Regulations for Its Collection and
Definition of the Article.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The commissioner
of internal revenue has prepared regulations
which are to govern the collection Of the tax
on mixed -four under the provisions of the
new war revenue act. The law provides.
among other things, that every person, firm
mixed -four shall pay a special tax of $12 per
annum, and shall plainly mark or brand each
package containing the same with the words
less than two inches in length, together with
the true weight of such package. the names
Of the ingredients composing the same, the
where made or packed. similar notice
shall be placed inside each package. Viola
lions of the provisions Of this act are pun
ishable by a fine of not less than $3.50 and
Lot more than $500, or Imprisonment for not
less than ten days or more than one year.
Mixed -four packages may not be used again;
and q prescribed cautfonary notice Is required
to be placed upon each package which may
contain not to exceed 1913 pounds. An ad-

Of mixed -four is levied at the rate Of &c per
barrel containing 1876 pounds or more than
SO pounds, cents on every half barrel, and
1 cent on each quarter barrel, and one-half
cent on each eighth barrel.
The most important of the regulations Is
the definition of the words mixed -four, -
which is as follows:
"The term mixed -four Is held by this
Office to mean the food product which arises
from the milling Of wheat into -four to which
Is added in milling other grain or other ma NJ
manufactured product of other grain or other
material. The principal constituent part of
the food product thus defined is to be wheat
or when the product contains any wheat
-four, and the same is intended for sale, or
is sold or offered for sale as wheat flour.
This construction Of the term mixed -four
does not include the milling product from
corn, rye, buckwheat rice or other cereals
than wheat put upon the market as the flour
or meal derived from such cereals, although
the product may contain percentage OF
wheat -four.
"The addition to wheat flour either in mill
ing or afterwards of baking powders, yeasts.
phosphates or other material or substances
other than wheat -four by the manufac-
turers, packers. repackers and sellers, is

| not apply to bakers. cooks and others who
mix such ingredients with wheat -four In
| order to facilitate its use for culinary pur-
poses"

could be seen lying In blood red water,
but neither the elements Of heaven nor
the destructive power of man could
wiring cry of protest from the wound
ed. They encouraged their comrades to
fight and handed over their cartridge
belts.
During the night the Spanish scouts
were seen carrying off dead and wound
ed of the enemy. The American dead
were buried next day in the Convent of
Maracaiban.
On the night Of Aug. 1 the fighting
was renewed, but the enemy had been
taught a lesson and made the attack
at long range with heavy artillery. The
Utah battery replied and the artillery
duel lasted an hour. One man was
killed. He was Fred Springsted. First

on the night of Aug. 2 the artillery
duel was renewed Two men were
badly wounded and are this morning
reported dead, which brings the total
dead to thirteen. with ten in the hos

Gen Green issued this address to
the troops:
Camp Dewey, Near Manila.-The
brigadier general commanding desires
to thank the troops engaged last night
for gallantry and skill displayed by
them in repelling such a vigorous at
tack by largely superior forces of
Spaniards. Not an inch of ground was
yielded by the Tenth Pennsylvania in
fantry and Utah artillery stationed in
the trenches.
"A battalion of the Third artillery
and First regiment California infantry
moved forward to their support through
a CALLING fire, with the utmost intrep-
idity. The courage and steadiness
shown by all in their engagement is
worthy of the highest commentator"

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-This town is better
pleased over the Hobson-Arnold kiss than it
would be if it had warship named for It.
The people here are very patriotic, and the
whole city is ringing with the story Of the
kiss imprinted on the cherry lips of Miss
Emma Arnold by the hero of Santiago de
Cuba bay. Miss Arnold is beauty even
among the famed beauties of St. Louis. She
is belle in the very best Jewish society in
town. She lives with her mother and brother
in pretty home at 41O1 Morgan street
While Miss Arnold's circle of friends is
quite large since the kissing episode, 1t
seems as If everybody in St. Louis knows
her. Certainly nearly everybody claims to
know her by sight at least and when the
young lady returns she will be surprised to
find how extensive her acquaintance is
Miss Arnold made her debut two years ago
at the big ball of the Columbian club. and
her beauty bedazzIed all who were fortunate
enough to see it. Her face and figure are
simply perfection, and while everybody is
cengratulating her on having been kissed by
ltobson there are those who think the young
lieutenant should come in for his share Of
the handshaking.
st. Loutsans consider that their town has
pulled off" all the honors Of the war, and
when Richmond Pearson Hobson comes here
he will be welcomed enthusiastically not onlv
because he sunk the Merrimac but also for
showing courage in another affair of a kind
which many brave man has ffinched before

enthusiasm and inspiring them with
confidence.
1.-THE Spaniards. whose losses in the
engagement are not known, are adopt
ing tactics intended to irritate the
Americans. Every might they maintain
an annoying fire. They have now got
the range Of the earthworks, and their
shell and shrapnelI firing is very &C

"On Monday night the American loss
was one killed and five wounded, and
on Tuesday might two killed and six
wounded.
This percentage is heavy, consider
ing the men were well entrenched and
that there has hardly been any fight
ing in the open.

rived Sunday, Is landing today through

than a thorough wetting has occurred

without considerable danger. Hardly

Even the Rich Can No Longer Secure
Adequate Food.
MANILA. July so (via Hong Kong.
Aug. 9).-The scarcity of food now af-
fects even the richest class in Manila.
There is no meat, bread or flour, ex-
cept very small reserves, chiefly laid
under requisition for the Spanish
troops. The newspapers, though rig
idly censored, admit that the famine
and the unprecedented rains are caus-
ing an epidemic. They pretend that
the disorders are trivial intestinal all
ments; but it is believed most of them
are dysentery, due to Wretched food
and the dangerous character of the
water. A number of important per-
sons are i'll. An abattoir has been es-
tablished for slaughtering horses and
dogs. They also admit that the mill
tary bakers are reduced to the neces-
sity of using rice, the stock Of which
will shortly be exhausted. The stock of
fuel, too, Is exhausted and the bakers
are burning doors and window frames.
1t is impossible to eat uncooked rice
A decree has been issued authorizing
the entry Of private premises and the
seizure of cattle and horses there for
a nominal payment, made in worthless
drafts. Several animals belonging to
British owners have been taken, though
there were plenty belonging to Span
ish owners that had not been seized.
An attempt was made to seize the in
dispensable ponies Of the consular post
men, and considerable Indignation has
been expressed. There may be some
trouble over it.

Admiral Kirkland, United States
Navy, Submits to an Operation.
VALLEJO, CAL, Aug. 9.-Rear Admiral
Kirkland today underwent a severe opera
ton, upon the outcome of which depends his
chance for life. Only few days ago he was
enjoying the best Of health. Today he has
but one chance to live, and that depends on
the success Of the surgical operation peri
oormed this afternoon. Drs. Wagner and
Hibbitt. Of the navy. have been attending
him, and Sunday DR.. Carpenter was called
into consultation. The patient grew worse
and this morning the tug Vigilant was sent
to San Francisco under full speed to bring
up DR.. W. G. Taylor, formerly of the navy.
One gallon of blood was drained from the pa
tents stomach. This afternoon an incision
was made in his right side in the hope Of To-
eating the source of the trouble. An Asso-
ciated Press representative interviewed DR..
G. T. Hibbftt just after the operation was
performed. The doctor said:
1.-THE operation was highly successful and
most satisfactory. The admiral was placed
under the influence Of ether. and DR.. Taylor
and I performed the operation which,
through the rapid location of the seat of
trouble and the short time required to con-
summate the work of relief gives the pa
tient the most favorable chances of recovery.
The report that blood vessel Of the stomach
had burst was untrue, as intestinal obstruc-
ton was what allied him. Had the surgical
operation been postponed twenty hours the
illness would have proved fatal. or at least
been go intensified that it would have been
almost hopeless. -

LONDON, Aug. 1O-The correspond
ent of the Times at Cavite, with Gen.
Green's brigade, under date of Aug. 3,
says:
"A heavy monsoon has been blowing
since Sunday, and deluges of rain have
greatly increased the difficulty of land
ing and moving the troops and multi
piled the discomforts in camp, which
We're already almost uncomfortable.
LAS 1 anticipated, Gen. Green's bri-
gade is the focus of the active land
campaign. Already the troops are in
constant and close touch with the en-
envy. On Friday morning a battalion,
consisting of the First Colorado. under
Lieut.. Col. Mccoy, with four guns of
the Utah battery, commanded by Capt
Young, grandson of the Mormon
prophet, occupied the line fifty yards
in advance of the insurgents, between
the beach and Gale Real, and 1900
yards from a formidable earthwork sit
uated at the southern end of Malate,
the foreign residential quarter of Ma
Mia. After sixteen hours of continu-
Gus labor the work Of entrehchment
was complete, the enemy not firing a
shot until the Americans INDUCED in
sharpshOoting.
Saturday was comparatively quiet
and so was Sunday until nightfall,
when the Tenth Pennsylvania, Col
Hawkins commanding, occupied the
trenches, with some desultory picket
firing. At Il: so p. m. the enemy, esti-
mated at $500 strong, opened fire Wig
orously under cover Of the dense I'M
dergrowth. Their movements We're
further hidden by the floods of rain.
The PennsylvanianS met the attack
with a succession of volleys, covering
their right with two companies station
ed in the swamp beyond the entrench-
ments. r..
After about three-quarters of an
hour two companies of the Third reg
ular artillery, under Maj. O'Hara, ar
rived at double-quick to relieve the
Pennsylvanians, whose ammunition
was almost exhausted. They soon sill
enced the enemy's fire
THE First California, under Col
Smith. and the First Colorado, under
Col. Hale, acted as supports. The af-
fair lasted two hours. But, notwith-
standing the tremendous fusillade and
the heavy she'll fire, only ten Amer
leans were killed and forty-six wound
ed, though there were some casualties
among the supports, while during the
advance Of the relieving battalions the
only officers wounded were Capt Rich
ter, of the First California, wounded
seriously in the head, and Capt. Hobbs,
of the Third artillery, wounded slightly
IN the leg.
