washington. May 5.-Unofficial re-
ports received at the war department
give additional details of the cam
paign resulting in the death of Gen
eral San Miguel and the utter route of
his band Of outlaws by Philippine
scouts, commanded by Lieuts, Nick
ersOn and Reese. The scouts located
San MigueIs band about half way be-
tween CaloOcan and Mariquina, in a
strongly fortified corral and block
house built by the Spaniards many
years ago and so well concealed by
the jungle that IL had escaped dis
covery. Nickerson and Reese and
their men made a gallan attack on
this stronghold under a very heavy
fire from the enemy through loopholes
in the wall surrounding the block
house. The scouts charged over the
wall and engaged the enemy in hand
10 hand combat, driving them into the
fort In this assault Lieut.. Reese was
shot through the leg. San Miguel,
surrounded by a devoted body guard
OF 80 men, undertook TO slip through
. the lire. but being discovered, put up
a plucky running fight- Nickerson
with fifteen men attacked Miguers
party, but withheld their fire until
within short range, when they put
three bullets through Miguels body.
Miguel died gamely, shooting while ly-
ing on the ground, wounded. Six of
his body guard were killed. The re-
mainder escaped in the jungle. The
fight lasted an hour and half. The
Americans lost three killed and ten
wounded. Including Reese, the enemy
lost 40 dead that were counted, and
the Jungle concealed many killed and
wounded. No prisoners were taken.
Many valuable papers were found on
the bodies OF the dead and were said
TO contain evidence against several
prominent officials in the province.

SAYS SECRETARY ROOT AT IN
TERSTATE MEETING.
PLANS OF GOVERNMENT
Problem of Minimum Size of Company
a Serious one-closer Sympathy
Should Exist Between Guarosmen
and Regulars-No Trouble to Get
Soldiers.

Columbus, o., May 5.-The Inter
state National Guard association of the
United States opened here yesterday
with % states and territories repre-
sented. Secretary of War Root and
assistant, with a staff Of regular army
officers, was present and delivered an
address.
Secretary Root was greeted by en-
thusiastic applause. He said in part:
There are only two ways of raising
an army, by CONSUMPTION or by vOlun-
tary service. The national guard is
the great school Of the volunteers. II
is not intended the national govern
ment shall pay the expense of main
tanning the guard, but it is intended il
shall add TO the efficiency, strength and
dignity Of the guard.
"The question now being considered
is the minimum size of the company
and ii is a serious one. Ii should not be
fixed so as 10 kill the organization in
the rural districts, where young men
are not so numerous as in cities. The
required five-days' training is also to
be considered-whatk kind of training,
and many other things are to be de
termined.
Lines should be laid down so that
the regulars and the national guards
men will be drawn closer. 1t too often
happens that jealcusies exist between
officers of the two branches, but that
will be avoided by honest and sincere
work. After the maneuvers at Fort
Riley last the officers of both
branches left, thinking a great deal
more OF each other. The elements
| of one are needed by the other. There
will never be any trouble in raising
soldiers: the trouble will be in the
limit OF the supply and transportation
and equipment. All need arrange
ments and organization. With the
national government performing the
quartermasters' and financial part OF
the work. and the national guard look
ing after the spirit, we can have an
army that the whole round world can
not compete with. The whole ques
ton of efficiency rests upon the Of
ficers and men of the regular army
and the national guard and 1t needs
but the application of a new law in
sympathy and kindness and with due
consideration for others, and we can
not 90 astray."
! After the meeting Secretary Root re
viewed the Ohio state university bat
talon and later the regulars at Colum
bus post.

Justice Brewer yesterday in a case
involving the validity of section 5507,
