Manila, Jane 20.—Wheaton bivou-
acked on the field last night,and early
this morning advanced on the rebel
stronghold, Perez daa Marinaa, near
which place yesterday the insurgents
In force were so gallantly resisted by
a small recopnoiteriug party under
Major Bubb. Wbeaton's advance was
contested by the rebels, but after a
moderately heavy firing the Americans
occupied Perez das marinas. After
occupying the town Wheaton exam-
ined its sanitary conditions, which he
decided wer« so bad as to make It dan*
gerous to garrison tbe place.
The forces under Wneaton will push
on to Buena Vista, which is supposed
to be the site of the rebel powder
mill.
The rebels mutilated the American
dead yesterday. The bodies of two
soldiers of the Fourth infantry who
fell in the running fight back of lmus
were left behind by their comrades,
and they were found today with ears
cut off, throats cut and slashes across
the face. _

Mis Views on Trust.
St. Louis, June 19—A special to the Pe-
public from Austin, Texas, says-
Governor Say res today received a iet* r
from Governor Rogers of Washington,
declining to attend the anti-trust conven
tion at St. Louis. He says:
"In reply to your invitation alio v me
'to say that it will be Impossible for me
to attend. It has occurred to me In this
connection that many people are advo-
cating state control of trusts with jruir.-
ceriy, thinking in this way to pass
through the next national campaign with
safety to themselves, feeling sure .ha*,
whatever state legislation may be enabl-
ed which wll really surb the power of
trusts will eventually be Jecu.ej uncon-
stitutional by th United Stat** supreme
court. With those who thus and for that
purpose advocate state legislation reg&'d-
ing trusts I can have no sympathy, and
j am bound to believe ,too that legisla-
tive action which seeks to control '.he
formation and management of trusts will
.prove ineffecual.
"In the first place, the word, "trust* is
misleading when aplled to a great many
industrial combinations now threatening
the prosperity of the people. In many n-
atances so-called trusts are mere'y larg-
er corporations.
"It has occurred to me that corpora-
tions will be declared to po-ssse a vest-
ed and a constitutional right to buy and
sell. Clearly It seems to me, corporations
as well as natural persons, have a right
to buy and hence a right to sell whatever
is ofTered for sale In the market. If a
sufficient weight of capital be employed
a. corporation or a natural person has the
constitutional right to buy off or a car-
tain product ofTered for sale and this
will unquestionably operate to fix the
price at which such product will in fu-
ture be sold. We can see as In the case
of that parent of trusts, the Standard Oil
company ,the power to buy and ^ell pos;
sessed by that company, Is entire'y suf-
ficient to regulate the prices at which
oil will be sold. The Standard Oil com-
pany thus gets the power to drlvo out cf
business all competitors and In this way
to establish the price for which their pro-
duct must be sold.
"I am at a loss to see, too, how the
.natural and fundamental rights of either
natural or corporate persons to buy and
sell can be interfered with by legal en-
actment under our cortstltutlon. For this
reason I can see no remedy for the trust
.evil save public ownership. This new
•question of the trusts Is really the very
old one of capital versus labor, or. stated
differently ,the attempt of the almighty
dollar to acquire entire supremacy In the
affair;; of men. There Is In all this an Ir-
repressible conflict whlcn will not down
•at the bidding of any state legislature
In addLton to this letter, the Governor
received brief letters from the governors
tof Oregon and Pennsylvania endors ng
Hhe anti-trust convention and promising

Later General Wood talked about Cuban
affairs. He said:
"Everything Is quiet in Santiago pro-

course there are a few agitators, men who
want control, whose ambitions have not
been gratified but they do not amount to
anything. The condition of the Island is
improving dally. The houses are being
rebuilt and a large number of the people
are at work in the fields.
"Prior to my departure I made a visit
to every town of any size in the province

to have their schools rebuilt and they
seem anxious that the younger element

General Wood said that there was no
feeling in Cuba about the disposal of the
revenue.
General Wood left New York and Wash.

Natal Officers Fighting tbe Non-
tinero Battle Over Again.
Washington, June 19.—'The occurrences
on the bridge of the Brooklyn during the
battle of July 8rd having been the subject
of a controversy In the newspapers .the
navy department recently undertook an
Investigation of the various allegations.
Llentenant Commander Hodgson and Lieu
tenant Commander Heilner, who have ng-
ured In the controversy wers both called
on for explanations of the utterances at-
tributed to them, and the former was di-
rected to report for examination on this
point to Captain Chadwlck at Boston.The
department has now given out for publi-
cation Capt. Chad wicks report on the mat.
It is not yet determined whether
or not the answer of Lieutenant Com-
mander Heilner will be made public at
this time.
Capt. Chadwlcks report Is as follow!
U. S 8. New York, Boston, Mass June
1889
Sir:—In obedience to your order of the
12th inst. I have to report the following
as the statement by Lieutenant Com-
mander Hodgson of the conversation be-
tween Rear Admiral Schley and himself
during the action of July 8, 1898.
'He states as follows:
'As we were approaching the Spanish
ships, I heard Admiral Schley say 'Port
or starboard' several times to Captain
Cook in the conning tower, the admiral
being on the platform surrounding the
conning tower. I had been on the bridge
above and was just coming down to re-
port the position of the ships when I heard
the admiral say 'Hard a port.' The Maria
Teresa was then hauling abaft our port
beam. The Brooklyn was heading about
northeast. I told the admiral, or at least
suggested to him, that the Texas was very
close on our starboard hand and that
turning to starboard would bring us close
her. I don't know that I used the word
'collision*. I did not say 'you mean star-
board.' I Intended him to ask to under-
stand there was danger of running Into
the Texas. He said 'AH right", or words
that effect—I cannot repeat verbat'ii.
When I knew he was going to turn to star
ooara, i suggestea oacKing tne star-
board engine In order to make a smaller
circle and give the Texas a wider berth,
but he decided again that &sdecreasing
the speed of the turn. He did not say that
know of. 4 We are near encugh to them
(the Spaniards )already.' The only thing
gathered from what he said was that If
we turned to port we should get so close
that we should expose ourselves to torpe-
do attack. I supposed he meant torpedo
boats and replied to him that I had jjot
seen them.
"Lieutenant Commander Hodgson states
that he did not Intend to convey in his
note of denlsl sent at the request of Ad-
miral Schley and published In the Wash-
ington Post, the idea that no such col*
loquy took place.
He states, regarding this, as follows:
Admiral Schley wrote me enclosing an
editorial from a New York paper of June
asking me to write a denial of what he
phrased 'an official repeated calumny, He
said he had no recollection of any such
conversation. I wrote a lengthy letter of
explanation giving my recollentlon of the
conversation as nearly as possible. 'Ad-
miral Schley wrote me, saying: 'There is
much In your letter which I should not
like to use. a9 It would provoke assault
upon you, which I would not like to hap-
pen. What I want to show Is that the
dialogue did not occur.'
I then wrote a denial of the colloquy,
certainly not Intending that no such collo-
quy occurred, but that It did not occur
as* printed. At the same time I sent with
this an explanatory letter explaining to
Admiral Schley that the letter of denial
was a denial of the dialogue as it appear-
ed In print and that I had told the cor-
respondent of the paper that the sub-
stance of the conversation was correct.
In writing the letter I wished to refute
the fact of any controversy existing at a
critical stage of the battle. It, the letter,
was a denial of the words as they stood
In the published article, a denial of their
literal correstness and not a denial of the
substantial correctness of the statement.
"A copy of the letter has not been re-
tained by him; he had a rough draft
which has been mislaid. Lieut. Com-
mander Hodgson appends his signature
as a voucher for the accuracy with which
the foregoing Is given ,
Very respectfully,
F. E. CHADWICK.
Capt. U S. Navy
A. F. HODGSON, Commandar, U S N.,
to the secretary of the navy."

Plans of the Boers to
l)o np England.
London, June 19-The St. James Qa
zette this afternoon claims to have re-
ceived from an absolutely reliable source
at Pretoria, capital of the Transvaal, the
plan of campaign which will be followed
by General Joubert, commander In chief
of the Boerse, In the event of war be-
tween the Transvaal and Great Britain.
General Joubert's force, It appears, will
consist of 20.000 men armed with Mauser
rifles, in addition to forty-six rapid firing
guns and 1,000 artillerymen, most of them
drawn from the German and Dutch arm-
ies. With these troops and help expected
from the Orange Free States Joubert ex-
pects to take the offensivfe immediately
after the declaration of war, enter the
Orange Free States and march on Kim-
berley, the British diamond mining cen-
ter in West Grlqualand which forms four
of the seventy divisions of Cape Colony
Klmberley is about 100 miles northwest
of Bloemfonteln. In his march on Klm-
berley, Joubert will use the railroad as
far as available, expects to capture the
town with slight loss and blow up the
Debeers diamond mine. Simultaneous, it
Is added, the road from Caps Town to
Bulawayo will be £pstroyed by Boer sym
pathlzers and agents in Cape Colony, wno
will destroy the port Elisabeth-Pretoria
lines south of Blontenlen to prevent Bri-
tish troops from using it
Finally, immediately after Klmberley
Is captured General Joubert will advance
on Cape Town, the capital of Cape Colony
through the western provinces, where the
Dutch predominate and are expected to
join the Boers. Joubert calculates that
he will be master of Caps Town a fort-
night after the declaration of war and
that he will then be able to dictate terms
of peace.

The Clyde Mattox Patdon
Was Unconditional.
Fonca City, June 19—(Special)-The
Courier has the following:
The pardon of Clyde Mattox has gener-
ally been considered to have been upon
conditions which would remand him to
prison should he violate them. This Is 'he
story of the pardon still going the rounds
of the press, and Is being talked of by
the public. Mattox successful and easy
escape from the Kay county officers in
midday and through public thoroughfaves
has prompted this talk with a query as
to the steps to recapture him, which
would be taken by the United States.
The assumption that he pardon was coi
dllonal however, was wholly unwarranted
by the facts in the case. The pardon vis
unconditional and reads as follows:
To all whom these presents shall come,
greeting:
"Whereas, Clyde Mattox In the United
States District Court for the IMstrlct of
Kansas, was Indicted for murder, pleaded
not guilty, was tried convicted, and on
January 26, 1894, sentenced to be hanged
on March 23, 1894, and
"Whereas an appeal was taken to the
Supureme Court of the United States,
where the Judgment of the lower cou't
was affirmed and the defendant os June
26, 1896 resentenced to be hanged on Oc-
tober 11, 1896, and
Whereas, on September 29, 1896, sen-
tence of death was commuted for life by
the president of the United State*; and
"Whereas, It has been made to appear
tha; the said Clyde Mattox Is a fit ob-
Jeot of executive clemency.
"Now, therefore, I, William McKlnley,
president of the United States of Amer-
ica, In consideration of the premises, div-
ers other good and sufficient reasons me
thereunto moving, do hereby grant unto
the said Clyde Mattox, a full and uncon*
dit'onal pardon.
In testimony whereof, I have here-
unto signed my name and caused th<
great seal of the department of Justice

scattered their forces. The battalion
encountered the enemy's forces march-

two guns and two battalions hurried
forward and repulsed the enemy with
heavy loss, tbe enemy leaving over 100

needed by the committee in the education-
al work of preparing for the great presi-
dential campaign of ISOO.
The national committee went through

to raise It in small subscriptions all over
the country.
The corporate wealth of tho country was
In 1896, and will be in 1900 arraying upon
the republican side. Indeed, the phenom-
enal growth of great trusts during the last
two years Insures to the republicans a
larger campaign fund than ever. This
fund can be silently and suddenly raised.
Not so, however, with a democratic cam-
paign fund. If raised at all It must be
procured at great effort, In small sums
from many contributors. This will take
time. A beginning must be made early
and the laborous work of raising a fund

St. Louis, June 19.—Col. R M. White,
editor of the Mexico Ledger, came to
town unexpectedly last night from
Paris, France. Col. White passed
through the city not long ago on his
way to Europe, seeking a well earned
rest after twenty years of almost un-
interrupted editorial toil. He told his
friends that he was going to Antwerp,
from which city he proposed to take a
leisurely jaunt over the continent. He
had nodefluite plans, although it was
his intention to devote the early por-
tion of his outing in London and Paris.
When he got to Antwerp he learned
that the Lesuer fsmily of this state
had a home in Paris, go he set out for
France without stopping for an iustant
in the port of entry. After a day in
Paris be became enamored of the place.
He took an apartment and announced
that he proposed to give a dinner in
order to make the acquaintance of the
members of the American colony. He
sent out invitations and in 24 hours
nearly every American in Paris knew
that Col. White was in town. The
affair was a distinct success. Just as
the host was saying got d night to his
friends a cable message arrived from
Portland, Ore., announcing that It was
highly desirable for Col. White to be
present at the national editorial con
ventlon, which is to be held in that
city within a fortnight. His guests
laughed at the idea, but Col. White
looked serious.
"I reckon I'll go." he said, with a
Yankee drawl that made all the Amer-
icans homesick "Say. Garcon," he
called to his new servant, "see when
the next train leaves for Antwerp I
think IM be able to catch the boat 1
came over on The captain is a good
fellow and I'd like to go back with
him."
His friends expostulated, but i'. was
in vain. Then, when they saw that he
was in earnest, they assisted him to
get his luggage together. A fe^ hours
later he was on board ship at Antwerp,
to the surprise of the captain.who was
all but ready to sail.
" I'll tell you," said Col. White last
night, 41 that town of Paris is a daisy.
It beats anything 1 tv«r saw. The
Americans there are happy, and all of
them are learning to be great musi-
cians or masters in art. And say, they
talk about the Standard theater in St.
Louis ! Well, all I've got to say Is that
it's not in it with the Moulin Itouge.
Do I speak French ? Well, I can say
'Wee, raunseer,' on a pinch."

St. Louis, June 19—Col, W. J. Bryan in
a letter declining an Invitation to attend

ments says:
"All races have exhibited mjro or Ie«s
■ot race pride and attachment, but none
have shown themselves more devotei
than the Irish to the land of their birth
and the people of their blood. Our nation
can learn from the Irish people a lesson
of great importance just at tnis time
namely:
That one race cannot govern another
race except by force; nor can it govern
without exciting the continued enmity of
the governed. Ireland has long been de-
nied the r'ght of self government, but
the desire for self government has In-
creased, rather than diminished with the
lapse of years."
