They swarmed the streets in small parties, some bearing scaling ladders by means of which they attempted to enter the houses. The Americans tumbled out of the barracks and formed in the plaza and companies began sweeping the town. The subsequent street fighting lasted twenty minutes. Twelve of the wounded Americans are now on board the hospital ship Relief. The enemy withdrew to the mountains in great confusion. I nsnrxent Lender Surrendered. General Montenegro, one of the in surgents' best fighters, has surrendered to Colonel Smith in the mountains near Camaling, in the province of Pangasinan, where, with General Macabulos, he had been trying to re organize the Filipino army. Colonel Smith, with five companies of the Seventeenth regiment, nearly sur rounded the force of Montenegro, who, discouraged by the impossibility of ' making his men stand against the Americans, surrendered. Macabulos escaped. The insurgents have attacked San Jose, in the province of Batangas and Santa Cruz, on the lake, fruitlessly. REORGANIZED S. A. L. CO.

For more than three hours to-day Mr. Hoar, the senior Senator from Massachusetts, occupied the attention of the Senate with a speech in opposition to the policy of "imperialism." upon which, he maintained, this government has embarked. A prepared the address was fifty thousand words in lengtn, but Senator Hoar omitted much of it, owing to an incipient attack of the grippe he was suffering with. The speech was brilliantly written, was illuminated with splendid rhetorical figures, and was rich with citations from history. One of the notable parts of the address was the eulogy of Aguinaldo. Senator Hoar did not liken the insurgent leader to Washing ton as hss been done heretofore, but to Kossuth, Oom Paul, Joubert, Na than Hale and other builders of the church of liberty. In state craft he likened Aguinaldo and ms associates in the leadership of the Filipinos to the best minds ever produced in. the Asiatic race, a race which handed down to us the scriptures of the old and new testaments, the poetry, of David, the "eloquence of Isaiah, the wis dom of Solomon and the profound philosophy of PauL . One of the most effective parts of the address was his fancied roll-call of some of the distinguished statesmen of the United 8tates on the question of the retention of the Philippines. He began with George Washington and closed with William McKinley, each in a sentence giving the reason ,im wnin v.-rMirv -mtn was in the nesr- ative, except that of Aaron Burr, who voted ,tyes" and. explained "You're repeating my bucaneering expedition down the Mississippi. I am to be Tindicated at last." When the name of William McKinley was called, he replied: "There has been a cloud before my - mom Ant hut I see clearlv TU1UU. v. w p ... - now; I go back to what I said two years ago: Forcible annexation is criminal aggression; governments de rive their just powers from the con sent of the governed, not of some of them, but of all of them. I will stand with the! .fathers of the Republic. I will stand with the founders of the Republican party. No." The effect was dramatic. As Sena- n. TTna nmiinnnMi) his rjeroratlOn the still in the chamber was intense. Applause swept over the galleries, but it was hushed quickly by the president pro tempore. 4U Senator tioar iook as mi w tu Beveridge resolution declaring the Philippines United States territory. He cited the glory of the war with Spain, the prosperity of the American Sople at its close, eulogized President cKinley's course at that time, charac terizing him as the best beloved Presi dent who ever sat in the chair of Washington. He begged the lie publi can party not to recede from its princi ples, and said, "if when we made the peace treaty we had adhered to the purpose we declared when we declared war; if we had dealt with the Philippine islands as we promised to deal have dealt and expect to deal with Cuba, the country would have escaped the loss of 6,000 brave soldiers, other thousands of wrecked and shattered lives, the sickness of many, the expenditure of hundreds of millions and what is far worse than all the trampling under foot of its cherish ed ideals. "I don't expect to accomplish any thing for liberty in the Philippines islands but through the Republican party. Upon it the fate of these islands for two years to come is to de pend. " I cannot look with any favor upon Mr. Bryan as an alternative. "I believe not only that perseverance in-the present policy will be the aban- our government is founded, that it 1 At will cnange our repuDuc into an em pire, that our methods of legislation, of diplomacy, and administration must hereafter belong to empires and are not those which belong to republics; but I believe persistence in this at tempt will result in the defeat and overthrow of the Republican party." As to what he would do with the Philippines, Mr. Hoar said: "Declare now that we will not take these islands to govern them against their wilL Reject a cession of sover eignty which implies that sovereignty may be bought and sold and delivered without the consent of the peopled "Require all foreign governments to keep out of these islands. "Offer the Filipinos our help in maintaining order until they have a reasonable opportunity to establish a government of their own. "Aid them by advice, if they desire it, to set up a free and independent government. "Invite all the great . powers of Europe to unite in an agreement that independence shall not be interfered with. "Declare that the United States will Antrim. tht .am a Anntrinm ail ann1ic.fi.hlA to the Philippines that we declared as to Mexico and Hayti. and the South American republics. "Then, in a not distant future, leave them to work out their own salvation, as every nation on earth, from the be ginning of time, has wrought out its own salvation." - A resolution offered by Senator Till man, of South Carolina, was agreed to. It directs the Secretary of . the Treasury to adjust the accounts be tween the United States and South Carolina and report what amount will be due the State of South Carolina, on June 30th, 1900. the Alaskan Civil .Code bill, but no conclusion was reached at 4.45 P.

Kentucky, asked if there was not a lobby here o defet the proposition to build ships in gov ernment yards. i . "I hare never heard of such a lob by, replied Mr. Dayton. : "The only lobby I hare neen was the lobby of naval constructors, n u couiu w ed a lobby, arguing In tavor of the proposition I oppose." ' . -One of the strong reasons urged by Mr. Dayton againsV the Government embarking in the -manufacture of armor was the possibility that in a few v. knia Mhmi of defend i d er Ships might change. Already anaval expert had suggested compressed cot ton as a substitute for armor. Mr. Elliott, South Carolina, made au extended argument in favor of com pleliog the inland waterway along the Atlantic coast, both for defence and as an artery of commerce in time of war. Mr. Rixey, Virginia, criticised the extravagance in the bilL , He favored the consolidation of some of the bu reaus. He also advocated government built and governmnt-made armor and ships. , Mr. Wheeler, Kentucky, of the Commerce Committee, criticised se verely the rule of the House which prohibited members from making pub ficon the floor what was done and said behind committee doors, and declared himself in favor of compelling com mittees to open the doors to the press. The most vicious legislation washatch-xMi-nA Ainojul i7vnR He also OD- posed, he said, the appointment of men with special interests to serve on com mittees. Their desire to serve their constituents, he said,, outweighed their duty to their country.

Freight was moved in sections of fast time trains. All wires east of Ashe ville are cut between here and Old Fort, thirty miles distant The West ern Union authorities believe the cut ting is due to striking operators and their sympathizers at Terrels, the sta tion on the Blue Ridge, and at Old Fort. There has been considerable wire cutting near Marshall, in Madi son county, but all wires In that di rection are now working.

FLOOD IN ALABAMA. By Cable to the Homina Btar. London, April 18, 4 i A M. The government has chosen this as the mo ment to publish a dispatch from Lord Roberts pronouncing censure upon Sir Red vers Buller and Sir Charles Warren, two of his-most important subordinate commanders. This dis patch, written Feb. 13. has been the hands of the War Office for five weeks. Just why it is published now in .the middle of the campaign it is not known, unless it is expected that Gen. TN.iToo onr? Ocn Warren will ask to be relieved of their commands. The revelation of their incapacity must tend to undermine the connaence oi the troops in their leadership. London, April 17. At last Lord Roberts seems to be on the eve of mak ing his- main advance towards xrre toria. Unless all the unusually re liable sources of information and all the indications smuggled past the censor are at fault, the British army within a few days will be marching northward. After many premature and un found reports that have purported to tell of this move there is naturally, even in -the best informed quarters, considerable hesitancy in definitely settling upon the day Lord Roberts is likely to leave Bloemfontein, but there is a settled impression that it will occur either at the end of this week or the beginning of next. The long weary wait in the Free State capital has ap- Earently effected a much needed reha ilitation, though it is probable Lord Roberts would still further have de layed his advance had not the Boer activity forced him to put his forces in such positions that to day, unless they quickly proceed northward, the strategic advantage will be lost The critics agree in the supposition that the advance will be made in par allel columns, with a broad front, west of the railroad, the Third and Eighth Hi wisinna wffninir northward to the extreme northwest, the entire force amounting to 75,000 men. Exactly what part General Buller will takeis still a secret which no one is able to probe. ... From the seat of war there is signifi cant silence. From The Hague comes h nAw that the Boer delegates re fuse to make public the object of their mission. They hope to be received by Queen Wilhelmina, but nothing in this direction has yet been decided upon. London, April 17 11:10 P. M. The War Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated Bloemfontein, Tuesday, April 17th: "Our force at Wepener is still sur rounded, but it is, reported that the anam v bm Attacking in a verv half hearted manner and are anxious about their communications, hearing that forces' are approaching Wepener from two directioM one under General Bundle via Reddersburg and another under General Brabant, with General Hart's brigade in support, via Roux ville. .

"Violent storms of rain have some what interfered with the march of these columns, but it is hoped they will soon be able to make their pres ence more decidedly felt "General Settle reports from Een hardt April 14th, that 200 Trans -vaalers made a determined attack the previous day on Dopaspoort- held by a party of Orpon's Horse. Our losses were two killed and one wounded. The enemy's losses must have been heavy as they applied to us for doctors and an ambulance." British Advancing. Maseru, Bastjtoland, April 16. The Boers for two days past have been displaying great activity along the Reddersburg and Rouxville road. Their scouts report that the British are advancing on tnese places to ae re lief of Wepener, and the burghers, consequently are divided whether to remain or retire. A majority of them desire to abandon the investment of Wepener, fearing to be cut off, while the minority, led by Commandant Ol ivier, are reluctant to move as long as there is a chance to capture Colonel Dalgety's garrison. Scouts have just reported rifle firing in the direction of Thabanchu. j Meets TiHiay la Raleigh Will Nominate : a Foil Statn Ticket With Cyroa b : Thompson for Governor. . ;' " .

That Great Britain's attitude towards Afghanistan in connection with Rus sian designs on Herat does not . meet with arDroval at Cabul (the capital of Afghanistan), is proved by " an auto graph letter published with the Ameer's consent, in which after referring to the various rumors he adds: "Now when Afghanistan is over whelmed on all sides, the British gov ernment does not seem to take any in terest, but enjoys the pride of aloof ness and reserve, wnenever x nave suggested a check to Russian aggres sion I have had no response from the . v 1 11 government oi inaia except tne sug gestion that Afghanistan might con sent to the construction of railways and telegraphs.
