this was almost hand-to-hand strug-
gle. The officers fired their revolvers.
The Spaniards got through the open
formation to the edge Of the camp.
Colonel Jose Campina, the Cuban
guide, discharged his revolver and
they, turning and finding themselves
without support, ran helter-skelter
down the reverse side of the hill. 1t
was during this assault that Assistant
Surgeon Gibbs was killed. He was
shot in the head in front Of his own
tent the farthest point of attack. He
fell into the arms of Private Sullivan
and both dropped.
A second bullet threw dust in their
faces. Surgeon Gibbs lived ten min
utes, but did not regain consciousness.
The surgeons Of the hospital corps
then removed their quarters to the
trenches about the old Spanish stock
ade north of the camp. The attacks
were continued at intervals throughout
the rest Of the night with firing by
small squads in various directions.
Towards morning the fire slackened.
Dawn ls the favorable time for attack,
and as the east paled the marines, ly-
ing on their guns, were aroused. Some
were actually asleep, as they had had
no rest for forty eight hours and tired
nature could not longer stand the
strain. But no attack came.

General Grant. Maneu,e...

Chickamauga, Ga, June 1.-THE
event Of yesterday at Chickamauga
was the execution OF General Fred
Grants battle problem. In this prob
lem were number OF new and din.
cult maneuvers, and II was watched
with great interest by officers and men.
The maneuvers were all well carried
out according to General Grants ex-
cellently conceived plan, and the fact
was demonstrated that many of them
would be very useful In actual con-
hict. The battle began at 7 O'Clock
and was concluded before noon.
The health OF the camp continues to
be good and the authorities are encour-
aged to believe that there will be very
little serious sickness among the men.
The quartcrmasters and commissary
departments have settled down to ro,i-
tine work and the receipt OF provisions
are about as they have been during the
past few days. There are still large
number OF regiments partially or total.
ly lacking uniforms.

that the enemy is beginning to accept
proffered bait with avidity and that a
general engagement with terrific
slaughter may be expected within a
few days. The only serious hindrance
to Corporal" Cleveland's movement
on the enemy's fortifcations is the
temporary absence of his aid de camp,

Manila Reported to Have Fallen.

New York, June PA special to the
Herald from Washington, ID. O., says:
Manila has surrendered, but the Of
fcials here are still without informa-
tion as to whether 1t has surrendered
to Admiral Dewey or the insurgent
forces. The news comes from Ambas-
sador Hay, In London, who cabled the
State Department tonight that advices
had been received there from Hong
Kong that Manila had fallen.
The cablegram from Ambassador
Hay In London gave no particulars.
His dispatch read: "Advices from
Hong Kong state that Manila has sur
rendered"
In the absence Of positive informa-
tion the authorities cannot say who
the surrender has been made to-Ad-
miral Dewey or to General Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader.

J. r. Cravath makes some useful sug-
gestions to owners Of electric-llght
plants in towns OF 1000 to 5000 In
habitants. Towns of this size usually
have an electric-light plant. a water
works system. small factory or two
and dozen or more small steam
plants Of from one TO twenty horse
power. Mr.. Cravath maintains that
there is ordinarily no good reason Why
the electric light company cannot sup
ply power to these varied Industries
more cheaply and more satisfactorily
than under the present system of every
man for himself. In other words, the
power generation for the community
should be consolidated under the roof
of the electric-light plant. and the men
and boilers and engines there employed
made to earn money twenty-four hours
day instead of two or three.

That salaries and wages are govern
ed by the profits OF business has been
a commonplace Of political economy:
but OF late an interposing factor has
been unusually demonstratiye in the
character and disposition OF the EN-
ployer. There are instances where n
sharing OF u portion OF the profits OF
business has made employees more will

been counter instances where the EN-
ployer's hardness has kept his work
men irritable and unhappy. to his in
jury as well as to theirs. Strikes are
not infreQuently brought on or aggra-
waited by the arrogance or luck OF sym
pathy OF employers. and there is rea-
son to believe that comparatively

Austria. aside from its rulers, is not
nearly so Spanish In its smypathies as
has been generally supposed. The
Deutsche Zeitung of Vienna, referring
to this subject recently. says: THE
great North American republic con-
stitutes warning for all European
princes and governments who are
steering for absolutism. Were 1t not
for the American union the cause of
civil liberty in Europe in our days
would be In a bad way" 1t would
probably surprise most rulers of the
more despotic countries OF Europe to
know to what extent sentiments such
as the above prevail in their domin-

Mr.. BAILEY is RiRht.

General Wheeler cannot be a

Constitution. whilst he wears Mr..
McKinley's shoulder straps and
must obey the latter's commands
or be court martialed.
General Wheeler, as every other
Southern man, has fought well.
But he shaEes the fate Of all those
Southern men, when he wants to
retain his military position, that is,
nc must first lose his manhood.
General Wheeler testified in favor

and shed light on the rascalities
committed under the Alger sys

done so, he would not be now the

he tried again Wednesday to
secure consideration the House de-
clined-Ioo to Io3--to take it up.
The Republicans in the House
defeated the Lodgs immigration
bill. The only explanation given
is that they realized that it would
beridiculous to pass law restrict
ing immigration from the civilized
countries Of Europe when the Ad-
ministration has adopted a policy
to admit millions OF semi-barbar
ians. The private discussion OF
the matter with a friend gave the
Speaker an opportunity to express
himself on the Filippinos, whom he
characterized as "savages who
have not even come out of the
bushes to be tagged and identified
for their citizenship papers,"
Not speech was made on the
Immigration bill. Such Republi.
can leaders and Mckinley follow
ers as Cannon, Chairman OF the
Appropriation Committee; Dolli-
yer and Hopkins, of the Ways and
Means Committee, and Quigg, of
New York, voted against consid-
erlng it, and with them were many
other Republicans, who, with the
Democrats and Independents,
made short work Of the measure.
The full Republican list is as
follows:
Barney, Barrows, Bedford, Bar.
tholdt, Broderick, Cannon, Curtis
ia J, Connoly, Dawson (Ky.),
Dolliver, Eddy. Gillet (N. ",
Hager, Hawley Hopkins, Jenkins,
Lacey, Littauer, Mahany, Mann,
Miller, Perkins, Quigg, Sauerher-
ing, Shattuc, Sheldon, Snover,
Spalding, Stevens, (Minn.), Stew
art (Wis.).
Mr., Danford, Chairman Of the
immigration Committee, called up
the bill from the Speakers table,
where it had been slumbering since
Senator Lodge got it through the
Senate last session. Bartholdt
raised a question Of consideration
"a favorite parliamentary device
for choking off a measure before
it has got on its feet.
When Speaker Reed put the
question the bill was beaten by a
vote Of 100 to 1903.

Down in Dixie" one of the popular
Southern plays splendidly put on the
stage by Managers Thomas H. Davis
and William T. Keogh, is a series of
dramatic pictures in which a highly
interesting and thrilling story is shown
against a background that comprises
some of the most picturesque and charm
ing features OF Southern lite, The
scenes Of the play are laid in Georgia
and Carolina, and the action of the story
calls for Southern landscapes, with land.

and negro cabins. While the main lines
Of Down IN Dixie" are those Of meIo-

Southern life, contains an abundance of

Senator Vest

is right. He will not permit the
Investigation Of the war scandals
to be stified. He is determined
that his resolution calling for the
appointment Of a committee Of FIVE
Senators to investigate the alleged
scandals in connection with the
purchase Of supplies and trans
ports for the War Department shall
not be smothered in committee.
The resolution was reported
favorably by the Committee on
Contingent Expenses. Senator
Vest endeavored to secure i'm
mediate consideration, but upon
the objection Of Senator Platt, OF
Connecticut, it went over under
the rules. 1t is now on the Senate
table awaiting the pleasure OF the
Senate.
Senator Vest at first was much
irritated by Senator Platt's objec-
ton. But Mr.. Platt explained that
his motive in objecting was to per-
NIT Senator Hawley, Chairman of
the Military Affairs Committee, to
pass upon the resolution.
Mr.. Vest was prepared to de-
mand thepassage Of the resolution
Immediately upon the converting
Of the Senate Thursday when Sem
ator Hawley came and quietly said
that, at the request Of several mem
bers Of his committee, he would
have to ask that the resolution be
referred to it. The Missouri Sena-
tor knows that the best way to kill
resolution is to permit il to slumber
IN committee. He will not permit
his resolution 10 slumber.
