Under Wheaton.
Running Fire Foured into
Both Flanks of Our
Troops.
Reinforcements Arrived, and
Rebels Were Repulsed
With Great Loss.
Another Party fails to Disclose Enemy
Citizens of Rozario Wish Garri
son Aguinaldo's ssassina
tion n ot Improbable.
Manila, Monday Evening, June 19.
General Wheaton, with a bataiion of
the Fourth infantry and one ?un, left
Imus this morning to , make a recon
noissance in the direction of Perez Das
mariajoaa. When the party was within
a mile and a half. of the town. It ac
complished its purpose and started to
return. Soon afterward the enemy was
discovered paralleling both flanke of
the Americans.
The insurgents immediately opened
fire on three sides of the battalion,
which continued its return march to
ward Imus, keeping up a heavy fire
against the larger force of the enemy
for over five miles, losing five killed
and twenty wounded. When word of
the fle-hting reached Imus, two fresh
J battalions with more guns were sent to
reinforce the reconnoitering party.
These joined the first battalion at 4:10
in the afternoon and the combined
force pushed the rebels back toward
Perez Dasmarianas. The enemy's loss
was severe. Our casualties will prob
ably number forty.
Another reconnoitering party from
Cavite went nearly to San Francieco
del Madabon. This reconnaissance did
not discle the enemy in force as was
expected, only a number of sharp
shooters being found.
A committee of residents of Rosario
sent a petition to General Otie this
morning asking him to garrison that
town.
The Sixth infantry is going to Negros
island to relieve the California troops.
General Otis intends ito open all the
parts of the Island of Negros.
Since the -death of Luna there have
been -frequent reports of the assassina
tion of Aguinaldo. The only ground for
believing the reports is the fact that
the assassination of Aguinaldo seems
probable after the killing of Luna.
It was reported today that a pitched
battle had taken place between two
Filipino factions north of San Fernan
do. The report hae not been confirmed
and Geneo-al Otis doe not believe it.
Gales' three dismounted troops of the
Fourth ravalrv have been sent in a
casco to cruise on the lake, the boat
being towed by the army gunboat
Napidan. The expedition will strike
wherever it is possible to do damage.
MORE DETAILS OF THE FIGHTING.
Manila, Tuesday Morning, June 20.
On yesterday occurred the first abso
lutely authenticated instance of mutil
ation of American soldiers by Filipinos.
Two privates of the Fourth infantry,
who were wounded during the recon-
noissance toward Jerez Das Marianas,
and were left temporarily by the road
side owing to lack of transportation
facilities, later were found dead with
their right ears severed, the throat of
one cut and the face of the othsr
slashed. Ambulances are constantly
a centre for the enemy's fire. One
wounded man was shot again while his
wound was being dressed.
Bubb's battalion in fighting its way
back to Imus from Perez Das Marianas
yesterday narrowly escaped disaster,
reinforcements arriving just as the
ammunition was exhausted. As soon
as the reinforcements arrived the In
surgents were chased back to Perez
Das Marianas. The Fourth Infantry
is bivouacked near the town prepara
tory to attacking this morning
General Wheaton reports ninety-
three dead "Filipinos, including two of
ficers, found-on the only portion of the
field that has been searched.
The -artillery, under the direction of
Captain Cabeled, did splendidly ef
fective work, the guns raking the en
emy's rigjit flank. It; is generally be
lieved that two thousand rebels were
advancing to attack the American
forces at Imus when Bubb -encounter
ed them. , Among the prisoners taken
is a Japanese half caste; who is pay
master of the insurgent army.

ARTICLES SIGfEi?
FOR THE MATCH
Brady and O'Rourke Met
Last Night and Comply
ted Arrangements.
New York; Jurw 19. Artic's 3f
agreement for the tight between JejfV
fries and Sharkey were drawn up and
signed tonight at a protracted confer
ence between Bradr and O'Rourke at
the- Manhattan theatre. A crowd, of
sporting men was present. O'Hourke
informed those in attendance that he
had not received word from Sharkey
since he went west, but he had no
doubt that Sharkey would abide by
everything said and done. Brady at
the opening of the conference said the
only thing left unsettled at the last
conference was the referee, the wearing
of bandages on Sharkey's hands and
the eize of the ring. Siler was agreed
upon as referee and Brady conceded
the privilege of allowing- Sharkey to
wear bandages. It was also agreed
that the men could' fight with arm free
when clinched, each to protect him
self on the breakaway; that the fight
will be limited to twenty-live rounds;
that five-ounce gloves will be used;
that it will take place before the club
offering the largest purse; the men to
fight at catch weights, in a twenty-
foot ring under Marquis of Queen-sberry
rules; that Al Smith will be stakehold
er. Brady and O'Rourke both depos
ited $2,500 to bind the contract. Brady
insisted on inserting a clause that
neither man will be eligible if defeated
previous to match, because O'Rourke
thought it would be likely that he
would be able to arrange a match be
tween Sharkey and Fitzsimmons be
fore October.
Brady said after the meeting that he
had arranged with a representative of
Charley Mitchell, for a fight between
Jeffries and Mitchell, to take place in
England August 15. Brady reserves
the right of having an American ref
eree. If this doesn't suit Mitchell, he
says, Jeffries will meet Jim Mace,
who challenged Jeffries recently.

CANTEEN IS
NECESSARY
Army Officers Unanimously
in Favor 'of Them in
Camps.
Washington, Jun 19. The war de
partment will tomorrow make public
the reph'ea from the officers of the
army in response to the circular from
Secretary Alger calling for reports up
on the effects of the post "canteen" in
the army. There are nearly six hun
dred expressions of opinion. They are
almost unanimous that the canteen is
a necessary Institution. General An
derson, now commanding the depart
ment ot the lakes, and who command
ed the firsrf OTno?iln 1fn)U
" vfvuiLivu 1.V .UXCLIXIIO.,
strongly endorses the canteen, ge says
court martiafe have been less frequent
since the adoption of the canteen, and
declared that the erantine- nf th
privilege to the men to purchase beer
n the camps minimized drunkenness.
In connection with the circular con
cerning- the canteens the men were also
invited to give their opinions on the
merits and defects of the e-jtehane-e
system. The men have freely re
sponded and their reports will be em
bodied in the report to congress on that
subject. Secretary Alger has decided
not to fig-ht the state authorities of
Pennsylvania 'in regard to the sale of
liquor at Camp Meade, but will remove
the canteen by abolishing the camp ais
soon as possible. This will take from
Harrlsburg the patronage of nearly a
thousand men.

CORPORATIONS HAVE A
RICHTTO BUY AND SELL.
Governor Rogers.of Washington, won't
Co operate With Anti-Trust
Conference.
Austin, June 19. The governor today
received a letter from Governor Rog
ers, of Washington, saying that- it
would be impossible for hhn to attend
the anti-trust conference. He adds:
"With state legislation regarding
trusts I can have no sympathy. I am
bound to believe, too, that legislative
action which seeks to control the for
mation and management of trusts will
prove ineffectual. Clearly it seem to
me that corporations have the right to
buy and sell. I am at a loss to see,
too, how that right can be interfered
with by legal enactment under the .con
stitution. For these reasons I can'see
no remedy for the trust evil save pub
lic ownership."
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania,
writes that he will consider the matter.
The governor of Oregon writes favoring
the conference and will co-operate.
