DOTED BY FiLIPIKO: FIFTEEN AMERICANS STRANGE LY DISAPPEAR. fcellevedto Hiv Bean Taken Pris oners By Insurgent Dewey Sends Cablegram. Manila Special Admiral Dewey has been notified of the strange disappear ance of J. C. Gilmore and fourteen members of the crew of the United States gunboat Yorktown. On Saturday list the Yorktown an chored off Baler, on the east coast of the Island of Luzon, and about 200 miles from here, where there was a Spanish garrison of about fifty men, which had been defending itself against several hundred Filipinos for months past Lieutenant Gilmore, Ensign W. H. Standley, and a boat's crew were tent up the river from Baler bay to com municate with the Spaniards, the town ef Baler being situated some distance inland. Ensign Standley, who landed at the mouth of the river, reports that he heard some volleys, a bugle call and cheers from up the river, but that the automatic gun, which was part of the equipment of the boat, was not heard firing. Standley later paddled to the Yorktown in a canoe. A search was made for the York town's boat and crew, but no trace of them was found and the Yorktown sailed for Iloilo, from which place her commander cabled to Admiral Dewey his theories that the Filipinos had cap tured or sunk the boat, or that the Spaniards had rescued the American party. A scouting party of American troops found a rebel skirmish line more than a mile long east of Malolos. A sharp fusllade followed, but no losses were sustained. Brigadier General Charles King, who has been taken suddenly ill, and who is unable to continue in command of his brigade, has been relieved of fur ther duty and has been ordered to re turn to the United States on the first transport sailing from here home. DEWEY SENDS CABLEGRAM. Washington, D. C (Special.) The navy department having requested a correction of the portions of Admiral Dewey's dispatch, which were not de cipherable, was today able to furnish the full text of the dispatch, which is as follows: Manila, April 18. Secretary of the Mary, Washington: The Y iktown Tlslted Baler, Luzon, east coast of Luson, P. I., April 12. for the purpose ef rescuing and bringing away the Spanish forces, consisting of eighty sol llers, three officers and two priests, who were surrounded by 400 Insur gents. Some .of the insurgents armed with Mauser rifles, as reported by na tives. Lieutenant J. C. Gilmore, while making an examination of the mouth ef the river in an armed boat, was am bushed, fired upon and captured. Fate unknown, as insurgents refused to communicate afterward. The follow ing are missing: The officer previously referred to, Chief Quartermaster W. Walton, Coxswain J. Ellsworth, Gun ner's Mate H. J. Hygard, Sallmaker'g Mate Vendglt, Seamen W. H. Rynders rC. W. Woodbury, Apprentices D. A. Venvllle, J. Peterson, Ordinary Seamen F. Brisolese and O. B. McDon ald, Landsmen L. T. Edwards, F. An derson, J. Dillon and C. A. Morrlssey. DEWEY. The officials of the navy department aye confident that such of the men of the Torktown as escaped being killed outright in the first ambuscade will be well treated by the Insurgents. Some time ago the war department made In quiries as to -the number of American prisoners held by the Filipinos. In reply General Otis referred to these soldiers and said they were being fairly treated by the Insurgents, he supplying funds to defray the cost of their food. The reports made to the navy depart. ment by Paymaster Wilcox of Dewey's officers who made a trip across the Island of Luzon from Manila to the north coast, described the condition of the Spanish officials who were the pris oner of the insurgents, as very com fortable. In many cases, he said, the officials were only nominally In confinement, being allowed the liberty of the towns. The officials are hopeful that Gilmore mad his men who survived the ambus cade will some day regain their liberty. The department has sent no instruc tions to Admiral Dewey as to the course he shall pursue, believing that be is fully competent to deal with the situation and resting secure In the as surance that he will spare no efforts to rescue Gilmore and his men If they are alive . Duel with Pitchforks Chicago, III., April 24. Armed with pKchforks, Horace Scott, colored, and Edward Zlkmohd, a young white man, fought a duel to death In an alley at the rear of 130 Indiana avenue.

The firs' iress parade held for qul'ie a while b he Third Nebraska regiment was held lere, a large number of citizens being jresent to witness the evolutions. The Third battalion marched on the eautiful parade ground first, followed soon after by the First and then the Second. After the proper movements iad been gone through with and the egiments formed in line the band narched the entire length of the line md returned, playing a choice selec- lon, stopping on the extreme right and ireaking forth with "The Star Spangled 3anner." At the first note the long line if soldiers, facing the west, stood at at- ention, and every hat in the large :rowd of spectators was doffed. The risp breeze made the colors stand out rembling and waving the folds over the leads of the men, speaking protection o all. The red glow of the setting sun, the jlue sky above and the white drifting :louds made the colors of the flag ot iberty. It seemed to the men that the iright stripes of their beloved colors mere reflected on the horizon and the chole heavens had contributed In doing tonor to the stars and stripes. The phenomenon was so striking that was visible to all, and as the last totes of the national anthem were com xleted by the musicians the clear notes irere caught up by the breeze and rchoed and re-echoed by the red hills it Georgia and South Carolina, which .eemed glad to take up the notes to ihow that the sons of the south were eady to unite with the sons of the torth, east and west in defense of the lag and to cheer the national anthem. The scene inspired all with so much atriotism that it was several minutes ifter the music had ceased before hats vere again placed on heads and the conclusion of the parade began. At the completion of the dress parade i review was held by Colonel Vifquain ind the soldierly bearing and straight ines of the men brought forth many ixpressions of admiration. It will be nany a day before the first parade of Jie Nebraska regiment at Augusta will ke forgotten here. GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS 4ames Officers who Will Govern State Institutions. Lincoln, Neb.

ND APPOINTED SENATOR TO REPRESENT PENNSYLVANIA lohn Wannamaker Calls It a New Chapter of Shame for Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Pa., April 15. Matthew Jtanley Quay was Friday declared by a mry of his peers to be not guilty ol Me charge of conspiring to use for his jwn unlawful gain and profit the 'unds of the state of Pennsylvania de- josited In the People's bank of this city. STONE APPOINTS QUAY. Harrisburg. Pa., April 25. Immedi itely on receipt of the news that Senator Quay was acquitted of the ;harges against him. Governor Stone ippointed him United States senator .o fill the vacancy until the next legis- ature meets and notified Vice Presl- lent Hobart, as follows: "Fir: By virtue of the power vested n me as executive of the state of Pennsylvania, under article 1, clause 2, lection 3 of the constitution of the .'nited States, I hereby make tempo ary appointment of the Hon. Mtthew Stanley Quay to be United States sena- or from Pennsylvania until the next neetlng of t.'ie Pennsylvania legls- ature to fill the vacancy now existing n this state. Very respectfully, "WILLIAM A. STONE, "Governor of Pennsylvania." Governor Stone said that In appoint- ng Colonel Quay he felt that he had lone the fit and proper thing.

The authority cited by the governor ays that the governor of any state nay make temporary appointment luring a recess, to hold until the next egislature meets. VIEWS OF WANA MAKER. Philadelphia, Pa., April 25. John A'anamaker made the following state- nent relative to the acquittal of ex- Senator Quay and the latter's appoint ment by the governor as United State lenator: "The acquittal of Senator Quay will e a disappointment to every lover ol ustlce and every friend of good gov- rnment throughout the United States. It records with emphasis the difficulty f convicting potent political defend- ints, charged with public crime, no natter how clear, convincing and over whelming the evidence may be. "The story of the corrupt use and (peculation in public money in Penn- lylvanla Is an old one and has been a natter of notorious accusation against i long line of state treasurers and jolltlcal bosses for many years. Mr. Quay himself has been again and tgaln accused of participation In treas- jry jobbing by the newspapers of this ind other states with circumstantial ietall. Heretofore, however, the basla !or these accusations largely consisted f oral testimony and of allegations by political apponents. The case which terminated today, mlike previous allegations, was found- d exclusively upon documentary proof n his own handwriting, and that of his friends and confederates. The evidence f the guilt did not depend upon the veracity of any man or men, but was mpported exclusively by his own let- er and by written entries and state ments recorded by bis trusted friends ind supporters. "This Is a new chapter of shame for Pennsylvania, a new record of failure n the administration of justice that will do much to encourage corruption. lets and public plunderers generally hroughout the country. The first shout of defiant exultation over his acquittal nag proceeded from the governor ot the commonwealth, who has promptly Appointed him a United States senator without authority In violation of the taw and In defiance of the will of the people as expressed by the votes of the legislature. "Quay has got his technical verdict. but the trial of corruptlonlsts and plun derers will still go on. Chair Combine Chicago, III., April 24.

This is the roint of jaw upon which the case awaited a ruling at the close of the econd day's Msslon. With this out of the way the state continued its case, putting twelve witnesses on the stand, ?ach of whom testified to having been connected in some way with the money. The state gained a very decided ad vantage by the decision of Judge Holmes on the point of admissibility of the evidence by the state tending to jhow that the ex-secretary and not the executive council had the full control ot the work of the compiling of the census and that In all Its workings his office was conducted by himself. In the statement of his decision which overruled the objection of the defend ant's counsel, his honor said he had ;arefully studied all the provisions of the code In regard to the executive round! and the census and found that :he executive council did not have the luthorlty to hire labor for the perform nce of the work or to fix the hire of iuch labor when it might be at work, rhe state is confident of victory.
