NO&(k0 1A0s
 MANILA, April 2S.-General Freder- ick D. Grant has ascended the Gendara river, ill the island of Samar, and has brought the insurgent leader Guevarra and his entire command down to the coast. General Grants expedition went up the river in the gunboats Basco and Florida, several steam launches and native lighters.
 Guevarra's command consists of Ra- fael Sebastian, Abaki and 3S other off, cers, 1S9 men and 161 rifles.
 Three hundred insurgents, with 131 rifles, are expected to arrive at Catba- logan, Samar, to surrender formally to the American authorities.
 Three thousand bolomen, twenty eight of them armed with rifles, have just surrendered at Sulat, also in Sa- mar.
 Guevarra succeeded General Lukban to the command of the insurgent forces in Samar when the latter was captured last February. He announced his in- tention to surrender last March.
 At farewell banquet here to the off cers of the Ninth infantry Acting Civil Governor Luke E. Wright paid a glowing tribute to the military forces. He said the army, under circumstances of surprising difficulty, had paved the way for the work of the civil autlori- ties and that only a few cases of fric- tion between the two branches of gov ernment had occurred. He said that General Chaffee, whose opinion might at times have differed from those of the civil authorities, had been a most loyal supporter of civil rule.
 Replying to Civil Governor Wright, General Chaffee said that the officers of the army knew that their duty to the country demanded their utmost ef- forts to sustain the civil authorities and to suppress the rebellion.
 Captain l.. W. V. Kennon of the Sixth infantry reports from the island of Negros' the surrender of the ladrone leader Rufo, with 158 officers and men of his command, together with 12 guns 40 bolos, [ spears and few re. volvers and daggers. Captain KennoD says this surrender means the opening up of the whole of the southern coast of the island of Negros.
 The cholera situation in the islands does not show any improvement Chol- era cases are reported among the American soldiers in the Camarines provinces of southern Luzon and else where, but so far few Americans have been attacked, and the disease is main ly confined to natives and Chinamen.
 Tn Manila there have been 555 cases and 449 deaths from cholera, while the provinces report 1,599 cases and 1,16s deaths.

The Beef Trust Doomed.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-It is au- thoritatively stated that the govern ment has the positive proof in hand to make out its case against the beef trust and that Attorney General Knox is confident of successful issue of the Chicago proceedings.

and to close on September l. A sched- ule was also adopted.
 City Clerk Buckingham this morn ing received a letter from City Clerk NJ. J. Ryan of Waterbury, in which the officials of the latter place accept the challenge of the officials of this city to contest for honors in ball game. The date will be set in the near future. Bridgeport Post. Lindemann, who pitched few games for Waterbury last season, has been heard from and he has signed again for this season. He will have to trot pretty fast, too, if he intends to keep up with the band wagon, for Water bury now has three corking pitchers, and when George Prentiss gets here we will be more than supplied with talent.
 Tom Vickery, the famous pitcher on the Russell &S Erwin baseball nine, has left the employ of the factory. The foreman changed him from a $2 day job to piece work, at which he was able to turn out S1.2O in IA hours labor He inquired of the foreman if he had real good friend and being answered in the affirmative suggested he give him his job. He quit.
 Manager Harrington has challenged the Dublins of Meriden, who trounced the Meriden league team on Saturday. The Dublins did the same thing last season, and Waterbury believes that the Dublins would be easy fruit The Dublins are fast aggregation of ball players, but a better game would be one between the amateur team that played Waterbury here the other day and the Dublins.
 Manager Reisling has released Rob inson, right fielder and Miran and Dro- han, pitchers. Robinson was ill fine condition and was lively on bases, but it was not considered that he was as hard hitter as Ramon. Miller, the l left fielder, has been here for a few days and will play for the first time to day. Miriam and Drohan gave a good account of themselves in the exhibition games, but it is believed that other mer on the staff are their superiors. A cou- pie of good pitchers are yet to arrive The pitching department is thought tC be as strong as any club in the league while in many respects the infield and outfield are stronger.-Hartford Cour ant

It is understood that. the pugilists will be compelled finally to agree on this place in view of the fact that the clubs in San Francisco Just now are at loggerheads as to which organization should get the mill and rather than incur the wrath of the authorities the fighters will eventually consent to box at Los An geles.

FINE OPPORTUNITY

To Buy or Rent Delightful Cottage in
 a North Carolina Winter Resort.
 Lake Waccamaw is delightfully."- situated place in the state of North Carolina. It is more especially known for it's great healthfulness; no malaria, catarrh, throat or lung complaints ex- ist there, inasmuch as the climate is of quite an even temperature the year round. Large forests are in this loca- tion, consisting principally of pine growth which give a healthy balm to the atmosphere continually. The lake is an extensive one and abounds in fish, some of them peculiar to that climate. The principal business carried on there, which is quite extensive, is the manu- facture of shingles from the pine and spruce that grows in the forests. Cot ton is also raised to quite an extent and various kinds of fruits and flowers abound in profusion in the location. For number of years Lake Waccamaw has been a famous resort in the winter for people who wish to escape the cold changeable climate of our northern country A hotel is located there which is usually we'll patronized, Very few cottages are hardly ever to be obtained. At the present time a very eligible cot tage modernized and most comfortably arranged can be obtained at 8 very reasonable rent. It has over an acre of ground, plenty of fruit and nice barn, greenhouse, etc. It is an ideal place for a family of ordinary size who are looking for health and comfort this win ter at a moderate expense. Full par ticulars of the place; it's surroundings; rent, etc.; can be obtained at Beers Photo Studio on Chapel street.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.

Noted by Townspeople-Observed by
 Yale's Astronomers.
 Hundreds of New Haven people wit messed the total eclipse of the moon shortly after midnight. The eclipse was visible throughout North and South America. The moon entered the shad- ow about 11:17 last night and the total eclipse began about 12:19 a. m An hour and thirty-one minutes later or at 1850 a. m. the moon passed out of the shad- ow.
 At the Yale astronomical observatory the eclipse was observed by means of the helimeter. Dr. W. L. Elkin and Dr. F. L. Chase were in charge of the work. While the observation was not of great importance, from scientific standpoint, 1t was of interest to specta- tors and there were many of these at the Yale observatory.
