Attempt to Destroy it ItrlilRii
Fifty Filipino Killed.
Washington, April 25. Information
received at the war department indi
cates that Gen. Otis is about to execute
another important movement, the ini
tial features of which are shown by the
press advices from Manila. The objec
tive point is the insurgent town of
Calumpit, being' about eight miles
northwest of Malolos. It was here that
the insurgents concentrated after be
ing driven out of their capital, setting
Tip u new capital and making it the
liase of their operations. In moving
on this stronghold Gen. Otis proposes
to conduct two distinct operations. Tlio
first one, under Maj. Gen. MacArthur,
has for its purpose pushing straight
forward from Malolos along the rail
road and striking at Calumpit from the
south. The second one is under Maj
-Gen. Law ton, who, with his Hying
column, is moving far around to the.
northeast, to the large town of
2forzagay, from which point lie
will turn abruptly west toward Calum
pit. The last move will take about ten
days, and military strategists look upon
it as another eil'ort to Hank the insur
gents by getting behind them at Calum
pit, similar to the Hank movement
which Gen. MacArthur attemped to ex
ecute at Malabon.
This double operation makes Calum
pit the center for the next few days,
while attention will be divided between
JMacArthur's column advancing from
Itfalolos, and Lawtou's column on its
.ten days' march by Norzagay. Mae
Arthur has only a short distance to
traverse, so that his force may be en
gaged with the main force of the insur
gents within the next few hours. The
country is lln.tr and open and rather bet
ter for our troops than that lying south
of Malolos. Calumpit lies on the left
liank of a small stream, at its eon
Jlucncc with the large river ltio Grande.
It is a substantially built town, with
rsomo 2,000 houses.
The advance of Gen. Lawton by a
circuitous route will be over a country
jf which little is known here. Norza-jg-ay
is a considerable town and it is
thought Gen. Lawton is about thereby
this time. It is hardly thought, how
ever, that Lawton will make a junction
with MacArthur before striking Calum
pit, but rather that he will leave the
road when ncaring Calumpit, so as to
Ktrike the city in the rear while Mac
Artlnir is attacking in front. The
execution of this double movement is be
ing followed with great interest by war
department ollicials, as it is on a con-
considerably larger scale than the
"brush-clearing which has been in prog
ress recently.
AMKKICAN ADVANCK OK CALUMI'IT.
Manila, April 25. Gen. Hale at four
o'clock p. m. yesterday had crossed the
Tibabag and had reached a position a
quarter of a mile from Calumpit, thus
-commanding the ford. Prisoners cap
tured by Gcu. Hale's troops say Aguin--aldo,
Gen. Luna and the Filipino staff
arc at Calumpit with a great force of
JiMlipino troops.
Before daylight the Fourth cavalry,
with three guns belonging to the Utah
hattery, the Nebraska regiment and
Ttho.Iowa regiment under Hale, were
proceeding in the direction of Kuin
.uhua, where the Tibabag is ford
iable, but commanded by trenches.
During the afternoon the troops crossed
the river. Gens. MacArthur and
AVheaton, with the Montana regiment,
advanced to the left of the railroad and
ithe Kansas regiment moved forward to
ithe right, north of Malolos. They had
with them a long supply train with
two armed cars in front, carrying two
Gatling and Colt's rapid-lire guns and
the six-pounder which did much execu
tion at the capture of Malolos.
The insurgents attempted to destroy
the railroad bridge outside of Calumpit,
.and succeeded in badly warping the
iron framework. As soon as the soldiers
Tleft the Filipino capital, the natives be
gan I'.ocking in, as they did at Santa
'Cruz before the last boat of Gen. Law
ton's expedition had sailed. Our army
is compelled to abandon all towns when
an onward movement is commenced, be
cause of insufficient men to garrison
them. This gives the Filipino leaders
st framework upon which to spin sto
ries of American defeat.
The American commanders have left
.great stores of vice at .Malolos, which
they have been distributing to the na
tives and Chinamen, of whom they have
lieen feeding daily some 2,000 to :!,0()0,
nearly all of whom remained during
the occupation, but who followed the
American army out of the place or who
took trains, going in the direction of
Manila, fearing the rebels would kill
them. These refugees included some
of tlie wealthiest inhabitants of the
place.

THE SCHEME MISCARRIED.

ltescucr Is Captured.
Kansas City, Mo., April 25. A Jour
nal special from Springfield, Mo., says:
There was tin attempted Jnll delivery at U:;W
o'clock last nlKht, and, liad It been successful,
the noted train robber, Hill Kyau, John Ken
nedy and Ulll ijheppnrd, would now bo making
tracks for tall timber. Hut the would-uo
rescuers of tho train robbers frilled, und one of
them Is now behind tlio bars of tho Orcotia
county Jail, where tho train robbers arc confined.
Charles Harnett, alias James Hcnnesy, who had
lust served u thrco months' sentence in Jail for
burglary, appeared at tho Jnll with an un
known accompllco about 1:H0 o'clock armed to
tho teeth. A nolso was mado at tho barn In tho
rear of the Jail to attruot tho attention of Jailor
Milt Hooper und got him to step outside. For
tunately Deputy Sheriff Lamb was present and
both men went out to tho barn to see, what was
the matter. Not Uniting unythlnK wrong they
returned to tho Jail und, Just us tho door was
unlocked and they were about to enter, u
revolver was thrust In tho face of Deputy
Sheriff Lamb by Harnett, with tho com
mand, "Throw up your hands." Tho deputy
sheriff grabbed for tho revolver and succeeded
In getting hold of tho trimmer Just as the des
perado was about to lire. In tho meantime,
Jailer Hooper, who had stepped inside, had
drawn his revolver, and, pointing It out of tho
door, 11 red, but did not hit his man. Tho shot
caused tho other man to run, leaving
his comrade In the hands of tho officers.
When searched, it was found that Har
nett had a razor, a lllo and other Instru
ments concealed upon his person. Tho Inten
tion of the two men was evidently to kill tho
Jailer, whom they expected to find alone, and
then take his keys and unlock thu Inside door,
spring the lever, and In an Instant all tho pris
oners would bavo been loose. Tho ofllcers be
lieve tho plan was concocted by tho train rob
bers during Harnett's conlluemcnt, and he, with
an accomplice', was to carry it out as soon as re
leased. A PROTEST BY GERMANY.
Tlio l.tinguugn Used by dipt. Coglilun
llrought to the. Notice of tlio Wash
ington. Authorities.
Washington, April 25. Tlio German
government has entered a formal pro
test against the language used by Capt.
Coghlan, of the l'aleigh, at the Union
League club banquet in New York last
Friday night. The protest was lodged
with Secretary Hay through the Ger
man ambassador, Herr von llolleben.
Secretary I lay replied that the language
appeared to have been used at a dinner
in a club and so could not be regarded
as an olllcial or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state de
partment in acting. However, the
navy department was fully competent
to take such action as the case seemed
to require. With this statement
the ambassador was content, for
the time at least, and will
doubtless await a reasonable length of
time upon the navy department.
HON. "DICK" OGLESBY DEAD.

Lincoln, 111., April 25. Former Gov.
Itichard J. Oglesby fell dead near this
city at one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He had been in ill-health for some time,
but the end ws unexpected. Gov.
Oglesby was born in Kentucky in
1824 and migrated to Illinois in 18:!(5.
He was admitted to the bar in
1845. He served in the Mexican and
civil wars, rising to the rank of major
general. I le served two terms as gov
ernor of Illinois and served one term in
the United States senate and retired to
private life on his beautiful estate near
Elkhart in 1880.
HE HAS RADICAL VIEWS.
DISASTROUS, BUT SUCCESSFUL
A Sunday Fight wltli the Filipino Near
JMalolox Keults In the Killing of Seven
American and Wounding -i-l,
Manila, April 24. In an encounter
with the Filipinos yesterday near
(Juengua, about four miles east of Ma
lolos, seven Americans were killed and
44 wounded. The following were
killed: Col. John M. Stotsenburg, of
the First Nebraska regiment, formerly
of tho Sixth cavalry; Lieut. Sison (per
haps Lieut. August C. Nisson), of tlio
same regiment; two privates of the Ne
braska regiment, thrco privates of tho
Fourth cavalry. Most of the wounded
belong to the First Nebraska regiment.
Tho Filipinos retreated with small loss.
Tlio engagement developed into a dis
astrous, though successful, light. Tho
insurgents had a horseshoe trench
about a mile long, encircling a rice
field, on the edge of a wood.
Maj. Hell, with 40 cavalrymen, en
countered a strong outpost. One of his
men was killed and live were wounded
by a volley. The Americans retired,
carrying their wounded under lire and
with great dlllleulty, being closely pur
sued, a fog enabling the enemy to creep
up to them. Two men wJkj were car
rying a comrade were shot in the arms,
but they continued with their burden.
Capt. Hell sent for reinforcements to
rescue the body of the killed caval
rymen and a battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Maj. Muilord, arrived
and advanced until checked by volleys
from the enemy's trenches. Tho Amer
icans lay about 800 yards from tho
trenches', behind rice furrows, under
lire for two hours. Several men were
sunstruck, one dying from the effects
of tho heat as they lay there waiting
for the artillery to come up.
Finally the Second battalion arrived,
and then Col. Stotsenburg, who had
spent the night with his father at Ma
nila, came upon the Held. The men
immediately recognized him and raised
a cheer. Col. Stotsenburg, deciding to
charge as the cheapest way out of tho
dlllleulty, led the attack at the head of
his regiment. He fell with a bullet in
his breast, dying instantly, about 200
yards from tho breastworks. Lieut.
Sisson fell with a bullet in his heart,
tho bullet striking him near the picture
of a girl, suspended by a ribbon from
his neck. In the meantime tho artil
lery had arrived and shelled the
trenches.
The Filipinos stood until the Nebras
ka troops were right on the trenches
and then they bolted to the second line
of iutrenchment a mile back. The Ne
braska regiment lost two privates and
had many wounded, including two
lieutenants. Tho Iowa regiment had
several wounded. The Utah regiment
had one olllcer and three men wounded.
Thirteen dead Filipinos were found in
the trenches. Their loss was compara
tively small on account of their safe
shelter. Tho Americans carried the
second trench and held the town last
night.
Dewey Still Investigating.
Washington, April 21. From a dis
patch received by Secretary Long from
Admiral Dewey yesterday it is evident
the latter is still in the dark respecting
the whereabouts of Lieut. Gilmoro and
party, of the Yorktown, who, it is
thought, were ambushed and captured
by a party of Filipinos while on a voy
age to rescue Spanish prisoners near
Haler. Tlie admiral says he is endeav
oring to ascertain the situation of the
lieutenant and his party.
Dr. Jlrewor, of Chicago, Suggests Thut
Hospital Criminals He Killed us u .lleans
of Cheeking Degeneracy.
Chicago, April 25. Dr. Daniel E.
Hrewer, a leading physician ofClilcago,
in a lecture showed the necessity of a
new code of criminal law for Chicago.
He said:
Tho percentage of criminals has increased so
rapidly In tho United States that wo now have
ono habitual or hereditary criminal In overy
thousand jwrsons. Criminals propagate and
multiply unrestrained, and unless wo change our
laws will continue to increase until it is appall
ing to contemplate tho result. If Chicago dews
not soon have a now code of criminal laws, then
It would bo wiser to have a Tarpeian rock, like
tho Komans did, from which malefactors and
degenerates might bo thrown to death. We
should have laws controlling marriages so that
degeneracy may bo checked by preventing the
union of criminal diseased or lunatic couples.

Palmetto, Ga., April 25. The body of
Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
implicated by Sam Hose in the killing
of Alfred Cranford, was found swing
ing to the limb of a tree about one mile
from town yesterday. The ears and
lingers were cut oil' and on the body
was pinned a placard bearing these
words: "Wo must protect our southern
women." Strickland was a negro min
ister, 00 years of Age. Sam Hose, just
as the torch was about to be applied to
the pile of wood under him, near Now
uaii Sunday, admitted killing Alfred
Cranford but said that Strickland had
given lilm 12 to do the deed.

TERRIBLE VENGEANCE.
A Georgia Mob Horribly .'Mutilates a Negro
Accused of Crime anil Then Hums
Him at the .Stake.
Newnan, Ga., April 24. In the pres
ence of nearly 2,000 people who sent
aloft yells of deilance and shouts of joy,
Sam I lose, a negro who committed two
of the basest acts known to crime, was
burnt at a stake in a public road IX
miles from hercyestcrday afternoon. He
fore the torch was applied to the pyre,
the negro was deprived of his ears, lin
gers and other portlonsof his anatomy.
The negro pleaded pitifully for his life
while the mutilation was going on, but
stood tlie ordeal of fire with surprising
fortitude. Hefore the body was cool It
was cut to pieces, the bones were
crushed into small bits and even tho
tree, upon which tho wretch met his
fate was torn up and disposed of as
souvenirs. The negro's heart was cut
in several pieces as was also his liver.
Those unable to obtain tho ghastly rel
ics direct, paid their more fortunate
possessors extravagant sums for them.
