MANILA, June tf-60.' p. m.-tieneral
Law to i tne xiK CtiMly stirred up one of
the liveliest engaKenvrK of the war
south of l Plnas this morning, upon
which occasion the American field guns
were engaged 'n their first artillery duel
against a Filipino buttery concealed In
the Jungle.
Companies F and I of the Twenty.rlrst
Infantry were nearly surrounded by a
la rev body of Insurgents, but the Arner
cans cut their way out with heavy losses.
The turret ship Monadncjck and the gun.
limit Helena and Zaflro trained Their
batterle.s on ltakoor and the reM trench
es near Ijis Plnas ult the morning. Ra.
koor was once on fire, but 'the natives
stopped the spread of the flames, Purlng
the night the Insurgent's cannon was
fired three times nt the Americans on the
outskirts of Iai9 Plnas.
Lawton this morning took a battalion
f the Fourteenth regiment nnd two com
panics of the TwentyWlrnt reglmen( to
locate the rtdud's battery, and then iwb
guns of the Slxfh artillery and four
mountain guns were planted ag.ilnst It.
Th,. rebels had a large gun, from which
thev were firing homemade cannlster
und bombs loaded with nails, and two
smaller guns. Their shooting was most
accurate. The tlrt lot of cannlMter
htirft directly In front of Scott's lines,
and another shuttered the leg of a prl
vale In tlio Fourteenth Infantry. The
iiiint ry traversed was ns bad as It Is
possible to Immaglne. being mainly la.
goons of mud und water, fringed with
bamboos.
As soon as the ftghtinft opened, the
Americans wero attacked by hidden rifle
men on all sides, even Amlgos, or
"Frlendlles." the natives In the houses
of th. town shooting in their rear. Sev.

ANOTHER CYCLONE
The Town of Herman, Nebraska,
Completely Wiped Out.
Fatalities of a Hunjrtd or More and
Wreckage Strewn in Every
Direction.
OMAHA, Jun 13 A tornado struck the
town of Herman, In Washington county,
this evening und wiped the place out
of existence.
Herman Is a place of about 3.D inhabi.
tants In the extreme northern part of
Washington county. It is on tne line ol
the nilcago. S:. Paul. Minneapolis and
Omaha railway. A conductor on the
evening train from Sioux City passed
through tho town not long after the
storm and he says not a building is left
standing. He himself counted 12 dead
bodLa lyiii In the streets. The iatal
ltU will undoubtedly run up to UXi, If
not higher.
A scclal train has left Rlair. the
co untyseat. for the scene of the dls.
aster, carrying nungeong and all needed
supplies. The wires are all down north
of Herman and It Is not known how
much further norfh the storm went, but
reports are coming In to the effect that
a large portion of the country north of
Herman la laid waste.
The entire eastern portion of Nebraska
Is being swept by a rain, wind
and electric storm tonight. The streets
of Omaha are flooded and the p'.ay of the
lightning Is something fearful.
Advices received by the Bee up to 11
o'clock twnlght state that every building
In Herman was destroyed except the
pubilo school and one small dwelling,
both of which are on the outskirts. The
force of the wind was terrific and scarce
ly one plejo of the many structures
destroyed was left Intact.
W risked buildings and broken furn!.
ture. scarcely recognizable In 1U dilapi
dated condition, are strewn all around,
while dead bodies lie In many pluees, the
corpses badly disfigured and some of
them hardly recognizable. The moans
of the Injured, mingled with the calls of
the resetters as they pursue their human.
Itarlati work In the dark by the flickering
gleams of lanterns. The relief train from
Hlalr arrived about anhour after the
storm and the work of picking up the
wounded was begun.
In the course of an hour the train
pulled out for Blair with 95 Injured on
board. They were taken o Blair as
there) is absolutely no place left at Her
man at Which treatment could be ad.
ministered. All the citizen of Blair have
thrown open their houses to the wounded.

was one of the ooiest and best workers

but whose chano-s for recovery were be.
lleved to be good, were quickly sent to
the hospitals of St. Paul and Minneapolis,
where better care ran be given them.
The slightly Injured and those whose
chances semed holx-less. were kept here
and were given the best attention pos
sible. The list of dead gradually increased
during the day, and tonight it seemed
that 1"0 might be the minimum estimate
of the dead, while the list of injured
