in the south; the north has rate
of increase no greater than that of
the south. The statement shows that

CALM AFTER BATTLE.
ualties of Revolutionists
Are Heavy.

Panama, Colombia, Jan. 22.-Ali is
tionary leader, Informed Capt. Mead,
of the United States cruiser Phila-
delphia, that he came here to prevent
the Colombian government using the
steamer Lautaro against the liber-
ais. He had accomplished this, and
therefore retired.
The revolutionists had II wounded
in Tuesdays engagement. The num-
Der killed cannot be precisely ascer-
tanned.
Of the government forces five men
were killed and four wounded.
The exchange of prisoners was re-
sponsible for Mondays disaster to the
government. From the former the
revolutionists heard of the plans of the
government. The Lautaro's circulat-
ing pump was out of order and she
had no steam up when she was at
tackled by the Padilla. The Padilla,
which was recently painted white so
as to deceive the government officers
as to her identity, advanced unrecog-

the Lautaro. She then began firing at
the Lautaro. The position of the lat
ter prevented her from using her two
big guns mounted forward, but she re-
turned the Padilla's fire with her small
after guns. Her gunner, however, was
the first man killed. The foreign crew

Gen. Garcia, veteran officer, has

cHAFFEE REPORTS.
Presents an Interesting Statement
of Military Situation in the
Philippines.

Manila, Jan. 2O.-Gen. Chaffee, in
the, annual report which has just
been issued, sums up the situation
from the military point of view by
saying that the provinces of Batan-
gas and Laguna, in southern Iuzon,
and the islands of Samar, Mindoro
and Cebu constitute the disturbed
area in which bodies OF insurgents
in force are to be found. Gen. Chat
fee says the prolongation of guerrilla
warfare is due to the physical char
acter of the country and to the ma
ture of the warfare carried on by the
insurgents, who in the same hour pose
as friends and act as enemies; to the
humanity displayed by the American
troops, of which the insurgents take
advantage, and to the fear of assas-
sination on the part of those natives
who are friendly disposed toward the
Americans should they give the latter
information concerning the move
ments or whereabouts of the insur-
gents. Municipal and provincial gov
ernments are being organized. These

only certain and reliable method of
ascertaining the progress of the Fill
pinos toward self-government.
A report has been received here
that dug-out canoe, in which II
men of company I, of the Second in
fantry were travelling, is missing and
is probably lost. 1t is believed the
men either persisted or were cap
tured.
Gen. Wade has cabled from Cebu
that 365 insurgents surrendered on
the island of Bohol last Friday. The
authorities here say that this state
ment is astonishing if accurate, as
the secret service had failed to learr
of the existence of any such body Of
insurgents on Bohol.
An important capture was made il

chartered from the Panama Canal
company, absent getting troops at
Chiriqui, the only other government
vessel effective was the ChicuitG,
which had been chartered from the
Pacific Steam Navigation company.
The Chicuito attempted to cut OIL
the Darien and Guiteau, and the Pa
dilla sent three shots from her
heaviest guns at the Chicuito. This
vessel replied with rapid-fire guns,
and the Padilla moved away little,
evidently Inconvenience.
| Moving off, the padilla got within
range of the guns of Las Bovedas, a
fortress, and several shots fell close
to the ship. So far as could be seen
there was no evidence that the vessel
was struck, except that she moved
slowly after the exchange with the
Chicuito. There was great deal of
mancuvering, without any damage be-
ing done.
Fire appeared on the Lautaro about
ten o'clock, or one hour before Gen.
Alban was killed on her decks. The YES
sci was practically deserted afterward
and by IL o'clock many of her dead were
being buried in Panama. The fire grew
in strength rapidly and within an hour
after the generals death drove the last
faithful ones off the ship. 1t was ru-
mored here that the Lautaro was fired
as the result Of treachery.

SEVEN PERISH.
Terrible Result of Burning of West
Virginia Lumber Camp-NictiIas
Unable to Escape.

Hambleton, w. Va, Jan. 22.--About
of the Otter Creek Boom & Lum-
Der company, several miles from here
in the forest, took fire and burned so
rapidly that seven of the 40 men in
there asleep in the building failed to
get out and were burned to death.
Following is list of the dead: John
Mnrrissey. John Riley, George Van
Horn, Arthur Hedricks, Thomas
Hickey, Mike Crannon and Forrest
Manard. Bud Welch was so badly
burned that he is in critical condi-
ton.
1t was not more than five minutes
from the time when the alarm was
given until there was no chance of es-
cape. The camp was % by so feet and
the upper part all in one room, and in
this the 40 men were sleeping. Two
very small windows and the narrow
stairs afforded the only ways of es-
cape, and those who went TO the WIN
dows, a dozen or more, had to jump 10
or Is feet. the others rushing down
the steps like sheep, pushing and tum-
bling and falling over each other.
After they were out some of the men
inside could be seen in the flames, but
not cry came from the building. The
dead were almost entirely cremated.
There were scarcely 40 pounds of the
flesh and bones of all seven brought
here in a little box. The men who es-
capped lost their clothing and were
compelled to travel through eight
inches of snow almost naked to an
other camp a mile away.

Panama, Colombia, Jan. 21.-Mall-
ing their long-expected attack on
Panama from the sea Monday morn
ing, the Colombian liberals. or eX-
reyolutionists, precipitated within the
sight of the citizens naval battle
greater than Panama has seen in
many years. They set on fire and
sank the Lautaro, a government ship,
and one of their vessels the Darien,
in killed and wounded, especially on
the government side. Sailors from
the United States cruiser rescued
many of the wounded.
Gen. Albnn Killed.
More far-reaching in effect perhaps
than the naval fight is expected to be
the death of Gen. Alban, the civil and
military governor of Panama and the
northern coast of Colombia and prac-
1ically dictator in his district. He
was killed leading his men in person
on the steamer Lautaro, which only
q few days ago was seized from a
Gillian company. Standing on the
iIt'i dSSN, ClSouldS MS iASAA
after the ship was atirc, he was
struck by a bullet from rebel gun
boat. He died quickly, and not long
afterward his men We're in full re-
treat from the burning ship. She was
deserted by her crew within an hour
after they lost the inspiration OF
Gen. Adams leadership.
Taken by Surprise.
Slipping into Panama bay Monday
morning at six o'clock, the revolu
tionary vessels Almirante Padilla, 6
Salvadorean gunboat, the Darien ant
the Guiteau practically surprised the
Lautaro, the largest of the govern
ment ships. The Padilla, which has
.an excellent equipment of rapid-firt
guns, went close to the Lautaro, ant
before that ship could make effectiv,
reply to the fire killed or wounded
scores of the Lautaro's crew.
The Darien and Guiteau started il
the direction of long government
sea wharf near the city. This whar
had been fortified by Alban as the re
suit of the capture recently of let
ter that outlined the insurgents
plan.
With the Boyaca, which had beel
