MANILA, Nov. 18.—Company E of the Ninth infantry, under Captain K. II.

Tlie men of the Ninth lost a corporal and a scout, killed, and one private was wounded. Sixteen of the bolotncn were killed, while the riflemen escaped. len Hotchkiss rapid fire guns will be sent to the southern islands fur operations in the mountains. Cupt, Herman Hall of the Twenty-first in fantry has been scouting for several days in Batangas province, lie had four separate engagements with the insurgents there. Judging from the firing on these occasions, Captain Hall estimates tlie 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 surgents entrenched in the rifle pits 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 lie (General Sumner) assumed command of his district. Owing to the fact that the United States transports Sherioan, Waldron and Hancock all met with accidents in the inland seas of Japan and the returning party of visiting eongress inent is consequently now delayed in the latter country, the transport Thomas, which arrived at Manila November 12, will be immediately dispatched to Japan. General Chaffee opposes United States transports in future passing through the inland seas. The Filipino priest. Deposy, has been sentenced by court-martial to the penalty of death for the murder of certain of his countrymen who favored the Americans. Out of re spect. however, to the condemned man’s calling and the religious body to which he belonged and most un worthily i cpresented. General Chaffee has commuted his sentence to twenty years’ imprisonment. General Chaffee desires it to be un derstood that the leniency exercised in the case cannot be taken as a nrei.edent and no pbrson in the islands can be permitted to plead bis office, however sacred and exalted, as a protection against crime.

' STOMACH BLOW CAUSES COLLAPSE — Vanquished I'ugllUt C'liti in « Jeffrie* Struck Loiv-‘liaiy Victory ^arpriiM Boiler* maker — Winner Couilderit Opponent Vignrou* Cnt.il l.alter Yield*. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.—In one of the most unsatisfactory prize fights ever witnessed in this country James Jeffries proved the victor last night over Ous Ruhlin. In the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty | round struggle Ruhlin wilted and then surrendered to his peer, to the utter amazement and disgust of the assem bled thousands. No one was more surprised than Jeffries himself, who asserted that although he had deliver ed one telling blotv in the second round ho did not expect to win the vic tory so easily. Kuhlin's sole explanation of the out come of the fight is that lie received a chance blow which utterly disabled him and that Jeftiles persisted in fighting him low. While Ruhlin will make no absolute charge of Jeffries having committed a foul he intimates that he was unfairlj handled and in jured as a result. Ruhlin received the report of his seconds in this stand, who say that his was a hopeless case after the 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 lieved him strong and cautious up to the moment of his collapse and was surprised when he quit. I certainly had no trouble in whipping him and had the fight gone on the result must have been the same. Ruhlin was in accurate and in poor wind and I can not say that he even had the courage and force that I expected to ecounter in him. Ruhlin took a stiff punch In the stomach in the fourth round. liich I presume gave him trouble. Nevertheless I expected him to lose harder than he did. Ruhlin can doubiless besi explain his own posi tion. and as for myself 1 am willing to meet Sharkey next month and thereafter to defend as best I can the title I hold.” When Ruhlin went into his dress ing room lie was followed by a gloomy group of adherents. The defeated man complained of no parin and mov ed about without assistance. He j stated: j “I believed from the tap of the gong : that I would win, but as the fight progressed 1 was beaten down until 1 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 ue 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 (hat I can de feat him.” IOWA MONEY MISAPPLIED. Borird of Control Charge* Abuse of State’s Appropriation*. DES MOINES, la,, Nov. 16.—The second biennial report of the Board of Control of Iowa institutions was issued today.

KNOCK AT Tfir IVON’S DOOR — Oklahoma and the fm-llan Territory Urgr* Their Demand fnr Statehood. MUSKOGEE, I. T.. Nov. 15.—Single statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory will be brought to a definite Issue at the convention catted to meet in the United States court room here this afternoon. The date for the con vention was 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 bo made. The 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 the business men tf tha territories, who want all ave nues of trade and industry opened without restriction, and who profess to believe that this end coukl not lie 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 the first delegates to arrive the current of feeling seemed strongly for single statehood for Oklahoma without de lay, Indian Territory to be later. ( Aside from speechmaking and the adoption of resolutions bearing on the subject, tne convention will likely provide funds to carry on a system atic campaign of education for state hood that shall finally reach congress. fAVORS TUI AMERICAN ELODR l*ruzil iDfreBHfH Duty «m Ttmt Import**!* in 1 iag*. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The Rio Janeiro correspondent of the Heuald cables: The Chamber of Deputies has passed a bill increasing the duty on lloifr imported in hags instead of bar rels.

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 votp hud been taken several deputies said: “The Yankees have routed the Argentines.” Public opinion and the newspapers generally disapprove of the new law, as it is known that flour from the Uni ted States arrives in barrels, while the Argentine product comes in bags. Newspapers of Buenos Ayres unani mously condemn the measure and re monstrances will be filed by the Ar gentine millers. It him I Mall Clerk* In Civil Service.

LONDON, Nov. 15.—It is still im possible to estimate with any exact itude the total loss of life and prop erty resulting from the protracted gale, and probably the full extent of the damage will never be known.

Tsllku are well, but the strain is terrific, and there is dan ger that Miss Stone may lose her mind. To be always in the same sur roundings is likely to drive her crazy; constantly looking at the same objects has semi-mesmerized ner and she has bad a presentment that evil will befall her. “The brigand chief informs me that he will now insist on the full ransom, as the length of time Miss Stone has been left on his hands leaves no mar gin for bargaining. The name of the brigand chief is Dervich Younouss, and he is an Albanian. IglbRlaR A bill p* in f-unbo. SAN JUAN. P.

The consular service of the United States contains not a chapter of cool ness, Intelligent judgment and suceess eessful diplomacy on the part of any consul surpassing this chapter of Judge Osborn's record at Apia. _ SORROW AT HIS OLD HOME How News of Death of Col.
