hour, while the troops rushed waist
deep through the surf under a heavy
but badly aimed rifle fire from the
insurgent trenches and charged right

at the fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos
were captured, mostly non-commissioned
officers. Several insurgent dead
and five wounded were found in a

burrows dug back of the trenches.
About 200 men held their places until
the keels of the beats grated on the
shore, when their Mauser bullets com

Buck pursued the insurgents on the

plurality is a little over 13.000. The

counties, Madison for instance, revers

George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred 3!. '

rectory of St. Paul's Catholic church
in V street near Firteenrh in this city .
shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Jo- j

Rev. Sidney Hurlbur. The ceremony
was of the simplest characte-, accord-
ing to the rites of the Catholic church.
aim uie uuiy witnesses ossiaes me
officiating clergymen were Mrs. Wa&k
ington McLean and Mrs. Ludlusr. -ife
ol Admiral Ludlow, mother and sister
respectively of the bride, and Lieuten
ant Caldwell, Admiral Dewev's secre
tary. The arrangements for the wedding
were made with all the secrecy which
ras attended t&2 whole affair. After
procuring the license for the wedding
yesterday Lieutenant Caldwell called
on Father Mackin of St. Paul's, of
which Mrs. Hazen is a communicant,
and arranged for the wedding this
morning. As Admiral Dewey is not
a Catholic a special dispensation was
lequired, and this was procured by
Father Mackin from Bishop Curtis,
vicar general of the diocese of Bal
timore, who granted it in the absence
of Cardinal Gibbons, who is at present
in New Orleans. Father Mackin went
to Baltimore for this purpose yester
day afternoon.
At 9-45 this morning two cprnages
containing the wedding party drew up
before the modest red brick re.tory in
the rear of Sr Paul's. The general
public had no intimation that the cere
mony was to take place and ejea sin
gle spectator was present as th party
alighted. Admiral Dewey and Lieuten
ant Caldwell quickly stepped from
their carriage and the admiral assisted
the bride-elect and her mother and
sister from the other carriage Mr..
Hazen was gowned in a peaii ray
silk, over which she wore a long sty
lish black wrap trimmed with silver
fox and lined with lavender silk. The
admiral wore a black frock caae. gray
trousers and a silk hat.
Upon entering the rectory they were
ushered into the reception room, where
Admiral Dewey was presenrd to
Father Mackin and the two clergymen
who were to assist in the cerumony.
Upon being presenttrl to Fathei Mack
in the admiral said that he had heard
that Father Mackin had in hij early
years been a sailor and it gave hiui
additional happiness to know that he
was to be married by a cl-:rgi man
who had at one time followed the sea.
Father Mackin and his assistants wore
simple black cassocks.
The ceremony was performed with
the ring, according to the nuptial rites
of the Catholic church.

MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE. Md., Nov. 9. Unoffi
cial returns from Baltimore and all
the counties of the state show that the
democrats practically swept everything
before them in yesterday's contest-
John Walter Smith. Dr. Joshua Her
ring, and Isidor Raynor, their candi
dates for governor, comptroller and
attorney general, respectively, were
elected over the republican candidates
by approximately 11,300 majority. The
official count, it is thought, will not
materially change this.
NEW YORK!
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. Returns .re

York county the largest Tammany plu

was formerly a Heniry George leader.
The independent labor vote, as indi

less than the socialist vote.

The Eleventh district, which in iS96
gave McKinley a plurality of 19,000,
is only about half reported. Eleven
counties in this district give Taylor a
plurality of 1.000 indicating that the
republicans have carried the district

The Goebel people cling to their
claim of a plurality of 5.000 in the
state, these figures being the estimate
made by the nominee himself. At re

CINCINNATI. O.. Nov. 9. The fol
lowing is the Enquirer's estimate of
the political composition of the next
legislature ia Kentucky. It is made
up from the best returns obtainable at
the present time. The figures are:
Senate, 26 democrats, 10 republicans,
2 populists; total, 3S. House. 57 demo
crats. 40 republicans. 3 populists; to
tal. 100. This gives the democrats a
majority in the general assembly of
33 votes on joint ballot, exclusive of
the live populists.
KANSAS.
TOPEKA. Kan.. Nov. 9. The re
ports from the elections in Kansas
show republican gains throughout the
state. The votes cast were for sheriff
county clerk, county treasurer, regis
ter of deeds, surveyor, coroner and
commissioner in each of the 105 coun
ties, judges in eight judicial districts,
judges of two courts of common pleas
and two state senators to fill vacan
cies caused by resignations.
Very little interest was taken in the
! election and the vote generally was
light. The excitement incident to tee
big reception of the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment no doubt took the mind?
, of the people off the campaign, and the
, election came before they could line
up properly for the political fray.
! The republicans have elected six of
1 the judges and the two senators to fill
I vacancies. John T. Chanty of Shawnee
' county and C. C. McCarthy of Jeffer-
son. Neither had any opposition.

Analysis of ebraka CoaL
LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 13. The dis- ;
covery of coal in Dakota county has
been the cause of considerable corre
spondence by the governor's office.
The sample was sent to Prof. Nichol
son for analysis and the following
shows the result
Hon. W. A. Poynter. Lincoln. Neo.
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter of
recent date transmitting sample of
coal found in Dakota eounty, request
ing analysis of same. I herewith hand
you copy of analysis, together with
statement of analysis of a good qual
ity cf soft ccai for the purcpse of
comparison.
It seems from the results of tliia
analysis that the Dakota county sam
ple is of rather low grade. Of eoun:e.
the quality may improve as depth is I
gained on the drift. This can only oe
ascertained by further development of
the vein in question. Yours very re
spectfully, H. H. NICHOLSON.
Bryan Plan for a Rest.
LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 13. Mr. Bry
an in talking of his plans for the lu-
ture. said that he would this week go :
on a hunting trip to Colonel Wet-'
more's park in Southwest Missouri. I
and from there he would go to Texas
with Mrs. Bryan. She will spend moot
of the winter there fcr the benefit of
the health of their youngest child.
Jail Dellrery Prostrated.
NELIGH. Neb., Nov. 12. What a
believed to have been a plot for a jail
delivery here was frustrated by the
vigilance of Sherii Brainard. About
II o'clock a stranger was seen loitering
outside the Jail, holding a conversa
tion with a prisoner named Wiity.
alias Wilkins Wilkinson, held far
stealing thirty-four head of cattle from
Huffman & Rollins. The officer seized
the man, who gave a queer account of
himself, and then located the mia
with whom he said he had driven i.c
town.
