in response to his inquiry in regard to
recent upl'isings of the pulajames at DO.
lores, Samar. Governor Wrght's mes.
sage is us follows:
with reference to your telegram
regret to say that General Corbin's re-
port of attack on and loss Of dctaCh
ments of scouts at Oras and Dolores
is correct Pulajanes have Of late left
the west and north sides of Samar and
become active on the east coast, which
is practically without harbOr and
very difficult of access during the prev
.ilence of the existing monsoon.
Orders were given some time since
TO strengthen all attachments on the
east coast, but unfortunately this was
delayed by the wreck and loss of u
coast guard boat carrying hundred OF
more of the constabulary.
The men were saved, but the delay
in sending another coast guard boat to
the rescue resulted in leaving these
small detachments at Oras and Dolores
isolated and the consequent loss.
"All the east coast stations have been
heavily REINFORCED. and we are still
sending men in by my direction. Gen
eral Allen. chief of constabuIary, left
Manila two weeks since TO take person

II am still further reinforcing him
with constabulaly and am consulting
with General Corbin. who if necessary
will aid us with troops"
General Corbin's report Of the up
rising is as follows:
The PulajaneS are on the warpath
in Samar in considerable numbers. n
may be judged from the following:
About 400 Pulajanes and several
hundred volunteers joined in an attack
on detachment of twenty Philippine
scouts at Oras, Samar. Killed. one hos
pital corps man; wounded. twelve Phil
ippine scouts; missing. five. said to
have been boloed while in the river. All

A GLOOMY CHRISTMAS.


NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Nan Patter-
son spent gloomy Christmas in the
Tombs, although many folk that sym
pathize with her in her ordeal did their
best to cheer her.
The early forenoon mail brought to
her sixty-one letters, most of them
messages of sympathy, and some Of
them contained money. One inclosed Il
twenty dollar bill She spent the great
err part of the day opening and reading
the letters with the help of Philip
Waldheimer. one of her counsel.
In her mail since the disagreement
of the jury have been several letters of
scurrilous nature, and her lawyers
have adopted the precaution of reading
for her letters evidently from strangers
and not showing such to her.
More flowers arrived for her at the
prison yesterday, but they were re-
fused all but Il half dozen splendid
JacqupminOt roses, which Warden
Flynn sent to her after giving the
bunch Il rigid scrutiny. He explained
that the rule against bouquets is an old
one in the prison and faithfully adj
hered TO. The object is to prevent the
smuggling into the prison of dangerous
weapons or even posons. In the case
of the roses he said he had made an
exception such as he might for any
other prisoner.
Daniel O'Relly, also of her counsel,
gave her Christmas present in the
shape of specially prepared dinner
from a fashionable restaurant.
The father of Nan is in Washington,
but there was a letter from him in the
lot received.
The only callers were man and
finely dressed woman who said they
We're from Washington. but refused to
tell who they We're after they learned
that the day was regarded as a holiday
and that Miss Patterson would not be
permitted TO receive visitors other than
her counsel.

Some people and newspapers are
congratulating the recent legislature
on its enacting of a caucus law. We
confidently expect the law to prove a
disappointment. if not a failure. About
all that can reasonably be expected
of it is that it shows what is needed

legislature of 1906 can pound it into
