Philippine Islands.
Manila, P. l., Oct. IS, 'oS.
1t is raining today, one of
those Philippine mists, that
two hours of the same kind of
rain would wash all the soil
off Camas prairie into the
Clearwater river. We have
had about FIVE or six weeks of
very fine weather, only very
warm during the day time,
and raining nearly every night.
From the middle Of August to
the middle of October is one
of the dry seasons in this
country. We welcome the
rain, as it cools the atmos-
phere and gives us a show to
sleep nights. The boys of our
Co. and regiments are in the
main healthy; a good deal
more so than we expected,

are from one to four of the
boys go to the hospital for a
day or two with dysentery or
ear troubles, but taking it all
through we are standing it
pretty we'll. Of course we
have all lost considerable flesh.
l have lost twenty two pounds,
and all of the boys are about
in the same fix; but we expect
the cool weather will help us
out, which, according to the
"oldest inhabitant," will last
from now until the First Of
February. All the trees are
very shady and carry Their
thick foliage all the year

Confirmed From London.

London, Aug. "a dispatch from
Hongkong says: 1.-The German steamer
Petrarch left Manila August 9Th, and
has arrived here. She reports that the
Spanish soldiers at Manila attacked
the American camp on the night Of
July 31st. The Spanish forces were
over 5000 strong. They charged the
American line several times. The fire
broke the Spanish center and they re-
treated. Later they made a second
charge but shortly retreated to the
bushes, keeping up an incessant fire.
Eleven Americans were kill ed and
wounded. Spanish losses
reported great. During the fighting
the rebels remained neutral"

the footsteps of the soldier, and at the

rider of the horse and the soldier met
close to her hiding place and stopped
to talk. She looked out through the
brush and saw that the man on the

Can 1t be possible that we are going
to get him at last?"
AS Izora heard these words, In her
surprise and horror she almost sprang
to her feet. She had heard her peo-
pie talk SO much about the war and
how he and his little band of patriots
were struggling to free Cuba from the
tyranny Of the Spaniards. Now, as
she heard the plan to massacre Gomez
and his men, it made the cold chills
run over her, and her heart thumped
and pounded until 1t seemed to her that
the men in the road must hear it. Hold
ing the dog under her arm, she slowly
and carefully crawled through the
brush Her whole heart filed with
one great desire to reach Gen. Gomez
and warn him OF the danger into which
he was marching. Finally, after she
had gotten a few yards away, she re-
leased the dog, who still, intent on
play. nipped at her heels and gave
sharp bark. She seized him and again
held him SO that he could not make
noise. and then listened.

tried to push his head around with her
hand to turn him up the road; but
with mulish stubbornness he persisted
in standing and looking at the oncom-

couple of rods away, with a curse, the
scout raised his revolver and fired. Tbs
ball pierced one of old Don's ears, and
with wild snort the animal tossed his
head in the air, whirled on his hind
feet and ran like the wind, leaving
such cloud Of dust behind that it was
impossible for the scout to shoot with
accuracy at either mule or rider While
luck, there was loud clatter of horses
feet, and the next instant the officer,
mounted on his powerful horse, dashed
past him in pursuit of the flying mule

bend in the road old Don found him
self face to face with General Gomez's
army. In his surprise he stopped as
suddenly as he had started, and little
Izora went on over his head landing
in the dust. The mule stood with his
feet braced and his ears tipped forward,
a perfect picture of stubbornness; and
curiosity shone from his eyes, as II he
was trying to decide whether this was
friend or foe.
The next instant as the Spanish OFF,
Ger came riding around the bend in the
road, a dozen rifle shots rang out upon
the air and both horse and rider fell
to the earth to rise no more.
General Gomez's soldiers picked up
little Izora, and when she told her
story the General took her up in his
arms and kissed her again and again,
and tears dropped from his eyes.

BATTLE AT MANILA.
BATTERY A, UTAH VOLUNTEERS,
IN THE ENGAGEMENT.
Spaniards Attacked Position Held by the
Americans and Were Repulsed With
Heavy Losses-American Loss
90 In Killed and Wounded.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.-The Utah
boys of battery A, who sailed for Ma
Mia on the second expedition. have
had taste of war. An advanced posi-
ton they were holding, together with
the First battalion California, Tenth
Pennsylvania and First battalion Third
artillery, regulars, was stormed by the
Spaniards on the night of July 81.
The attack was repulsed with heavy
losses to the Spanish troops, estimated
at 500 Killed and wounded. About
fifty in killed and wounded was the
loss to the Americans.
Immediately after the arrival of
General Merritt, which occurred about
July 20, news of active operations was
expected. His plans were to demand
the surrender of the city, and to take
steps to enforce the demand if neces-
sary. 1t was not expected, however,
that the Spaniards would be the ag-
gressors. Like the campaign atSanti-
ago, it was supposed they would lie In
wait in trenches and behind breast
works and await the coming of the
enemy.
One Of the first acts of Merritt was
to surround the city of Manila, gener-
ally placing the troops Immediately
behind the insurgents. In some cases,
however, where there were particu-
larly favorable positions, our troops
either displaced those of Aguinaldo or
moved up in front. 1t was one of the
latter that the Spaniards attacked, and
the losses shey sustained shows that
the attack was fierce.
On the American side it was particu-
larly an artillery engagement. The
attacking forces were probably in
fantry, seeking to capture some big
guns for defensive purposes, of which
they are believed to be sorely in need.
Battery A, the Utah battery which
was in the engagement, is composed
largely of Salt Lake men. 1t was re-
cruited to its maximum strength from
all over the state, but the nucleus and
many of the recruits were from Salt
Lake county.
Batteries A and B were mustered in
to service at Fort Douglas, May 9, and
left for San Francisco May 20. They
sailed for Manila on the Colon June IS,
The officers of battery A at the time
of muster were: Captain, R. w. Youngi
first lieutenant, George w. Gibbs; sec
ond lieutenants, Ray c. Naylor and w.
:. Webb; first seargent, Ethan E.
Allen. Before sailing, however, Cap
tain Young was raised to the rank OF
major, resulting in promotions for all
the officers, SO it is probable that Cap
.ain Gibbs commanded the battery

A special dispatch to the San Fran

did not mind that, as she was ac-
Quainted with every road and bypath

asked If he had seen old Don.

About quarter of mile
from the spring, when turn

saw man coming toward her dressed

happened to be looking in another d.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

A Paris paper of recent date pre-
sents its readers with a collection oil
opinions by certain French women oil
letters on the eternal man and woman
question. The French writer's have
been accused of hardness, and even
replies that she paints men in her nov
els as she finds them, and that there
are plenty of bad men in the world
Another points out that women, nc
longer kept in ignorance, observe
learn and mark. The old illusions are
gone; the old sentiment no longer ex-
lists; the unmarried women not only
know what men do, learn and practice;
they themselves have descended lto
the arena; they are the competitors oil
men; often they are victorious rivals.
Thus the old respect for a superior in
tellect has been destroyed. A third
declares that the old-fashioned love, in
which two sought to become one, Is nc
longer possible; the old glory and Joy
of suffering for loves sake, Of making
sacrifices for love, has entirely VAN
ished. A fourth says that the con-
fiict of the sexes is not real, but only
pretended; that the law of nature
makes them necessary to each other
and she prophesies that so long as
man can preserve the appearance OF
superiority he will be satisfied, while
the reality will belong to woman.
ADAM" says one, very sagaciously,
would not have tasted that apple il
Eve had climbed the tree in order to
pick it for him. 1t must always be the
very pretty illustration, not only of the
point at issue, but also of the profound
acquaintance which the writer pos
sesses Of scriptural history, because,
il you remember. it was Eve, and NOT
Adam. who picked that apple. A fifth
writer very severely points out that
women can now read; that they used
this accomplishment for the purpose
of proving the cruelties. the falsehood,
the wickedness, the stupidities of men,
their lawmakers. and they ask whether
man is more intelligent. more virtuous,
wiser than women. One more extract.

"of emancipated woman is certainly
