DIFFICULTIES OF MARCH
Weary Soldiers Flounder
Swamps Waist Deep in Mud and
Sleep on Wet Ground in Drizzling
Bain General Lawton Hides Night
and Day Insurgents Driven to the
Hills.
Manila, June I. S p. m. The position
of the American troops tonight Indi
cates that they will tomorrow sweep
the peninsula of Morong, the land pro
jecting to the smith Into Lugunn de
Hay, whore the insurgents are supposed
to have a largo force, near the town of
Morong, as well as the battery on the
western shore of the peninsula, which
recently smashed the propeller of the
gunboat Nnpldnn.
General Hall Is marching from Anti
pole, about six and a half miles north
west of Morong, towards the peninsula
with his forces spread out to cover a
large section. Colonel Truman, with
the First North Dakota regiment and
the Twelfth Infantry, Is advancing
nlong the coast of the lake from Tay-
i. Incidentally clearing several small
towns. Colonel Whollcy, with the Flr"t
Washington regiment, has landed on
the peninsula above the town of Mor
ong. The army gunboats Napidan,
Civadmiga and Cento are in a position
to co-operate. The original plan was
to surround the forces of General Plo
del Pilar, so that be must retreat to
the Morong peninsula, where capture
would have been inevitable. This was
not completed because General Hall's
column found the country full of handi
caps to marching. There were several
stieams to lie bridged or forded and
the tioops lloundered through mor
asses, waist deep in mud, an eperlenee
which exhausted the Ainei leans quite
beyond endurance. Most of General
Pllar's followers nre supposed to have
escaped northward, probably reaching
Rosn Host), a stronghold In the moun
tains. Colonel Whollcy having successfully
completed his share of the movement,
brought the Washington regiment to
th" river l'aslg, where last night about
midnight the men embarked upon ens
coes and started for their destination
under the convoy or the gunboats.
They encountered a repetition of the
experience undergone by almost every
expedition on attempting to enter La-
guna de Hay, as the boats went aground
In the shallows at tho mouth of tho
ilcr and were detained there several
hours.
General Lawton's Activity.
Major General Lawton, In the mean
time, was Indefatigable, riding from
one force to the other and supervising
the loading of the eascoes without sleep
for two nights.
General Hall's column, which assem
bled at the water works or pumping
station, late Friday night, under cover
of a moonless sky, consisted of the
Second Oregon volunteers, who marched
to the point of rendezvous from the
city barracks, a battalion of tho Sec
ond Wyoming regiment, four troops of
the Fourth cavalry one mounted on
the big American horses which so Im
pressed the natives, the others un
mountedtwo battalions of tho Fourth
Infantry, one battalion of the Ninth
Infantry, the first six companies of the
First Colorado regiment and two moun
tain guns. The men rolled themselves
In their blankets and lay upon the wet
grass for a few hours under a drizzling
rain.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning (Sat
urday) they began to cross the San
Mateo river and about noon easily re
pulsed n largo band of Filipinos about
twelve miles east of Manila, Between
Marlaulna and Antlnolo.
The Oregon regiment, the cavalry,
the artillery and tho Fourth Infantry
accomplished this task, driving tho In
surgents from the hills, the other troops
being hold In reserve, but afterwards
Joining the main column In the pursuit
toawrd tho sen.
A Running Fight.
A running fight was In progress all the
afternoon. Filipino outpost llrst at
tacked a few American scouts, where
upon the Fourth cavalry formed a skir
mish line nnd easily drove the Insur
gents Into the hills. Then the Oregon
regiment moved across a wot, soggy
rlee field, In extended order, toward the
hills, where It was believed a largo,
force of the enemy had concentrated.
When tho Oregonlans were within
about a mile of the position the Fili
pinos opened a heavy fire, the Ameri
cans replying and pressing forward
more rapidly.
After a few volleys the Insurgents
were seen scattering over the crest of
the hills In every direction, and their
panic was Increased when tho artillery
opened upon them and the shells be
gae to explode all around them, un
doubtedly causing great loss of life.
The bombardment by the batteries nnd
the musketry was maintained for near
ly half an hour, after which not a Fili
pino could be seen on the hills and not
a shot eume from the position.
The heat wns Intense nnd the troops
suffered greatly, but they continued on
the trail taken by tho tle(ng enemy In
the bono of driving them toward tho
lake.
Colonel "Wholley with two battalions
of the Flist Washington regiment, a
battalion or tho Twelfth Infantry, two
guns of Scott's battery and a party of
scouts under Major Jolsenbergor left
San Pedro Macatl yesterday morning
arc! after fording tho rlvt-r Pasljj, nd-
, vanoed northeast upon Calnta, while
(Genual II-UI approached the town front
the opposite direction, the cunboats
Nnpldnn, Covudonga and Ccsto co
operating In tho river.
Tliln Important movement was kept
so secret that tho public thought the
plan was to send General Ovonshlno's
linos forward ngainst the Insurgents
who are Intrenched south of the city.
The signal corps displayed admirable
enterprise In laying wires with the
troops, but the ntitlve sympathizers cut
tlipiu behind tho army, even within the
American lines.
HALL'S BRILLIANT FIOHT.
Troops Complete a Circuit of Twenty
Miles nnd Win Two Battles.
Manila, Juno 1. S.",", p. m. General
Hall's column. In the movement upon
the Morong peninsula, completed a cir
cuit of twenty miles over rough nnd
mountainous country, having two en
gagements with the Insurgents, one of
them severe, keeping up an almost con
stant fire against scattered bands of
rebels for nearly twenty-four hour.5)
from I o'clock Saturday morning. when
tho column left the pumping station.
The Filipinos were driven In every
direction and the country through
which General Hull passed was pretty
thoroughly cleared. At 10 o'clock this
morning the column reached a point
a few miles from Taytay. where Gen
eral Hall was met by General Law
ton, who had already entered the town
and found it deserted.
General Hall's objective point was
Antipole, ten miles off, and there was
desultory tiring nil along the lino of
inarch. The gunboats could be heard
shelling the hills In advance of the
column.
The column, after driving the rebels
from the foothills, near Mariachlno,
about noon yesterday, with a loss of
but two or three slightly wounded, pro
ceeded with nil possible haste toward
Laguna de Hay, the Fourth cavalry in
tho lead, the Oregon regiment next and
the Fourth infantry last. At fi o'clock
those regiments fought their second
battle of tho day and It resulted like
the first. In the complete rout of a
large Filipino force located In the
mountains and having every advantage
of position. In this light the American
loss was four killed three of the
Fourth cavalry and one Orogonlan
and about fifteen wounded. The Fili
pino loss could not be ascertained, but
the terrific tire which the Americans
poured Into them for half an hour must
have Inflicted sevuro punishment. In
this engagement our troops made one
of the inos-t gallant charges of the war
and the enemy was forced to llee In
tho greatest disorder.
It was the Intention to press on to
Antlpolo last night, but this was found
impossible, owing to the two fights nnd
the constant inarching for more than
twelve hours, with nothing to eat since
morning nnd no supply train In sight.
The troons, moi cover, suffered from
(he intense beat, many being pros
trated and all gieatly exhausted. 'Con
sequently they bivouacked for tho night
on the second battlefield.
Robels in Ambush.
The cavalry, the Oregonlans and two
companies of the Fourth Infantry, bad
Just crossed a small creek about .")
o'clock yesterday afternoon and en
tered upon a sunken road from which
they were emerging upon a small val
ley, surrounded on all sides by high
nnd heavily wooded hills when the reb
els, concealed in tile mountains, on the
three sides of the plain, opened a hot
flro and sent showers of bullets into
the ranks of the Americans. The hit
ter deployed immediately in three di
rections. Then followed a charge across tle
rice fields and ditches nnd up the hill
side, from which the shots came nil the
time pouring In n terrific hall while the
air resounded with the constant rattle
of musketry. The Fourth cavalry be
ing in front, suffered the severest loss
when the attack opened, two of their
killed being sergeants and the other a
private. Tho Oregonlan killed was a
private.
The natives were unable to stand tho
vigorous firing of tho Americans long
and at the llrst sign of their wavering
the cavalry, Oregonians and Fourth In
fantrymen broke into wild cheering
and charged still faster up the hillside,
pouring In a volley after volley until
tho enemy left tho places where they
were partially concealed by the thicket,
fled over the summit In the wildest
confusion nnd disappeared in the sur
rounding valleys. After the fight was
over, the firing was continued by tho
Americans for more than an hour In
clearing out the bush and driving away
struggling Filipinos.
The Capture of Antipolo.

The progress of tho column was eon
.Macrubly delayed while passing up the
steep mountain grnde by a small band
of iiis.ui gents, but these were effectu

which was In advance, and the troops

THE WORLD'S COAL
CONSUMPTION
UNITED KINGDOM IS STILL THE
LARGEST PRODUCER.
The United States n Close Second.
Interesting Figures Made by
the Geological Survey Australasia
Comes Next to tho United States
as a Coal Exporting Country.
Great Britain, nnd tho United
States Produco Thirty Per Cent, of
the Conl of the World.
Washington, June 4. The coal pro
duction nnd consumption of the world
anting the past lift eon years are pre
sented In some tables just prepared
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
These show that while the United
Kingdom Is still the largest coal pro
ducer of the world, the United States
Is a close second, and If the present
rate o gain Is continued will soon be
come the leading coal producing coun
try of the world. 'Ihc coal pn.c'.n -
tion of the United Kingdom In 1SD7
was 202,000,000 tons, and that of the
United States, 170.n00.00O; Germany. !!.
000,000; France-, 30,000,000 : Helgliim. 1'2,
000,000; Austro-Hungnry, 12,000.000;
Russia nearly 10.000.u00; Australasia
nearly G.000,000: .lapan over 0,000.000;
British India, 1.000.000; Canada near
ly 1,000.000, and Spain, 2,000,000. No
other country reached 1.000.000 tons in
production. Tii" United States has
gained much mine rapidly during the
liml fifteen years under consideration
than has the United Kingdom or any
of the important coal producing coun
tries of the world, her gains during the
fifteen years being over "'.', per cent,
and that of the United Kingdom less
than II per cent.
The announcement just mado by the
geological survey that the coal pro
duct of the United States in 1S9S was
21H.S30.000 short tons, against 22G,2S7.C00
for Great Britain, shows that the Unit
ed States soon will become the leading
coal producing nation of the world.
As an exporter of coal, however, tho
United States takes low rank In pro
portion to Its production nnd stands
fourth In the list of coal exporting
countries. In 1S07 the exportntlons of
coat from the United Kingdom were
1,000,000 tons; from Germany. 12,000,
000; fioin Holglum. over 0,000,000; from
the United States, a little less than
1,000,000.
Australasia Next to United States.
In 1S0S the quantity exported was
slightly above l.OnO.OOO tons. Australia,
conies next to the United States as a
coal exporting country, her exports
amounting to neatly 3,000.000 tons, while
France exported about 2,.00,000; Japan.
2,000.000, and Canada about 1,250.000
tons In 1S07. Franco is the largest
coal Importer, her importations in 1D7
being nearly 12,000,000 tons, while Ger
many Imported fi,000,000: Anstro-Hun-gary,
n.fiOfi.OOO; Italy. 4,r.no,niO; Canada,
nearly 1,000,000; Helgliim. nearly 3,000,
000: litissln. 2.500.000 Swede n. over 2.2."0.
OOo: the United States, nearly 1,100,000,
and Australasia, 1,000,000 tons.
Great Britain Is also the largest con
sumer of coal in proportion to popula
tion, her coal consumption in 1S07 being
3.K7 tons per capita; that of Belgium,
2.70 tons; the United States, 2.42; Gei
many, 1.5': Canada. 1.2.-.; France, 0 US;
Australasia, 0.!7; Sweden, O.fiO; Aus-tro-IIungary,
0.37: Spain, 0.19: Italy,
0.13; Russia. 0.09; and Japan. 0.07 of a
ton per capita.
According to these figures, which aro
summarized from a report of the pro
duction of the principal countries of
tho world, just issued by the P.rltlsh
govi rninent, the United States now
produces about 30 per cent, of the coal
of ihc world, the coal product of the
f urleen countries enumerated In the
tables being. In 1S37, CRO.OOO.OOO tons, of
which the United States produced 179,
000,000 tons, while in 1SS3 she produced
bit' Z7 per cent, of the total coal pro
duct c.f tho countries enumerated. Tho
l.SiS figures make an even more satis
factory showing for tho United States.

TERRIBLE DEATH
OF A LINEMAN
Robert Thompson Electrocuted While
Repairing n Wire on a High Pole
at Plttston.
Special to the Scrunton Tribune.
Plttston, June 4. T.tist evening Rob
ert Thompson, an employe of the Pltts
ton Klectrlc Light company, also In
charge of the flro alarm equipment for
this city, met a horrible death on top
of a pole on Luzerne avenue.
While llxlng a "break," he got a
hold with both hands on the ends of
the broken wire, thus forming a cir
cuit. A thousand volts passed through
his to 1. The unfortunate young man
uttered a shriek, which attracted the
attention of several In the locality,
who, looking up, saw him held In a
vice-like grip by the disconnected
wlies, while his distorted features had
turned black.
It was a sickening sight. His body
was far above their reach and to climb
to the rescue was a. risk of sharing
the same fate. Some one suggested
to have the circuit cut off and word
was. -phoned to the engine house on the
West Side. When tills was done It
was feared that the victim would be
precipitated to the bottom and woidd
make c.eath doubly sine, but It did not
happen, for the body was held between
a net of wires. Willing hands went
up the pole and by tyltitj a rope abou:
the body It was lowered to the ground.
A hasty examination showed that -Mr.
Thompson was beyond human aid. The
body was brought to tho home of his
parent'.. Deceased wad en exemplary
young man and his sad, sudden death
Is a shock to our community. The
ldi.etal has been arranged for tomor
row afternoon and interment will be
In the Plttston cemetery.
CUBANS DO NOT
WANT OUR GIFTS
The Proposition to Pay 3,000,000
Regarded as an Insult The Army
Should Bo Paid with a Loan to
Cuba.
Havann, June 1. General Collazo
publishes in tlie Hi raid, of Havana, a
letter expounding the Cuban Idea of
the situation. He says, In part:
"A good deal of tho discussion now in
progress shows that the real situation
Is misunderstood. Hoth. the Americans
and the Cubans desire the independ
ence of the island the Americans lie
cause they aro pledged to It and the
Cubans because of patriotic and politi
cal consideration. Retweon tho two
Htands the Washington adminit-tration,
representing the important business In
terests Involved. There is no doubt
that the beauty and rich possibilities
of Cuba have aroused In many of our
visitors a greed which is responsible
for tlie attempt to create the notion
that the country is warlike, whereas
the fact Is that the Cubans are so
docile that even tho desperation of
hunger will not lead them Into wrong
ful action.
"The offer of charity affronts the dig
nity of our people, nnd the gratuity of
?3.000.000 Insults them. The United
States government If It Intends to free
the Island, should pay what Is duo the
nrmy, in the form of a loan to Cuba,
which the Cubans would gladly and
easily repay. Wo do not want gifts,
and the course hitherto followed dis
credits the Ameilcan government
among us and Inspires distrust. Tho
Cubans have been deceived for four
centuries, and It Is only logical that
they should be suspicious now. They
were formerly tnught that the Ameri
cans had an honest home administra
tion, which conformed strictly to law
and knew no favoritism except that
based upon merit.
"In practice here the Cubans see just
the contrary exemplified. Noono among
us sees In advance the measures to be
promulgated, so tlie caprice fif the
military chiefs Is paramount; the peo
ple are a lifeless factor, that can exert
no power nor even protest texcept In
public meetings and tho press. The
Cubans are starving, while hundreds of
thousands of dollars are spent upon
palaces for the American commanders,
who apply the military or the Spanish
law, as the whim suggests. Charity,
such as Is offered, must be In any event
useless, because inadequate. Cuba will
not recuperate without $."0,000,000 to
finance her. In this way recuperation
can be accomplished. All that is nec
essary Is tho will of tho American ad
ministration." When the pay car arrived nt Gulnes
yesterday It was mot by a large crowd,
and the guards had considerable work
In keeping the people back. Colonel
Randall made 174 payments nnd re
jected thirty-seven applicants. Tho
payments mado today brought the total
up to 417. nnd there was a large crowd
fltlll waiting at G o'clock, when th
oHlce closed. Probably nil of tomorrow
will bo required to complete the pay
ments. The crowds were orderly. It was re
ported that General Hernandez had
made threats against soldiers who
should accept American money, but In
the course of an Interview UiIh after
noon he asserted that he had given
arms to all soldleis who wore desirous
of muklnsr application. The pay car
will leavo for .larueo late tomorrow.

Paris, Juno I. Mrs. Kmlly Crawford
wntes as follows:
"Colonel Du Paty de Clam Is con
fined In the cell where he tortured
Dityfus. He showed himself a tor
tiiimg Inquisitor, bereft of conscience.
What an awful awakening there must
be now of the hidden monitor! Neme
sis has been lest halting than usual
"n overtaking him. I am told thnt he
was preparing to escape to Helglum
when he was arrested.
'"Mme. Du Paty de Clam Is a sister
of the Due d'Ursel, a great IJelglan
nobleman, who Is also governor of the
province of Haluault. Her llrst cou
sin is Count Mini, head of the Catholic
1 urty in the French chamber of depu
ties. Her brother recently married a
daughter of Comte and Comtesse de

owners of the Chateau Muetto, at
Hussy, which was formerly a royal
shooting lodge. The chateau stinds
In a largo park, with stately avenues
of ancient trees planted two hundred
yen.s- ago.
"Mme. Du Paty do Clam had tho
Clerical party behind her, and Colonel
Du Paty de Clam was protected by
Y.'.t n.usln, M. Cavalgnnc. He, feeling
forsaken, Is likely to make revelations.
"General Mercier (former minister of

so.
"Hefore Colonel Du Paty de Clam's

c.f hlia were sent to the frontier com
missioners of police.
An Appeal to Faure.
"A pith"tic feature of the Dreyfus
case Is the eleven long supplicatory
letters to President Fa tiro from Devil's
island. Dreyfus fancied that General
de Roisdcffre and M. Faure were his
friends, and he wrote to them nccord
Ifg . Ills whole heart, soul and o

these letters. No wonder that M
F.iuie In dying supplicated all those
whom he had Injured to forgive him.
"Thnbe" infant, coming from Faure's
lips, Dreyfus and his family. The
late piesident suffered himself to be
blackmailed Into hindering the work
c f Justice, and Nemesis took him up
also. Were he still alive tho event
of today could not have happened.
President T.oubet has stood out against
all tampering with the Judicature.
"Colonel Plcquarfs memorial was
adopted, though in terms, by the court
cf cassation. He is stiil In prison, but
w'1' i i nimbly be reius. nest week.
'The judgment of ihe court of cassa

Scenes of Excitement nt tho Auteil
Rnccs President Loubet and Pre
mier Dupuy Are Greeted by Hoots
nnd Yells and Missiles Thirty
Arrests Aro Made Demonstration
Arranged by Anti-Semites and tho
Jeunnesse Koyaliste More Arrests
to Be Made Today.
Paris, June 4. President Loubet, ac
companied by his premier, M. Dupuy,
and the chief of the military house
hold, General M. C. Rallloud, drove
to the Auteull races this afternoon,
closely followed by Madame Loubet In
a second landau. As they drove along
the Avenues Dos Chnmps Klysoos tho
crowd bowed respectfully, but on ar
riving at Auteull they were met by a
violent demonstration, evidently organ
ized, and directed against the presi
dent. There was a storm of hoots, yells
and cries or "Panama," A has Lou
bet" und "Vive L'Armee." A few
shouts of "Vivo LoulK-t" were drowned
n the clamor.
A strong force of police kept order
and arrested many of the disturbers.
Including a man who tried to force his
way to the president's carriage.
Dm ins' the second race the clamor
lin leased to violence and was plainly
directed by a committee of the League
f Patriots collected with their sup
porters both before and behind tho
presidential stand, around which a for
midable affray proceeded. Dining tho
grand steeple chase many blows wero
struck and several policemen wore In
jured in their endeavors to prevent
an invasion of the presidential stand.
At the crisis of the excitement whllo
shouts of "Vive L'Armee" nnd "Vivo
Deroulede" was heard on all sides,
Count Christiana rushed towurd tho
president, brandishing a stick nnd di
rected a blow against him, striking
bis hat.
The crowd rushed upon Christiana,
who only escaped severe handling by
being taken under police protection.
President Loubet remained all tho
while unmoved, talking to the premier,
while the linkers of his military house
hold were defending him against vio
lence. Finally, after thirty arrests had been
made, tlie police ordered the Republi
can guards to surroUnd tho presiden
tial stand.
The principal leaders of tho demon
stration were Mr. Josenh Lastes, nntl
Semlto and nationalist deputy for
Cirs, and M. Firmin Faure, anti-Semite
and nationalist deputy for Oran,
Algeria.
Police Inspector Grllllere had his
head seriously wounded In the melee,
nnd President Loubet has since decor
ated him with the cross of the Legion
of Honor In recognition of his devotion
to duty.
Sympathy for Loubot.
On returning to the Klysees palace
M. Loubet receleved many sympathiz
ing callers.
11 seems certain that the demonstra
tion was organized by the Jeunnesso
roynllste, the Llgu Des Patrlotes and
the anti-Semites, the rallying sign be
ing a cnrnatlon In the buttonhole.
Count Chrlstlutil Is a member of tho
steeple chase society, a very select
body, and his conduct has produced tho
greatest Indignation.
A .-wcliil cabinet council vVas sum
mon! d at 0 o'clock this evening to con
sider the situation and Important
measures were concerted, to be sub
mitted to the prcsddont at another
council tomorrow for the preservation
of order. The ministers, who were in
session until 11 o'clock, maintain stilct
leserve as to the nature of these meas
ures, but a semi-ofllclal noto has been
Issued which saya:
"The government will net with tho
greatest energy and will Impose respect
for the president and for the state."
The events of the day will lead to an
important discussion In the chamber
of deputies, wheie the government will
demand a vote of confidence.
There Is some fear of a renewal ot
the disturbances, although the police
precautions are of the most thorough
character, and nt a late hour this even
ing more or less excitement Is still ob
seivable on the boulevards.
Countoss Castellane Takes Part.
Further accounts show that thn
whole race course, ixmiculnrly the en
closure, witnessed scenes of tho wildest
excitement. Comtesse Ron! Do Castel
lane, who was Miss Anna Gould, ot
New Yoik, placed herself at the head
of the Jeunesse Roynllste and marched
up and down the lawn shouting "Vivo
L'Armee." Comte Hunt De Castellano
nnd his brother Jenn wero arrested,
hut soon liberated. Comte Do Dion,
when arrested. resisted and fought with
his cane, smashing It on n policeman's
head. He was detHlned In custody.
Altogether about I3 arrests wero
inndo, one being that ot M. Dansette,
deputy mayor of Armentleres.
Demonstrations nnd counter-demonstrations
continued until M. Loubet left
tho race course at 4.S0 p. m., the ar
rlvat ot his carriage being the signal
for nn Indescribable tumult. Tho
mounted guards with dldleulty opened
a passage through the crowd, tho pres
ident being pursued to tho last with
hoots and yells. Kvon eggs wero
thrown.
It was noteworthy, however, that the
people generally cheered him loudly.tho
cheers Increasing a he drove toward
the F.lyseo which he reached safely nt
4.15 p. m. During tho demonstrations
n number of hnts lubeled "resignation"
wero picked up.
