2 ARAYAT FIRED BY THE FLYIHG FOE Young Takes it After a Brief Battle. SCHWAN IS RETURNING THE FILIPINO AS A LIGHTNING CHANGE EXPERT. THE ABANDONED TRENCHES REOCCUPIED Gen. Funston Says he Came Back Home Be cause he Was Ordered Here, and that he Would Gladly have Remain ed in the Philippines. Manila. Oct. 12, —0:10. —General Young, with two batthuiioiis of the Twenty-fourth infantry, nine troop** of the Fourth cavalier, anil the scouts of the Tnirty Seventh infantry, loft Santa Ana at 7 o'clock this morning and occu pied Arayat at nine after a skirmish lasting half an hour. The enemy, estimated at 300 retreated toward Magalan. The swampy charac ter of the country prevented the use of cavalry. The men of the Twenty-fourth charged the trenches. The enemy set the town on tire and succeeded in 'buric ing a small section. Five dead and three wounded Filipinos were left on the lield. The Americans had one man wounded. Manila, Oct. 12.-11:20 p. m.—General Sell wan’s expedition having accomplish ed its object, tin* troops are all returning to their former positions, abandoning the towns taken. General Sell wan is enroute from Perez Das Marinas to Imus with the infantry, while the artillery and caval ry and all mule teams are retracing their route from Malabon to Bacoor, with the signal corps removing the wires. General Trias with the organized bodies of insurgents, retreated to Silang and Indaiig. at the base of the mountain. The movement of the Fnited States troops was a fine display of American generalship and energy, while the Fili pinos adopted what General Alejandrino terms "Our peculiar method of war fare.” The whole country is an immense swamp, and the Filipinos never expected that the Americans could or would at tempt to invade it during the wet season. Moreover, the line of march furnished a succession of surprises, the advancing troops l>eing generally attacked from un expected points. In Cavite Province, the scene of the hottest fights and their greatest sueces es over the Spaniards, the Filipinos wight have been expected to make a resolute stand, if anywhere, but after their whippings at Cavite, Viejo and Noveleta, their tactics consisted chiefly in a continous exhibition of their agility and their transformation from warriors to ainigos. The marines, while reconnoitering about the scene of Sunday’s encounter, found that the trenches have already been re-occupied, although the enemy manifested more than their usual will ingness to retreat before the Americans. Armed hands have reappeared' along the shore road between Baeoor and Rosario, 1 and the troops returning by that route expect another fight at Rosario. At Malabon the Americans corralled two or three hundred natives supposed to be fighting men. A few of them were caught with arms in their hands, hut large numbers were found in hiding dressed in khaki, like the American uni form. A majority of them were in the garb of amigos, hut they are suspected of shooting at the troops from houses, a growing habit, which flourished through out the advance whenever small parties of Americans strayed from the main body. The prisoners, with the exception of those caught red handed, will be return ed, as owing to the fact that the insur gents have so many more men than guns the keeping of prisoners is ia> Useless ex pense unless the policy of reeoucentra tion which General Weyler pursued is to lie adopted. In conversation with an Associated Press representative, a leading mer chant of Rosario remarked: “They will all is? engaged in their old business as soon as released.” When asked where the army had gone, the merchant replied: “A majority of them are here. They simply hid their guns when they saw a superior force approaching.” The work of the commissary and quartermaster’s departments directed by Captains Riddle and 11 dr ton, was re markable throughout. The transporta tion of supplies from Rosario to Malabon seemed to be impossible. The wagons had to lx* repeatedly unloaded and re loaded while lieing dragged through the mire. General Schwan is marching hack without the loaded teams, ail baggage J»eing shipped from Baeoor by canoes and the wagons going empty. A telegraph squad under lieutenant Clark* kept the wire abreast of the line to Malabon, hut in order to do this the teams had to be abandoned and the wire carried by Coolies. WHY FUNSTON CAME HOME. San Francisco, Cal.. Oct. 12. General Frederick Funston. talking to a reporter of the Philippine situation today, said: *"\\ itli 50,000 men, if the campaign h pushed, the war will be over in six months, hut of course, it won’t lie ended that soon if the troops are kept in Ma nila. “I came back.” continued. General Funston, ‘‘because I was ordered to. I would have staid very gladly, and wish that I were there.” “I>Ul you awk to stay?” “No,” he contimnd. “I would not do that. I have not asked, nor wall I, hut. if it is thought I can be of any service in the Philippines, I will go hack on very short notice. I take it that the terms of enlistment of the ‘State volunteers hav ing expired, flu* numlltor of volunteer generals is being reduced.” , ROBBERY AT GREENSBORO. Took an Overdose of Carbolic Acid and Lives. Greensboro, N. C., October 12.—(Spe oiaL) —The residence of Mr. Gouldin on Lindsay street, was entered last night by a burglar or burglars and everything portable was taken. Mr. and Mrs. Gouldin were away from home which the affair occurred, and \fhen they returned they found the hack door open and everything in the house turned topsy turvey. Captain B. J. Fisher regards the tak ing up of the street railway on his land as larceny, .He claims that as the street is private property, and he never gave the railway company’s right-of way across his laud, tin* railway is his property. The old railway owners, how ever, say the right-of-way was given by Captain Fisher. At any rate it seems there will be a heavy tight in the courts over the matter. Dr. Webster, a patent medicine ven der. took an overdose of carlsdic acid yesterday, mistaking it for another medicine, but owing to the fact that he took so much it did not effect him to a great extent.

The circular in full is as fol lows: "The bureau report for October 1. 1897, showed a decline in condition of 5.3 points from its Septemlief rejsirt. a nd the September re|Kirt had shown a decline of 8.0 points, compared to August. The decline was attributed to long-continued drought, and yet the crop of 1897-‘9B. to which tbefre melancholy reports referred, exceeded the previous ( ~,,p by 2,450,000 hales, and exceeded tin* largest previous crop (1594-’95) by 1.300.000 bales.

Now a growth of 11,090,000 bales,which I think we may say, is now assured, with the old cotton held in the interior, will mean for the South to sell and the trade to buy more cotton than in any previous yeuP, and for the third year a large addition to the surplus, which at September 1 stood at 3,311.000, against 2,097.000 in 1898, and 4,420,000 in 1897, visible and invisible. “11.
