been made thus far in modern naval
warfare. Their total results were IL

The Whitehead torpedo il the only
automobile torpedo which has ever been
used In war and is practically the only
torpedo in use today. The United States
was the last leading nation to adopt the
Whitehead, the navy departments delay
ing action with the hope that an Amer.
ican engineer would produce the White

That the torpedo stands today - the
most wonderful and terrible of modern
engines of war is not to DO doubted. but
it has had no real test Of its power. Ma

HONG KONG, June 2l.-AccOrsling to
advices from Manila dated June II, it
was reported there that General Monet,
coming southwark with 5000 mixed
troops from Balacan, 80 miles north Of
Manila, found the railway line block
AIDED and was taken in ambush by the
insurgents. Severe fighting ensued and
was carried on for three days, during
which General Monet was killed. The
native troops joined the insurgents and
the Spaniards who We're left, about 800,
surrendered.
A battalion at Champaign of native
militia, supposed to be particularly
loyal began shooting its officers and
killed five, when the insurgents at
tackled Marabon. The Spanish succeeded
in disarming and imprisoning portion
of them, but they escaped when the
insurgents captured Marathon.

result that insurgent riflemen are fire.

cover and firing upon the Spaniards
from behind.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press pays a daily visit to the outposts
at TOndO, Santa Jera, Santa Ana and
Malite, but there is no perceptible move
ment, though there is constant firing
which for the most part is ineffective.
Nothing is visible among the trees. The
insurgents, who fire sparingly, draw
abundant Spanish vOlleys, and espe-
cially at night. The Spaniards inces-
sanity squander tons of ammunition
into the shadows of the thicket, appar-
emily In the hope of quickly exhausting
their stock and being in a position to
surrender honorably after q hopeless
fight.
In the meantime the Spanish COM
manders have been ordered to burn the
villagers huts outside the town so as to
deprive the enemy of shelter and hun
dreds of peaceful natives are homeless.
There was great feast at Cavite ON
June IL, when q declaration Of indie

Ohm Philip Sousa, the "Alarch

published comp ,>ilions with the
BlakcIv estate. / hls is the decision
of the referee III Il SUIT brought 10y
the estate
In 1892, y. Blakely of Bradford,
VT. made Il five wears contract with
Sousa whlth provided that Blakely
as manager should share equally
with >ousa the profits of all the lat
tcr's compositions as well as of the
band concerts.
In 1896 the contract was renewed
for three wears. Two months after
this renewal Blakelv died and Sousa
claimed that his death terminated
the contract. Suit was brought by
the estate.
The referee decides that the con-
tact in as far as it covered concerts
was annullcd but that the Blakely
estate had continued right to one
half of all the royalties from the
compositions us long us they should
be earned without respect OF time.
The amount involved may reach
us much as $4,000 Il year The
matter will be appealed to hiphei
