SLAUGHTERED
Filipino Force At Cutubig Killed
Twenty-Three Americans.
MACARTHUR SENDS IN REPORT
Department Waited Long Time
To Hear Details of the Un
fortunate Disaster.
The officials of the war department,
after waiting for n?arlv a week to hear
something from General MacArthur, at
Manila, confirmatory of the press re
port of the bloody three days’ engage
ment at Catnbig,which resulted in the
heaviest loss of life the American army
has sustained iu any one engagement
in the Philippines, cabled General
MacArthur Tuesday a request for infor
mation. The answer was received Wed
nesday confirming the press reports
and adding some interesting details.
General MacArthur transmitted a re
port from Henry T. Alien, a major of
the Forty-third volunteers, who com
mauded the United Htates forces ou
the island of Samar.
It appears that this force was divided
among several ports ou Samar, aud
while details are still lacking, it is be
lieved that this particular force, which
was besieged at Catubig, was com
manded, not by a command officer,
but by a sergeant, either George or
Hall, both of whom were killec.
Catubig, where the engagement oc
curred, is a seaport town of nearly 10-
000 inhabitants. General McArthur’s
cable message is as follows:
“Manila, May IG.—With reference
to your telegram of the 34th, the ru
mored engagement iu Samar reported
in cablegram of General Otis, May
4th, has been confirmed by reports re
ceived from Henry T. Allen, Forty
third regiment, U. S. V., commanding
Samar island.
"A detachmeut of thirty-live men
stationed at Catubig were attacked
April 15th by 600 men with 200 rifles
and one cannon. Our men were quar
tered in a convent, which was tired
next day by burning hemp thrown
from an adjoining church. The de
tachment attempted to escape by the
river. Men getting into boat were
killed; remaining men eutrenched
themselves and held out two days
longer, facing most adverse circum
stances, until rescused by Lieutenant
Sweeney and ten men. Over 200 in
the attacking party (mauy of them are
reported as having come from Luzon
island) are reported killed and many
wounded. Lieutenant Sweeney re
ports street covered with dead insur
gents.

GOV. SMITH DISGRUNTLED.
Says Act of Lieutenant Gevernor In Ap
pointing Clark Is a I>l*graee.
Clov. Robert G. Smith, of Montana,
arrived in Ogden, Utah, Wednesday,
enroute from the coast to Helena.
Relative to the appointment of Senator
Clark to the United State senate by
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs, he spoke
in very vigorous terms of what he
termed “contemptible trickery.” He
“It is a disgrace, shame and hu
miliation upon the people of Montana
and the senate should not act upon the
resolutions and show Clark that they
do not want him there, as he can take
the hint in no other way.”

THOMPSON MAKES CONFESSION.
Postmaster at Havana. Cuba, Says He
Took Government Money.
According to advices from Havana,
Cuba, Postmaster E. P. Thompson, of
the local office, has signed a sworn
statement in which he says that Sep
temlier 16 last, being iu need of mouey,
hv took from the money order funds
8435, giving his memorandum as a re
ceipt for the same. When the inspector
held an examination a clerk in the
money order department placed re
mittances received that day which
would not have to be accounted for
until tho following day sufficient to
cover the amount of his receipt which
was therewith withdrawn until after
the inspection.
This was kept up until April 27,
when the special agents unexpectedly
discovered the receipt which Mr.
Thompson then paid. He also admits
that Charles F. Neely, late financial
agent of posts at Havana, indorsed a
bill for 8650, which Thompson had
discounted by the North American
Trust company. Thompson admits
other irregularities in connection with
his department.
A Washington special says: The
confession of Thompson came as a
complete surprise to the officials of the
postoffice department. Tho postmas
ter general read the printed statement,
bnt made no comment.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow received his fiual instruc
tion? Wednesday and left at 3 o’clock
for Tampa, where he will sail for Ha
vana.
The three additional inspectors de
tailed for duty in Havana are; F. M.
Hamilton, of New Orleaus division; J.
R. Harrison, of the St. Louis division
aud W. R. Keys, Chattanooga divi
sion.
Representative Hay of Virginia in
troduced a resolution in the house
Wednesday, requesting the postmas
ter general for information as to wheth
er Director Rathbone had reported
that the accounts of postal officials in
Cuba were found to be correct on April
23. The postmaster general would make
no statement in regard to the subject.
It is asserted by lawyers that on Mr.
•Thompson’s own statement he is liable
to arrest for embezzlement according
to the provisions of the postal laws,
~ hich are very explicit. Much sym
pathy is expressed for him, however,
as it is felt that nothing would ever
have been heard regarding the action
to which he has confessed had not the
present investigation growing out of
the general postal frauds brought the
matter to light.
NEELY’S ‘•RAPID RISE.”
Defaulting Fiscal Agent For Culm Fur
nishes Interesting Record.
The authorities at Washington are
coming into possession of new facts
concerning Neely. He entered the
service for duty in Porto Rico as an
ordinary SI,BOO clerk. His appoint
ment was made from Washington, but
how he happened to be Beized upon
for fiscal agent in Cuba, for treasurer
of the department of posts at increased
emolument and intrusted with the
handling of hundreds of thousands of
dollars is another story that is not so
clear. When he left Muucie, lud.,
he was practically without means. He
made oath in 1898 that his worldly
possessions amounted to $175, but
once transferred to Cuba he became
a man of large affairs. His govern
ment position was a mere incident.
There was capital behind Neely.
Chiefly he was engaged in erecting a
brick plant, in forming a cocoanut
trust and in entering into a contract
with the city of Havana for paviug
miles of streets. This contract, sign
ed, is now in existence. Neely ex
pected to manufacture brick at $4 a
thousand. He was to get sl9 a thou
sand in his paving contract.
The Neely Printing Company at
Muncie meanwhile was keeping its
presses running, turning out postal
blanks for Cuba. So successful was
Neely that his services were in addi
tional demand. He boasted of big of
fers made him by capitalists to manage
The government has
seized most of Neely’s property hold
ings and will not, it is understood,
give up the $20,000 cash bailr-two tan
thousand dollar gold certificates—
which he admits are his own, trans
ferred, from Muncie to New York.
To Fight Paper Trust,.
A Berlin dispatch says: Owing to
the creation of the printing paper syn
dicate, the German publishers have
agreed to erect paper mills themselves.
