Another Pronlruted by llc : t Work of
tlie Navy In the Kn gage in cut.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Sept. 25.
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
department received a cablegram from
(
Rear Admiral Watson today giving a i
brief account of the engagement at
Subig bay. It is dated the 24th , at
Manila , and says :
"Mandera discovered heavy guns
mounted opposite Kalaklan point , Su-
big bay , exchanged shots with the
Charleston. Sent Charleston , Mon
terey , Concord and Zafiro with detach
ment of marines and sailors from the
Baltimore to capture and destroy. At
tacked insurgent position 23d ; after
bombardiment , landing party carried
entrenchments , dispossessed enemy
and destroyed a 16-centimentcr Krupp
gun.
"Casualties : William Shepherd , ap
prentice second class , Charleston , seri
ously wounded ; Charles Haffke , coal
passer , Concord } heat prostration.
Insurgent fire heavy but poorly
aimed ; enemy's loss unknown. Full
report mailed. "
The important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed
that the insurgents have been able to
obtain Krupp guns. It was known at
the time of the outbreak of the insur
gents against the Americans that the
artillery of the insurgents consisted of
a few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards.
Acting Secretary Allen says that it
is evident that the navy at Manila does
not intend to allow any fort to he
erected which can be reached by the
ships , and he Is convinced that the
squadron under Rear Admiral Watson
will be able to keep the shores guarded
and repeat the lesson of yesterday if
the Insurgents are found to be oper
ating on the coast.
MANILA , Sept. 25. The United
States cruiser Charleston , the monitor
Monterey and the gunboats Concord
and Zafiro , with marines and blue
jackets from the cruiser Baltimore , left
Cavite September 18 and , as already
cabled , proceeded to Subig bay to de
stroy an insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the opera
tion was postponed until yesterday ,
when the war ships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the entrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston. Concord
Zafiro were then landed" under a
heavy insurgent flro , proc erti to the
cannon , which was utterly destroyed 1
by guncotton and then returning to the
war ships.
The Americans had one man wound
ed during the engagement.
While waiting in SubSg bay for bet
ter weather the Americans descried
Filipino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. At 6:40 p. m. yesterday the
Monterey began the advance upon the
town , which was about three miles
east of the Monterey's anchorage. The
Charleston , Concord and Zafiro fol
lowed.

KOBART UNABLE TO PRESIDE.
DUcaxo From Which Ho Suffers Itcijttlrca
Ah.iolnto Kent for J.IMIK Time.
NEW YORK , Sept. 25. The Press
says. It Is possible that Vice I'resi
dent Hobart may be unablj to preside
at the next session of the I'niied
States senate.
More than that , it is now recognized
that it is a serious probability that ho
will not be in physical condition to ac
cept R renomination a * the running
mate of President McKiult/ the
next campaign.
The disease from which Mr. Hobart
suffers is a kidney trouble , not acute ,
but of a form requiring absolute root
for a long time. The fact has been
known to his friends , but this is the
first announcement that his illness is
so serious as to throate'i ai : actual
withdrawal from the duties of nis pub
lic position.
This Illness began wiln L n attack o
the grip in Georgia loat spring. He
retuined thence to Washington , where
he suffered a relapse , being confined to
his house for several weeks. Then ho
went to Long Branch and recovered
sufficiently to join his friend , the jV/vs-
ident , during a part of his outing at
Lake Champlain.
Since his return last Tuesday to his
home In Paterson the vice president
has not visited his office in the Savii-gi
bank building. It is said that he can
make no effort without exhaustion. His
private secretary says : "The trouble
with Mr. Hobart Is that as soon as he
feels strong enough to work he pitches
in so hard that he makes himself ill
again. "
It is now nearly six months since
the vice president , despite long periods
of rest , has been able to devote time
continually to business.

vantage of some legal technicality and
thus end'the case , but John M. Ragan ,

today that no such move had been at
tempted and , furthermore , that Miss
Horlocker is in the city ready to ap
pear before the court in the morning ,
and sign the new bond , after which
she would go her own way.
Her ni-ijenrance in CCUrt today is
inei'Cly ft formal procedure for the pur

PHILIPPINE ARMY PLANS.

Similar to Tlmt la Culm.
WASHINGTON , D. C. . Sept. 23. A
; > lan is under consideration at the war
department to create an army division

manded by major generals. The Phil-
ppines heretofore have been known
us the Department of the Pacific.
It is expected that one department
of the proposed new division will con
sist of General MacArthur's command
north of Manila , another will be Gen
eral Lawton's command south of Ma
nila and a third will be a new com
mand to operate from Lingayen or
Dagupan.

lating to the occupation of churches

of warfare to occupy the churches.

CAPETOWN , Sept. 22. At a meet
ing of the African members of parlia
ment today , Mr. Neething presiding ,
the following telegram was dispatched
to President Krtiger : "We Afrikan
der members of parliament thoroughly
sympathize with our Afrikander rela
tive in trouble. While appreciating
the concessions already made in the
interests of peace , we beg to urge the
expediency of doing the utmost , short
of sacrificing independence , to avert
the horrors of war. While agreeing
that the joint inquiry proposed by
Mr Chamberlain cannot be asked as
a cutter of right , we believe such a
commission will provide a way out of
the difficulties which are fast approaching
preaching a crisis , with results which
might prove fatal not only to the civil
and free state brethren , but also to
the Afrikander party of Cape Colony.
In the presence of immediate danger
and the momentous issues awaiting
the decision of your honor , the exec
utive and the Volksraad , even the risk
of being misunderstood is of a minor
importance. We beg your honor to
lay these words , only dictated by a
keen sense of our common interests
and risks , privately before the execu
tive and Volksraad. "
This message , which was signed by
fifty-three members of parliament , re
ceived the following reply from Pres
ident Kruger : "I wish you ami your
sympathizers will notice , as you have
doubtless already seen by the reply of
the imperial government , that we
have , according to your desire , con
sidered the matter and accepted the
invitation to the joint commission.
Why the acceptance was delayed is
shown by the dispatches published.

CHICAGO , Sent. 22. The Record
says : According to present indications ,
the central west this winter will ex
perience a coal famine the like of
which never before has been known
in this section of the country. Pros
perity , it is said , will be the primary
cause of the famine. Ordinarily at this
season of the year the railroad com
panies , especially those whose lines
connect the cast and the central west ,
derive their greatest benefit from the
transportation of coal from the east
ern fields of this section , but under
the present conditions they are unable
to provide cars for the hauling of the
fuel , owing to the unprecedented hand
ling of other and more profitable com
modities.
