Americans Lose Over a Thousand In Kill* cd, Wounded and Captured?Filipinos Lose Nearly 7,000. Major General Arthur MacArthur, commanding the United States forces n the Philippines and military goverlor of the islands, has submitted his report to the war department. Every question in the Philippines is * ' > ' > f K. created, ana tiie lumreuco manu u? many of those at headquarters is that if the United States are to conquer the Philippines it must be by sheer force >f arms. While, according to the report, Agninaldo and his band voted to discontinue war November 12th, 1899, as a matter of fact it continued. By their ability to doff the habiliments of war ind assume the garb of peace, Filipinos have successfully kept in the field, nut at a tremendous loss. Fifty-three stations occupied by Americans on November 1st, 1899, had on September 1st, 1900, expanded to 413. While :he Americans had lost 1,073 in killed, grounded and captured, the Filipinos nad lost 6.785. The report says: "The Filipinos are not a warlike or ferocious people. Left to themselves, i large number would gladly accept ;he American supremacy, which they ire gradually coming to understand means individual liberty and absolute ?ecurity in their lives and property." General McArthur says the exteniive distribution of troops has strained :he soldiers of the army to the full imit of endurance. He says the apparent desultory work has demanded more of discipline and as much of val ?/lfixm/r 4V*A rvnviorl jr tt?

The Filipinos, the report says, left a> themselves would gladly accept the American supremacy. The Americans ire making as many friendly overtures is is compatible with the conditions. MCABTHUB 70 TAKE THE FIELD. A Washington special says: In pursuance of the plan to make an aggressive campaign in the Philippines luring the winter, it has been arranged that Major General McArthur iball personally direct the military >perations against the insurgents. (Vhile he is in the field Major Generil Bates will be assigned to duty in Manila, as exectuive head of the military government of the island. General MacArthurdoes not propose to lay himself open to the criticism vhich was made against his predeces)or, General Otis, who occupied himtelf with office details while his suboriinates led the fighting. General ttacArthur's determination to lead the roops himself is warmly approved by he president and the secretary of war.

IN THE WAVES Steamer Is Overwhelmed in Big Storm Off Halifax Coast. TWENTY-FIVE BODIES FOUND Death List Known to Be ThirtyTwo-Five Persons Were Cast Upon the Beach Unhurt. A special from Halifax, N. S., says: The worst marine disaster in the long list of steamers wrecked among the rocks and shoals at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy occurred Saturday morning when the side-wheel steamer City of Monticello, bound f rom St. Johns for for Yarmouth, was quickly overwhelmed by the mountainous seas only four miles from her destination, and engulfed with thirty-four of her passengers and a crew. A heavy gale was raging ot the time and there was a tremendous sea. The place where the Monticello struck is at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, where tko waters of the bay join those of the Atlantic. There are many reefs and shoals at this point, and the currents are many and changeable, it being one cf the most daugeron6 places on the coast. Just before the vessel foundered an attempt was made to reach the land in a small boat in charge of the quartermaster, and it contained Third Officer Fleming, a stewardess named Smith and three passengers. This bbat was smashed by a huge comber, and the occupauts being hurled high upon the beach at Pembroke uninjured. It is be ieved these are the only survivors. The City of Monticello was used in the coastwise service between Halifax, ' Yarmouth and St. Johns, and was due at Halifax Sunday morning. She was au iron, side-wheel boat of about 1,000 tons gross, and was commanded by Captain Harding, of Yarmouth, where most of the thirty-seven men belong. | She was formerly called the City of Norfolk, and was built at Wilmington, Del., in 18G6. When she received British register her name was changed. She was valued at $35,000, and was partially insured. The vessel had been rebuilt within fifteen years, but was not regarded safe in an exceptionally heavy sea. She carried a crew out of proportion to her sixe. TWEXTX-riVE BODIES BECOVKBED. A special of Sunday from Yarmouth, N. 8., says: "The shore of this coun- ' ty for ten miles east and west ia strewn with the wreckage of the hull and cargo of the steamer City of Mohticello, which foundered Saturday morning, and twenty-five bodies of victims of the disaster have been recovered from the sea, whioh is still raging with terriffic fury. The death roll so far as known is thirty-two. "Many people have assembled at Kockville, near where the first body came ashore, and numerous relatives of members of the crew, who nearly all belonged to points ou this coast, have arrived to identify the dead. The bodies were arranged in a room in the public hall and Coroner Fuller, who held an inquest, gave an opinion of accidental drowning. All the bodies are terribly battered. "The first body was found at daylight, when the zinc lifeboat, which was supposed by the survivors of the first boat to have been swamped, was discovered on the shore. A few yards distant were the bodies of Mr. Eldridge, a passenger; Second Engineer Poole, Mr. Fripp, a traveler for McGee's Sons, of St. John, and the body of a seaman. All four had life belts I aronnd them. "At short intervals along the beach eleven more bodies were found, making fifteen fonnd up to noon today. They had all evidently some ashore m the life-boat and were killed on striking the beach, not one escaping. "It is a coincidence that the ship Peter Stewart was wrecked off this shore a few years ago in the month of July and a boat load of men came in where the Monticello's boat was found. Half of the men were dead before the I boat touched the laud." j HEAVY COTTON EXPORTS. I ' Daring October the Insurance Was 182,- j 043,000 Ovor Lust Year.

A Lincoln, Neb., Special says: William J. Bryan has given out the following statement concerning the election: "The result was a surprise to me j and the magnitude of the Republican victory was a surprise to our oppo! nents as well as to those who voted | our ticket It is impossible to ana| lyze the returns until they are more complete, but speaking generally we seem to have gained in the large cities and to have lost in the smaller cities and in the country. "The Republicans were able to se* | cure tickets or passes for all their j vetcrs who were away from home aDd this gave them considerable advantage. We havo no way of knowing at at this time how much money was spent in the purchaso of votes in colonization. "But while these would account for some of the Republican gains, thcv could not account for the widespread increase in the Republican vote. The prosperity argument was probably the most potent one used by the Republicans. "They compared present conditions with the panic times of 1893 $o 1896, and this argument had weighed with * -A? a :J _ 111086 WD0 did not stop 10 cuiimuer iuo reasons for the change. The appeal, 'stand by the president while the war is on/ had a great deal of influence among those who did not realize that a war against a doctrine of self-government in the Philippines must react upon us in this country. We made an honest fight upon an honest platform, and, having done our duty as we saw it, we have nothing to regret. "We were defeated but not discouraged. The fight must go on. I am sure that Eepnblican policies will be repudiated by the people when the tendency of these policies are fully understood. The contest between plutocracy and democracy cannot end until one or the other is completely triumphant." Concerning himself, Mr. Bryan said: "I have come out of the campaign with perfect health and a clear conscience. I did my utmost to bring success to the principles for whioh I stood. Mr. Stevenson did all thai he could; Senator Jones and the members of the Democratic, Populist, Silver Eepnblican and anti-imperialist committees did all they could. Mr. Hearst and his associates in the club organization put forth their best efforts. "Our newspapers, our campaign speeches and our local organizations 11 IV.: i.

"I shall not be a senatorial candidate before the legislature which has been elected. Senator Allen deserves the senatorship, which goes to the Populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W. H. Thompson are avowed candidates for the Democratic senatorship. They both deserve well of the party, and I am too grateful to them for past support to stand in their way, even if I desired a seat in the senate. I made my light for the presidency and I lost.

He denied I the report that he would remove from } Nebraska and make Texas his home. SMITH LEAVES A, & W. P. BOAD, Succeeded as President end General Manager Br Charles Wiekershain. George C.

Warrants were ont for him for selling whiskey and he skipped to Dark Corner. Ned Parks, a quiet negro, lives on the place of Robert Pittman. Curetou made himself at home at the cabin of Parks, so much so that he appropriated Park's Sunday trousers aud wore them away. Parks met Curetou and charged him with stealing his trousers. Coreton, following the custom, drew his pistol and shot Parks, the bullet entering his heart, killing him instantly.
