M1oUEL's ARMY DEFEATED.
In q Fight Near Manila Scouts Were Vic
torious Insurgent Leader May
Have Been Killed

Manila, March 28.-Two companies
of Macabebe scouts signally defeated
the main body of San MiguePs force
near Manila, Friday. 1t is believed
San Miguel was killed. Lieut.. Reese
was seriously wounded. The scouts
lost three men killed and had II
men wounded.
The enemy occupied an entrenched
position midway between Mariquina
and San Francisco del Monte and
had erected a stone fort, which was
garrisoned by 200 men. The First
and Fourth companies of Macabebes,
commanded by Lfeuts. Reese and
Nickerson, attacked the enemy's po-
sition, but as the scouts were ex-
posed to the fire of the enemy in a
manner which placed the Macabebes
at disadvantage, the ieutenants de-
cided after an hours fighting to sur
round the position and charge after
having divided their companies. The
two officers then led q gallant and
successful charge, during which
Lieut.. Reese fell seriously wounded.
The enemy then broke and ran, leav-
ing As men dead on the field, includ-
ing general officer, who is believed
to be San. Miguel, though his identi-
fication is incomplete.

THE OBJECT NOT ATTAINED.
Grout Bill Did Not Check the Sale of Oleo
and the Government Is Not Receiv-
ing Much Revenue.

Topeka, Kan, March 3o.-The Grout
electromagnetic bill passed by
congress year ago has not worked
out as those backing it intended. The
object of the bill was to stop the
manufacture of oleomargarine. The
creamery men of the country pushed
it through congress. But the law
has not stopped the making Of cleo
nor even checked it. More butterine
is now made than ever. The only
thing that the law has done is to
deprive the government of revenue.
Under the old law the government
got two cents tax per pound. Under
the new law the government was to
receive ten cents tax per pound for
colored oleo, and one-fourth cent per
pound for cleo in its natural color,
which is white. The butterine fac
tories are turning out more white
butterine now than they used to turn
out of the colored product, and they
pay only one-fourth cent tax now
where they used to pay cents. The
demand is increasing right along.

ONE PRECINCT COUNTED.
Chicago Election Commissioners Decide u
submit the Lorimer- Durborow Contest
to tire Courts for Settlement

Chicago, March 31-The board
of election commissioners in the
face OF objections by Lorimer's at
torneys decided to count the ballots
in the LoriTner-Durborow congress
sional contest in one precinct and to
make up an agreed case to be carried
to the supreme court. Thereupon
they began to count the ballots with
locked doors. Judge Carter, as legal
adviser for the election board, an
nounced that the counting of one
precinct would preserve the sanctity
of the election law and the principle
for which the commissioners were
contending, and that in view of
pressed matters in connection with
the coming municipal election he
was willing to postpone the counting
of the remaining precincts. The
counting of the ballots proceeded
without interruption and when fin
ished an adjournment of the hearing
was taken until April 10. The cleo
ton board, however, remained in
session, and it's primary object is
believed to be the maintenance OF
authority over the police guard in
anticipation of any move on the part
of Judge Hanecy and the Lorime1
supporters.

TANNING THE MOROS.
Capt. pershing Says One-Man
Power Is Absolutely Essential.
Their Slavery Is Like vassalage or Serfdom
and Is q Part of Their Reifeion-
Have admirable Traits
OF Character.

Washington, March 28.-Capt. John
J. Pershing, Fifteenth infantry, who
has been in command in the Moro
country, in the Philippines, has
written a letter under date of Camp
Vickers, January %, to a personal
friend in the war department., gin
which he gave in detail many inter
esting facts in connection with the
disturbances in Mindanao. Capt.
Pershing says that after he was
placed in charge of Moro affairs by
Gen. Davis, he worked on the theory
that it was necessary to establish
mutual confidence between the Moros
and the United States. He endeav-
ored to demonstrate to them that the
United States is their friend, having
no desire to carry them off into
slavery or to take anything belong
ing to them without paying for it.
This, he writes. is all contrary to
what they have been accustomed to
in the past. The Spaniards and the
Moros could not get along together
well. The Moros were very jealous
of their religion and the Spaniards
tried to civilize them by selling and
baptizing some of them. There were
atrocities committed on both sides
as result of the differences.
Capt. Pershing says that the Moros
do not realize any other kind of gov
eminent than a one-man power. He
says he has been able to keep all the
promises he has made which has
enabled him to be more successful
in command of that district. They
regard him as representing the presi-
dent of America and are somewhat
uneasy as to what his successor will
do The question of slavery is init
mately connected with their
religion and is something of a vassal
age or serfdom and not slavery
known in this country. He thinks
it a subject that should remain un-
touched until it is understood better.
Captain Pershing says the Moros
have some admirable traits of char
acter. "Once friend they all go to
the limit for YOU They are in
dustrious and have splendid rice
fields and other agricultural crops.
The country is capable of great
things from an agricultural stand
point, The country is somewhat like
Mohawk valley and the whole district
can be compared to that about Lake
George. Capt. Pershing says that he
believes the troops could march
around the lake now and be received
in a friendly spirit everywhere ex-
cept at Bacalod. He has a number
of reliable secret service Moros and
they inform him of the conditions
and feeling among their countrymen.

NEW TEACHERS, Law.
&c Was Passed ia Raise the Educattonas
Standard In KaosasNSynepstso OF the
Principal Changes.

Topeka, Kan, March 3O.-Under a
new law, passed by the legislature
at the request of the leading educa-
tors of the state, the standard of
education for teachers is elevated
several degrees. The new rules VIII
cut out about IS per cent. of the
teachers, it is estimated. The exami-
nations are severe. For the purpose
OF helping teachers out, several Kan
sas educators have established a cor
respondence school at Cottonwood
Falls. Only teachers can take the
course. State Superintendent Day
hoff has prepared synopsis of the
principal changes in the new teach
ers' law. It follows:
FirSt-This law in no respect in
vaidates certificates in force at the
time of its enactment, but all flu
ture county certificates must be is
sued in accordance with its provi-
sionS.
Secondary applicant who makes
grade of 90 per cent. or over in
any branch or branches may have
the same credited on a professional
certificate. No grade will be carried
longer than two years. No grades
will be carried from an examination
at which the applicant fails to re-
ceive a certificate.
Third - Professional certificates
are renewable by the county super
intendent upon payment by the APP
plicant of the usual fee of 81, pro-
vided said applicant has complied
with the provision of the law pre-
scribed in section thereof.
Fourth-Any holder of first
grade certificate at the time of the
passage of this law and who has
taught in Kansas for two years i'm
mediately preceding the expiration
of such certificate shall be granted
professional certificate upon pass
ing examination in general history,
history of Kansas, English itera-
not fall below IS per cent. in any of
the above branches.
Fifth-The following changes are
made in the present certificates:
First grade-Minimun age adj
vanced from Is years to 10 years;
natural philosophy omitted; history
of Kansas, algebra and literature
added.
Second grade-Mlnlmum age adj
vanced from II to Is years; algebra
and history of Kansas added.
Third grade-Mininum age adj
vanced from 16 to IS years; history
of Kansas added.
The law provides that persons who
are not less than 16 years of age
and who have completed at least two
years of high school work or it's
equivalent, and persons who now hold
third grade certificates, but who are
not 10 years of age at the time of the
enactment of this act, shall be emit
tied to the benefits of this act. The
law amply protects all holders of
certificates at the time of the pass
age of the law, but advances the re-
qrirements for future certificates.
The professional certificate require
ments are high, but the means of at
tainment are equitable and easy to
the dihgent and studious teacher.

The cutting of the protection levee
at the northern border of the town
has given no perceptible relief in
letting out the water. On the con-
trary, a rise is still in progress gen.
orally throughout the city.
The crevasseo below Greenville is
ABOUT 1000 feet wide and the water
is rushing through at a rapid rate,
overfiowing Issaquena, Sharkey and
a portion of Washington countless

been lost as result of the breaking
of the leveeo and the subsequent
flooding of the country. The negro
woman and five children that were
reported to have persisted were res
cued. Rescue boats are out in every
direction and all refugees brought
to the city are being cared for In
Greenville the water is causing end
less Inconvenience and much dam

are not considered to- be ia danger

tempt to close the break. Later
in the day, however, it was agreed
to continue the undertaking., though
an hands are likely to be called off
if the terrific current washes out
the new lines of cribbing which
were started from both ends of the
levee late yesterday afternoon. In
no event cam the work be completed
inside of a week and unless ample
money is given the next disaster
to. the cribbing is likely to mark
the end of the struggle.
Two ridges between which the
levee caved have prevented the water
from spreading rapidly abore and
below, but the mighty torrent is
filing the lakes and bayOus to the
rear, and in the next fortnight the
Vshole basin from the La Fourche to
the lower limits of cultivated land
in PLAGUE is likely to go under wa
ter, causing inestimable' damage and
