MANJELA, Nov. 15.—The Thirty-third
lhfhntry, in one of the sharpest two
hours? engagements of the war, with an
equal force of insurgents, five miles from
'San Fabian, Saturday, lost one officer,
Major John A. Logan, and six men killed
and had one ofiicer and 12 men wounded.
The Americans captured 29 Filipinos and
-100 rifles and found 81 insurgent dead
firing, in the trenches and ricefields. Many
more Filipinos doubtless were/killed or
wounded. , - ,
General Wheaton was informed that
the enemy was gathering at San Jacinto
for the purpose of preventing the Ameri-
cans from controlling the road from Dag-
upan. north, whereby Aguinaldo might re-
treat. The Thirty-third, Colonel Howe
commanding, and a detachment of the
Tlflrteenth, with a Gatling gun, How-
lt...l commanding, were sent to disperse
ti 'm. The troops encountered the worst
1. .id yet found in the island of Luzon.
'7. 'aere was a succession of creeks whose
lwidges the Americans had to stop and
lilpall‘ and miry ditches, and at certain
places men and horses struggled waist
deep in quagmires. A hundred soldiers
had to drag the Gatling gun part of the
Way, the horses being useless. The in-
surgents opened the fight two miles from
San J acinto, while the leading American-
battalion was passing a clump of houses
in the midst of a cocoanut grove knee
deep in mud. The Filipino sharpshooters,
hidden in trees, houses and a smalltrench
across the road, held their fire until the
Americans were close to them. When
they began firing, other Filipinos opened
fire from thickets, right and left, farther
away. The insurgent sharpshooters pick-
ed off the officers first. Five of the
Americans who fell wore shoulder straps
or chevrons. But the, Thirty—third never
wavered. Its crack marksmen knocked
the Filipinos from the trees like squir-
rels, and the Americans rushed the
trench, finding four dead insurgents
there. The regiment then deployed un-
der fire, with Major John A. Logan's
battalion in the center, Major Cronic’s
on: the right and Major Marsh’s on the
‘lcft; The skirmish line, which was a
mile-long. advanced rapidly, keeping up
' a constantfige.
The- Filipinos made an unexpectedly
good stand, many of them remaining be—
hind cover until the Americans were
within fi)‘ feet of them. Major Marsh
flanked a small; trench full of insurgents,
surprising them and. slaughtering nearly
all of them before entering the town.
Elie Gatling killed five of the force hold-
ingthe bridge and swept the country be-
yond the tovvn, driving about 150 Fili-
pinos into the hills. Marsh’s” battalion,
entering the town first, captured a big
battleflag which was flying over a con‘
vent.
’A proclamation of the Filipino secre-
tary of war was found in all the villages,
giving glowing accounts of alleged Fili-
pino. victories and saying that 7,500
Americans had been killed and 15,000
wounded? during the war.
l (Elie- dead' and wounded were brought
to Manila yesterday. The officers who
are returning say it is impossible for
General Wheaten to attempt a junction
' With General Young on account ofzthe
roads. Prisoners say it is reported that
Agninaldo, with an army they estimate
at 20,000 men. probably a great .exag-
gerafion, is retiring toward Dagupan, in~
tending to leave by railroad for the
"northwest- Some of them said they be-
lieved! the Filipino army had passed the
fine intended by Generals YVheaton and
Young to be covered on Aguinaldo’s rear
and that he passed San Fabian, going
northwest, a fortnight ago.

but were stove in under the engine om-
partment, the largest of the ship.
After the first elforts to right her the
officers. feaged she might slide off be-
cause of the heavy sea and therefore
abandoned the attempt to save her. They
hurried to the launch and boats and
fouled away, prepared to fight for a
landing, with. two Colts, 134 rifles and
ten. dams? notions. Some of the officers
my} flfier'é dress—ed only in pyjamas
and their under-clothing.
The breech blocks of the cannon were
removed before the boats put off. Two
hours after the Charleston struck all
had got away. The report that the crew
remained two days on the vessel is in-
accwrate. A party returned two days
later, but found it impossible to save
anything.
The first landing was made on a little
. island, with a front of barren rocks.
Next day the boats again took to the
water and pure (d to Kamiguin island,
where a landing vas made in the ex-
pectation that fighting would be neces-
sary. So far from this being the case,
however. the (‘ltau'lcstnn's men found a
half savage people. who regarded them
with curiosity rather than hostility.
On the third day the storm had greatly
subsided. and Lieutenant John 1). Mc-
Donald, witli Boutswain Dominick Glynn ,
and six men. started for the gulf of Lin-
gayen in a 30 foot sailing launch. hoping
to find an American warship. but en-
tirely ignorant of General \Vheuton’s
expedition.
Lieutenant McDonald was four days
afloat. keeping under shelter of the hos—

MOLINEUX ON TRIAL.
A Famous Case Which Has Been
Delayed Many Months.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—-Roland B.
Molineux was put on trial for ’his life
yesterday in the court of general sessions
before Recorder Goff, charged with the
death of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams on
Dec. 28, 1898.
No case more famous or promising
more startling disclosures has ever been
tried in New York city. Mrs. Adams
died after swallowing what was believed
to be a headache powder that had been
sent through the mail in a silver match-
holder as a Christmas present to Harry
Cornish, physical director of the Knick-
erbocker Athletic club, and by him ad-
ministered to Mrs. Adams, with whom
he resided. A chemical analysis devel-
oped the fact that the powder contained
a deadly combination of cyanide of mer-
cury. -
The investigation which followed re-
sulted in developing that Henry C. Bar-
net, another prominent member of the
Knickerbocker Athletic club, who had
recently died, had received a similar
powder and that it contained cyanide of
mercury also.
Roland B. Molineux was among the
witnesses put on the stand at the cow»
ner’s inquest, at which the testimony
went to show that Molineux bore enmity
toward both Cornish and Barnet. He
was arrested after considerable delay
and has been in the Tombs ever since.
Three grand juries considered his case,
and the third brought in the present in~
dictment against him. Both sides have
fought bitterly ever since Molineux's
arrest, and yesterday after several hours
were occupied in an attempt to select a‘
jury not one man had been found suita-
ble to occupy a chair in the jury box.
When the case was called, Bartow S.
Weeks, counsel for Molineux, made a
final and desperate effort to have it
transferred to the supreme court, but the
recorder ordered the trial to proceed.
Mr. Weeks also made- a lengthy argu-
ment on a motion to dismiss the indict-
ment, but Recorder Gofiz' several times
told him his talk‘ was trivial and that he
was wasting words.-
Molineux’s father, General Molineux.
sat beside him throughout the day. Har—
ry Cornish was present, and the court-
room was crowded with prominent peo—
p e.
The prisoner displayed the same air of
confidence that has marked“ every public
appearance of his since his arrest, and
after adjournment he was permitted to
remain in the courtroom for some time,
where hie talked pleasantly wit-ht hitscoun—
sel and court attendants.

BULLER'S WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
A Relief Force Announced For Lady-

Shrouded In Mystery—Jame-
' Ion Sails For England.
LONDON, Nov. 15.——There is no addi-
tional news - regarding the progress of
hostilities in South Africa this morning
except a dispatch from Mafeking, for-
warded by a runner, dated Oct. 31, which
. says that during the afternoon General
Cronje, the Boer commander, sent an en-
voy' to Colonel Baden-Powell under a
flag of truce to declare that he did not
consider the Geneva convention author-
ized the flag of the Red Cross society to
fly from several buildings at once in the
town and that in his opinion the employ-
ment of natives against whites and the
use of dynamite mines were both opposed
to the rules of war.
Colonel Baden-Powell replied that the
Geneva convention did not stipulate as to
the number of Red Cross stations permis-
sible and that the Boers were only re-
quired to respect the convent, the hos-
pital and the women’s laager, all of
which were beyond the town limits. The
British commander also pointed out that
mines were recognized adjuncts of civ-
ilized warfare and that the defenses of
Pretoria were extensively mined. More-
over, he reminded General Cronje that
the Boers had fired upon natives, burned
their kraals and raided their cattle, and
that the natives only defended their lives
and property.
Despite three warnings from Colonel
Baden-Powell the Boers continued delib-
erately to shell the hospital and the wo-
men’s longer. The sending of the Boer
envoy was regarded, the dispatch says.
as a mere pretext for penetrating the
British lines at Mafeking. According to
the latest reports the town is confident of
its ability to hold out until the end of the
campaign.
So far as Kimberley is concerned, the
mental condition of the British there
may bejudged from the fact that three.
weddings have taken place since the siege
began, the last having been celebrated on
Nov. 8.
Nothing is known as to the where-
abouts of General Sir Redvers Buller.
The Powerful has arrived at Simon’s
bay from Durban and begun to coal. The
cruiser will return to Durban immediate- ~
ly with more guns. Lord George Hamil-
ton, secretary of state for India, an-
nounced in a speech last evening that a
relief force would immediately be sent to
Ladysmith, but beyond that nothing is
known of the British plan of campaign,
and equal secrecy shrouds the movements
of the Boers.
The Morning Post, which complains
that it was unwise tactics on the part of
the British oflicers to leave the railway
intact in their retirement to Lady-smith,
sltysr
“It is another illustration of British
contempt for the Boers that they treated
the retirement as though it were an- ad-
vance and preserved the enemy’s line‘ of
communications as carefully as if it hold
been our own."

i. RUSSIA HARD UP.
Trying to Raise a Loan In Germany,
Having Failed Elsewhere.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.—It is stated on the
highest authority that Dr. von Miquel,
Prussian. minister of finance, had a long
conference yesterday with Emperor Wil-
liam. It appears that one of the chief
subjects discussed during the visit of
Emperor Nicholas last week was .the
raising of another Russian loan in Ger-
many, Russia having failed to effect one
anywhere else in Europe. This explains
why Dr. von Miquel was present Wednes-
day evening, along with Count von Bu-
low and Count Muraviefi, the German
and Russian foreign ministers, at the in,
terview between the czar and the kaiser.
Emperor William, it is definitely as-
serted, made no promise to the czar in
the matter, leaving it understood that
whether the German government would
favor another Russian loan here or not
depended largely upon D‘r. von Miquel’s
answer, prepared at Emperor William’s
request.
In the meantime Dr. von Miquel con-
sulted with the leading German finan-
ciers, nearly all of whom discouraged the
proposal, as they have been reliably in-
formed that the Transsiberiam railroad is
likely to prove far more expensive than
is generally surmised. Moreover, a Rus—
sian financial crash is expected soon.
Yesterday .Dr. von Miquel reported to
this effect to- the kaiser, and it may be
considered certain that the proposed loan
here‘ has failed.

The correspondent with General Young
t§legr=1phs from San Jose that Aguinaldo
did not escape to the northeast. He and
his army, the correspondent adds, are
surrounded. His last orders to the Fili-
pino commander at San Jose were to hold
San Jose and Carranglan at all costs.
The recent encounters were too one sided
to be called fights.
The insurgents are mortally afraid of
the Americans, however strong their po-
sition. They make but a brief and feeble
resistance and run when the American
yell reaches their ears, whereupon the
Americans pursue them and kill many.
The moral effect of the news that 60,-
000 troops are on their way here has been
unquestionably great.
Insurgents are suffering more from dis-
ease than the Americans, owing to poor
food, lack of medicines and filthy hos-
pitals, with the result that there is great
mortality among them.
General Lawton has intercepted a tele-
gram from an insurgent captain to a Fil-
ipino general, reading:
“How can you blame me for retreating
when only 12 of my company were able
to fight?” '
A dispatch from Tayug, dated Nov..12,
3 p. m., which comes over the military
wire via Talavera, says:
,“Wessels, with the Third cavalry, took-
Tayug at 1:30 o’clock. There was no re-
sistance. The small insurgent garrison
at the place fled terror stricken to the
mountains.
“Today’s move from Lubao was a big
surprise to the Filipinos. San Quentin
was found deserted. The cavalry over-
took the fleeing people. Their personal
effects were piled up in carts. which were
stuck in the heavy roads. When the eav-
alrymen approached the people were ter-
rorized, as they expected to be killed.
“The Filipinos at Tayug fled to San
Nicolas, three miles in the mountains,
taking-the insurgent Wounded and am~
mnnition with them. They also had four
American prisoners—one army corporal
and three sailors- A troop of cavalry is
pursuing them. ‘
“Sixty-nine Spanish prisoners escaped
to our lines. The rebels who were guard-
ing them fled in terror as our men ap-
proached, leaving the prisoners in the
plaza: in the center of the town. The
Spaniards indulged? in wildi demonstra-
tions when the Anzericans'appeared and
excitedly shouted ‘Viva- los- Americanos!’
