|MUROS GIVE BATTLE.
Two engagements Fought on the Is.
|. land of Mindanao.
INSURGENTS BEATEN IN BOTH
Red Flags Flying From Their VIII
lagos as a Sign That They In.
tended Fighting to the
Bitter End.

Manila, April 23.-Two engagements
have been fought between the Amer.
lean troops and the Moros on the island
of Mindanao during the past twenty.
four hours.
Moore of the Twenty seventh infan-
try, while out with a small party hunt
ing for water, was fired upon at long
range. Lieutenant Colonel Frank D..
Baldwin, with a battalion Of troops
and mountain gun, went to the as
sistance of Moore's party and drove off
the Moros, who lost seven men. The
firing was at LOO yards range.
The Moro villages were flying red
flags, meaning that they intended to
fight to the uttermost.
Later Sultan PualO and force of ma
tives attempted to reoccupy the ground
gained by the Americans, but the Mo-
ros were forcibly dispersed.
Chief Ganasi Ready to Yield.
Datto Chief Ganasi has sent dele
cation to the American commander
rendering the absolute submission Of
the men under his control.
Brigadier General Davis, In com.
mand at Zamboanga, island Of Minda.
mao, has acknowledged the receipt
from Washington of instructions to
withdraw his troops from Mindanao,
but he urges that, owing to the present
state Of affairs, the withdrawal of the
troops will result in the absolute loss
of American prestige among the Mo-
ros in Mindanao. His orders, however,
are explicit.
Lieutenant Colonel Baldwin and his
forces are beyond the reach Of the tel
egraphic instructions from Washing
ton.
BY orders from Washington the court
martial ordered to try General Jacob

merce has been called with the object

NOT SURE IT'S YOUNG.
Derby, Conn.,, Police Are Hold
ing Suspect Under Arrest.

Derby, Conn.,, Sept. 22.-Chief of Po-
lice Gillette, who has man under ar
rest on suspicion that he is William
Hooper Young, wanted in New York on
account of the murder of Mrs Annie
Pulitzer, was still uncertain this morn
ing regarding the identity of his pris-
Oner.
There is more doubt this morning In
the minds of the police that the prisoner
is Young. Although in many ways the
man answers the description of Young.
his complexion is not extremely dark,
and the teeth of the prisoner do not cor
respond with the description. He has a
reced1ng forehead, very prominent high
cheek bones and a proruding upper lip.
His hair is brownish black
The prisoner talked readily this morn
ing and with a good deal of intelligence.
He says his name is Bert Edwards;
that he is 26 years of age and formerly
lived with his stepfather, Henry Car
ruthers and his mother at $50 Sixth
street, Portland. Ore. He left Portland
on June Is because of a fight with his
stepfather and has since been roaming
about the country. He declared at first
he had not been in New York, though
he afterward contradicted this state
men,
The prisoner said that for the last two
weeks he had been wandering about
Connecticut, having come to this state
from Springfield Mass. He said he had
been in Winsted and Ridgefield.

GIBSON WAS BURNED.
State House Clerk Injured Trying "a
Save q. F. Harmonson.

Capt. A. Gibson, of the state auditors
office, is today wearing a series of BAN
dages on his right hand, while the
other is considerably blistered also. The
burns are the result of attempting to
save George f. Harmonson, the man
who was so badly burned last evening
that he died this morning.
Three fingers on Captain Gibson's
right hand are badly burned. one OF
them SO seriously that the injury may
be permanent, while on his wrist Is an
other place as large as dollar which
was burned raw by the flames. The in
juries were caused by Gibson catching
Harmonson as the latter ran enveloped
in flames, and holding him until he
could strip OF his burning clothing,
which was saturated with oil.
st was in the front part of the St.
Nicholas hotel" said Captain Gibson
when Harmonson started to build d
building. He took with him flve-
gallon can said to contain kerosene
The next we heard was an explosion
which sounded like a bomb exploding
1t seems to have blown the bottom out
of the can and covered HarmOnson with
burning oil. and there was so much
fire in front of him that he could NOT
get through to the front Of the building
He ran out of the back end, up somu
stairs, through a hall and down again
into the room where was, and all the
time his clothing was ablaze. I sup
pose his idea was to get to us. He did
not stop, but 1 caught hold of him and
held him while 1 yanked his clothes
off. and somebody else grabbed q blan-
ket and threw around him."

QUARREL REVIVED.
King Leopold Resurrects q Scandal ct
Queens Funeral.

Brussels. Sept. 22lThe scandal aris-
ing from the revival of the family
quarrel between King Leopold and his
daughter, the Princess Stephanie
(Countess of Lonyay) beside the bier of
the late Queen Marie Henrietta at Spa
yesterday, is agitating all classes. Pop
ular sympathy on all sides is expressed
for the princess, who although deeply
affected by the incident, makes no COM
plant. The princess herself has given
out simple statement Of the facts as
follows:
1.-The precise facts are these: 1 was
praying at the bier of the queen when
someone came about o'clock to tell
me the king would not receive me. I

II was at Cromer, England, when
learned of the death of the queen. Like
a loving daughter and patriot hur-
ried to Spa, to- render the last honors
to my mother.
"As the king has caused an intima-
ton to be conveyed to me that he does
not desire my presence, 1 am going to
Calais where my husband will meet me.
Then shall probably return to Eng
land. There was no scene between the
king and myself at Spa"
The princess will not be present at
her mothers funeral. Princess Steph-
anie started for Calais this afternoon.
She was accorded a most enthusiastic
greeting by large crowds of people at
the railroad station. where cries of
Vive la cOmtesse!' were raised. to
which she replied: 81 thank you with
all my heart"
Then, apparently overcome by the
popular demonstration. the princess
burst into tears.
| 1t was hoped by the public, who ap-
plauded Princess Stephanie's match
with the Count Lonyay, that the death
of the queen would lead to healing the
rupture, but the incident e.t Spa IS
taken to demonstrate that the king iS

Second and Third Street Opening
Again Before Council

In spite of the opinion OF City Attr-
ney Spencer, the ways and means con-
mfttee of the city council may at spe-
cial meeting to be held this evening der
eide to recommend to the council tnat
the action creating the benefit district
in the Fourth ward for opening Second
and Third streets be rescinded. Stronx
pressure is being brought to bear to
accomplish this result. and 1t may sucs
ceed.
There is such weight of political fin-
f1uence back of the proposed move that
it is hard to tell exactlys what will turn
up. Councilman Weber of the Fourth
ward is making a strong fight insbehalt
OF his constituents to have the whol.9
previous action of the council nulii ded.

City Attorney Spencer is inclined to
waver in his former determined position
that there is nothing for the people in

able that they can accomplish their OBJ

claim that the council acted illegally
when it created the district. The as
sessment was not made according to
law, and claim that this renders the
whole thing illegal. The council should
rescind its action. and it will not get
into any trouble by so doing. If the
previous acts of the council had been
legal, then there is no doubt that tbs
owners of property condemned would
have claim against the city, but the
city attorney does not claim that the
acts of the council have been according
to law in all respects"

Special License for Installment Men
Upheld

JudgeHazen decided this morning that
the ToDeka city council has right to
impose a special tax on installment
dealers and other merchants
The decision was made in ruling on the
motion to quash in the case of the CITY
against J. H. Ward, an installment
levied on such dealers is $40 wear
Ward refused to pay it and was arrest
ed by the police. In police court Judge
Magaw assessed the minimum fine of
So. Ward appealed the case. The mo-
ton to ouash was filed by Wards at
torney Juge Hazen held that the city
charter gave the council the right to
assess fines on merchants and that it
also gave the council the right to clas-
sif-- the merchants. The point raised
by Wards attorney was that the action
of the council in imposing the tax was
class legislation. The case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
