WARDEN AULL IS
SUMMONED BY DEATH
For the Past Year His Health Has Gradually
Been Failing and Physicians Have
Worked in Vain.
THE LATE CHARLES AULL
SACRAMENTO. Oct. 9. - Charles
Aull, Warden of Folsom Peniten
tiary, died at his residence there'
at 2:45 o'clock this afternoon. Fif
teen minutes prior to his death the
report was sent out that the War
den was dying, but it was at that time
believed that the end would not come un
til to-morrow morning.
The death of Warden Aull Is regarded
In Sacramento In the light of the loss of
one if Its own best citizens, for the War
den was held In the highest esteem here
and his acquaintance was widespread.
Those to whom the news came as a per
sonal sorrow recall the fatalism which
seems to have settled upon the Warden's
household. Six or seven years ago there
were not in all California two sisters of
such radiant beauty, grace of manner and
rare mental cultivation as Mrs. Charles
Aull and Mrs. P. A. Humbert. They, with
their husbands, constituted a most happy
household, and the guest at their table
deemed himself fortunate In having been
surrounded by such charming' hostesses
and hospitable hosts. ■ r.»v.'
Pierre Humbert was the originator of
the plans for the great Folsom dam and
canal, but before that vast work had been
finished, and while he was still In his
prime, death overtook him and then, while
In the very height of her beauty, Mrs.
Humbert also succumbed to death.
Those who most Intimately knew her
handsome and generous sister, Mrs. Aull,

thought they detected In her a change
from the hour her sisters body was con
signed to the earth. Probably this may
not have been, but nevertheless within
shortly over a year Mrs. Aull followed
her Bister in death. Then again it seemed
that death, still unsatlated, had beckoned
to Charles Aull.
From a robust man in the very perfec- I
tion of health, to all appearances, he I
faded into a mere semblance of his former \
self. Sojourns at various watering places I
availed little to Improve his condition and !
his decline had been gradual up to the j
hour of his own death to-day.
Warden Aull was but a few months I
past 50 years of age. He was a native of !
Clay County, Missouri. In 1875 he was ap- ]
pointed turnkey of the San Quentln prison
and during his four years of service there '■
held nearly every position in the prison.
Political change occurring, Mr. Aull en
tered the service of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
and made a fine reputation as a detec
tive. In November, 1583, he was appointed
Warden of San Quentln prison, serving
four years. He was then selected as War
den of Folsom prison and he has filled !
the position through successive adminis- !
trations, both Republican and Democratic, \
making for his prison the name of one of
the very best managed penal Institutions
In the United States.
It is said' that a successor to Warden
Anil may be elected at a meeting of the
Prison Directors at San Quentln next Sat
urday, although there has not yet been
even' a suggestion here as' to his probable
successor, the death of the Warden hav
ing fallen as a heavy shock upon the of
ficials and civilians alike.
ADVANCE UPON
THE FILIPINOS
American Forces Within
Sight of Malabon.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
MANILA, Oct. 9.— General Schwan's col
umn, consisting of the Thirteenth In
fantry, a battalion of the Fourteenth In
fantry, two troops of cavalry, Captain
Reilly's battery of the Fifth Artillery and
Lowe's scouts, continued the advance to
il, iv toward San Francisco de Malabon,
meeting with little resistance and suffer
ing no casualties. The enemy fell back
steadily. ;. ■''--.
The .American camp to-night is within
sight of San Francisco de Malabon, the
stronghold of the insurgents in the pro
vince of Cavite, where the Filipinos are
said to number 5000. .;:">..
During the march from Noveleta to
Rosario only a few shots were fired. This
large -'east town was literally filled with
white flags. The Americans captured
two or three hundred men, many of the
Filipinos changing their clothing for
white costumes. The bay of Rosario was
filled with hundreds of boats and the peo
ple had spent an exciting night.
This afternoon a body of insurgents
was seen near La Lonia Church, four
miles from the heart of Manila. They
opened fire, the bullets falling among the
tents of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. The
Americans manned the trenches and re
plied a -range of 1200 yards.. The in
surgents volleyed and the Americans
used their artillery. The tight lasted an
hour, after which the Insurgents retreat
ed. One man was wounded. The scouts
of the Twentieth Infantry were sent to
reconnoiter.

MANILA, Oct. 9.— Lowe's scouts, sixty
men in all, and Captain McOrath'a troop
of the Fourth Cavalry, dismounted, crept
Into Cavite Viejo at 7:3o. o'clock Sunday
morning and took the place without op
position. The main column of General
Schwan, comprising the entire Thirteenth
Infantry, a battalion of the Fourteenth, a
mounted troop of the Third Cavalry- and
part of Reilly's Battery, a total of more
than 1500 men, marched out of Rlnacayan
at 10::10 o'clock on their way to Cavite
Vlejo and Noveleta. The gunboats Wheel
ing. Petrel and Callao shelled Noveleta
and Santa Cruz as a preliminary to the
troops' advance.
The marching column struck the enemy
and found them strongly entrenched. !
Through the water, bamboo thickets and
rice fields the American soldiers charged
on the trenches. They could not see the
enemy, who showered Mauser bullets
upon them. A brass cannon, loaded with
scrap Iron, was fired upon Captain Mc-
Grath's troops at less than 200 yards*
range. One officer was killed and another
had a leg shattered by an Iron nut that
pierced it. Captain Charles W. Fenton,
aid to General Fred Grant, was shot
through the ear, and ten enlisted men
were wounded. The enemy abandoned
their trenches, having suffered consider
able loss. -
While this fight was in progress two
battalions of marines, under Colonel El
liott, moved from Cavite southward to
ward Noveleta. They struck the enemy
on a narrow road In the midst of a
Swamp. Unable to throw out a flanking
force, they charged straight at the in
surgents through swamp and all. They
succeeded, in -reaching solid ground and

MARCONI IN
READINESS FOR
THE YACHTS
Changes His Sending Ap
paratus to the Steamer
Grand Duchesse.
SERVICE IS IMPROVED
Will Be Able to Send Many More
Bulletins and Give a Much
Better Report Than the
Shore Watchers."
Epeclal Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Oct. Starting anew
to-morrow, Marconi will make his
headquarters on the steamship
Grand Duchesse, from which all
bulletins of the future yacht race*
will be sent to the Herald and The
Call. So great an Interest has the public
taken In the practical operation of wire
less telegraphy that it was thought best
to transmit from the Grand Duchesse. In
consequence the Ponce will make no more
excursion trips, but the larger steamer,
the Grand Duchesse, will amply accom
modate all who desire to make the run
on her.
The Grand Duchesse will leave her pier,
Just above Desbrosses street ferry slip, at
9:30 o'clock to-morrow morning, and be
ing a remarkably fast traveler will arrive
at the starting line thirty minutes before
the signal is fired. : This will . give her
passengers a full opportunity to see the
jockeying for position, which is often the
most interesting part of the race.
Just as soon as it became known that
Marconi would himself have command of
the work on the Grand Duchesse the de
mand for tickets greatly Increased. Here
tofore an assistant has been on this
steamship, most of the work being done
from the Ponce. To-morrow, however,
from the moment the Grand Duchesse
leaves her pier until she returns to It at
night wireless telegraphy will be in con
stant operation on the Grand Duchesse,
which means that a new record will be
made in the number of words transmitted.
During the six hours that will probably
elapse after the first preliminary move is
made before the winning craft reaches
the final mark, fully 4000 words will be
sent to the receiving stations at Naveslnk
Highlands. Those on the Grand Duchesse
will have an opportunity of watching the
new process, although during the actual
race, when the operators will be very
busy, the apartment from which bulletins
will be sent will be closed except to those
actually at work. Later the exclusive
ness will be relaxed. Marconi had his
sending apparatus transferred from the
Ponce to the Grand Duchesse, the in
stallation being completed this evening,
when signals were exchanged with the
station at Naveslnk Highlands. Every
thing worked perfectly. After the tests
Marconi looked up at the towering mast
of the Grand Duchesse, and smiling com
placently said: "I would guarantee to
signal from this ship as now equipped to
the Highlands if we were 200 miles out at
sea. his is a magnificent mast of just
the right height for my purpose. We'll
make a record to-morr,ow. I'm glad, too,
that we're on a faster craft, for I've a
notion that the Shamrock will lift the
long-coveted cup and I want to see the
start. On the Ponce we missed two of
the starts last week. However, the
Grand Duchesse is large enough and fast
enough for an Atlantic liner,' and I look
forward to a pleasant day even though
we will have to do much hard work."
With Marconi on the Grand Duchesse
to-morrow will be the representatives of
the signal corps, who are eager to wit
ness some of the severe tests which have
been promised. There will be present
also one or more navy officers. Telegrams
were received late to-night from Wash
ington. New Orleans and St. Louis ask
ing that accommodations bo reserved on
the ship. From Washington will come a
party of fifteen for Thursday's race, while
New Orleans and St. Louis parties will
make the trip Friday. In every case
announcement was made that the desire
to see the wireless telegraph In opera
tion was greater than the interest in the
yacht race.
Captain Norton, who has the excursion
in charge, guarantees that the Grand
Duchesse will at all times be kept in tho
best position for watching the maneu
vers of the competing yachts. This will
make the bulletins to-morrow of extra
ordinary Interest, particularly as the
yachts may run straight out to sea.
Should such a course be laid, shore
watchers would have little to do, while
the general public In New York and San
Francisco would have to depend entirely
on the Herald and The Call bulletins for
news of the race.
drove the Filipinos away. One of the
marines was killed In this engagement
and twelve were wounded. Squads of ma
rines were sent from this point into Nove
let a.
Almost simultaneously with the move
ment of General Schwan westward, a
battalion of the Fourth Infantry, led by
Captain Cowles, marched eastward from j
Imus and captured San Nicolas after a
sharp fight with the insurgents for forty
live minutes. Four men were wounded
during the encounter. The bodies of six
insurgents were found on the field.
MANY LIVES ARE
LOST BY DROWNING
MANILA. Sept. 4.— The army In Luzon
has lost more men during the past fort
night by drowning than by bullets. All
the little streams which In the dry season
are mere creeks have become swift, wide
' rivers with unexpected and treacherous
currents and eddies. Ten colored soldiers
of the Twenty-fourth Infantry were
drowned at the Marlqulna River on tho
22d of August In an accident exactly
duplicating the loss of' five soldiers in the
Pasig River three months ago. Soldiers
are conveyed across the streams on bam
boo rafts whose motive power is a rope
stretched between the banks. In both
case's the ropes broke, the rafts were over
turned and part of the soldiers weighted
down with guns, haversacks and heavy
ammunition belts were unable to reach
the shore. Private J. E. Poole of the
Twenty-fourth lost his life in attempting
to rescue his comrades. He swam to the
shore and secured a small raft, which he
poled into the river, but was himself
pulled into the water and drowned by a
soldier he was trying to lift aboard the
raft. The last of the bodies of the ten
soldiers were recovered In the river this
week and all have been burled With mili
tary honors. >-'.■.•>." k
Four men of the : Third Infantry, sta
tioned at Quingua, were drowned in tho
Ragbag River before daylight on the
morning of the 17th, when the regiment
was starting against the forces of Pilar
which were threatening the railroad near
Malolos. Corporal Peter Larson was the
hero of this accident. He was drowned
in a brave effort to save others, and Lieu
tenant Chauncey B. Humphreys rescued
several of his men by great efforts and
i was himself nearly drowned during the
work. The regiment started from Quin
gua at 3 In the morning and swam the
Ragdbag River carrying their guns, HO
rounds of ammunition and haversacks.
The river is wide and shallow arid most
of the distance was fordable. but the cur
rent had become so swift that many were
carried off their feet. Seventeen were
compelled to drop their guns to get across.
Corporal Larson had reached the farther
shore when he heard the cries of the
drowning men and plunged back with his
gun still strapped to his back. He carried
one man of his company to safety and
turned back a second time. He was heard
to say: "I don't think I can make It, but
I'll try." He reached midstream and was
struggling to bring out another helpless
private, when both sank and were lost.
Most of the men took off their shoes be
fore crossing and marched and fought all
LEFT THE CENTURY
MARK FAR BEHIND
Remarkable Life of Mrs. Percilla Nelson,
Who Died at the Age' of One
Hundred and Thirty.
MRS. PERCILLA NELSON, the Aged Negress Who Died at Marysville
MARYSVILLE, Oct. 9.— Mrs. Percllla Nelson, who died In Marysville on Sep
tember 30, was regarded as a wonder by the colored population and the com
munity In general, as she claimed to have, made a stay on earth almost equal
to twice the time of the Biblical allotment. The death certificate on file in the
Coroner's office fixes her age at the time of her death at 130 years.
A few months before she passed away, in conversation with the Call corre
spondent she stated that she was born in Cocke County, East Tennessee. She
first saw the light of day March B. 1769, on the Conaway plantation, her mother
being a slave owned by William Conaway. At the age of 19 she was married
to Henry Carmlchael, by whom she had one child. At the end of a year the
partner of her Joys and sorrows was sold to a trader and carried down the
river. After which she was sold to a planter named Pomeroy across the Mis
souri River. By her second husband, Nathaniel Nelson, nine children were born
to her. Of her third master, William H. Russell, she always had a kind word,
as life with him was next to liberty. It was on his plantation that her hus
band left her while he came to California, where In two years he earned enough
money to purchase the freedom of his family and bring them to the Golden State.
That was in 1554. At Sacramento, they conducted a laundry business for two
years and later settled in San Joaquin County, where the husband and three
of the children died. The last twenty years of her life was spent In Marys
ville.
She was able to move about the house and take exercise to within foui
months of her death. In her time the world of Invention noted the advent of
the steamboat, locomotive, telegraph and telephone. In the cause of humanity
the shackles were stricken from her people, and where In her prime all people
of African descent were held In bondage now all are free and equal. Truly
some great changes were observed by "Granny" Nelson, now dead.

drowned in the Paslg on the 23d. He was
boarding a schooner in front of the office
of the Captain of the port, when a rope to

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.— General Otis
has made the following report to the
War Department of yesterday's fighting:
"Schwan. with a column of 1726 men.
Thirteenth Infantry, a battalion of the
Fourteenth Infantry, with cavalry and
artillery, left Bacoor yesterday morning

ualties are: Captain Saffold, Thirteenth
Infantry, killed; Captain McGrath, cav
alry, seriously wounded, and ten enlisted
men wounded. The column entered Ro
sario: this morning, meeting with slight
Opposition. Navy vessels and marines at
Cavite made a demonstration on Novela
ta yesterday while Schwan advanced at
the" same time. The troops at Imus at
tacked insurgents at San Nicolas, two
miles east of the city, and drove them
from the road intersecting there. Four
men were slightly wounded. The enemy
left six bodies on the field."

NO CENSORSHIP ON
PHILIPPINE MESSAGES
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.— The censor
ship of prass dispatches to and from Ma
nila has been abolished. This announce
ment was made at the War Department
to-day. It followed an expression of feel
ing by the naval officers on duty here at
what they thought an Inadequate report
In the press dispatches this morning of
the 'Part played by the marines In the
military operations of yesterday it be
ing charged that General Otis' jealous
blue pencil was again at work.
When this matter was brought to the
attention of Adjutant General Corbin he
stated that no censorship of press dis
patches has existed since September 9
and that the correspondents In the Phil
ippines are now allowed to send any in
formation they desire.
Undoubtedly the "round robin" protest
of the correspondents, published in July
was largely responsible for the removal
of the censorship. The authorities have
insisted that no instructions have been
sent to General Otis looking to Its re
moval. It is stated that the first sug
gestion came from General Otis on July
26, eight days after the correspondents
protest became public. „ " uc '' ia
CHANGES IN THE
TRANSPORT SERVICE
■HONOLULU. Oct. 2.-When Captain
Trask arrives at Manila with the trans- !
port Aztec he will probably receive orders
to return to Honolulu Instead of San
Francisco, as has been the rule hereto
fore. The Government is reported to have
decided to adopt the new. plan of keeping
two steamers for horses and mules plying
constantly between here and Manila and
two between here and the coast. The Az
tec Is believed to be one of those selected
for the Manila end of the journey. The I
Leelanaw and Centennial are to run be
tween her and San Francisco and one
other steamer will keep the Aztec com* '
pany. ■-,-.;;<,
The object of the new arrangement is to
give the horses a rest on land here in the
middle of their long voyage without hav
ing a steamer lie idle in port while the
horses recuperate. . Uncle Sam Is paying
very high for his transports, and the dally
bills for them pile up Just the same
whether they are hastening across the
sea or lying idle at the wharf. The ex
pense of simply the charter price of a
! vessel like the Aztec amounts to over
$5000 In tho time it takes for the horses
to get Into condition .for, another start.
Under the new arrangement the trans
ports that run between here and San Fran-
I cisco will land their animals here and go
j back for more. The 'result will be a large
I stock of horses and mules : on hand here
! all the time, from which the Aztec and
i her companion may draw. The animals
i may then have weeks; ashore instead
I of days, as the San Francisco transports
will get ahead of the Other two.
