THE FILIPINOS ALERT
They Cut Telegraph Wires and
Damage the Railroad.

Manila, April IL. AT about mid
night the rebels cut the telegraph
line at several places between here
and Malolos and signal fires were
lighted and rockets sent up along the
foothills to the right of the railroad.
Later the enemy attacked the out
posts of the Minnesota regiment be-
tween Rigaa and Bocave, five miles
south of Malolos, killing two men and
wounding IA. simultaneously, the
outposts of the Oregon regi-
ment at Marilao, the next sta
ton on the way to Manila, were
attacked with the result that three
Americans were killed and two were
wounded. The loss of the enemy was
ten men killed and six wounded. The
Americans also captured two prison
crs. Troops were concentrated along
the railroads as thiclSly as possible
and the rebels were driven back to the
foothills. The roadbed of the railroad
was damaged, but it was repaired al
most Immediately and traffic was re-
sumed through to Malolos.
1t is supposed that many of the reb-
els who attacked Gen. MacArthur's
line of communication were natives
who entered the region in the guise of
friendles They had seemingly se-
GREETED arms in several places and fired
on the Americans from the bushes at
so close Il range that they could be
heard talking. One of the Filipinos
yelled in English: 1--WE will give you
damned Americans enough of this be-
fore we are through" The rebels un-
dermined the railroad at Marilao and
unspiked the rails in an effort to wreck
a train while the railroad gang par
ticipated in the fight, The work of
the rebels was discovered and repaired
before n train arrived.
Gen. Wheaton is preparing to punish
the Filipinos. The military gunboats
Napidan and Laguna de Bay have sue
ceeded in entering the Santa Cruz river
and have captured a small unarmed
Spanish gunboat and three Launches
which they discovered there. The
military gunboat Oesta has brought 3.
wounded rebels, one dead Filipino anc
six wounded Americans to the hos
pital. 1t is now known that 03 insur
gents were killed during the capture
of Santa Cruz

experiments Women Commit
Suicide--SaluOns Closed.

Fargo, n. D., April l2.-The final
curtain is just being run down on the
old divorce regime of North Dakota
Hundreds of Divorces are safely be-
hind and scores have been shut out.
The closing days of the divorce regime
have been characterized by a rush of
divorce emigrces across the country to
be in under the 30 days provision of
the old law and the divorce colonies
at Fargo, Grand Forks, Maudan, Bis
marclS and jamestown have received
sudden and hurried additions from
east and west, wherever marital
bonds have proven calling. Emigrees
still come, but theirs is a bootless
chase. by July 1 the last suits for
divorce under the old law which
North Dakota ecclesiastics call
stencil in the nostrils of the people
will have to be filed The colony of
Fargo, with additions from the immi-
grafton, is estimated TO number 100.
DEGREES are being issued in the courts
of the third judicial district at the
rate of three day. The colony at
Mandan across the river from Bis
marck is nearly as large, owing to the
favorable complexion of the courts
and the Divorces have also locked to
Grand Forks and Jamestown.

HAT WAS PASSED.
To buy sailors n Christmas Din
ner- Movement Squelched
by Dewey.

An American dentist in Manila. in "A
happy or unhappy moment, conceived
the idea of providing by public subscrip-
ticn grand Christmas dinner for the
United States soldiers garrisoning the
city, in the same manner rs paupers
at home are RECALLED with all the good
things Of This life on that day. says the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The idea took beyond all eNpecta-
tons, for when the han went round the
money flowed in so freely that in a
couple of day over 50 GOO was collected.
The soul of the movement waNcd IN
thusiastic. And so did the whole Amer
lean community.
Consul Wildman. in a thoughtless mo-
ment, also allowed himself to be caught
by the fever. Committees and subcoln-
mittees were then appointed, and prep
arations began to be made in right
earnest and on n most elaborate scale
for the grand spread.
But the American would-be patriots
counted without their host, who. in the
person Of Admiral Dewey, issued gen
eral order quashing the whole thing
and ordering the refunding of the
money to the subscribers Admiral
Dewey very sensibly says that the ac'
ceptauce of public subscription din
uer is Incompatible with the dignity o.
an American sailor and that the United
States government may well be trustee
to look after his comfort. The Ameri
can dentist is sad. Consul Wildman Is
sadder, and the saddest of all were thu
troopers and blueiackets.
