'i WHEATOMVANCES:
‘AmeriCans Sweep Everything .
Clear to Laguna. de Bay.
INSURGENTS BURN CITY OF PASlG.
Small Bands of Insurgents Driven {
Back With Continued Loss—A
. Large Force Put to Flight.
MANILA, March 15.—Brigadier Gen- .
eral Wheaton’s column advanced yes—
terday beyond Pasig to the shore of
Laguna de Bay, sweeping everything_
before them. ,
The enemy made a running .fight and
suffered severe loss.
The rebels’ avenue of communication
north and south is now closed, the
American cordon stretching over a mile ;
from the river to the lake.
Two of_ Monday’s wounded—Private
Stewart of Company B, Twentieth regi-
ment, and Private Munson of-Company
K, Twenty-second regiment—are dead.
At 7 o’clock in the morning, hearing
the insurgents’ bugles sounding, Scott’s
battery dropped three shrapnel shells
into the wood‘s'on the left of the Pasig
church.
No reply was made, and at 7:45 the
Twenty-second regular infantry ad-
vanced until they encountered a num-
ber of volleys. This fire was returned
with interest.
The line then wheeled toward Pateros
in the following order: The Oregon vol-
unteers, a cavalry detachment, the
Twenty-second regulars and reserve ar-
tillery.
The troops followed the roads, while
the gunboats Ceste and Laguna de Bay
assisted in suppressing the fire on the
left flank. Three rebel canoes were cap-
tured on the river. _
The rebel sharpshooters at Caloocan
continue active, but no casualties are
reported.
Late yesterday General Wheaton’s
column encountered the enemy in such'
force between Pateros and Taguig as
to necessitate a change in the original
plans.
The cavalry attacked a rebel strong—
hold in the jungle, driving the enemy
into Pateros. The Americans had one
man killed and three wounded.
Scott’s battery shelled the town and
woods effectively.
Later the enemy crossed the river
from Pasig. Two companies of the Sec-
ond Oregon infantry cleared the right
bank after a sharp engagement and
then retired with three wounded. In the
meantime the Washington volunteers
closed in, driving small bodies of the
rebels back upon Pateros. One man,-
was killed. ‘
During the night the enemy burned
the town of Pasig.
Otis Reports Our Losses.
WASHINGTON, March 15.—The fol-
lowing cable from General Otis has
reached the war department: ‘
“Manila, March 14.—Until yesterday
field operations here since capturing
Caloocan have been of a minor nature,
consisting of driving back small bands
of insurgents, with considerable loss to
the latter. Yesterday General Wheaten,
with the Twentieth and Twenty—sec-
ond infantry, the Oregon and Wash-
ington troops, a section of the Sixth ar-
tillery and a squadron of the Fourth
cavalry, attacked a large force of the
enemy, drove them back and took the
line of the Pasig river, which he now
holds. Two improvised gunboats in the
lake have captured consider-able prop-
erty. The insurgent loss was heavy..
Our loss, killed and wounded, was
slight, aggregating 35, most-1y slightly
wounded. The insurgents, made no de--
termined stand.” -
Spain \Vill Not 'Appenl.
MADRID, March 15.-—-Premier_,Siivels
and General Pblavieja, minister of war,
declared after their visit to the palace
yesterday that there would be no at—
tempt on the part of the government
to secure the mediation .of the powers
to obtain the release .of the Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Philippine
insurgents. They also said that the
next cabinet council would decide the
date of the parliamentary elections and
fix the time of the opening of the new
cortes. \
Adnlinistration to Uplhold Otis.
VVASH'IN ., N, March 15.—No pro-
test has yet been received at the state
department relative to the reported re-
fusal of General Otis to agree to the
ransom of the Spanish prisoners held
by Aguinaldo. War department officials
say that if General Otis has acted as re-
ported he has undoubtedly done so for
good and suflicient reasons, and his de-
cision will be upheld by the administra-
tion.

MRS. . PLACE MUST DIE.
Governor Roosevelt .Declinel to
4 . Mitigate Sentence. ‘
' ALBANY, March 16.—-At 5 o’clock yes-
terday afternoon Governor Roosevelt
gave otit an official statement that he
had declined to interferewith the course
of the law in the case of Mrs. Place.
Governor Roosevelt, in his memorani
dum on_ refusing .to commute Mrs.
Place’s sentence after. reviewing her
trial, conviction and unsuccessful ap-
peal to the court of appeals, says:
“No more painful case can come be-
fore a governor than anlappeal to arrest
the course of justice in order to save a
woman from capital punishment when
that woman’s guilt has been clearly es-
tablished and when there are no cir-
cumstances whatever to mitigate the
I crime.
“Her attorneys and her pastor appeal-
ed to me for clemency. They raised no
question as to her guilt, but claimed'
that she was insane. The attorneys as—
serted that she was insane at the time
the deed was‘committedand was now
insane. The clergyman stated that she
was undoubtedly sane at present, but
that he believed her to have been in-
sane when the deed was committed, al-
though he did not then come personally
in contact with her.
“I accordingly appointed two doctors
of the" highest standing, upon whose
professional capacity, common sense
and deep conscient’iousness I could im-
plicitly rely, and directed them to exam-
ine the accused, to decide whether she
was or had been insane. They reported
tome that she was 'not insane; that she
was sane at the time of the commission
of the murder and before and since.
“There is thus no question of the wo-
man’s guilt and no question of her san-
ity. All that remains is the question as
to whether I should be justified in inter-
fering to save a murderess on the
ground of her sex when no justification
would exist to interfere on behalf of a
murderer.
“The only case of capital punishment
which has occurred since the beginning
-of my term as governor was for wife
murder, and I refused to consider the
appeals then made to me on behalf of
the man who killed his wife after I be-
came convinced that he had really done
the deed and was sane. In that case a
woman was killed by'a man. In this
case a woman was killed by another
woman. The law makes no distinction
of sex in such a crime.”
Will Inspect Canal Routes.
WASHINGTON, March 16.—About 60_
senators and representatives have ac-’
cepted invitations for a trip that has
been planned to inspect the routes of
the proposed Nicaragua and Panama
canals, coming home by way of San-
tiago and other points of interest in
the West Indies. They will go as the
guests of the Panama Canal company,
in accordance with an invitation ex-
tended on the last day of‘congress to
Representative Burton’s committee on
rivers and harbors and Senator Frye’s
committee on commerce. The invitation
has since been extended so as to include
a number of the members of both
houses outside of these two 'commit-
tees. The party will have an ocean
steamer to itself and will sail from
New York about March 23 and from
Mobile April 1.

‘Profit in White Clover Seed.
It is so difiicult. to cut and cure the
white clover after it. has ripened its
seed that this seed must always be
high priced. It is therefore worth
while for. farmers who complain that
everything they grow is too cheap to
give them any profit to seed plentifully
With white cldver on some land that is
reasonably free from weeds, and grow
this crop as a specialty. What is now
marketed is secured from the hand-
picked heads of clover, out- of which the
seed is pounded‘and the chaif blown
away. W'hite clover heads are pretty
sure to be filled with seed, as the honey'
bus pass from flower to flower and
fertilize it.
