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. “Killed —Sergeants, Duston L, George, Wm. J. Hall; corporals, H. H. Edwards, John F. J. Hamilton; cook, Burtou E.

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.” Educating the Filipino.

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.
