About a. m. on that day our fleet steamed
forward from Cavite and before 10 am.

shells and rapid-fire projecties on the sea
flank of the Spanish Entertainments at the
powder magazine fort, and at the same
time the Utah batteries, in position in our
trenches near the Gale Real" began firing
with great accuracy. At 1925, on a pre-
arranged signal from our trenches that 1t
was believed our troops could advance, the
navy ceased firing, and Immediately a light
line of skirmishers from the Colorado regi
ment OF Greene's brigade passed over our
trenches and deployed rapidly forward,

the left flank of our earthWorks advancing
swiftly up the beach in open order. Both
these lines found the powder magazine fort

were met by 81 sharp fire from a second
line situated in the streets of Malate, by
which a number of men were killed and
wounded, among others the soldier who
pulled down the Spanish coors still flying
on the fort and raised our own.
The works of the second line soon gave
way to the determined advance of Greene'S
troops and that officer pushed his brigade
rapidly through Maiate and over the
bridges to occupy Binondo and San Miguel

yesterday the old man was at the city's
deadhouse TO secure evidence which
would enable him to collect the prin-
cipal and profit on his speculation.

Here he asked for a certificate show
Ing that II. Frank Luce was dead. He
explained that he was no relative Of the
deceased. but that he had been inter
ested with the dead man in a financial
way.
Then he told his story. He held a
life insurance policy on the deceased
calling for $4,000. II was simple

policy was In his name. the man was
dead. and he wanted TO collect the
money as soon as possible. Years ago

After he had told his story the on

undertaking parlors the body Of his
dead friend should be taken.
None. Better leave him here and
let him be buried by the city" said the
old man. and he started down the stairs
with the evidence Of the death OF his
