Manila, via Hong Kong, June T.
The Spanish outposts have been
driven in all along the line, simultan-
eously and with great slaughter. 1t
is said that over 1000 have been killed.
There has been fierce hand-to-haDd
fighting for 70 hours, despite ty-
phoon which ragged. The violent winds
and the torrents of rain rendered the
rifles of the Spanish troops unavail-
ing. The natives easily won at every
step with their slashing knives.
The insurgents hold Malabaon, Tar
lac and Bacoo. They are now attack
ing Santa Mesa and Violate, the sub
urbs of the city, which is completely
encircled for distance of seven miles.
A native regiment, under Col. Aguin-
aldo, cousin of the insurgent leader,
has joined the insurgents. The gov
ernor has issued despairing procla-
nation, begging the insurgents to
come to terms, and meanwhile he Is
arranging to remove all the Spanish
population inside the old walled city.
He is filling the moats, testing the
drawbridges and placing strong
guards in the principal streets and
artillery along the walls.
London, June 7.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Standard says:
"Advices from Manila say that Nd
miral Dewey has gathered the steam
ers now blockaded in the river
off Cavite in readiness to receive for
eigners. The Spaniards are losing
arms, ammunition and field pieces al
most daily, so persistent are the
rebels attacks. The natives are
1ocking to Aguinaldo's standard. He
is conducting the campaign on hui
name principles.
"In the course of pitched battle on
May 30, a number of native auxiliaries
deserted the Spanish colors for the in
surgents. Judging from the general
tenor of the news from Manila. there
is reason to believe that the city will
fall into Dewey's hands before the
arrival of the American troops."

Washington, June 6.-Ths following
is q letter from Lieut.. Carranza, .
Spanish naval officer, that has created
a sensation in Canada. 1t is dated
Montreal, May 26, 1898.
ITO His Excellency, Senior Don Jose
Gomez Ismay:
ut was my belief that they would
have appointed you to command the
Cadiz fleet, and it was my intention
to have sent you a telegram asking
that you take me with you to meet
you in the Antilles, or wherever you
might say. The case has not turned
out thus, however, and it seems as
though God were not on our side, be-
cause the election of Senior Camara, I
fear, will be fatal, although he may
have good chief of staff. No one
could possibly suit him, because he Is
very capricious, and besides is not a
hard worker.
II shall leave the service when this
war is finished. have been left here
to receive and send kilograms and to
look after the spy service which l have
organized, or, l had better say, am es-
tablishing here, because until a very
little while ago 1 was not permitted
to do as l pleased. We have had bad
luck because they have captured our
two best spies, one in Washington,
who hanged himself-or else they did
1t for him-and the other day before
yesterday in Tampa. The Americans
are showing the most extraordinary
vigilance. do not wish to remain
here without taking an active part in
the war, and l desire duty in which I
can take the initiative and do some
thing.
"If the Cadiz squadron is to come to
lombard Boston,. Portland and Long
Island, they can do it now, but after
few months it will be too late. I
think II we are to have any success in
this matter it will be through treating
for peace by yielding Cuba and having
them recognize the debt. If we do not
do this soon it will be too late and we
shall lose Cuba and Porto Rico and all
that this war has cost us, and in addi-
ton we shall be charged with the
Cuban debt, for which our treasury is
responsible. There is no doubt here
that we cannot continue this war, in
which we have nothing to gain and
may lose our three colonies and be
ruined for so years"

A HERO OF MANILA DIES.

Captain Gridley, Who Commanded the
Olympia, Admiral Dewey's Flagship
! succumbs to Injuries Received During
the Fight on May 1.
Washington, June 5.-Capt. C. V.
Gridley, commander of the cruiser
Olympia, and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory at Manila, is dead.
The announcement of his death was
received by the navy department late
Sunday afternoon in cablegram from
Paymaster Gait, of the navy dated at
Kobe, Japan, June f. and directed to
Secretary Long. The dispatch con-
tanned this simple announcement:
Capt. Gridley died to-day. Remains,
accompany me on Coptic."
Capt. Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is direct result of the
war with Spain. AS the commander
of Admiral Dewey's flagship and one
of the admiral's chief advisers, Capt.
Gridley achieved distinction at the
battle of Manila and added to his pre-
vious laurels by winning high praise
from his superiors in the service for
distinguished gallantry and ability,
He fought his ship from the coming
tower, while Admiral Dewey directed
the movements of his squadron from
the bridge of the vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Capt. Grid
ley had suffered from it, and even now
the precise nature of his trouble is not
disclosed.
1t is evident now that he considered
his case serious, as he did not commu-
nicate with any member of his family
after the battle of Manila. Capt. Grid
ley was not ''dress parade" officer.
Among the older officers, however, es-
pecially among those with whom he
served, he had the reputation of being
one of the best equipped officers of the
navy. He was regarded as one of the
best nari~ators in the service.
Disp; tches from Manila concerning
the battle indicated that Commodore
Dewey had the utmost confidence in
Gridley; that he never interfered in
The slightest degree with his manage
ment and handling of the ship; that
he told him to fire whenever ready, and
that the broadside which sunk the
flagship of the Spanish admiral was
Gridley's own conception and act, and
in fine that in the entire battle the
Olympia was handled superDly.
Capt. Gridley leaves wife and three
children, two daughters and son.
Capt. Gridley was born in Logans-
port, Ind, in 1S45, but was appointed
to the naval academy from Hillsdale,
Mich, in 1860, the Gridleys having re-
moved from Indiana to Michigan.

An Oficial Report from SchIoy.

Washington, June 4.-The navy de-
partment has received an official re-
port from Commodore Schley regard
ing his recent attack on the fortifica-
tions at Santiago de Cuba. 1t was read
at Fridays cabinet meeting. Schley
says that his attack was made for the
purpose of developing the enemy's po-
sition, to locate their batteries. etc.
In that respect it was, he says, entire
ly successful. Not one of his vessels
was touched by the enemy's volleys
aud there were no casualties on his
vessels. He says that he has no doubt
that Cervera's feet is inside Of the har-
Dor Of Santiago.

saws, that a loaded wagon will draw
easier when the greater part Of the load
is placed over the front wheels. AS a
rule, the horse will do his work more
easily if he is placed near It; there be-
ing less lost motion. The driver also
will be able to keep his opera tons more
completely under his control. In the
case just cited the opposite Of the gen
eral superstition is true. This IS due to
a difference in the size Of the fore and
hind wheels. The surface over which
load is drawn being more or less thick
" set with obstacles over which the
wheels must pass, it stands to reason
that wheel with diameter of five feet
will be much more easily raised over a

load brought to a curbstone six inches
in height, over which 1t must be raised,
the load on the fve-foot wheels will be
brought over one-third easier than an
equal load on the four-foot wheels, be-
cause the leverage IN the first case is
one-third greater. It must not be sup

move altogether in the wrong direction,
for the greater width of tire preventing
the wheel from sinking so deeply into

DOCTORS EXPERIENCE.
That Should Teach Country
People q Lesson

The condition Of country roads af-
fects the rural doctor perhaps quite as
much as anybody, especially as his du-
ties compel him to use them pretty con-
stantly, no matter what shape they may
happen to be in. A Bloomington pa
per says that a physician in a small
Illinois town has lately had life made
a burden to him by the roads over. or
rather through, which he had to travel.
I'm some places the mud is actually a
foot and half deep. It is at times al
most impossible for a horse to get
through it.. Yet he has calls to make
a distance of ten miles OR more over
that kind of roads. Recently he was
on good horse galloping through the
mud, in spite of the fact that, at every
jump the horse went over his ANKLES
when the horse slipped and fell. The
doctor was thrown bodily over ditch
of water, while the horse went into the
ditch head first. The soft ground let
both rider and horse escape unhurt,
but they were both so covered with
mud that it was impossible to tell
what color they were. The doctor had
on waterproof and did not get wet
He caught the horse, mounted and
went on. It was not an unusual oc-

PLUGGING THE PLANO.
MI. GO2zleby Finds Temporary Relief
krom the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

1T is familiar fact" said Mr.. Gozzleby,
or it Is a fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time. All children Ike to make all
the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal is put
on am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resounding of the notes fairly racks me.
''Of course, can't be forever saying don't,
and it's ungracious to say it at al, I suppose,
for why shouldn't the children have their
fun? And so I hit upon the desperate ex-
pedient Of blocking the heavy pedal I have
whitfield out a nice little piece of soft white
pine into a plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which it
works., so that the pedal cannot be de-
pressed.
1T has only been there two days now, but
it has been two days of blessed relief It
can't last much longer, because the children
are liable to ask me any minute what's the
matter-I wonder they haven't asked me
long ago-and of course I'll have to tell 'em.
but 1 am grateful for the rest I have had, and

Kidding the Soil of Ants.

In sandy soils especially, ants are
oftentimes troublesome and more or
less of an annoyance On trees, shrub
berry and plants. They may be de-
stroyed by pouring tablespoonful of
bisulphide, of carbon. into the ant hill
and closing the opening with soil The
liquid will permeate the soil in every di-
rection and kill all animal life, while
being harmless to vegetation. As it
is exceedingly inlammable, it must be
kept carefully away from fire. A rem
edy quite as effective and less danger
Gus to handle is sweet oil. Place this
where the ants can get it and they will
come in quantities. The oil renders
them unconscious. and those not killed
by it may be quickly gathered and de-
stroyed.-Prairie Farmer.
