Eleven American Wounded in the Battle. PERSHING'S FORCES TAKE BAC0L09. The Horos Were Strongly Fortified and Defended the Place Desperately. Manila, Ey Cable.?The investment of Bacolod which was captured by Captain Pershing's forces, after a fight in which a hundred Moros ware killed, occupied three days. The final assault was made at noon Wednesday. Desperate lighting took place inside the forts. Seven cannon were captured and eleven Americans were wounded, a few of them seriously. It is probable that all the Americans will recover. The column approached Eacolo.l early on Monday and found new forts, which had been a year under construction, flying battle flags. The Moros did not wait to be attacked, but fired a volley, which wounded two Americans. Captain Pershing then decided to bombard the fortification, and Gatley's batteries took up positions and shelled the forts and works until Wednesday mo.ning, the infantry and cavalry supporting the attack. Many of the Mores left the forts on Monday and Tuesday nights, and escaped in boats on the lake. The assault on Wednesday was carefully prepared. The column carried forward a bamboo bridge, on which the troops crossed the moat under fire and afterwards scaled the walls. The fighting inside the forts was most desperate. Sixty dead Moros were found inside the walls and 40 were killed in the trenches. The whereabouts of the Sultan of Bacoloa is not known. He is believed to have escapcul Monday night. Murder at Buffalo. BulTola. Special.?A shooting affair in which a 9-year-old hoy was killed and a woman mortally wounded, an attempted murder, two suicides and two attempts at suicide that may result fatally. occurred in this city.

His wife died about a year ago, leaving two children. Since the death of his wife, business difficulties drove him to drink. For the last four months he has lived in rooms at 190 Coit street. The owner of the house, Mrs. Tekla Winskl, her husband and the children, occupied the rear part of the building. The children of the two families were constantly quarreling. Sunday night Kwaitkowski returned home and found the children in the usual turmoil. Mr. Wolinski informed him that he would have to move, whereupon Kwaitkowski drew a revolver and began firing, backing out cf the house as he did so. Mrs. Wolinski followed the infuriated Pole and grappled with him. He pointed the revolver at her breast and fired. She fell to the ground, mortally wounded. Kwaitkowski fired several more shots, one of them striking his own 9-yearold son, Peter, killing him instantly. A large crowd quickly gathered and Kwaitkowski retreated Into the house, locking and barricading the door behind him. Then began a lively exchange of shots through the windows between the policemen who had gathered, and Kwaitkowski which continued until the latter exhausted his ammunition when the officers battered down the dcor and captured him. George Denning, 55 years old, had been separated from his wife for some time. He called upon her and tried to induce her to resume martial relations. She refused. He drew a revolver and fired.

Tha D.?m.".ge to the Vessel of Such a Character as to Necessitate Putting Her Out of Commission. Washington, Special.?The cipher dispatch received by the Navy Department. regarding the explosion on the Iowa, of? Penaavola was cn Friday do clphcred. It was from Admiral Higginsen and said: "Iowa's breach-loading 12-inch gun burst in front o? trunnions, tnree killed, Jour wounded." Then followed the names given in previous dispatch. The Department expects fuller particulars. Another dispatch was received as follows: "Purcell. landsman. Koilc, seaman, F. T. Kerry, ordinary seaman, killed in Iowa, will be buried at navy yard at Pcnsacola." Because of {he meagre details of the explosion which Admiral Higginscn's dispatch contained, officials at the Navy Department c?.n only speculate as fo its cause. An Investigation board has already been appointed. Rear Admiral O'Neill, chief of the bureau of ordnance, has already issued orders for the transportation to New York of a now 12-inch gun which Is now at the Washington navy yard, and it will be placed on the Iowa when that vessel comes to New York for repairs. Admiral O'Neill said: "The gun which buret was designed I? 1 CQO nn/1 ?v> OTMi'onfn ?>o/1 of f?%o ill io<7i) anil inauu:av.uuru cat iuv litnai gun factory. January 1. 1905. The gun had been fired 125 times. Yesterday's accident is the first that has ever happened to any of the large calibre guns of the navy, except in the case of the j 12-inch gun on the ICearsage. -the i-ore of which was injured by a premature explosion of a shell two years ago. A lining tube was inserted in that gun and it is in use at the proving grounds No reason can yet be assigned for the accident. As yet I do not know what kind of powder was used, or details as to the location of the shell. While the accident may have been due to the premature explosion of the shell in the bore, such a contingency is unlikely, as shells have on several occasions broken up in bores of guns without any other injury than the defacing of the bore. So far as the bureau is advised, all the Iowa's 12-inch shells are . fitted with base covers,'with a view to preventing a possible prematures explosion due to the action of the powder gasses." The bureau of navigation has sent telegrams of sympathy to the families of the men killed and wounded in the explosion. Acting Secretary Darling sent the following dispatch of sympathy to Rear Admiral Higginson, commander of the North Atlantic fleet, at Pensacola: "Please convey to the officers and men of the fleet sincere sympathy of the Denartment in the less of their comrades by the unfortunate accident on board the Iowa. (Signed) "DARLING." Although it had been intended that the Iowa should be repaired at the New York yard, the damage done by the explosion will probably make it necessary to put the vessel out of commission. The damage to the battleship Iowa caused by the premature explosion of a shell in the forward port 12-inch gun has developed to be more serious than was thought when the first examination was made and as a consequence the big ship has been ordered to the New York navy yard to go out of commission. She steamed down to the Pensacola navy yard, where she is fitting out with supplies and coal preparatory to sailing soon as possible for the North. It is known that threq. decks including the upper deck in the forward part of the ship, will have to be entirely removed and rebuilt. It is feared that the steel supports under the 12-inch port turret are sprung to such an extent that they will have to be removea, tnougn inia cannot yet oe stated positively. The gun itself is a hopeless wreck. Although the gun which burst went into numer'iess pieces the end of the gun is as smooth as if it had just been turned out of a ship, and except that it is about 12 feet shorter than the starboard gun, it is hardly noticeable that an explosion occurred. According to the record of the exploded gun. it was good for at least another year of service, and reports that the gun had been condemned are without foundation. Blind Chaplain Dead, Washington. Special?The Rev. Wm. Henry Milburn, the venerable blind chaplain of the United States Senate, died in Santa Barbara, Cal., Friday. Word to this effect was received here tonight by Col. Randall, the sergeantat-arir.s of the Senate. The deceased was a native of Philadelphia, where he was born in 1822. When he was five years of age, a playfellow accidental}' struck him in the left eye with a piece of glass. For two years he was confined to a dark room under meuieal treatment and subsequently became totally blind. Government Forces Whipped. Willemstadt, By Cable.?News has been received here that the Venezuelan revolutionists have defeated the forces of the government near Caracas and captured two cannon and a large quantity of ammunition.

' fi m , FOUND TRUE Bill. ) The Slayer of Editor Gonzales Appeared in CourtTHE TRIAL WAS POSTPONED! . Because of Absence of Two V/itne<ses the Hearing of the Case Went Over Until June Term of Court. Columbia, S. C? Special.?Jarnes H~ Tillman, who is charged with the killing of N. G. Gonzales, the editor of The Columbia State in January, .was taken to the Criminal Court hereWednesday for the purpose of having, him plead to the indictment /eturned. . against hi:n last Monday for taurder and carrying concealed weapons, orunlav:ful arms, as they are termed in. this State. The arraignment was not. had, however, and the proceedings, which it wa3 thought would be of a purely formal character turned -out to be highly sensational. The trial cf thedefendant had been set for next Mon-? day, and both sides had caused the- " report to be circulated that they wereready for trial. Much to the surpriseof the spectators and lawyers here? the defense availed themselves of the? opportunity presented to secure a continuance en the ground that it had. been impossible to secure the attendance of two matei-ial witnesses. Captain J. A. White and Miss Julia Roper.. Tillman, the defendant, was brought, into court shortly before the proceedings were commenced. He was accompanied by his uncle, Senator Ben Tillman, who appeared to be very much, more deeply concerned about the proceedings than the prisoner himself.. . Distinguished counsel appeared oa> both sides. The people were represented by Col. Andrew Crawford and Solicitor {Commonwealth's Attorney) J. W. William Thurmond and the defense by Congressman George W.. Croft, who was at one time the defen ant's lav/ partner, and Patrick K. Nelson. The prosecuting officer opened theproceedings with a request for an arraignment. Counsel for the defease interrupted to enter a motion for a continuance on the ground of the ahsenceof the two witnesses already mentioned. They presented affidavits from the witnesses which in a measure indicated what they would testify to. The prosecution promptly announced that it was entirely willing to accept theseaffidavits and strenuously objected toany further delay in the case. The point was made that the defense had had ample time to prepare for thetrial and the affidavits were all that was necessary in the defendant's behalf so far a3 the witnesses in question were concerned. The prosecution urged that a ruie- . had been made recently to prevent continuances under such circumstances as those shown in this case but. the court ruled against them and granted a continuance until the Juneterm on an affidavit of defendant^. ^ counsel stating that it had been iin possible to get witnesses in time for this term. The solicitor then urged that the defendant be arraigned at this time, but Judge Klugh declined to accede to this request and the prisonerwas remanded and the case continued until the June term of court May Cotton Up. New York, Special.?The rise in cotton which began almost four months ago was continuel when May touched 10.40 and July 9.99. new high records lor the present movement. The market opened active and strong all. around, but the shorts were almost thebuyers of May, the bull element holding off and taking only so much as was necessary to strengthen their position. Advances tended from 1 to 7 point3, but the bulk of the trading was in May and July. Offerings of July cotton at 9.98were liberal and sales at that figure were moderately large. By 11 o'clock May sold off to 10.33 and July* to 9.93. May closed 10.29 bid; 10.30 asked; July 9.90 bid. 9.91 asked. Telegraphic Briefs.
