I i American Take Seemingly Impregnable Filipino Fort. i SCALED A RUGGED PRECIPICE ! ! Large Body of Insurgents Completely Routed From Stronghold By a Sergeant and Detail of Only Twenty Men. A special of Sunday from Manila t says: Captain Edward P. Lawton's j company of the Nineteenth infantry J has attacked and captured an insur- j gent fort on Bohol island, south of ' Cebu in the Visayan group. This fort was surrounded on all Bides by a precipice and the only entrance to the higher ground was guarded by a stockade with a line of entrechments behind it. Captain Lawton sent Sergeant McMahon and twenty men to climb the precipice and attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party accomplished their task after three hours' climbing through the thick undergrowth of brush and vines that covered the almost perpendicular cliff. They took the enemy by surprise and drove them from the fort. As the insurgents escaped, they had to j pass the remainder of Captain Lawton's company at a distance of 150 yards. Here the enemy suffered terrible losses. The insurgents defended themselves with both cannon and rifles. The cannons were captured and smaller ones were removed, while the larger ones were buried. Captain Lawton, in his report, makes special mention for bravery of Sergeants List and McMahon. General Chaffee has ordered that in . the future complete records shall be kept of all natives taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. Duplicates of the records will be signed in English, Spanish and Tagalog. The Philippine constabulary, which was organized last August, is proving itself a valuable adjunct to the mili t&ry authorities and Is making an enviable record. The United States distilling ship Iris has been aground on a reef near Iloilo for three days past. The United States cruiser New York and gunboat Yorktown have gone to her assistance. The local steamer Alerta, with 200 passengers, including some discharged American soldiers from Olongapo, Subig bay to Manila, is believed to haye been lost. DEFIANT STRIKERS ROUTED.

Hurst, chief coal inspector of the Castner, Curran & Bullitt Company, of Philadelphia; Robert St. Clair, chief coal inspector; Morris St. Clair and William Oldham, sub-coal inspectors; Frazier G.

Va., composing a party of eight, entered the west mine of the Southwest Virginia Improvement Company's collieries for the purpose of examining the true situa lion in regara iu me ixteui ca^iuoi^u and fire in the Baby mine, and up tc midnight had not been heard from. It was supposed that the Baby mine proper had been nut off from the west mine for the purpose of operating the west mine. The large fan in the west mine had ueen started at an early hour Friday morning, and at 11 o'clock it was thought that all gases originating from fire in the Baby mine had been forced from the main portion, and it was considered safe to enter. At 6 p. m. a party consisting of experienced miners, led by Assistant Superintendent King, entered the mine to rescue the party of eight, but forty-five minutes lat?r they returned, having encountered such quantities of black damp as to make it impossible to enter any distance into the mine. Superintendent King was completely overcome by the gas encountered, and was soon in a critical condition. The secretary and treasurer of the Southwest Improvement Company, C. S. Thome, of Philadelphia, is directly in charge of all movements at the mines. The fire originally started in the Baby mine last Thursday morning and which was supposed to have been under control, is now burning furiousIt* All rv* nvr?

The responsibility for the disaster has not yet been fixed. The coroner has held an inquest over the bodies and several of them have been sent to relatives In various parts of the state. The citizens completed arrangements to bury the others with honors.

BLOOD AFFECTS PRISONER. Mrs. Bonine Showed Emotion When Gore-Stained Shirt Was Exhibited. Five witnesses were hea/d Friday in the trial at Washington, D. C., of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine for the murder of 1 James S. Ayres, Jr. Four of these witnesses were police officers who had gone to Ayres' room after the discovery of the body by employees of the ' Kenmore hotel, and the fifth was W. W. Warfield, who was proprietor of the hotel at the time of the tragedy. In concluding his examination in chief of one witness, District Attorney Gould put in evidence the undershirt found on the body of Ayres. It was well stained with blood.

IOWA COMMANDER INSTRUCTED United States Government Has Formally Taken Charge of Isthmian Transit and Will Keep Railway Open. A Washington special says: It is pietty well understood at the national capital that there is to be no bombardment of Colon by either side. While Commander McCrea was given wide discretionary power and nothing was said to him about stopping the ' 1 * i J ! r\r* r Vi Ci C- C uomuarumem une^uv, nciuwwvoo the state department established a precedent in these matters last year when it instructed Mr. Gudger to warn some insurgents at Panama that they would not be allowed to bombard that port. If the government troops on the Pinzon should persist in their purpose, it is said that the commanders of the various warships at Colon would require that ample time be allowed for the withdrawal from the town of all foreigners, and the attacking force, to escape restraint, would be obliged to direct its bombardment with such rare precision as to destfoy the insurgent defenses without harming the railroad property, and even without endangering the passage of trains, conditions probably not to be met. The secretary of the navy Monday cabled Captain Perry, of the Iowa, to assume full command of all the United States naval forces on both sides of the isthmus, is order to assure harmonious operations.

A dispatch received at the navy department from Captain Perry, of the battle ship Iowa, at Panama, reports that fact. Captain Perry says that General Alban has landed with a detachment of men from the Iowa and has started with a train to clear transit and also establish detachments of men to keep it so. Commander McCrea, of the Machias, at Colon, has cabled the navy department notifying the department of the approaching bombardment of that town and asking for instructions. He has been instructed to take such steps as he deems necessary for the protection of American interests at Colon. While no specific statement is made as to the details of this instruction, it is understood that it leaves discretionary with Commander McCrea the preven?

A ripple of excitement was created ;hroughout the state a day or two ago vhen it was learned that Dr. James C.

Napier, chairman of the state board of medical examiners, who 3wore out the warrant, went before I the grand jury and made a formal complaint. The following morning Solid- , tor J. M. Johnson gave out a formal bill of Indictment. Apparently this was a simple case, , but behind it all there is a story which J is of intense interest to the entire medical fraternity in this state. The general assembly of South Carolina, at its last session, passed an act a part of which reads as follows: i "Nothing in this section shall apply ' to regular graduates holding diplomas issued by any college of established reputation in this state which has a ' four years' course of instruction and a standard of not less than 75 per cent on examination and make satisfactory evidence of their standing to the state board of examiners." The state board has no means of ascertaining the fitness of graduates save * by an examination and the public de- i mands that their lives shall not be en- j dangered by incompetent practitioners ^ and see no reason why the Charleston college graduates should thus be favored. ' J The class has employed ex-Governor j John C. Shepard to defend them when- , ever prosecuted, and he is now In Bennettsville to aid T. W. Bouchier, who * is also employed by Dr. Moore. i SOUTHERN PROGRESS. 1 ] The New Industries Reported In the South During the Past Week. 1 Among the more important of the 1 new industries reported for the past " week are bottling works at Browns- . ville, Tenn., and Bay City, Texas; a j $10,000 brick plant at Orange, Texas; < $100,000 brick plant at Charleston, W. i Va.; a cotton gin at New Orleans, La.; i a cotton mill at Stephenville, Texas; a ] $45,000 electric light and power plant ' at Charleston, W.

We heartily indorse the action of our bishop in pledging that proper steps would be taken to have the entire amount of the war claim returned 3 to the government upon the conditions stated by them in their letter. 2.

That a certified copy of this preamble and of these resolutions be duly forwarded by the secretary of this con- ference to the general conference, which is to meet in Dallas, Texas, in 1 May, 1902.
