Friday morning the first engagement
in grim earnest between the attacking
forces of General Shafter on the one
hand and the Spanish troops on the
other, took place. 1t was a bloody,
bushwhacking sort Of a fight in the
dense Cuban jungle between dlsmounted
volunteers and regular cavalry and
body Of regular Spanish troops.
The men of the first volunteer cavalry,
commanded by Colonel Wood, better
known as Roosevelts rough riders, got
their baptism of fire. Many Of these
men are scions of the wealthiest fam
lilies of the land, men with Whit hands
and accustomed to luxury and ease
They fought like heroes. BY their sides
fought the hardy fellows of the First
and Tenth United States cavalry regi-
ments, who We'd with the volunteers
in daring acts and close, deadly marks
manship that presently drove the Span.
iards in confusion from the field.
More than a thousand men, dismount-
ed attacked the SpaniLrds, who were
1000 strong, in the thckets. The enemy
were fighting in a country with which
they were perfectly familiar, and from
cover. They resisted Nminedly al
first and poured a hail of mauser bullets
into the advancing Americans. Our
soldiers fell before the deadly storm, but
nothing could withstand their impet.
uous rush, and the enemy fled leaving
many dead. The Americans lost the
following:
Rough riders-Captain Allyn X. Cap
ron Of troop L; Sergeant Hamilton Fish.
Jr., Privates Dougherty, Tillman and
Dawson Of troop L, and Private w. T.
Erwin of troop F.
First cavalry-Privates Dix, York
Bjork, Kobe, Berlin and Lenmeck.
Tenth cavalry-Corporal White.
At least so Americans were wounded,
including six officers. Several of the
wounded will die. Twelve dead Span
iards were found in the bush after the
fight, but the spanish loss was doubt
less far in excess Of that.
Edward Marshall, correspondent Of
the New York Journal and Advertiser,
was seriously wounded in the small Of
the back, 1t is probable that at least 10
In the list of wounded will die.
The cavalrymen were afterward re-
Enforced by the Seventh, Twelfth, and
Seventeenth infantry, part of the Ninth
cavalry, the Second Massachusetts and
the Seventy New York. The Amer

THE CONNECTICUT MURDER.
Evidence That Miss GIL Met Death in
Nancy Guilford's House.

Evidence That Miss Gill Met Death in
Nancy Guilford's House.
Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. ga search
of Nancy Guilford's house yesterday
settled beyond a doubt that Emma
Gill died there, and II was also learned
that her death took place on Sunday,
the 18th inst Several incriminating
articles belonging to Mrs. Guilford
were found in the search of the prem
ises.
1t is believed that the first portions
of the dismembered body were thrown
into Yellow Mill pond between 10 and
IL o'clock Sunday night. Mrs GuilfoSd
hired a team from Bank BROTHERS, on
Broad street, that night, and was gone
two hours and the Monday night fol-
lowing she had the same team again,
and was gone until / o'clock the next
morning. Mrs. Casperine, who lives
on Cedar street, about 400 feet from
| the bridge where the bundle was
| thrown off into the pond, positively
| identified the team as one she saw
| being driven on the bridge about 1880
on the Sunday night in question, and
she also saw it return a few moments
| later.
Superintendent Birmingham stated
| last night that he expected to hear OF
! the arrest of Mrs. Guilford at any mo-
ment He was positive that she would
be in custody before many hours.

DANGER In SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's B1-
cessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but it was never in
tended for a medicine, and people who use it
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to re-
lieve heartburn or sour stomach Il habit which
thousands of people practice almost daily, and
one which is fraught with danger; moreover
the soda only gives temporary relief and in
the end the stomach trouble gets worse and
worse
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the
walls of the stomach and bowels and cases
are on record where it accumulated in the in
testines, causing death by inflammation or
peritonits.
Dr. Harlandson recommends the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspep-
sia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges,
very pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements essen
tial to good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment, sour
and poison the blood and nervous system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases OF
stomach arrangements and finds them GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach, but by
promptly dgesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They are
not cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at soc per package.

ach weakness and their cure mailed free by

FILIPINOS FINANCES.
rhe Insurgent Congress Discuss
ing Ways and Means. u.
A CONFLICT OVER TAXATION.

Inhabitants ofthe Northern Provinces
Flatly Refuse to Pay Taxes. Believ-
Ing the Revolutionary Party W ould
Abolish Taxation Altogether,
Manila, Sept. 26.-The Filipino con-
gress is engaged in the consideration
pf the question of raising funds to de-
fray the heavy expenses of the main
tenance of the army, pending a de-
Cision by the Paris conference. Hith
erto the army of the Fllipinos has been
chiefly supported by public subscrip-
ton, but now the native government
contemplates the imposition of various
taxes. The inhabitants of the northern
provinces, however, especially of Pam
pang and Ilocos, fatty refuse to pay
land or poll taxes, because it was the
popular impression that the revolution
lists would abolish taxation entirely.
The natives OF Pampang and Pan
eastman, the two richest agricultural
provinces of the island, and those of
Ilocos and Zambales, who are the
sturdiest mountaiReers, distrust the
Tagals and insist upon the establish
ment of an American protectorate.
On Saturday the assembly debated
the question of land tax. A ma
Jorlty of the members were opposed
to the maintenance of burden un-
equally distributed and unduly favor
ing the Tagals, and demanded that a
statement of expenditures be submit
ted before the matter was decided
The statement was not forthcoming
and the question was shelved.
Agunaldo realizes the difficulty OF
reconciling the conflicting interests, but
hopes that the nations will allow the
Fllipinos a fair chance to show that
they are capable of self government.
Agunaldo desires the newspapers tC
inform the world that there is con
! elusive evidence that many Spaniards
and priests are intriguing with a fac
| ton of the natives to foment dis
turbances, so that Americans will be.

reconcillable." He asserts that the in
l-trguers pay money and provide uni
forms to persons who impersonate rebe
officers and enter the town, and ac-
| cuses Eugene Blanco of being the
chief paid agent of these intriguers.

For. the priyflpuo

For the Privilege.
Washington Sept. 2G-A statement
was Issued by the war department last
night that the Cuban commission had
effected an arrangement with the
Spanish authorities whereby the steam
er Comal, carrying a cargo Of supplies
for the suffering people of Cuba, would
be permitted to land her cargo at Ma
tanzas free of duty. The stores will be
distributed under the direction Of a
commission TO be agreed upon by the
commission Of evacuation
This indicates the adjustment of a
question that promised for several days
TO become serious. The Spanish au-
thorties, still maintaining Spain's
right TO sovereignty over the Island Of
Cuba, refused to permit the Comal to
land at Havana without the imposition
upon her cargo of duties amounting to
100000. In addition to this, the YES
sells captain was fined for disregarSing
some port regulations unknown to him.
Against this proceeding the Ameri-
can commission strongly protested, ard
demanded the free importation of the
Comals cargo of supplies. 1t was
pointed out to the Spaniards that the
mission of the vessel was purely char
table, and that i'm any event the po-
sitiOn assumed by the Spanish officials
was not in accord with the provisions
of the protocol signed in this city by
Ambassador Cambon in the name of
Spain.
