MANILA , Sept. 29. The movement
against Porac , about eight miles from
Bacolor , In Pampaiiga province , which
began at daybreak this morning , Is
conducted personally by General Mao-
Arthur. General Wheeler , with the
Ninth regiment and a battery , was ad
vancing by two roads , while General
Wheatou , commanding the Twelfth
nnd Seventeenth regiments , Is moving
to block the Insurgents from retreat
ing to the north. The Thirty-sixth
regiment accompanies General Mac-
Arthur.
Firing has begun near Angeles.
Two Filipino majors came to the
American lines last night with mes
sages regarding the American prison
ers , who wore to arrive this morning ,
hey also requested permission for
General Alejaudrlno , ono colonel and
two lieutenant colonels to visit Gen-
ral Otis. They were refused entrance
to the American Hues until noon Fri
day on account of today's fight , and
Ceneral Alejandrlno alone will bo al
lowed to visit General Otis.
The Insurgents recently entrenched
and garrisoned the town of Paoto , on
Laguna do Bay , in the province of
Laguna. Subsequently Captain Lar
son , commanding the gunboat Napl-
dan , landed for a conference with the
citizens. As he was proceeding up tli3
main street of the town with a squad
he was received witn a volley from a
hidden trench. The party retreated to
their boat under cover of the buildings
and regained their vessel. The Napl-
dan then bombarded the trench for an
hour , completely destroying It.
General MacArthur entered Porao
after an hour's fighting. The Ameri
can loss was slight and the insurgent
loss is not known. The enemy fled
northward. When the Americans en
tered the town they found It prac
tically deserted.
The attacking party moved on Porac
in two columns. The Ninth Infantry ,
with two guns from Santa Rita , was
commanded by General Wheeler , and
the Thirty-sixth infantry , under
Colonel Boll , with one gun , accom
panied General MacArthur from San
Antonio. Both columns struck the
town at 9 o'clock and opened a brisk
fire , which was replied to by the
enemy for half an hour. Then the in
surgents fled and the Americans
marched over their trenches and took
possession of the place. Just before
the fight Smith's command , at Angeles ,
made a demonstration by firing artil
lery up the railroad track
Liscum reported ono casualty and
Bell reported four of his command
wounded. The artillery did not have
any men Injured.
Today's movement was a strategical
success , and resulted in the possession
of Porac and the clearing of several
miles of country thereabout. The
columns , ono from Santa Rita and the
- other from San Antonio , united before
l-
lo Porac , according to program , stretchIng -
Ing around the place for some miles.
The insurgents ai-e estimated to
have numbered GOO men. Ten dead
Filipinos wore found , and the captain
nnd commissary of the Mascarnos
command were taken prisoners. The
American loss Is five killed , but thorp
wore many prostrations from the heat.
The Englishmen from the Insurgent
lines report that the Filipinos at Bam-
liam have 7,000 new Japanese rifles.

recommend Dewey for the post.
"I saw the president last Tuesday , "
said the senator , "in regard to this
very matter. Ho remembered the con
versation wo ad quite distinctly and ,
to my surpise , in detail. I had spok
en of the fighting qualities of Dewey
and McKInley replied : "Yes , but all
naval officers are fighters. ' Then 1
said that was true , but that Dewey was
lovol-headod and that he could take
care of his country and his country's
Interest , no matter how far away he
might be sent. Mr. McKInley remem
bered all this perfectly , 'xnls seemed
to have some effect on the president ,
for ho wrote onto a card these words :
"Secretary Long Assign Commodore
Dewey to Asiatic squadron.
"WM. M'KINLEY.
"Tho president placed thla note be
hind his inkstand on his desk. Then
he said to me : "Senator , that is fixed. '
I told Dewey of this soon afterward
and Dewey said : 'I will celebrate this.
1 il give you a dinner. ' I told Dewey
that ho did not owe me anything , but
as ho was an old friend of mine /

LINCOLN , Nob. , Oct. 2. There
seems to bo a very general misunder
standing regarding the correct Inter
pretation of the election law In respect
to the filing of certificates of nomina
tion and ntntomnnts of oxponso. Can
didates have until twenty-five days be
fore election to file certificates of nom
ination , but their expense statements
must bo on file within ten days after
the convention. According to the general -
oral understanding of the htw It is not
necessary for judicial candidates to fllo
certificates with the secretary of state.
The law in this respect provides that
all persons nominated for any Judicial
or state ofllco by a convention ropro-
b'onting a district larger than a county
shall file certificates with the secretary
of sUite , except as otherwise provided.
Another section provides that Judicial
candidates must fllo certificates with
the county clerks and that they may
fllo them with the secretary of state.
So far only the Fourth district judicial
candidates have fileu certificates.
