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

WHELMED BY DEADLY DAMP.
Eight Prominent Inspectors Go Down
Into the Treacherous Baby Mine
and Fail to Return.
A special from Bluefields, W. Va.,
says: At 11 o'clock Friday morning
Superintendent Walter O'Malley, of
the Pocahontas Collieries Company,
along with State Mine Inspector William
Priest, A. S. 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. Bell, mining engineer,
and Joseph Cardwell, manager
of the Shamokin Coal and Coke Company,

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*

AL.L BODIES RECOVERED,
Total Fatalities In Colorado Mine Accident
Reduced to Twenty-Five.
A special from Telluride, Colo., says:
The work of recovering the bodies of
the victims of the disaster in the
Smuggler-Union mine progressed slowly
until Friday, when the last body was
brought to the surface. It was that of
John Nevala. The death list now
numbers twenty-five, the brave engineer
who sacrificed himself in an effort
tp rescue his comrades having
died Friday afternoon. 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.
It is said that the company will
close its mine tor about thirty days,
during which time the workings which
were damaged to the extent of more
than $50,000 will be repaired and will
then reopen with a force of between
700 and 1,000 men.
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. The sight 1
of the garment apparently affected the 1
prisoner more than any preceding inci- :
dent in the course of the trial.

A Washington special says: It is

While Commander McCrea was given
wide discretionary power and nothing
was said to him about stopping the

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

Uncle Sam Takes Charge.
The United States government has
taken charge of isthmian transit. 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

Advices from Colon, Colombia,

that it cannot guarantee protection !

The sailing boats having ninety-seven j
soldiers on board, which left Panama ]
with General Alban, returned to that ,
place at 3 p. m. Friday, and General ]
Alban and fifty soldiers arr'ved there ,
on board the eunboat Bovaca at 7 D. l

Lorenzo attacked General Alban's
forces after it had landed at Chaco,
near Chorrera, and defeated it, onlyGeneral
Alban and a few of his troops
escaping.
It is also claimed by the liberals that
another division of General Alban's army
was routed by General Luego when
400 of Alban's troops joined the liberals'

jubilant anc'l assert that they expect
General Luego to arrive at Colon momentarily.
Further details of the later decisive

prefect by the liberals Thursday,
has declined the office, and Dr.
Campillo has been appointed prefect (

Senor Salaz has accepted the ap- r

The latest news in Colon is to the <
effect that the liberal general, Luego, <
has arrived at Empire Station, distant (
twelve miles from Panama, with a j
force said to number 1,000 men. The t
liberals are gaining and arming many ?
recruits along the entire length of the ?
railroad and now control the line up to
within a point two miles from Panama. t
An attack on that city is expected mo- z
mentarily and much uneasiness is felt
there. The liberal leader, Domingo
Diaz, is expected snortiy to arrive at
Colon.
It is rumored that Buena Ventura, ^
a Colombian port on the Pacific coast,
about 400 miles south of Panama, has
been taken by the liberals.
Marines from the gunboat Machias <

A company is being formed now to
jive a number of prize fights, which
vill be pulled off under the name of
sparring contests, and some of the best
mown light weights will be brought
o Charleston.
It is expected that many cocking
nains will be held at Ten Mile Hill,
ust outside of Charleston, and it is
probable that an interstate main will
)e fought with South Carolina and
Georgia birds.

Good Light and Water System.
The exposition city is being equipped
with a thorough water and light
system. The Consolidated Railway
Company, largely owned by Baltimore
capitalists, has the contract for furlishing
light ano electric power, and
here will be more lights around the
grounds and buildings than are to be
'ound in all the streets of Charleston.
The Consolidated company has every
street of importance in Charleston doted
with street car tracks, and all of
hese lines will lead direct to the exposition.
There wiil be a two-minute
schedule in operation, and ample facilities
will be provided for handling
;he crowds quickly. Handsome terminal
stations have been erected at the
grounds.
Two new hotels will be opened in
December, and with the former accom
nodations and the hundreds of boardng
houses, lodging quarters and cafes,
;here will be an abundance of room
tor all visitors who will visit Charles:on'
during the winter. Hospitable
aames will be thrown open, and deIghtful
places will be tendered the
risitors.

Unique Test Case.
A ripple of excitement was created
;hroughout the state a day or two ago
vhen it was learned that Dr. James C.
Moore, a prominent young physician,
lad been arrested in Marlboro county,
charged with practicing medicine and
surgery without a license.
Dr. J. L. 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.

RETURN THAT CHURCH MONEY.
Red-Hot Resolution to That Effect
Adopted By the Methodists.
In the North Georgia conference at
Rome Judge H. E. W. Palmer's resolution
concerning the Methodist wai
claim, and its being refunded to the
government, was taken up for discussion,
and one of the liveliest debates
of the conference was precipitated, in '
which a number of stirring speeches
were made. The resolution was finally
adopted by a rousing vote. After reciting
the action of the bishops and
detailing the case in a long preamble,
the resolution is as follows:
1. 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 in our opinion the senate of (
the United States has by affirmative 1
action declared tnat tne passage ot
the said bill without amendment was
due to misleading statements on the
part of the representatives of our <
church.
3. That Inasmuch as only the general
conference of our church has author- 1
ity to take final and binding action in j
the premises, we hereby memorialize ]
the body, which is to meet in Dallas, ,
Texas, in May, 1902, to promptly re- j
turn to the government of the United ]
States, for the reasons stated in the 1
said letter of our bishops and said res- ]
olution of the United States, the entire ]
amount of money paid by it on ac- j
count of said war claim. <
4. 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.
