A SHARP SKIRMISH NEAR NGVAUCHES
Our Troops Greatly Annoyed by the Enemy’s
Sharp-Shooters. The Natives Were Put
to Flight, but the Intense Heat Pre*
vented Immediate Pursuit.

alry and Gale’s squadron, equipped in
light marching order. This force start
ed afa live o’clock this morning over the
Xovaliches road, traversing the country
previously cleared of the rebels, but sub
sequently re-occupied by them. It is
to be presumed that General Lawton by
this movement Avill outflank the enemy
before joining General Mae Arthur north
of Malolos.
The Dakota regiment first encountered
the enemy in front of Nova holms at 8:15
a. m. The rebels opened fire on our
troops, but their fire was silenced fifteen
minutes later, the enemy retiring in bad
order, and the Americans advancing
along the rough roadp about Xovaliches.
They were considerably annoyed by the
fire of ihe rebel sharpshooters from the
jungle for two hours.
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the re
bels were in full flight leaving many dead
on the field and our troops were com
pelled ro take brief rest in the shade as
the heat: was overpowering.
LAWTONS NEW CAMPAIGN.
Washington, April 22.—The War De
partment today received a cablegram
from General Otis announcing the for
mation of a new Hying column under
command of General Lawton and the
initiation of a new campaign, which is
expected to result in clearing out the
jungle in the country north of Manila up
to the foothills of the mountains on the
northeast and up to the termination of
the railroad at Bnlacan. The text of
tile despatch was not made public, but it
is understood to agree closely with the
accounts of tin* movements contained
in the Associated IVcss despatches from
Manila.
GILMORE’S FATE A MYSTERY.
Washington, April 22.—N0 word has
come to the Navy Department since last
Thursday relative to the facts of Lieu
tenant Gilmore and the fourteen sai’ors
of the Yorkto.vn who wve ambushed
and captured at Baler on the Island of
Luzon. Today Secretary Long addressed
an inquiry by cable to Admiral Dewey
to ascertain whether he could supply
any further information on this point.
The Secretary says la* has no doubt the
Admiral is doing \Vhat is best to succor
the men. and it is suggested that he has
refrained from making public bis plans
to prevent the insurgents from taking
advantage of the information to conceal
their captives.
The arrival of the Yorktown at Manila
has not been reported to the Department,
and it is not known whether or not
she sailed from Iloilo, where she re
ported by cable the bad news to Admiral
Dewey, or whether Commander Sperry
put back from Iloilo after having secured
reinforcements.
COGHLAN DISFLEASED THEM.
Flit His High Services* Shield Him from
Captious Criticism.
Washington, April 22.—The German
Ambassador, Dr. Von Holleoen called
mi Secretary Hay tody, which led to re
ports that the attention of the State De
partment had been called to the remarks
"l Captain Coughlini, of the cruiser Ral
eigh. at a New York banquet last night,
atoadt^nh —lib El.Et: ona.r einfwyprdlu
relating to his personal observations of
a rebuke and threat administered by-
Admiral Dewey to the Gorman naval
commander at Manila. It was stated
pusitivejy, however, that no protest or
i DpivsDiit.itions were iiiftilo, jis it is un*
derstood to be the German view that
this is a matter in which the authorities
hero should be left to take the initia
tive.
At the same time Captain Coghlan’*
remarks caused considerable displeasure
in high diplomatic naval quarters, main
ly because they arc contrary to the pol
icy which the two Governments have
adopted of giving as little public expres
sion as possible to the friction which
may have occurred at Manila. Tint in
the present case, owing to Captain
Coglihm’s splendid services, ' they are
not disposed to be captious in their criti
cism of Lis utterances.
*WE WERE READY FOR EM.”
New York. April 22.—The Army ami
Navy Club gave a reception to Captain
Coghlan and the officers of the Fniteit
States cruiser Raleigh at the club house
tonight.
k ' Captain Coghlan made a speech in
The News and Observer.
LEADS ALL NORtN CAROLINA DMUEB 11 lEIB AND CIRCULATION,
which he reiterated what he said before
the Union League Club on Friday night.
He said in part:
‘T feel inclined to say only a few
words this evening because what I said
hist night was taken umbrage at by
some one at Washington who protested
against what I said. What I did say hist
night was true, and what I said I will
say again. (Great applause.) I said it
because I felt it. 1 am certain we all
felt that we were being magged at Ma
nila. We were nearly nagged to death.
There is such a thing as being nagged
too far—and. damn ’em we were ready
for them. I had read a great deal in
the newspapers of what occurred at va
rious places in the Philippines, and I
thought that the newspaper* had no:
placed that grand old man. Admiral
Dewey, in the proper light, and that is
the reason 1 thought: I was justified in
placing him in the proper light.
“My remarks in the papers were
garbled. I will not say they are incor
rect in substance or untrue, but they
Wore distorted and twisted so as to put
a different meaning in them. If anyone
will reason a little they will understand
mir situation. We were a longways from
home a long time. We all showed Ad
miral Dewey that we were with him
thoroughly and heartily. We felt that
we were belittled and nagged until our
patience could stand it no longer.
’’The Admiral was a man who could
stand it a long time. Rut when 1 lit*
moment came he stopped it. and tliey
never moved a hair afterward.”
Stopping a lew minutes and looking
about the auditors. Captain Coghlan
raised his hands and. placing the palms
ol" his hands close together said:
/‘I did think at one time that we were
that close to killing them. (Great ap
plause.) One word, one not would have
done it."
There is no truth in the report that
Vice President Hobart has decided not
to be a candidate for Vice President.
Mr. Hobart has not reached any conclu
sion.
GERMAN HOUSESSHELLED
CHARGES OFHEKR MAFQUARDT AGAINST
THE BRITISH.
Millions of German Properly Destroyed by the
Follcwers of Tanus. Teutors Treated
as Captives.
Berlin. April 22.—The Lokal Anzeiger
today publishes two letters from Samoa,
dated March 23. One of them is from
Herr Marquardt, a prominent German
resident of Apia, who under Tumaseso.
was military instructor and later 'under
Mataafa and the provisional government
was justice of the peace until he re
signed on the' departure of Dr. Raft'd,
the German President of the Munieipal
Government of Apia.
From Herr Marquardt’s letter it ap
pears that it was he, and not IJorr
Hufnagel, who was arrested by Captain
Stanley, commander of the British war
ship Porpoise, for bearing arms against
the British sailors. lie says hi* was
taken on board the Porpoise, where he’
claims he was grossly insulted by Cap
tain Sturdee, and that after fourteen
hours of captiyity, during which no
proof against him was advanced, he was
transferred to the German warship
Falke, but with the condition that he
was not to leave her. Herr Marquardt
asserts that his property was stolen and
destroyed by Malietoa Tanks’ hosts and
that millions of other German property
was likewise destroyed.
The writer then asks who will pay the
damages? / •
Herr Von Wolffersdorff asserts that
the British Consul. Mr. Maxso, and
Captain Sturdee are both guilty of the
grossest misconduct in exceeding their
treaty powers. 11 1* claims they treated
the Germans like captives and continued
an almost incessant shelling of German
houses under various pretexts. He adds
that the most intense indignation pre
vailed among the Samoan Germans
against the British excesses. Otherwise,
llerr Yon Wolffersdorff's reports agree
with the German official reports.

And stretches forth her gracious hands,
To welcome hack from other lands,
Her gallant sons again.
She hears—and oh, the sound is sweet —

The echo of returning feet,
The tread of armed men!
Her hospitable doors stands wide.
From far and near, on every side,
A many-voiced expectant tide f
Breaks on the Jist'ning ear!
And joy dims many si mother’s eye.
And many a glad young heart 1 teats high,
And many a rough hands seeks to dry
The unaccustomed tear.
They come not from across the flood
Where (’hristianf?) sword drinks heathen blood
They only strike as freemen should
For Freedom and the Right!
No. Theirs a nobler mission ! Where
Disorder and oppression were
A stable government to uproar
A nation’s load to light.
So bo it ever. May their swords
Re never drawn at Mammon’s word:
Their only Fear, the Lord of Lords;
And Him their only trust.
May lie, the “(’aptain of their souls,”
Each soldier’s destiny control,
Till cannon, arms and muster roll
Are crumbled into dust!

Columbia. S. (’.. April 22.—A special
to tln* State from Greenville, says:
Not far from the city the wife of
Silas Williams, an industrious white
farmer living on the White Horse Road,
was brutally assaulted between 5 and
0 o'clock this afternoon, by a negr
dressed in uniform, who suddenly ap
peared in the house where Mrs. Williams
j was engaged in ironing. The negro
!seized her and in commiting the assault
lie choked her severely and bruised her
right arm.
The negro vanished at once, and was
afterwards seen on the road to Piedmont
before the alarm was given in the neigh
borhood. Williams had started to town,
and was only a short distance from
home when the assault on his wife was
made. He was quickly informed, and,
after let timing home. In* came galloping

NO CHARGE OF TREASON MADE.
Cabinet's Discussion of a Conspiracy
Absolutely Denied.
Washington. April 22.—A Cabinet offi
cer is authority for an absolute denial
of tlu* story that Ilu* Cabinet yesterday
discussed an alleged conspiracy in this
country to weaken the I'niteJ States
in the Philippines.
Secretary Long in answer to a direct
inquiry, said that the Cabinet had not
been charging any person dr set of per
sons in the United States with treason.
This was as far as he earei to make
any statement.
The probable basis for tin* story is
some exchanges of opinions that have
been taking place not only among Cabi
net officers, but among the close friends
of the Administration ever since the sub
mission of tin* peace treaty to tin* Semit**
for its action, to the general effect that
the delays interposed to speedy action
upon the treaty were harmful. It was
said that great encouragement had been
given to Aguinaldo by the attitude of the
opponents of the President’s policy
among American public men. But this
was nothing more than was said openly
on the floor of the Senate during the
consideration of the treaty.
