Adjutant General, Washington: Summers, with six baf tallone, Oregon.Dakota, Third infantry and a piece of the Utah light artillery of Lawton's division proceeded north this morning to Maas and crossed the river and charged the enemy in strong entrenchments, driving him northward and inflicting cons'derable loss. Hia casualties were two wounded. Both Wheaton and Hale of MacAr; thur's division fou id the enemy in force strongly entrenched and . com manded by Commarder in Chief Luna, about four miles south of San Fernan do. Hale on the; right dislodged the enemy and Wheaton on the left, lead ing in person, mada a brilliant charge, scattering hte forces: mllkrting great punishment.

It is not believed that the, enemy can make another determined stand until he affects a retreat to Mount Arayat at a nhort distance from San Isidro. (Signed Otis. Another dispatch received today from Otis says: "The situation is as follows: Lawton, holds Baliuag, cap tured the 2nd instant, after a rapid movement from Aga'tl where he Was supplied ..with a wagon train, pack an imals and rations. He scattered the strongly entrenched enemy to the north and northeastward, capturing large amounts of food supplies and has his detachments to the north and east ward. "His successful movement was at tended with great difficulty because of the character of the country, rain and heat. He now covers our communica tion: -and will be uppMed from Malolos.

'4 I BOND SUIT PROBLEM Which: Confronts the Board of County Commissioners. Will They Continue the Late Campaign for "Repudiation?" Or Will They AJi0w the Bond holders to Win Without Protest? : The Case 'Brought Into the federal Co irt Board Will Probably Resist It. ' The board of coaaty commissioners of Buncombe county have reached-that period in their official career which they doubtless regad as a state of "durance vile." When the present board assumed direction of affairs it was confronted by the position taken by 'the previous" board on the bond question. This ques tion was an issue in the campaign, to far as it created th issue of "repudi ation" or no repudiation. When it was elected the board saw but one course oprn to it, that in re verse of the policy of the old board in its efforts to prevr.t the payment o the county's bond3. which amounted to about $90,000. The old board was re publican, the new board is democratic. In accordance with the new policy the democratic board some time ago pass ed a resolution which was drafted by the county attorney, . and which de clared that the county's bonds must and should In Justice be pafd and in distinct language repudiated repudia tion. The question, however, presents some practical aspects that are diffi cult for the board to meet off hand. The state supreme court held 'that the bonds were, as a matter of fact, in valid. This decisioi aroused the bond holders, and in the federal court now In session in this city they have brought suit against the county for $60,000. The commissioners are confronted with the question, To tVht or not to fight The commissioners considered this question at a meeting held yesterday, and they Utill make a decision within the next ten days. As a result of a result of a "concatl nation of adverse circumstances" th new board may feel itself forced to take up. the fl-ht for "repudiation" v. here the old board left ft. To refuse to do so will be to invite the condemnation of a larg number of people In the coun. who approve of the decision of the supreme court. The board must take up the fight or take the pop' tion of paying out the county's money on bonda which the highest court In the state has declared invalid. The commissioners, it is rOT stated, ' believe they are under moral oblgations to pay thi bonds, but in the face of the decision of the supreme court they feel that the county is en titled, to have the law and the fact (Continued on Fifth Page.) 200 Pairs Worth 90c : : at : : 60cts PER PAIR .AAA, AA-A AAAA m A i We haye just closed out a large manufacturers' sto: -of extra heavy Sterling Sil ver Link CufI Buttons which we are offering for 60 cents per pair as long as they last.
