- CAVITE. July 26, via HOngkong, Aug. l--Although driven back with some loss on the south side, the insurgents met better success in the new assault on the north side of the Manila de- lenses on Sunday. General Garcia led the attack The Spaniards were driven from their entrenchments in Cheese Cenletery at Lona. After hard fight ing the block house at that point was taken. The position at PagO5Yitas was stOrmed also. General Garcia occupied a part of the suburbs of Vomdo. The insurgents lost three killed and had a large humber of wounded.
 A native who has just come out of Manila reports that many wounded Spaniards were brought in from the front, but .ro dead. It is supposed they were buried where they fell. All the American troops in the second expedi- .tion are now encamped at Tanboon, on the south side of the city, in the rear of the insurgent position in front of Malate. The disposition of the insur- gent leaders 10 break away from American control increases.
 General x-guipaldo registered all the livestock and conveyances about the bay and instructed the owners to make no contracts for the transportation of supplies without his consent.
 !. General Anderson asked to be sup piled with animals for transportation, but Aguinaldo declined to furnish them until informed by General Anderson that he would seize them anyhow, when they were provided. The trans ports to-day are landing commissary supplies on the beach at Camp Dewey, Tamboon.
 . Last night the Boston signaled the flagship that the Spaniards had forced the rebels back on our camp. AS a sortie party was driving panic-stricken insurgents in upon the outposts of the Colorado regiments the entire camp Was called to arms. General Greene was hastily summoned from the steamship China, but the Spaniards fell back and the Americans did not come into action, though standing to arms until midnight. Later in the day the spanish center at Malate was with drawn a thousand yards. The insur gents did not move up because the abandoned ground was still swept by the spanish batteries at Malate maga zine and Santa Ana

It is believed the craft will prove only trif1ing obstruction, as the harbor entrance is fully 200 feet wide. There are now two Spanish torpedo boats and two small cruisers in the harbor.

Col. Myron H. McCord arrived from Whipple barracks Saturday night and spent yesterday at his new home on North Center street. IL will be ih Phoenix today yet, leaving for the barracks tonight. Gel. McCord, in common with others, has no positive knowledge as to what will be done with the regiment of volunteers under his command. Reports have been cir culated that they are to be mustered out of the service, but Col. McCord is led to believe that such reports are erroneous. Lieut.. Catron of his command, a son of ex-Delegate Catron of New Mexico, received a letter a day or two ago from his father, who is now in Washington, stating that the regiment had been assigned to General Lee and will see service in the army of occupa- ton in Cnba.

"BLIND TOM" AS HE'S TO-DAY.
His Passion for Music is Just as Strong
 as it Ever Was.


 "The name Thomas Wiggin
 means nothing to the majority o
 readers" writes John J. a' Becke in the September Ludies' Hon, Journal. "But Thomas Wiggins il Blind Ttm,' name familiar tt hundreds of thousands in thi! country and abroad, who have heard the piano played by this wonderful negro. The impression l that he IS dead is pretty rnnera' one. AS q matter Of fact, Blind Tom has never been iII day in lls ! life On the banks Of the Shrew- sbury RIyer, in @ domain of over two hundred acres Of woodland, stands a picturesque two-and-a- half-story wooden house with a broad veranda. Here Blind Tom is at home.
 "His hands are not at all piano hands, In place of the slender, long-tngered hands which one so often Sees in great pianists, Toms hands are small and plump, with the thumbs and taperlng fingers quite short.
 "The strongest impression I bore away was that of the sweet, con- tented life the poor, blind negro is leading. There was pathos in it. I had expected to find wonder at the piano, and did, for his un- taught mastery of the instrument is marvellous. From the time when the Bethune family left the dinner table to see who could be playing on the piano, and discovered the sightless pickaninny of four years perched on the stool, his little hands plucking uncanny melody from the keyboard-from that time until now he has had an unwaver- ing devotion to the instrument whose music is his fife"
 "T0m's head and face are not wholly unatractiye. He has often been described os 8 repuisive i'm beetle except during his moments at ths piano. This is not so. His head IS small but well shaped His features are ol q otIohe A4.-u~- Jpa, with low forehead, large eyes, nose and mouth, and a general heaviness rather than weakness, His skin is not perfectly black. In his ap- pearance and in his manner of speaking when addressed he shows intelligence and dignity, with quite 3 pride of his own at times. There is a respectfulness in his air and pose which recalls the fact that he was a slave for nearly twenty years.
 "Tom is of a religious turn of mind. He will play only sacred music on Sunday. He says the Lords Prayer in his rom aloud, and is fond of reciting passages from the Holy Scripture, being fond of Saint Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians.
 "He has made fortunes, first for Colonel Bethune, who bought his Charity Wiggins, then the blind baby was thrown in; then for John s. Bethune, and lastly for ,he widow of John Bethune, who is now the wife of the lawyer, Albert J. Lerche, at whose residence he ives"
