[1 BRYAN'S TRAVELING RECORD IS ABOUT FINISHED. D f C Addressed 30,000 People In Washing- ^ ton One Day?Has Traveled 8,000 Miles-He Has Watched Democratic Gains in Western States and Still Talks Free Silver. New York Journal. William J. Bryan has returned , to his home in Lincoln, Neb , from an , a absence that has been almost continw uous since he took the stump in the campaign of last fall. Bis wife and ^ J 1-* .# * AWAnf t Kft n7 1 nfor LWU CZJI1UI CU, nuu CUOUV I uo niuwvi C' in Austin, Texas, preceded bira. Mr. Bryan said that bis health k had never been better. Oj his arri- ? val he gave bis attention to the renovation of his home, preparatory to a rest of two months, beginning May ^ 8, which will be unbroken by any political engagements. His five weeks' tour, which extended to the Pacific 81 cost and ended April 25 in Kansas, represents the.greatest distance ever ^ covered by Mr. Bryan in any of his ^ speech making trips. In all he trav- ^ eled 8,000 miles. HIS 8,000 MILE TRAVEL Mr Bryan 1< ft Lincoln on March 20, going first to South Dekota, where e^ be delivered three speeches. He then of went to Utah, where he spoke at Ogden and Salt Lake, after which he at continued bis western course, goirg fe throug to Sacramento, where bespoke At that time he made but one stop as in California, going northward imme iJiateiy to Oregon and Washington, m in which States he spoke in all the w principal cities. Then south again to California, speaking successfully ly in Fresno, Los Angeles, San Diego, la San Barnardino, Santa Anna and ^ Pomona. lii After leaving California the second time, Mr. Bryan turned eastward to Arizona aLd New Mexico, speaking at Phoenix, Prescott and Albuqurque. He spoke twice at Austin, Texas, and comiDg north at Wichita, Kansas, his Bpeeeh at Clay Center, Kan ,on April 25th, ended the tour. The most trying day of his tour was on April 2, in Washington, where he first spoke at New Whatcom at 9 b. m. Several stops were made en route to Seattle. Crowds had gathered at the depots and he addressed the people at each stop. Ia Seattle he spoke both afternoon and evening, and later he responded to atoatat a banquet. I* was 2am, when he retired. Duiiog the day he had spoken to over 39/ 00 people. Mr. Bryan returns thoroughly eDthused concerning the political outlook in the Western States. He said: DEMOCRATS GAIN'S IN THE WEST. "The growing opposition in the West to the Republican party is too apparent to be questioned. Instead of losing votes on the expension question, the Democrats will make large gains. My trip has convinced me that we will carry Washington without doubt, while the chances of vie tory in Oregon are growing every day. "The wage earners of the Northwest find their expenses increasing, while the farmers who are getting no more for their crops, find themselves the victims of numberless trusts when they ccme to spfDd the proceeds of their crop0. One of my e largest mee:ings was held in an old n ril mill. It had been bought by the trust and then closed down." HOLDS FIRM TO SILVER DutiDg his tour, Mr. Bryan says fc he found no inclination on the part t cf any of his supporters to abandon r the silver question. It is his opinion ' * ' - ? I ? A _ XL. mat mere are more opponents 10 me ?. gold standard and money trust today i on the coast than when he visited there. The issue has in no way been j blotted out Dor even dimmed by later c ones, and Mr. Bryan says he never makes a speech without touching on ? the three questions, money, trusts \ and imperialism. 1 FARMING HIS RECREATION. In regard to the long rest he in- * teLds taking, he said tbat although j ' he was in the best of health, he had j enjoyed but little surcease from &c- j ] tivity for some month?, and consid- j f ered it time to d> so. His chief j < diversion will consist io assisting in | : j the care of a 30 acre tract of ground j in the outskirts of town. Pait of ! the ground is already planted in i wheat oats a?fd garden truc k. He \ ! also has some chickens, and all of ... .. _ \ bese will receive his personal attenion. Mr. Bjjan declines to discuss the latter of bis attending the Kansas Jity convention or taking the stump, ut from all indications he will be eard from during the present camaign. ?

I TWO-THIRDS OF THE GARR1SI0N OF A LITTLE TOWN SLAIN. ; Thirty Beseiged by Hundreds For Several Days Heroically Resisted Fire and Bullets?Finally Rescued by i a Handful of Men. Manila, May 2 ?The American ; garrison at C itubig, island of Sama?, I consisting of thirty men belonging ] to the Forty-third regiment, has been | atta.ked by the rebelf. Twenty of I the Ameiieana were killed. The re ! maioder were rescued. The Americans were quartered in 1 the Catubig church, which the enej my, numbering several huudred men, j surrounded and fiercely attacked, j The Ameiicans fought for two days i and the rebels managed to ignite the j roof of the church and it burned j away and finally fell upon those in: side the edifice. The walls remained i intact, however, and were used as a I shelter by the beseiged Americans i for three days loDger, tho enemy at| tacking the building on all sides at I oDce. | The Americans continued firing i from the windows and doors of the j church and did great execution I among the Filipinos. It is estimated I that over two hundred ?>f the latter j were killed, many dead bodies being J removed from the scene of the fight: iog. j After five days,' resistance by the Americans a lieutenant and eight meD arrived from Laoan andeDgsged i the bsseigers, who thereupon retired. The fortunate arrival of these rei inforcemeDt prevented the annihilaj of the American force entrenched in ! the church who bad repeatedly dej clined to surrender when ordered to i do so by the Filipinos. The ten sur, vivors were without food, had little ammunition and wore physically c-xj bausted when relieved. This fight has encouraged the Filipiuos, who are now actiDg in an agi gressive manner and threatening that ; section if the coast, particularly the town of Citamare, whence the garrison will probably be withdrawn to i Laoan.

The department is not informed as ! to this particular garrison, having i only a rough statement from thy j Commanding General of the dispo| sition of each regiment among certain islands, without particulars of the i location of each company.

AMERICANS AGAIN SUSTAIN HEAVY LOSS Manila. May 3 ?A dispatch re ceived here today from Iliolo reports that a desperate fight took place at Leambanao in the center of the island of Panay. In appears that a reconnoitering party of the Twentysixth infantry was surrounded and that four of the Americans were killed and that pixteen others severely wounded were left on the field. The remainder of the soldiers had a narrow escape. The dispatch adds that reinforcements were sent from Iloilo as soon as news of the affair was received, whereupon the Filipinos retreated to their mountain stronghold.
