
time, being, no indications of any
one coming down. Every possible
precaution has been taken by the
local authorities and every one
seems to be fully satisfied with the
existing conditions. The public
need have no fear, even if new cases
break out. as they will be under a
strict quarantine so that it will be
impossible for any one to be ex-
lposed.
