Manila, June 5. —The American
tro<Pps are sweeping the peninsula ol
Morong. the land projecting to the
south into I.aguna de Hay. where the
insurgents have a large force near the
town of Morong, as well as the battery |
on the western shore of the peninsula |
which recently smashed the propellet
of the gunboat Napitong. Gen. Hal j
marched from Antipolo. about six and j
a half miles northwest of Morong. to- j
ward the peninsula, with his forces
spread out. to cover a large section

kota regiment and the Twelfth infan
try, advanced along the coast ot the,
lake from Taytay. incidentally clear
ing several small towns.
There were several streams to be ;
bridged or forded and the troops fre- j
quently floundered through morasses
waist deep in mud. an experience j
which, under the terrific sun. exhaust
ed the Americans quite beyond endur
ance.
Col. Whooley. having successfully J
completed his share of the movement.!
brought the Washington regiment t<. ;
the river I'asig. where late Saturday j
night the men embarked upon barge.- j
and started for their destination un
der the convoy of the boats.
Gen. Lawton was indefatigable, rid
ing from one force to another super
vising the loading of the barges.
At t o'clock Saturday morning Gen.
Hall's troops began to cross the San
Mateo river and about noon easily re- i
pulsed a large band of Filipinos about
12 miles east of Manila. The Oregon '
regiment, the cavalry, the artillery |
and the Fourth infantry accomplished j
this task, driving the insurgents from I
the hills, the other troops being held |
in reserve, but afterwards joining tin ]
main column in the pursuit.
A running fight was in progress all
the afternoon. A Filipino outpost
first attacked a few American scouts
whereupon the Fourth cavalry formed
a long skirmish line and easily drove
the insurgents into the hills. Thci:
the Oregon regiment moved across a
wet rice field, in extended order, to- j
ward the hills, where it was believed a
large force of the enemy had eon'cen- j
trated. When the Oregonians were
within about a mile of the position j
the Filipinos opened a heavy fire, th<
Americans replying and pressing for
ward more rapidly.
After a few volleys the insurgents
scattered over the crest of the hills ir
every direction and their panic was in
creased when the artillery opened
upon them and the shells began to ex
plode all around them, undoubtedly
causing great loss of life. The bom
bardment by the batteries and lh<
xnusketrj was maintained for i;<arh
half an hour, aft' r which not a Filipinc
could be seen on the hills.
Gen. Hall's column, in the move
ment upon the Morong peninsula
completed a circuit of ~o miles, ovet
mountainous country, having two en
gagements with the insurgents. one
of them severe, and keeping up an al
most constant fire against scattered
bands of rebels for nearly 24 hours.
The Filipinos were driven in even,
direction and the country throng!
which Gen. Hall passed was prctlv
thoroughly cleared. At 10 o'clock
Sunday morning the column reachcc j
a point a few miles from Taytay
where (Jen. Hall was met by Gen. Law
ton. who had alrcadv entered the towr
and found it deserted.
The column, after driving the rebels
from the foothills near Mariachino
about noon Saturday, with a loss ol
but two or three slightly wounded
proceeded toward Laguna de l'ay, the
Fourth cavalry in the lead, the Ore
gon regiment next and the Fourth in
fantry last. At 5 o'clock these three
wgiments fought their seeond batik
of the day, and it resulted, like the
first, in the complete rout of a large
Filipino force located in the moun
tains and having every advantage ol
position.
In this figlit the American loss was
four killed three of the Fourth cav

wounded. The Filipino !<>>>. conk,

which the Americans poured into then
for half an hour must have inflicted
severe punishment. In this engage

The troops, after camping for the
night on tlie battlefield, started Sun
day morning for Antipolo, where il
was expected a strong resistance would
be made.

No I Deceived.
New York, June 7. — When the Mazet
Investigation committee resumed its
'res ion yesterday the first thing done
was to declare that in the future none
of the witnesses subpoenaed to appear
before the committee should he repre
sented by counsel. This was followed
by the excluding from the court, room
of Police Captain Price's counsel, If.
C. Henderson, who created a sensation
at the previous sitting of the commit
tee last week. He was given to un
derstand that if he wished to attend
the hearing it should be merely as a
spectator.
The committee then in an attempt to
show corrupt practices by Police Cap
tain Price, in the tenderloin district,
brought out from John C. Kllis, former
proprietor of a Sixth avenue saloon,
a story of protection that did not pro
tect. His statement involved ex-Al
derman A. I'. Waite. Kllis stated that
Waite had collected for police pro
tection for tlie resort. Kllis said he
offered Waite a check for if >0 to make j
up the agreed monthly installment of
> TiO, but that Waite refused the check.
Kllis said he took the cash to Waite's
house that night and paid it to him
there. The payment, he said, did not
see l lre the '"protection" promised and
the police harrussed him as much as
ever. Another proposition made tn
him. Kllis testified, was to give up half
the receipts of the place. The witness
| said he was forced out of business.
11. C. Henderson, Price's counsel, was
j arrested later on the charge of disor
derly conduct. The charge was pre
ferred bv Counsel Clark and Sergeant
at-Arms Crawford and was the result
of the wrangle at the session last
week. Mr. Henderson gave bail in

Chicago, June 0.- The June crop re
port of the Ornnge .Tudd Farmer shows
a condition of winter wheat of 70.8 per
cent, against 72.0 on May 1. There has
been severe decline in the promise in
tile Ohio and Missouri valleys and some
decline in California. Insects and rust
are reported over an increasing area,
but the main trouble is the lack of vi
tality in the plant which resulted from
the root damage of the severe winter.
The acreage, which last fall was re
ported at nearly 30,000,000. has been
reduced by plowing up and abandon
ment to 24,574.000, or nearly 2,000,000

The spring wheat area is reported at
TU:;:i,ooo acres, or 100,000 acres larger
than last year, and the average condi
tion 91.0 against 00.1 a year ago. It is
lower only because the crop is started

Washington, .Tune 10. Kx-Senator
Theodore F. (invis, of <>liio, was a wit
ness before the industrial commission
Friday. lie is both a producer and a
refiner of petroleum at Marietta and
his testimony dealt with the opera
tions of the Standard Oil trust and tha
Argan Oil Co. He complained of tha
discriminations of the railroad com
panies. saying that the managers of
some of the roads were interested in
rival companies and the other com
panies were so favored that his com
pany had been compelled to suspend
business. This discrimination was
also practiced by the pipe lines against
producers who did not control these
lines. In such cases they were also
unable to secure fair rates from rail
roads, forcing the conclusion that the
railroad companies were concerned for
the success of the pipe lines.
Mr. Davis said that the Standard
had been able to come into the control
of most of the producing area and this
was accomplished through co-operat
ing companies. lie said that as a re
finer he had purchased considerable oil
from the Standard Co. and that it was
the custom of the Standard to charge
np its losses of oil by fire, leakage*
etc., in any given district to the pur
chasers in that district, distributing
the loss among them. He also said
1 h.it the Standard company had such
close relations with the railroad com
panies and so completely controlled the
markets as to render it almost imprac
ticable for any other refiner to enter
upon the manufacture of such bypro
ducts us lubricating oil.
He stated that on one occasion a
shipping clerk of his firm had been ap
proached by the Standard and oil'ercd
money for information as to the busi
ness of the concern. This scheme
had failed, owing to the fidelity of the
clerk, but the firm became satisfied
that the Standard had information of
every barrel shipped by his house.
Kvery shipment was followed up and
the consignees approached with offers
of oil »t lower rates. The competi
tors also resorted to duplicating his
brands and sending out under thein
inferior articles of oil. The competi
tion had at hist become so fierce that
his house had been compelled togo
out of business.
Mr. l'hillips asked Mr. Davis if if,
was not a fact that the profits of the
Standard company were greater on
each barrel of oil sold than the cost of
the article, but the witness declined
to express an opinion on this point,
saying he did not know. It was a fact,
he said, that the Standard company
had purchased several refining plants
and had then dismantled them, but
he was not prepared to say that such
refineries were well enough located to
render it profitable to maintain them.
Mr. Davis was followed by Mr. T. C.
West gate, an oil refiner si t Titusville,
Pa. Among other companies in which
he is interested is the Pure Oil com
pany. lie said that in both New York
and Philadelphia the Standard com
pany had reduced the price of oil im
mediately upon his company entering
the field and that, owing to this reduc
tion, oils were now being sold in both
markets at prices which rendered the
business unprofitable. Mr. Davis re
lated some of the particulars of his
competition with the Standard, saying
that the Standard managers kept a
strict account of all the oil sent out b\r
rivals.
His general policy was to try to get
only a small percentage of the busi
ness in each place and he had found
that so long as he pursued this plan
or ices could be held up, but that if he
endeavored to increase the quantity
prices were immediately reduced, with
the intention of driving him out of the
field. Mr. Westgate had no doubt
that the Standard each morning knew
just what shipments had been made
by him the day before. lie could not
say that the railroads supplied the in
formation. but he knew that it did not
go from his own oTTice.
