whom much credit is due for our ex-
cellent record, led the batting average.
He was at the bat sixty times and
made twenty-six hits, per cent. .432.
Belden, Cardinals great second base
player, came secon with 400. Then
Winston, Mckee, Woodward, Hume,
Tate, Rogers, Graves. Gwaltney and

Wwaltney 1874 and Lawson .918, Tate,

surrendered and Cavite has been evac-
uated by our troops. The Spanish
losses We're 300 men killed and 600 men
wounded. The enemy suffered consid-
erably. The Baltimore was damaged.
Our shells did not burst, and all the
enemy's shells burst. Admiral Dewey
has had a long conference with the
foreign consuls. The yankees o. and
burned the 'mercnantships. Corregi-
dor island was betrayed.
"One consultative assembly is discuss
ing the horrible situation created by
hunger and misery. We are isolated
by the blockade and are in fear of an
attack.
'Since the cable was cut, little news
has happened. The blockade contin-
ues; but, Admiral Dewey says, ne will
not lombard the town without his
governments orders. He also says
that he hopes that a general rebellion
will take place within four days. New
bands are on foot in Pamanga."
The Manila dispatch to The Liberal
also says the Panay insurgents have
been conquered and adds that armed
and uniformed bands OF insurgents
have appeared in the province of Capiz.
The Gamboles Island Luzon Militia,
it appears, is being organized for the
defense Of the province.

AMERICANS REPULSED.
10 a. MAN official dispatch received
her from Havana, dated yesterday
says: "Since day break today five of
the enemy's ships lave attempted to
cover landings at several points, but
the Americans were repulsed n re-
embarked their troops. las there were
no Spanish ships available, h troops
followed along the shore the move
ments of the Americans and prevented
their attempt to land. Two Americans
were captured, a Spanish officer was
killed an a few soldiers were wounded.
The conduct of the Spaniards is worthy
Of h highest praise. They fought the
enemy while the latter was backed by
big guns"

few words about the death Of Worth
Bagley. He was SO closely associated
with us, his brother came here, his
brother-in-law, his uncle and many rel
atives had been here. DR.. Alderman said
he could hardly realize that wal was in
the this country. While abroad in Eu-
rope all was excitement and war could
be plainly felt, but here he thought 1t
seemed like a minute war. Continuing he
said: But yesterdays paper brought the
u~npleasanteSt, Saddest news they have
contained in many years, he thought"
Any wal seems out Of place in this, the
last years of this Christian century, but
as long as men love country and honor
and have patriotism, wars would be. All
good men will pay tribute to this, the
first victim Of the American-Spanish
war. This death brings it home to US,
conclusive he said. He could not let
this opportunity pass without paying
some few words of tribute to this brave
young man who has died for his country.
