ANOTHER SKIRMISH.
General MlcMleton's roops Ea
gaged Witt the Rebels Again.
A Ilmming Fight, In Which Kiel's Men Do
Blont ot the Running An American
Officer's Plucky Handling of
Catling Gun 1 lie Canunttleii.
WiNNirhvi, Man., May 11. General
Mlddletoa's troops had another skirmish
with a large force of rebels near Batouche
ISatnrdaj. The troops advanced seven
miles from camp, the steamer Northcote
keeping pace with them on the river.
Suddenly a sound of the steamer's whis
tle was heard followed by heavy firing In
front and in the direction of the river.
This was answered by a signal from the
troops, and all pushed rapidly ahead.
They came upon two houses near the
bank of the river and advanced. A party
of rebels were met, who fired and retired
behind the houses toward a hoHow. The
Galling gun was brought to bear on them,
when they ran into a house near the
Churcli of St. Laurent, which was also
fired on by the Gatling gun, when the
rebels ran out into the bush. A battery
of artillery rushed to the front and sent
several shells after the rebels. The
grenadiers advanced in skirmishing order
till the church was reached, when a priest
came out of the bouse waring a white
flag. General Middle ton and staff ad
vanced and shook hands with him, when
three other priests and five Sisters of
Charity came out. A number of half
breeds and children were also inside in
charge of the Sisters.
Father Monlln, one of the priests, said
. the steamer arrived at a point a little
above Batouche at 5:30 a. m., and the
' rebels Immediately commenced firing on
it from both banks. It shortly after
stuck on a mud bank, but swung clear
again. The vessel Is supposed to be
badly peppered, as the smoke stack is
gone. She went back abont three miles
up the river. Grenadiers advanced,
skirmishing through the bosh on
the right of the trail, the
Gatling gun being pushed forward down
the declivity toward Batouche, which was
now plainly visible In the valley below.
Battery A unllmbered on top of the ridge,
sending shells into them. Whilst doing
so they were almost surprised by a num
ber of rebels, who crept up through the
bush, not being discovered until twenty
yards distant. . They made a rush for the
guns, firing and yelling as they ran. Cap-
taiu Howard, of the American army, who
operates the Gatling gun, saw the
danger, and with cool daring, ran his gun
a couple of yards In front of the battery,
and, opening fire, literally mowed the re
bels down. Those remaining turned and
ran. Reaching the shelter of the bush,
they opened fire again, and Howard's es
cape from Injury was something marvel
ous, the bullets flying all around him.
He gallantly maintained his position, and
the rebels, unable to stand the terrible
fire, returned to a hut constructed In the
ravine running from the river.
At 2 p. m. the rebel fire gradually
ceased, the troops, however, still keep
in.; up a scattered fire all along the line,
gradually slackening until four o'clock,
when only scattering shots were heard.
At C:S0 the rebels opened fire again
from the bluff near the ravine, but were
Khelled out. Winnipeg Battery resumed
-and shelled houses iu the distance, where
a large number ot rebels had gathered.
Due shell crashed through the first house,
and the rebels rushed out. Another blew
the roof off the second house, and the
rebels retreated to Kiel's camp at Ba
touche. V n. Bruce, lately a prisoner of Rlel,
vho escaped, says that Kiel's force Is a
little over four hundred, halt of whom
are on the other side ot the river. He
Uo says that when ammunition was
nerved to rho tebels only one keg of pow
der remained. Bullets are also scarce.
Women and children had been sent to the
other side of the river.
The lebel loss is not known, but It Is
supposed to be severe. The following is
a list of the killed and wounded among
the troops:
Gunner Phillips, shot through the
stomach while in the ravine; died while
being carried in.
Thomas J. Stout, run over by a car
riage; not fatal.
Chappalier, shot through both legs;
one fractured.
Gunners Fairbanks and Toohey, also
hot in the legs.
Grenadier Cuptaln Mason, of No. 2
company; slight wound in the thigh.

T-OCATED AT WASHINGTON.
The New Catliol c University to He Located
at the National Capital IliHhop Ireland,
of Minnesota In Charge of the frojeet.
Washington, D. C, May 11. It was
officially annouueed lu the Catholic
churches of this city, athigh mass yester
day, that Washington had been selected
as the site of the new Catholic university.
A conference of Catholic church men was
held In Ilaltiinorc last week to decide this
matter, and after mature consideration
Washington was selected. Bishop Ire
land, of Minnesota, who was deputed to
select I he grouud and make arrangements
for the erection of the university, in
an address yesterday at St. Matthew's
Church, said th's city was a good open
ing because it possessed greater literary,
scientific, political and philosophic ad
vantages than any other city in the coun
try. It, as the capital of the aation, was
the center ot the social and literary life
cf the country, and whllo other
cities had offered greater money
inducements to have the University
located In their midst, none could offer
the inducements which were peculiar to
Washington.
The nucleus for the establishment of
this university was the donation last fall of
Miss Caldwell, of New York, of 8300,000,
which amouut was accepted by the Cath
olic Council in Baltimore, - and a sum
Added which will Insure its erection.
IT WAS ALL WRIGHT.
And they Arretted Him at Terr Mantel
Hut He Sayi It's All Wrong-The It (liana
Express Itobbery Traced Home to th
' Apparently Guilty Party.
Bloomington, Ind., May 11. All the
work of the detectives has resulted la
apparently fixing the guilt ot the
recent robbery of the express safe, and
the murderous assault on the inensenger
and baggage-master, on Win. Wright,
whose parents reside near Uarrodsburg,
but a short distance from the scene of the
robbery. Wright was a short time ago
in the regular army, and was also a cow
boy in Texas. He left his home In this
county on the day of the robbery, and
answers the description of the robber
In every particular. A photograph of
Wright taken two ye-'-g ago was sent to
New Albany, and Peter Weber, the bag
gage master, feels confident that he Is the
man. A dispatch has been received from
Terre Haute, announcing the arrest of
Wright at that place. The City Marshal
of Bloomlngtou started after him Imme
diately. He will arrive here to-day, and
Weber will be here on the noon train to
see If be can Identify Mm. If he Is pro
nounced guilty, the probabilities are he
will be lynched. ,
Bloomington, Ind., May 12. Wm.
Wright was arrested in Terre Haute
Monday and - brought here 'yesterday,
charged with the train robbery commit
ted near hero two weeks ago. He says t
"It looks kind of hard to be here under
these circumstances, but I feel confident
that Weber will set me free. I want to
see him as quick as possible. I left Tues
day, the day before the crime was com
mittv'd, for Terre Haute, to go to my
uncle's for work. He had none, and
I then bought some notions and
went out on a tramp to sell them
for a living. The night the crime was com
mitted, I was four miles west of Terre
Haute, as I can prove by a man whom I
stayed all night with. I forget his name.
I did not hear of their hunting me until
Thursday last. On Sunday I went and
gave myself up. I told the police I
wanted the matter straightened up at
once. 1 had word from my wife several
times and wrote her a letter the day
the crime was committed. I am sure
they will set mo at liberty."
The story Is well connected, but docs
not agree with that of his wife or father.
The general Impression Is that he bought
a ticket to prove that he was out of the
neighborhood, and that the letter from
Terre Haute was mailed by an accom
plice, for it is not in his handwriting.
His manner is careless and be wants to
talk to everybody.
Ills doctors refused to let Weber come
up to-day, but It Is thought he will be
here to-morrow to say whether Wright
Is the man.
THE PLYMOUTH PLAGUE.
Definitely Ascertained by Post Mortem Ex
amination, to be Genuine Typhoid Fever
Measures for IU Suppression A Hopt
tal Established.
Wii.kksbahric, Pa., May 11. Police
Surgeon French and Dr. Shakespeare, of
Philadelphia, arrived here Saturday night
to Investigate the Plymouth epidemic on
behalf of the relief committee of Phila
delphia. Yesterday morning, accompa
nied by several of the leading physicians
of this city, they went to Plymouth, ex
amined the water supply and investigated
the theory advanced by the committee of
Wllkesbarre physicians as to the source
of the epidemic. With this theory they
agreed, and In their opinion it Is one of
the clearest cases of the method in which
typhoid fever Is spread.
Early yesterday morning Jno. Williams,
a mluer, aged twenty-one years, aleU
from the plague, and permission of his
relatives was secured for a post-mortem
examination, which was made in the
presence of a dozen physicians Irom this
city and Plymouth. It was established
beyond all question that the epidemic was
one of genuine typhoid fever. The par
ticular tension of this disease the ul
ce ration and perforation of the intestines
was remarkably plain. Saturday and
yesterday five deaths occurred from the
disease.
' Active measures to prevent, and If pos
sible stop, the ravages of fever at Ply
mouth, were Inaugurated this morning.
A large school house was fitted up as a
hospital. It is fitted up with the neces
sary conveniences, and is in charge oi a
regular corns of physicians and nurses
A wagon load of medicine was forwarded
from the Wllkesbarre Hospital, to Ply
mouth this morning. As soon as a patient
is taken sick he is to bo conveyed to the
hospital. It Is hoped In this way to pro
vent the spread of the disease. It is a
fact that out of every five who die from
the disease two die from neglect. There
were two deaths last night and several
new cases.
Fatal Accident In a Tunnel.
Takrytow.v, N. Y., May 11. Two men
were killed, two fatally injured aud two
badly hurt in an accident yesterday at
Cut No. 9 on the new aqueduct in Sleepy
Hollow. Fifteen men were working in
the beading, and others were at work
near the mouth of the tunnel. Suddenly
there was a terrible explosiou and every
light in the tunuel was put out. The men
In the heading were stunned, but were
soon aroused by the cries of the others
coming through the smoke aud darkness.
They hastened back to, the breach
and found Michael Quirn under
a rile of rocks dead. Geo. Ilul-
bert had been thrown ten feet and his
drill, weighing 300 pounds, lay across his
chest. He was still alive out oacuy nurt,
Joseph Fes j u a lay buried beneath a pile
of rocks, also badly injured. The others
were lying abcut all more or less serious
ly hurt. An Italian, name unknown, was
soon after removed, fatally Injured. llut
bert died at two o'clock. The Coroner at
once began an investigation, but after ex-
aminlnz a few of the witnesses it was ad-
iourned. It Is supposed that one of the
blasts failed to explode, and in boring the
drill struck and. discharged it.
FOREIGN NEWS.
Aa Exciting Time In the British Parlia
ment The Government Sustained The
Afghan Boundary Question The Ad
vance Cpon Khartoum, In the Soudan, to
be Abandoned.
London. May 12. In the House ot
Common last night the vote of credit of
$55,000,000 for war purposes being under
consideration, Lord George Hamilton
(Conservative for Middlesex) brought up
the motion of which Sir Stafford North
cate cave notice on his behalf last Fri
day, that the House having shown its
readiness to vote supplies, will refuse
to assent to the vote of 11,000,000
unless it has been Informed of the Gov
ernment's present policy, and of the pur
poses to which the grant is to be applied.
Lord Hamilton, in supporting his motion,
made a bitter attack on the Government,
accusing them of ignominlously running
away from the Soudan after having ac
complished nothing except the murder
of 10.000 natives: and after having
made concessions to Russia, which
amounted to a complete surrender In
return for nothing but a patched up and
short-lived peace. He demanded that
the House be placed In possession oi
the full correspondence In the Afghan
frontier controversy, and that the Gov
ernment furnish a definite statement of
Its future policy in treating that ques-
tlon.
A remarkably effective reply to this
speech was made on behalf of the Cabinet
by Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlalu, Presi
dent of the Board of Trade and member
for Birmingham, who characterized Lord
Hamilton's language as valiant, but
devoid of sense, and worthy of a
rhetorician rather thau of a states
man. "If the House desired
to call the Government to account,"
continued Mr. Chamberlain, "the mat
ter was in their own hands. Instead of
discussing such weak and absurd motions
as that, they could simply refuse to grant
the supplies for whicn tno uovernnient
asked In order to carry out Its policy."
Mr. Henry Chaplin, Conservative mem
ber for Lincolnshire, supported the mo
tion, and dwelt upon the waste of blood
aud treasure, and the Infliction of ruin In
the Soudan, which, he declared, had had
do other object than to save the seats of
an Imbecile ministry.
Lord Randolph Churchill, the Conserva
tive, spoke In favor of the motion, but
was less bitter than usual in his
strictures upon the Government. He
claimed that the motion was
purposely woided so as to enable the
ministers to retire with grace and dignity
from a position which it would be Im
possible for them to retain. He took oc
casion to defend the Tories from the
charge that they were the war party.
The real war party, In spite of their claim
to desire peace, were the Liberals, who
sought a vote of $55,000,000 for war pur
poses. Lord Hartlngton, Secretary oi btate
for War, closed the debate with a forcible
and elegant speech In defense of the
Government's policy, and at tweuty min
utes past two o'clock In the morning a
vote was taken which resulted in a ma
jority of thirty for the Government, the
motion oi censure being deieatea oy zou
yeas to 290 nays.
THE NEW BOUNDARY.
Simla, May II. According to a report
in circulation here, the Ameer has bound
himself to Insist upon a frontier passing
through three points, the names of
which the Government refuses to dis
close. Penjdeh, however, is not one of
the places. The Ameer desires the joint
boundary commission to examine Oxus
Valley also. Immediately upon the re
turn of the Ameer to Cabul he issued
orders that British olfteers should be al
lowed to Inspect the forts at Herat. The
Ameer has received detailed plans for
the defenses of Herat from the Indian
Government

ABANDONED T1IF. 1'I.AN.
London, May 11. In the House of
Commons this afternoon Lord Hartlng
ton, Minister for War, stated that the
Government had definitely decided to
abandon the plan of advance spon Khar
toum. The British troops would be con
centrated at Wady Haifa and Assouan.
Suaklm would not be evacuated until ar
rangements could be made to garrison
the place by troops of some civilized
power. These changes in tne original
plan would make It unnecessary to pusn
forward the railway from Suaklm toward
Berber.
