MACABEBES WIN.
Manila Dispatch Tells of Crush
ing Of San Miguel's In
surgent Band.

Manila, March 30.-Two companies
OF Macabebe scouts signally defeated
the main body of San Miguel's forces
today. 1t is believed San Miguel was
killed. Lieutenant Reese was serious
ly wounded. The scouts lost three men
killed and eleven wounded.
The enemy occupied an ~entrenched
position midway between Mariquina,
San Francisco and Del Monte, and had
erected a stone fort, which was garrts-
stoned by 200 men. The First and
Fourth companies Of Macabebes, COM
manded by Lieutenants Reese and
Nickerson, respectively. attacked the
enemy's position, but as the scouts
were exposed to the fire of the enemy
in a which placed the Maca-
bebcs at a disadvantage, the lieuten-
ants decided after an hours fighting
to surround the position and charge,
after having divided their companies.
The two officers then led a gallant and
successful charge, during which Lieut.
enant Reese fell. seriously wounded.
The enemy then broke and ran, leaving
forty-flve men dead on the field, in
Guiding a general officer, believed to
be a Miguel, although his Identified
ton Is incomplete. II Is hoped the
defeat will discourage the disorder in
Rial province.

ENOUGH OF POLITICS.
Governor Herreid In Minnea polls In"
terview Says He Will Not
Run Auain.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.-C"T-
ernor Herreid OF South Dakota, in an
interview here, said that he was out OF
politics from now on, and that In the
future he would-never take any active
part. He believes that two terms of
being governor Of the state Is enough
for any man.
The people OF the state are enjoy
.ng prosperity to an unlimited degree.
Crops were good, and the mineral re-
sources In the western part OF the state
are being developed az a rapid rate.
The mineral district OF the Black Hills,
which is often spoken of as the richest
100 miles square In the world, will soon
double in population. The home mines
did not prevent q scarcity Of coal i'll
Dakota during the past winter, for the
reason hat they are not yet fully
worked up TO their full capacity.
The republican party is in extremely
good shape" he continued, and the
people In the state think and believe
that 1t is taking the right course upon
all public questions.
THE relations between the people of
the state and the railroads are ex-
tremely happy, and with good reason.
Two years G the two great systems
hat operate In the state voluntarily
reduced rates, n this has lessened the
usual amount or talk or putting certain
limitations on the roads. The two sys-
TENS are now putting on extra trains
to take care of the increasing traffic.
The Wash5urn road, built last year,
was Of material assistance. AS a re-
suit OF recent railway extensions sew
eral towns on the Missouri river have
lately come into prominence as ship
ping centers, notably Everts, Pierre and
Chamberlain.
Last year was O. great year for i'm
migration In all parts of the state, and
this year promises to be a repetition Of
the same"
