While it la unlikely that the native of

that other from diatant provincei miht

Ia view of the fact that the enemy were
concentrating on the American riht
preparationi were made let nlglit to
give them a warm reception in the event
of attack.

originally of the North Dakota volun

o'clock in the evening, lignaled the flag
thip for periuiaaion to fire opou them,
and, thit being granted, bombarded the
enemy' trenche for 20 minutea. The
only eflect of the fire waa apparently to
drive the rebel further inland.
Beyond a few ineffectual volley from
the tranche, which were returned with
inteieat, the enemy made no demonttra
tion, and all ia quiet along the reit of
the line.

Young Hampton joined company II

Niw York, Feb. 21. A dispatch to
tbe Herald from Manila, says: The
enemy were concentrating all day at the
waterworks and in front of King's bri
gade. They became so nagging in front
of King's position that the general eent
two companies- of the First Washington
intantry over the Pasig river. They
swept the couutry for two miles and then
swung over to the river bank, opposite
tbe insurgent trenches facing the Ameri
can position at Macati, and opened a
flank fire on the insurgents across the
river.
Two guns of the Sixth artillery, onder
Lieutenant Ecott, pounded the insur
gent positions, while the troops from
Macati charged and drove the enemy be
fore them. Fifteen Filipino dead were
found and four wounded. Two Ameri
can soldiers were wounded by the ex
plosion of Springfield rifles.
The declaration of Aguinaldo that he
has made a humane war is a fabrication.
In the past few weeks the Red Cross haa
been like a red flag to the insurgents.
Captain Pierce, of McAtthur'a staff,
testifies that he has been shot at by
sharp-shooters 50 times in the provis
ional hospital. Not an ambulance or
litter came which was not a signal for a
shower of bullets.
The surgeons of tbe hospital corps, who
were giving aid to the Filipinos as well
aa to the American wounded, were a tar
get for the sharpshooters. A wounded
man who waa being carried from the
field was killed by insurgents concealed
in a tree. The Red Cross people are
now going armed.
Guerrilla Tactlos.
Manila, Feb. 20, 10.10 A. M. The
enemy have apparently realized the
hopelessness of attacking the American
position, and are occupied chiefly by oc
casional sharp-shooting from the jungle,
whenever feasible. Fortunately, their
Ignorance of the use of sights minimizes
the effect of their guerrilla tactics.

Mr. Howo Fall Iota tha Blvor Off the

Poetlaxd, Or. Feb. 20. -In the West
Side morgue liet the body of Mn. Howe,
of Gretbam. She fell from the a learner
Pomona thia morning before daylight,
and hall an hour afterward her body
waa foand fastened to tbe wheel of the
Undine, lying alongside of the Taylor
ttreet dock.
The unfortunate woman wat on ber
way to visit a ton in Salem.' Tbe Un
dine, Lurline and Toinona were lying;
tide by tide, with tbe latter on the out
aide and the Undine in the middle.
Just before the Bailing time of the Po
mona, Mrs. Howe crossed tbe decktof
tbe first tteamer to tbe Undine. The
bow of the Salem boat was quite a dis
tance from the Undine, but at the tear
the goarda of the two boats touched.
Watchman Winifred Copeland. of the
Undine, observed tbe woman and told
ahe could cross there. He says be saw
ber safely across and into tbe engine
room of tbe Pomona. She stepped back
to talk to a geutleman who waa with her,
be aays.
"Be careful,' be warned, as the took
another step outward, 'or you will step
into the water.' Just aa he spoke she
took the fata! step.
He grabbed at her and caught her
shawl. She slid through it and disap
peared into the dark waters.
"Catch my feet," aaid he to the other
man. 'and I will reach for ber.' Bat
the stranger was too excited. Cope
land then dove between the two boats,
but could not . find anything. About
half an hour afterwards the body waa
found beneath the wheel of the Undine
The Salem boat had then gone.
The body was taken to the morgue.
It is understood she has a son here be
sides tbe one in Salem.
The coroner's story tallies with that of
Mr. Copeland. The gentleman accom
paning Mrs. Howe was Rev. A. Lingrin,
of 333 East Ninth street. She stayed at
his house last night, and he accompa
nied her to the boat tbis morning. Mrs.
Howe has been staying with her son in
law, J. B. Smalley, of Greeham.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. The
greatest interest attended the discussion
of the Spanish treaty. While the people
were almost unanimously for the treaty,
the minority of tbe senate were some
striving to embarrass the administration
while others were like Hale of Maine
and Hoar of Mass.. relics of tbe old
federalist party that opposed tbe war
with England and all the expansion that
has given our nation room to broaden
and won us prestige for all time. Pitch
fork Tillman on the one hand and
Senator Hoar on the other hand, show
the extremes that composed the oppo
sition to expansion.
At an opportune moment, on tbe
Sabbath day, aa the church bells were
ringing, word came from far Manila that
Aguinaldo was bo encouraged by the
belief that he had allies in the American
senate, that he bad organised war and
attacked the American forces at night,
as Indians always de. They suffered
the necessary defeat ; that the result of
this treachery will show the world the
difference between the Anglo Saxon,
race and the common run of oriental
humanity. This lesson will make easy
the pacification of the Philippines. It
had to come ; statesmen at the national
capital feel easier; they only regret that
loyal and valuable American lives were
sacrificed to the hesitancy of the senate
and the perfidy and miserable ambition
of Aguinaldo. This opening of war
