Major la flhst Down White Leading a Victorious Charge Upon Rebel In­ trench men ta at Ban Jacinto-Preai- 4aat Conaolea Mother and Widow. • Maj. John A. Logan, namesake son of the "Black Eagle of Illinois," has been killed in battle in the Philippine!. The official announcement of his death came in a dispatch from Gen. Otis Tuesday. The news was a severe shock to his mother, his wife and to a large circle of friends. W'hen the news reached the War De­ partment that Maj. Logan h&d fallen Gen. Corbin selected Maj. Johnson, as­ sistant adjutant general, to carry the message to Mrs. Logan. She was near­ ly prostrated with grief when Maj. John­ son informed her of her son's death, but recovered sufficiently to order her MAJOR JOHN •. LOGAN. carriage and drive to the White House in the hope that she might learn from the President that there was some mistake in the dispatch and that her boy might still live. At the door she broke down completely. An usher supported her to the red parlor. Mrs. McKenna, wife of the associate justice, who was at the White House, hastened to Mrs. Logan and tenderly embraced her. President McKinley left the cabinet meeting when he learned of Mrs. Logan's presence, and with kindly words tried to assuage the grief of the heartbroken mother. Consoled by tbe President. The President sent this telegram to the Bollevea *reae»t Jylniy Force Ta Am* pie for the Qfrrfc*a Ko««$r*d. The annual repact of Maj. Gen. Nalsot) A. Miles, commanding the army, was made voblic at the War Department Tuesday. It is extremely brief and for mal in character. It announces the transmission to the Secretary of War of the reports of the department and staff commanders and makes a brief statement of the strength and distribution of the army, including the muster ont of the volunteer regiments, most of the details of which have Heen already published in the reports of the adjutant general. It has been the practice heretofore to dis­ charge soldiers in Manila, paying them there and giving them free transporta­ tion to the United States on the Govern­ ment transports. This has resulted in several complaints to the Secretary of War about soldiers who have landed in this country without means to get to their homes. Iu transmitting this report to Gen. Otis it is suggested to him that hereafter no more soldiers shall be dis­ charged in Manila, but that when their terms of service expire they shall be sent to San Francisco, where they will get their discharge papers and their pay. The report concludes with the following gen­ eral statement: "As far as organization is concerned the army is in a transition state. It is believed that the force will be ample for the service required of it up to the time authorized--namely, July 1, 1901. It is gratifying to note that the Government has authorized a military force which seems commensurate with its requirements, magnitude and institu­ tions. I have for years recommended the adoption of a standard in proportion to the population--and I believe that the es­ tablishment of such a standard would be safe ahd judicious in every respect."v The annual report of Surgeon General Sternberg of the army has been made public at the War Department. Gen. Sternberg remarks: "The medical corps of the army, which was scarcely ade­ quate before the war with Spain for our army of >25,000 men, is now entirely in­ adequate, and should be increased as soon as is practicable. Many of the commis­ sioned medical officers of the volunteer army, and of the acting assistant sur­ geons, have made rapid progress in ac­ quiring a knowledge of their military du­ ties, and have demonstrated their fit­ ness for the military service. In filling vacancies in the medical corps these gen­ tlemen should, in my opinion, have the preference when they come within the established age limit."" The report says the n amber of deaths from all causes in the regular army was 1,285. Of this number 22 per cent was from disease and 5.55 per cent from injuries. The total number of deaths, including the regulars and volunteers, from May 1, 1898, to June 30, 1899, is given as 6,619, sf fAt/AN POZOKKUO/A iVifvA /L+sr-mcotxt J i }((*•' VteAXqw ; //L- \ Y/tlAV/S_ _ 5 9 6 A H o M J U p S - -- . v/ fas / \ I V*> P3UE.V/ *V X \ WHERE MAJOR LOGAN WAS KILLED.

His splendid qualities as a soldier and high courage on the fighting line have given him place among the heroic men of the war, and it will be some consolation to you to know that he died for his country on the field of honor. You have in this trying hour for yourself and the children the sincere sympathy of Mrs. McKinley and myself." The announcement of the death of Maj. John A. Logan fell with crushing force npon his widow and children, two of whom are old enough to realize the loss of their father. Mrs. Logan and her mother, Mrs. Andrews, had completed preparations fbr going abroad, expecting to spend the winter in the south of France, and were anticipating a pleasant trip, when the cablegram was received, changing the home into a house of mourn­ ing. Mrs. Logan was a daughter of the late Chauncey Andrews, iron and rail­ way magnate, and /her wedding to Maj. Logan March 22, 1887, was a brilliant social event, the couple receiving gifts amounting to $200,000, the bride being presented with $100,000 in government bonds by her father and her uncle, Wal­ lace C. Andrews. The Logans have three children. Maj. Logan while in Cuba gained the reputation of a soldier who knew no fear, and he said to a friend prior to leaving for the Philippines: "If it is or­ dered that my life goes out on the battle­ field I hope it will be leading my men against the enemy." In view of his detlth the words seem to have been pro­ phetic. The body of the son will proba­ bly be brought home for burial beside his father, whose body lies in a tomb in the National Soldiers' Home Cemetery in Washington. Told in a Few Line*. Wm.

The Thirty-third infantry in one of the sharpest two hours' engagements of the war with an equal force of insurgents, five miles from San Fabian, Saturday lost one officer and six men killed and one officer and twelve men wounded. The Americans captured twenty-nine Fili­ pinos and 100 rifles and found eighty-one insurgent dead lying in the trenches and rice fields. Many more Filipinos, doubt­ less, were killed or wonnded. The insurgents opened the fight two miles from San Jacinto, while the lead­ ing American battalion was passing a clump of houses in the midst of a cocoa- nut grove, knee deep In mud. The Fili­ pino sharpshooters, hidden iu trees, houses and a small trench across the road, held their fire until the Americans were close to them. When they began firing other Filipinos opened fire from thickets, right and left, further away. The regiment then deployed under fire, with Maj. John A. Logan's battalion in the center. Maj. Crouic's on the right and Maj. Marsh's on the left. The skirmish line, which was a mile long, ad­ vanced rapidly, keeping up a constant tire. The Filipinos made an unexpected­ ly good stand, many of them remaining under cover until the Americans were within twenty feet of them. The insur­ gents are supposed to have retreated to­ ward Dagupan. It was impossible to pursue them, as the American troops were exhausted and their supply of am­ munition was low. Maj. Logan was shot through the head and mortally wounded early in the fight while stooping to attend a corporal who .had been wounded. A hospital steward was killed while trying to drag the major to tbe side of the road. Shortly after­ ward, at the same spot, Capt. Green and a non-commissioned officer were wound­ ed. All this was evidently the work of sharpshooters, who picked out the offi­ cers by their uniforms. Half a dozen of these men were spotted in the trees and illpil by on r TBe firing on the field hospital men did not cease, however, until a detail returning from San Jacinto to convey the dead and wounded to San Fabian cleared the coun­ try of insurgents. Maj. March's battalion was the first to enter San Jacinto. Judging from the resistance made by the enemy, it is be­ lieved the insurgents "were veterans from Tarlac, under command of Gen. Minio. CRUISER CHARLESTON MEETS < - • WITH DISASTER. lis Loat While PatrolHnB: the Northwest Coaet of Luzon-Officers and Crew Make Their Escape from the Unlncky Fighting Craft. ^ . V The United States cruiser Ql&tfNKbtt, which had been patrolling the northern coast of Luzon, was wrecked on a reef Tuesday, Nov. 7. All on board were saved.

The cruiser was the vessel which took possession of Guam on her way to join Admiral Dewey, whom she supported with effi­ ciency in the capture of Manila. The Charleston, which was built in gan Francisco in 1888, had, a displace­ ment of 3,730 tons, was 312 feet 7 inches in length, 46 feet 2 inches in beam and 21 feet 8 inches in draught. She was of steel, having two propellers, one funnel and two masts with military tops. The Charleston has been in Asiatic waters more than a year. She was one of the first vessels to be sent to Manila after the destruction of the Spanish fleet by Admiral Dewey, the Navy Department utilizing her for the purpose of sending ammunition and other supplies for the Asiatic station. Just.previous to her as­ signment to that duty she had undergone an overhauling at the Mare Island navy yard, San Francisco, and therefore was in prime condition for her duties. The Charleston sailed from San Fran­ cisco on May 18 last. She was heavily laden with ammunition for Admiral Dewey's fleet. Sh^^carried a crew oi 880 men and no troops. Chases Chilian Warship.

The Itata, primarily a mer­ chant vessel, had been enlisted in the aiu of the congressional party in Chili while civil war was raging there, and put to sea from San Diego, Cal., May 6 in defi­ ance of United States laws, with a Unit­ ed States marshal virtually a prisoner on board. At sea the Itata took on a cargo of arms and ammunition from the Amer­ ican schooner Robert and Minnie, anu With it set sail for the Chilian coast. The Charleston on Slay 9 started in pursuit of the Itata with orders to take her at allthazards. The memorable stern chase lasted twenty-five days. Many thought a naval battle would occur, for i. was presumed that the Esmeralda, < powerful ironclad, would attempt to pro tect the Itata, but no occasion for u. fight arose. When, on Jnne 4,- the Charleston ar­ rived at Iquiqtie she learned for the first time that the Chilis- insurgents, fearing trouble with the United States, had con­ sented to hand over the Itata with all her cargo. The runaway shortly steamed into Iqui- que and was surrendered to Admiral Mc- Cann, in charge of the United States fleet. The Charleston escorted the cap­ tive cruiser back to San Francisco and international complications with the Latin-American republic were averted. FOOTBALL GAMES. Results of the Leading Contests on the Gridiron Saturday. Results of the leading football games played Saturday: Pennsylvania, 11; Michigan, 10.

As a result of the games settled Sat­ urday three teams--Harvard, Yale and Princeton--may now be regarded as lead­ ing in the East. Pennsylvania's victory over Michigan was by no means decisive, a 11 to 10 score being practically a tie. Chicago's defeat of Northwestern was impressive, but the form displayed by the victors was even more significant of their worth,than was the big score. Wis­ consin trounced Illinois, which bad al­ ready been beaten by Michigan. Brown's victory over the (Massachusetts Institute of Technology proves little. A comparison of the" relative merits of teams in tbe West shows that Chicago, Wisconsin and Michigan are virtually on a par. Wisconsin and Michigan wili settle their standing on Thanksgiving day. After that Chicago's recent show- _iay-against~Pennsylvania may be com- pared with that of Michigan, both against the Quakers and against the Badgers, and a conclusion possibly reach­ ed. If Wisconsin and Michigan display about equal ability the Western cham­ pionship will necessarily be still in doubt. | CHURCH AND CLERGY. | Universalists are rats-ing $200,000 fo^ a church extension fund.

The tables relating to the ac­ counts and business of the several classes fit banks are especially instructive. By them it is shown that during the last ten years the national banks have increased in number from 3,329 to 3,585 and depos­ itors from 1,650,044 to 2,744,459; savings banks from 849 to 942 and depositors krom 3,811,059 to 5,207,653; State and private banks from 2,995 to 4.947 and depositors from 1,071,260 to 2,838,326; loan and trust companies from 120 to 260 and depositors from 177,601 to 624,198. The total number of banks of all kinds increased 2,429, or 34 per cent, while the [increase in depositors was 70 per cent. Loan and trust companies show the larg­ est increase in point of percentage, and also in percentage of business secured. It is in deposits, however, that the full extent of the financial growth of the country is best reflected. Deposits in national banks increased from $1,442,- 337,979 to $2,522,157,500 in ten years; in savings banks from $1,444,391,325 to $2,- 182,000,424; State and private banks from $590,268,109 to $1,228,995,364; loan and trust companies from $299,612,899 to $835,499,064; total increase from $3,- 776,410,402 to $6,768,658,361, or $2,992,- 237,959. The total percentage of increase in deposits in the ten years was 83. Na­ tional banks increased 8- per cent, sav­ ings banks 51 per cent, State and private banks 109 per cent and trust cotnpanies 178 per cent. Some idea of the difficulties Uncle Sam will encounter when he begins to educate his new Spanish-American wards may be obtained from the report of the Commis­ sioner of Education. This shows that the enrollment of scholars of all ages in the United States is now 16,687,643, or nearly 20 per cent of the population. Ia Cuba last year, with a population of 1,- 4.5,771, the enrollment was only 67,473, or only a trifle over 5 per cent, and in addition it must JhslSremembered that most of the schools are such in name only. In Porto Rico the figures show an enrollment of only 27,936, with a popu­ lation of about 890,000, showing that the wretched schools of the island are at­ tended by only a little over 3 per cent of the total population. The percentage of illiteracy is about -87 per cent for^both whites and colored. Thus far, under military rule, it has been possible only to encourage and protect the native schools. Hereafter it will be necessary to inaugurate an American system in Porto Rico and to lay the foundations &t least in Cuba. I Molasses for cavalry horses will in fu­ ture be one of the items of expense for. the ~'-:ntenance of the army in the Phil- Kpines. Gen. Otis in a cable to the War epartment some months ago objected to the department sending cavalry regi- 'ments because the horses would not eat (the hay grown in the Philippines, and fthe cost of shipping forage from the United States was too great. Not only (did the horse decline to eat hay, but the native grasses were too much for them. [Recently Gen. Otis snid he would like to [mount Col. Kennon's Thirty-fourth vol­ unteer infantry, and asked the War De­ partment to send him horses for this pur­ pose. Secretary Root became curious and requested Otis to send him an ex­ planation as to how he intended feeding the horses. A reply was received in which Gen. Otis said cavalry men had found that by sprinkling molasses over the native hay and grasses the horses Cvere fond of it and ate it as readily as hiat grown in the United States. In future operations in the Philippines mo­ lasses for cavalry horses will be as much a part of the ration as is tobacco for the men. President McKinley is busy preparing his annual message, and this requires a large share of his time. A great part of the meskage consists of the summarizing of official reports, and these portions the President dictates to a stenographer. But whenever he comes to a place where he wishes to express his own opinion or ideas, he drops dictation and writes by hand. As soon as he gets to such a place he leaves his stenographer aud goes to Mrs. McKinley's sitting room. All his writing is done there, so that he may be in her company every moment of the time that the monotonous repetition of dictation and correction will not annoy the invalid. It is said that in his mes­ sage the President will urge retention of ^Philippines, immediate stable territorial government for Hawaii and Porto RiCo. (The Cuban question will be left open. '• Secretary of the Treasury Gage issued ;an order to purchase $25,000,000 worth of bonds, the primary object of the pur­ chase being the immediate relief of the New York money market. There is a plethora of cash in the treasury, and the Secretary decided it was a good time to give the people an opportunity to sell their bonds back to the Government. The order for the bond purchase indicates two things: That Uncle Sam has plenty of cash iu his strong box, and that the business of the country is remarkably large and requires considerable cash in its handling, The bonda that are asked for are those maturing in 1904 and 1907. A claim for bounty for Admiral Dewey and his men growing out of the battle of Manila bay has been filed, with the court of claims by their attorneys. Thejr de­ mand $200 for each man in the enemy's fleet ou the gronnd that Americans at­ tacked a superior force. If the court de­ cides that Dewey attacked an inferior force, he and his men will get only $100 for each man on the enemy's fleet. The total claim is $382,800, of which Dewey's share in case the full award is made will ba $19,194. Tt is proposed to use monster search lights in the military operations around- Manila, and a portable device of that character will be shipped to the signal officers for trial in actual service. The tests with the light at home have sug­ gested its value in the fit'ld, especially in night marches aud operations. . . . _ ' > months of 1890, ending of trade in favor of as .$.370,867,157.
