On that day Senator Quay re* * ceived his highest vote, 112-Senators and * Representatives casting their ballots for him. This was thirteen less than tbe f number necessary to a choice, and he never came nearer an election during ' the more than three months of the * struggle. No such bitter political con- ' test was probably eyer before waged in this * oountry. The light has been distinctly on Quay and anti-Quay lines, and both sides u had numerous representatives here at all c times, keeping a close watch on the mem- >' bers and on each other. Both sides prom- I ise that the contest for supremacy will be J carried into every county in the State and a waged incessantly until final supremacy is " assured. The next light will be on the Chairman- si ship of the State Committee.

SAILORS IN AN AMBUSH. Lieutenant Gilmore and a Party From' the Yorktown Captured by Filipinos, SPANISH SOLDIERS ALSO TAKEN.; ?he American Naval Force Surprised Willie Seeking the Rescue of Beleagoered Spanish Troops at Baler, 112 Miles From Manila?Natives Re faged to Communicate Arter tbe AttacK. Manila (By Cable).?Lieutenant J. G. Gllmore and' other officers and landsmen of the gunboat Yorktown, which had been sent to Baler, on [the east coast of tbe lsl* and of Luzon, to relieve a Spanish gar* riaon, are reported mls9lng. There are grave feirs regarding the fate of these. They and the Spanish force they were sent to rescue, numbering eighty soldiers, three offloers and two priests, were ambushed by 400 insurgents, who surrounded and cut them off from reinforcements from the Yorktown. Many of the insurgents were armed with Mauser rifles. Our men returned the fire of the natives gallantly. But the opposing numbers were overwhelming, and the Yorktown officers and men, with the Spanish soldiers and the priests, were made captives. The situation at Baler was almost Inexplicable. It wa3 reported recently that a Spanish garrison besieged by natives at that place was In entire ignorance of the 8panish-Ainerican war and its resul ts. The first reports said that a garrison of fortyseven officers and men had held Baler ever since last May, in all that time having no communication whatever with the outride world. The garrison was believed to be In dire straits. The gunboat Bennington was sent to investigate the story, and, returning, reported It to be true. The Yorktown was immediately made ready and sent to bring away the besieged Spaniards. ADMIRAL DEWEY'S DISPATCH. Kb ry Department Hears of the Capture of Our Men by the Filipinos* Washinoton, D. C. (Special).?The Navy Department has received the following dlspatch from Admiral Dewey: Manila, April 18. Secretary of the Navy, Washington: The Yorktown visited Baler, Luzon, oast coast of Luzon, P.

Edwards, F. Anderson, T. Dillon and C. A. Morrissey. The Admiral's dispatch was the first knowledge the Department hed that the Yorktown had gone on this special mUsion to relieve the Spanish garrison at Baler. That the capture should have been effected while the American forces were on a mission of mercy toward tfle Spaniards, rather Hi?? In fhn nrnappiitlnn nf 11 Mmnnlffn. led I to the belief that Spain would have no further ground four questioning the good faith with which the Americans were seeking to relieve the condition ot the Spanish prisoners. Baler Is the capital of the Province of Principe, and is 112 miles from Manila. Its population is about 1900, and it is the residence place ot a Spanish Governor.

One branch of this committee intends to ask the United States Philippine Commission to make a statement us to what terms ; will be offered the rebels If the latter will surrender. Another branch of the committee will approach Aguluuldo with the terms, and will endeavor to persuade him to accept them. It Is considered doubtful, however, |f any members of the committee will dare to confer personally with the rebel leader. The committee includes several persons recently condemned to death by < Aguinaido for petitioning him to ceuse fighting. FIVE DIPLOMATIC CHANGES.

REEDTO LEAVE CONGRESS Former Speaker Will Practice Law *? W/Mw VA*IT ill iiuvt iuia viwj. He Will Take Up Bit New Duties After a Briet Vacation lu Europe?Will Keilde in the Metropolis. New York City (8peclalj. ? Thomas Brackett Reed will give up bis home and ais political relations in the 8tate of Maine, bis Washington lifo, his Speakership of the House of Representatives, to becom? i member of a New York law Arm. This ha iias decided upon. Mr. Reed will sail for Europe with his (amity soon, spending several months there. On returning he will at once assume his new duties here. THOMAS BRACKETT SEED. Speaker Reed has known the members of the Ilrm for many years and has bad frequent business dealings witbtbem. Though be had received offers to go to the head of several perhaps better known Arms, he early expressed his preference for the one with which he Is to be associated. Tbe Speaker is said to have been assured of an income of at least $50,000 a year, an emolument equal to that of the President of the United States, from insurance companies alone. He will continue to act as referee for tbe several insurance corporations for'which he has been recently acting, and friends say that bis income may yet amount to $100,000 annually. Mr. Reed's motives for getting out of Congress and entering the bar in this city are variously regarded by lawyers and politicians. The consensus of opinion, however, is that he is merely taking the step for financial reasons. He is a comparatlvely.poor man and now that not many years of activity remain, it is time they say, that he consider such matters. With his great personal reputation and influence he will become at once a power Id tbe New York bar. It Is not thought that he will take any part at all In local politics. His step was taken only after long deliberation. He has been consider* ing the step for two years at least. Mr. Reed Is a native of the State he has represented in Congress, having been born in Portland, Me., on October 18,1833, so that he is in his sixtieth year. He was graduated at Bowdoia College in 1360, and studied law, but was appolntei Acting Assistant Paymaster in the Navy in April, 1861, and Berved until bis honorable discharge in November. 1865, when he was admitted to the bar and began to practice law in Portland. He became member of the lower branch of the Maine Legislature, then a member of the State Senate, and later AttoraeyGaDeral for the State. In 1878 ho was olected to Congress, and has represented the State of Maine continuously In the House since then. On December 2, 1389, and on December 2, 1895, he was elected to the Speakership, and his discharge of the duties of that office have made him a figure of National prominence.

New Yobk City (Special).?The United States cruiser Chicago, flagship ot RearA.dmlral Howl9on, commanding the reBstabllshod South Atlantic Station, has started from the Brooklyn Navy Yard on a cruise extending more than 20,000 miles.
