Aftih President McKinley'e
return from bis Southern trip he
is reported to be inclined to an
nexation of the island of Cubs,
and ia said to be working hard to
have the peorle there become en
thused with this solution of a vexed
situation.
Vice-Peesident Hobabt is un
dergoing a severe attack of sick
ness. His main trouble seems- to
be caused by spells of coughing,
from which be becomes completely
exhausted, and his friends are not
allowed to see him for fear they
will talk to bim and thus bring on
. one of the trying spells after which
he is unable to sleep.
At 6:30 o'clock, on Sunday, tke
9th, Justice Stephen J. Field, of
the United States supreme court,
retired, died at his home in Wash
ington. Justice Field received his
appointment from President Lin
coln, and retired from his ardioue
duties on December 1, 1897. As
judge in the circuit, California
supreme and United States
supreme courts he had rendered
decisions in 1042 cases.
Through the courtesy of John
Minto, secretary board of hortcul
ture, Salem, we have received a
copy of the fifth biennial report of
that board. It contains 584 pages
of very interesting information to
fruit-growers. The recently pass
ed Morton law makes it a misde
meanor to throw cuttings or trim
mings from gardens, orchards or
hop yards from the premises of
the owner, or to keep them there
unconsumed by fire for a period of
more than 30 days, and ii punish
able by a fine of from $25 to $100.
It is profusely illustrated and is
furnished fruit-growers gratis. '
Fighting in Samoa, which was
thought to seriously endanger the
friendly relations between Ger
many and the United States turns
out to have been a blessing in dis
guise. At no time since the joint
treaty for the government of the
Samoan islands was entered into,
by Great Britian, Germany and
tho United States, have affairs
been entirely satisfactory to
anybody concerned. The fighting
has brought things to a focus, and
the three governments have agreed
to appoint a joint high commis
sion with authority to settle onoe
for all the permanent control of
the islands.
President McKinley is muob
pleased with the successful man
ner in which Gen. Otis has pros
seouted his Philippine campaign.
The organized rebellion is con
sidered practically at an end;
Aguinaldo is a fugitive, his capi
tal is in our possession and his
army is reduoed to bands of scat
tered bushwhackers, with little
probability of being able to get to
gether in sufficient numbers to put
up another battle against our
troops. When the circumstances
under which this campaign was
viotorously fought, are considered,
it refleots as much glory upon the
officers and men who participated
therein as any in whioh Amerioani
have been engaged.
It has been decided by the War
Department that the volunteers
now in the Philippines Bhall Dot
be mustered out as long as they
are needed. This refers to organ
izations. General Otis has discre
tion as to the mustering out of
individuals who have good reasons
for wishing to return home, and
special orders have been cabled
him to send all sick and wounded
men home: also to mark the caskets
as well as the graves of all dead
soldiers, so that there will be no
trouble about recognition when it
becomes feasible to bring the re
mains home. The decision to
keep volunteers in servioe in the
Philipines, although in accordance
with the provision in the army act
of the last congress, would prob
ably not have been made, if the
men had not, through General Otis,
asked to be allowed to remain in
service as long as there was fight
ing to da This decision makes it
certain that thirty-five thousand
volunteers, authorized by the army
act ffill not be enlisted, unless
something unexpected at this tima
shall make their seryioes neoes

A N1UHT ATTACK.
Rebels Trird to Capture American Outposts,
bat Were ttepnlscd With Loss.
Manila, April 11, 5:45 p. m. About
midnight tbe rebels oat the telegraph
line at several places between here and
Malolos, and signal Area were lighted
aud rockets sent up along the foothills
to the right of tbe railroad. Later tbe
enemy attacked tbe outposts of the Min
nesota regiment, at Bowen Bigaa and
Booave, five miles south of Malolos,
killing two men and wounding 14.
Simultaneously, tbe outposts of the
Oregon regiment at Marilao, tbe next
station on tbe way to Manila, were at
tacked, with tbe result that three Amer-
oana were killed and two wounded. Tba
loss of tbe enemy was 10 men killed and
six wounded. Tba Amerioans also cap-
tared two prisoners.
The troops were concentrated along
the railroad as tbiokly as possible, and
tba rebels were driven baok to tba foot
billa.
5:50 p. m It is supposed that many
of the rebels who attaoked General Mo-
Arthur's line of communication, and
who were repulsed by tbe troopa com.
manded by Oeneral Wbeatoo, were na
tives who entered the region in tba guise
of friendliea. They bad seemingly se
creted arms in several plaoes and fired
on the Amerioans from tbe bushes at ao
close a range that they oonld ba beard
talking.
One of the Filipinos yelled in English
"We will give yoa damned Amerioans
enough of this before we are through."
Tbe rebels undermined tbe railroad at
Marilao and nnspiked tbe rails in an
effort to wreok the train, while tbe rail
road gang participated in tbe fight. Tbe
work of tbe rebeia waa disoovered and
repaired before the train arrived.
