ana was making rapid Roadway when the
engine reached the building Being under
the BiIou Theater, IT was believed the
names would burn through the ceiling and
perhaps reach the stage. This, il was
feared, would result in the destruction of
the entire building. The firemen, however,
We're equal TO the occasion, and soon had
the fire under control. Some live turkeys
and pigs in the store were rescued, al
though they We're badly scorched
Some time after the nre WAS extin-

war will be that now being organized and
to be commanded by Capt. Leonard Wood.

tenant colonel The regiment will be made
up wholly of hardy and game cowboys from
Arizona and other western states and ter
ritories.
Capt. Wood is the White House physician.
having succeeded the late Surgeon General
Bates. He has seen hard service in the
Indian campaigns of the west and is rec
ognized as of the same spirit as Theodore
Roosevelt. He has obtained the consent
of the President to leave his present posi-
ton and to organize the regiment
DIR. Wood was at the White House this
morning. paying probably his last profess
sional visit. He will leave for the south

assemble for duty. They will probably be
sent to San Antonio. Texas. to go into
camp. From there they will be sent to the
front. Capt. Wood thinks he will have the
regiment ready in ten days and hopes to
get orders to proceed at once to Cuba.
Capt. Wood said this morning: 1.-THE
regiment will be composed of / 600 Of the
healthiest, gamest and hardest cowboys
of the west. We will also pick men who
are dead Shots"

THE TILIpINOs.
From the Ee9aSka. Of saaissaSsstrerrr.
CONTEMPORARY. the F,ilipinn ie pcn

: From the remaHks
\ contemporary, the Filipino Y4fdepen-
II dencia, it seems that the reports Of
American victories In the Philippine Is
lands have been greatly exaggerated
In fact, if the assertions of this paper
may be taken as true. Uncle Sans
forces only indirectly assisted" the
insurgents in defeating the Spaniards
4 This will be a terrible blow TO the
credulity Of those foolish persons who
had been taught to believe that Dewey
smashed the Spanish feet in Manila
harbor. and who honestly thought that
American soldiers drove the forces Of
Spain from Cavite.
OF course. the Americans may dissent
from the views expressed by the indie
pendencia, to the extent OF thrashng
the obstreperous F'ilipinos as soundly as
they thrashed the Spaniards. AS ii is,
these followers Of Aguinaldo are get
ting entirely too fresh. When the
United States fleet appeared before Ma
Mia they promised all sorts of loyalty
and devotion TO the cause of Uncle Sam.
if he would only save them from the
direful effects OF Spanish oppression and
misrnle. Perhaps the Americans We're
foolish intrusting these protestations Of
affection to the extent of arming the
Filipinos, but the damage is now done,
and the horde OF semi barbarous natives
seem to he in proper humor to turn
The arms they received from the Amcri-
sans upon their benefactors and deliv-
Merers
This is most unfortunate and COM
Plex condition of affairs, but so long
$as Dewey remains on the scene. ma
$jority OF the American people will
have confidence in the final satisfactory
settlement OF all the difficulties that
may present themselves.

spoke of Gladstone as one of the fin
est and bodest riders he had ever
seen. Once, when chancellor Of the
exchequer, as he was taking his usu.
oil ride in Hyde park on q spirited
young horse, the horse plunged and
got away, ran off the ordinary track
OF riders, and came along a spread OF
turf, divided by railways and gates
OF slender iron. 1t went straight
over one Of the gateways, Gladstone
was determined to get the better Of
that horse. The moment the ,rse
leaped the gate, the rider turned
nm around and put aim at the gate
again. Again and again he topped
1t, and his master turncl him. and
made him 90 at 1t ono. more AMI bur.

went on. until the horse was fairly
but very harmlessly conquered, and
