appointment of a committee to present a

offered In the Georgia Legislature this

of the North Carolina bill and will eon-

Major
Thirty Third Infantry In Battle
-' John A. Logan Is Killed.
Masila, Nov. 14. Tbe Thirty-third
Infantry, in one of the sharpest engage
ments of the war, with an equal force of
Filipinos, five miles from Ssn Fabian
last Saturday lost one officer and six
men killed and one officer and 13 men
wounded. News of the fight has just
been received here. -
The Americans captured 20 Filipinos
and 100 rifles. : They found 81 Filipinos
dead in the trenches and rice fields. It Is
probable msuy more Fillpiuoe were
killed or wonnded.
The regiment deployed under fire
with Major John A. Logan's battalion in
the center, Major Cronlc's on the right
and Major Marsh's on the left. Tbe
skirmish line, which was a mile long,
advanced rapidly, keeping up a constant
fire. Major Logan was shot dead while
leading his msn.
A proclamation of the Filipino Secre
tary of War was found in all the villa
ges, giving glowing accounts of alleged
Filipino victories, saying that 7,600
Americans had1een killed and 15,000
wounded during the war.
Colonel Weasels, of the Third Cavalry,
while near San Nicholas captured a Fill
pino ox train loaded with records of
Aguloaldo's War Department and the
press and outfit of the newspaper Inde-
pendencla. The natives are supposed to
have retreated toward Dagupau
Many natives seem to welcome the
army enthusiastically, but some, who
have heard stories of American cruelties,
h de in the swamrs. Women who are
unable to flee fall upon their knees, up
holding cru' lilies an-i; begging to be
spared. When tbe news spreads that
the Americana Intend to remain and es
tablUh order tbo population flock to
their homos, bringing with them theii
o title and household goods.

LTTTLE NEWS.
nothing of Consequence Allowed to be
Known From South Africa.; "
Loudon, Nov. .15 The fact that news
from South" Africa Is so persistently
withheld Is taken here to mean that
big move Is maturing. ;.
: If Lady smith had been captured, the
news would hsve come at once, by, way
of Pretoria, of so great a Boer success.
The plice, however, Is probably In no
Immediate danger. On November 10
was still being bombarded, but "without
serious effect," at tbe censored dlspstclT
es say.
The only great danger to General
Whlto'i position woulj arise'from a de
termined assault pressed homo by a dla
clpllned body of men trained In tbe nae
of the bayonat. General Joubert may
be forced to try an attack of this sort.
If so, the rosult, It la s-tld here, may be
considered a foregone conclunlon so long
as the defenders have adequate sloras of
ammunition, but It Is unlikely that the
Boers will attempt an aouult on a forti
fied camp. In the absence of a Btnn;jle

Government Reports Shows That the Cot-
. ton Crop Was Short. . Atlanta
Constitution Figures.
Washington, November 14 The sta
tistician of the Department of Agricul
ture, in a report sent to the press today,
says the fact that tbe preliminary official
estimate of tho cotton crops several
times has turned out to be an underesti
mate, has been due in every instance to
a failure to keep pace with the rapid ex
pension of tbe productive area. When,
therefore, the very large crop of last
year made it manifest that the acreage
had increased Deyond both official and
almost all commercial estimates, it was
determined to Institute a special and
very thorough Investigation lato.lhe
entire crop situation this year.
The productive area last year Is found
to have been 35,000,000 acree, and tbat
for the present year is found to be about
33,500,000 acres, with a probability that
the final returns will show the present
acreage to have been below, rather than
above the amount stated. The invesliga
lion discloses one of the smallest average
yields per acre in many years, and in
estimating tbo total crop at a maximum
of 0,500,000 bales, a substantial and most
ample allowance has been made for any
tendency to take a loo pessimistic view
of the situation, the actual indications at
the present moment pointing to a crop
of less than U,O00,OJO bales.
The report further says: ''In his ca
pacity as cotton expert lo the United
Slates commission, (he statistician has
bad in charge tho preparation of tbe
United Stales cotton exhibit for the
Paris Exposition aud bis duties in that
connection have afforded him additional
facilities for ascertaining the actual con
Jitlonoflhe crop in every part of tbe
country. The unimpeachable evidence
that has come to him in that capacity is
in every way confirmatory -of the most
unfavorable official reports "
Atlanta, November 14. The coustitu
tlon, which has all the season been advo
eating higher prices for cotton, will pul-
lisii two estimates of tbe crop from
prominent men In the cotton growing
States. Arkansas and Alabama place
the estimates at 8,00,000 bales; Tennes
sea places the figures at 8,800,000; Missis
slppi at 8,750,000, whld Texas and Sonth
Carolina give their estimates at 8,000,000
each. North Carolina and Louisiana do
not give any figures, but say the crop
will be very much reduced.
