MANILA, Not. 18. Company S of
the Ninth infantry, under Captain
F, H. Sboeffel, was attacked by fifty
bolomen and several Insurgents arm
ed -with rifles at a point six miles
from Tarangan in the island of 6a
mar. The insurgents tried to rush
the Americans, but, failing to accom
plice their purpose, they quickly
broke and scattered. The men of the
Ninth lost a corporal and a scout,
killed, and one private was wounded.
Sixteen of the bolomen were killed,
while the riflemen escaped.
Ten Hotchkiss rapid Are guns will
be sent to the southern islands for
operations In the mountains. Capt
Herman Hall of the Twenty-first in
fantry has been scouting for several
days in Batangas province.. He had
four separate engagements with the
Insurgents there.
Judging from the firing on these
occasions. Captain Hall estimates the
force of each band of the rebels at
from thirty to fifty. They made no
attempt to charge Captain Hall's
party. Captain Hall's scout resulted
in the capture of one insurgent offi
cer and 50,000 pounds of rice.
General Sumner, commander of the
district of southen Luzon, highly
praises Captain' Hartman and his
troop of the First cavalry, who last
Wednesday morning attacked 400 in

at Buan, Batangas province, and
routed them. . General Sumner says
the blow then administered by Cap
tain Hartman is the most severe the
Insurgents have suffered since t he
(General Sumner) assumed command
of his district.
Owing to the fact that the United

in the inland, seas of Japan and the

opposes United States transports in

The Filipino priest, Deposy, has
been sentenced by court-martial to
the penalty of death for the murder
of certain of bis countrymen who
favored the Americans. Out of re
spect, however, to the condemned

to which he belonged and most un
worthily represented, General Chaffee
has commuted bis sentence to twenty
years imprisonment.
General Chaffee desires it to be un
derstood that the leniency exercised
in the case cannot be1 taken as a
precedent and no person in the

office, however sacred and exalted, as
a protection against crime.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. The an
nual report of Hon. W. R, Merriam,
director of the census, was made pub
lic Saturday by the secretary of the
Interior, to whom it is addressed.
Speaking of the prospect of meeting
the legal requirements for the comple
tion of the four principal reports by
July 1, 1902, Mr. Merriam says:
"The work of tabulating the returns
and results of the field work of the
enumerators and special agents of the
twelfth census has progressed wltb
reasonable celerity. The law provides
that the four principal reports shall
be placed In the hands of the public
by July 1, 1902, and this requirement
has rendered it absolutely necessary
to maintain a clerical force adequate
to complete the work within the pre
scribed period. The statisticians made
estimates of the time needed to finish
the particular branch assigned to each
of them."

Vlgereas CaUl Latter Yields.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. II. In one
of tbe most unsatisfactory prise fighta
ever witnessed in this country James
Jeffries proved tbe victor last night
over Gus Ruhiin. In the fifth round
of what was to have been a twenty
round struggle Ruhiin wilted and then
surrendered to bis peer, to tbe utter
amazement and disgust of tbe assem
bled thousands. No one was more
surprised than Jeffries himself, wbo
asserted tbat although be had deliver
ed one telling blow in the second
round he did not expect to win tbe vic
tory so easily.
Ruhlin's sole explanation of tbe out
some of the fight is that be received
a chance blow which utterly disabled
him and tbat Jeffries persisted In
fighting him low. While Ruhiin will
make no absolute charge of Jeffries
having committed a foul he Intimates
that he was unfairly handled and in
jured as a result. Ruhiin received
the report of bis seconds In this stand,
who say that his was a hopeless case
after tbe second round.
When seen In his dressing room af
ter the fight Champion Jeffries said:
"I was certainly surprised at my
easy victory and Ruhlin's amazing de
feat. While it is true that he did not
punch me hard enough during the five
rounds to cause me any alarm, I be
ll aved him strong and cautious up to
the moment of his collapse and was
surprised when be quit. I certainly
bad no trouble in whipping him and
had the fight gone on the result must
have been the same. Ruhiin was in
accurate and In poor wind and I can
not say tbat he even bad tbe courage
and force that I expected to ecounter
In him. Ruhiin took a 'stiff punch
in the stomach in the fourth round,
which I presume gave him trouble.
Nevertheless I expected him to lose
harder than he did. Ruhiin can
doubtless best explain his own posi
tion, and as for myself I am willing
to meet Sharkey n.txt month and
thereafter to defend as best I can tbe
title I hold."
When Ruhiin went into his dress
ing room be was followed by a gloomy
group of adherents. The defeated
man complained of no pain and mov
ed about - without assistance. He
stated: ' , ',
"I believed from the tap of the gong
that I would win, but as tbe fight
progressed I was beaten down until I
received a blow In the stomach which
I must say was very low. It may not
have been a foul, but no living man
could have survived it. Jeffries de
parted from the written rules and
from the common regulations of box
ing when be threw himself upon me
and wrestled rather than sparred. I
believe that had I not received the
stomach punch which ended me In
the fifth round I would have worn
down Jeffries a few rounds later and
beaten him as a matter of endurance.
I am ready to fight him again and be
lieve that In time I will have the op
portunity of showing that I can de
feat him."

KNOCK AT TKE UNION'S COOH
Oklahesae aad the ladtaa Territory Urge
Their Deasaad far Statehood.
MUSKOGEE, I. T., Nov. 15. Single
Statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
Territory will be brought to a definite
Issue at tbe convention called to meet
in tbe United States court soom here
this afternoon. Tbe date for tbe con
vention wr-s set at Oklahoma City on
October 22. and three hundred dele
gates from each territory have come
to fight out the issue. The supreme
effort of the two territories to -secure
a single statehood form of govern
ment at the next session of congress
will be made.
Tbe issue will, it is believed, be
squarely divided between the political
and commercial interests of the terri
tories. Politicians,' as a rule, it is
conceded, are In favor of separate
statehood. This view, as far as Indi
cations point before the meeting gath
ers, is opposed by tbe business men
of the territories, who want all ave
nues of trade and industry opened
without restriction, and who profess
to believe that this end could not be
secured In making two states of the
territories. This, It is held, Is espe
cially true in Indian Territory, whose
undeveloped natural resources, they
assert, are as rich as can be found In
any state of the union. Among tbe
first delegates to arrive tbe current of
feeling seemed strongly for single
statehood for Oklahoma without de
lay, Indian Territory to be later.
Aside from speech making and the
adoption of resolutions bearing on
tbe subject, tne convention will likely
provide funds to carry on a system
atic campaign of education for state
hood tbat shall finally reach congress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. Tbe Rio
Janeiro correspondent of the Herald
cables: The Chamber ef Deputies has
passed a bill increasing tbe duty on
flour imported in bags instead of bar
rels. There was a lively discussion
over the measure. It was contended
that flour Imported in bags is apt to
contain dangerous germs, but this as
sertion was combated vigorously.
One member of the budget commit
tee frankly declared that the object
of the bill was to protect United States
producers against the Argentine. Af
ter the vote had been ' taken several
deputies said: "The Yankees have
routed the Argentines." ,
Public opinion and tbe newspapers
generally disapprove of the new law,
as It Is known tbat flour from the Uni
ted States arrives in barrels, while
the Argentine product comes In bags.
Newspapers of Buenos Ayres unani
mously condemn tbe measure and re
monstrances will be filed by the Ar
gentine millers.

The Latest rrosn Miss Stoee,
NEW YORK, Nov. 15. Uetks Kara
veloff, tbe prime minister of Bulgaria,
has just been interviewed by tbe Sofia
correspondent of the Journal and Ad
vertiser. Said tbe prime minister:
"For humanitarian reasons the min
ister of the interior has undertaken to
tolerate fresh intercourse between the
brigands and an American agent It
is a bad precedent to recognize tbe
brigands, however, indirectly, but we
wish to stretch a point for America and
tbe cause of humanity. The brigands,
wherever they are, can now treat un
molested with the American repre
sentative and safe conduct will be
given to any man or men recommend
ed by Mr. Dickinson. There is no
brigandage In Bulgaria. Turkey is the
cause of brigandage, murder and mas
sacre in Macedonia. Conditions there
are intolerable. Europe has been
moving In a vicious circle regarding
Macedonia since the Berlin treaty. All
the powers agree tbat Macedonia
should have autonomy, but none is
willing to move in tbe matter. Count
Andrassy of Austria was more to
blame than Lord Beaconsfield at tbe
Berlin conference for the present con
dition of Macedonia, which is crying to
heaven for vengeance.
"France patches up Its quarrel with
Turkey, oblivious of liberty, equality
and fraternity for Macedonia; Ger
many Is satisfied with all the material
advantages possible out of Turkey.
The Macedonians themselves may
break the vicious circle and break
Turkey's cruel boast: 'We took yon
by the sword; by the sword we shall
hold you.' All we ask for Macedonia
is autonomy. We do not seek annex
ation. .
"If the American people knew the
kind of hellish barbarity perpetrated
by Turkey in Macedonia tbe voice of
tbe nation which freed . Cuba and
fought tbe most chivalrous and unself
ish war of modern times would awaken
the cabinets of Europe to a sense of
their duty regarding Macedonia."
In conclusion the premier said he
wished tbe United States would estab
lish consulates at Sofia and Pbllllpop
olts, particularly aa Bulgaria is en
tirely agricultural and needs American
agricultural Implements.

Csttle Cattle receipts continue! liberal,
making the receipt for the week to date
compare favorably with last week, and
also with the Mine period of last year.
The demand for the Utter grades was
active, so that the market was brisk
and no Important changes In prices were
noted. There were about twenty-five cars
of corn -fed steers In the yards, and the
equality ot the ottering a whole was
pood. Receipts Included about fifty earn
of cows and heifers. The demand was a
little more active on the better srades
than it was yesterday and Oie market
could be quoted steady, uuiis. veat
calves and stags sold without material
change from yesterdays quotations.
There were not many desirable grades
of Blockers and feeders on sale, so that
anything answering to that description
was picked up In good season st steady
pries. The demand for the common kinds
was limited, the game as It has been for
some time past, and sellers had consid
erable difficulty In disposing of thRt el"
of cattle. There was an active demand
for western range beef steers and as a
result the fifteen cars ofTered sold at
good, strong prices. '
Hogs Receipts of hogs were fairly lib
eral, making the supply for the four
days of this werfk considerably In excess
of both the corrennonding days of last
week an the same days of last year.
The market at this point 0ened up In
good season, with prices a good nickel
higher than yesterday's average market.
As the morning advanced the market took
on more life and prices grew stronger nt
a rapid rate. At the close an advance
of 7',4flte over yesterday's average was
noted. The early sales were mostly at
Sift'. Ijiter on the bulk sold at 5.7V4
and on the clone tS.67H and IT..70 were the
popular prices.
ahpepThere were quite a few sheep
and lambs on sale, but nearly everything
offered was feeders. There were a few
cars, however, of native corn-feds, which
sold at good, steady prices. Packers seem
to be anxious for supplies here, but they
claim that prices ore too high tn com
parison with other points. The feeder
market was not very brisk, as the num
ber of bayers was rather limited. Some
of the better grades sold at Just about
steady prices, but 'aside from those the
market was dull snd weak. Old ewes In
particular are hard to move, and prices
are now considerably lower than they
have been In some time past.

NO PROMISE TO BRIGANDS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 It Is said
at tbe state department tbat no au
thorisation has been sent Consul Gen
eral Dickinson to promise exemption
from punishment of the brigands who
kidnaped Miss Stone, as one of the
conditions of her ransom. In fact,
our government has not authorized

that would bind Its hand In dealing
with the subject in the future, or tbat
would prevent It either from Insist
ing on the punishment of tbe brigands
or from lodging a demand for full In
demnity for tbe money whlcb may be
paid over as ransom for Miss Stone.
There is no disposition to disavow
any of Mr. Dickinson's acts, but the

has not compromised the case. Be
