Three Hundred Brave Men Cut Their
Way Through Rebel Hosts.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-A Manila cor
respondent, in describing the battle near
Perez das Marinas, says:
while the American troops were in
sunken road force Of insurgents at
tackled them on the left flank. The
Americans retreated in good order for
several miles. Finally. being reinforced
by Robinsons battalion of the Fourth
infantry, they advanced upon the foe.
Our loss during the day may amount to
a total of forty killed and wounded.
Surrounded by 1000 of the enemy, six
miles from reinforcements, and with
1000 more insurgents moving rapidly
down on their left to make their annthila-
ton complete the First battalion of the
Fourth infantry, Maj Budd command
ing, in all 800 Americans, fought their
way back from Perez das Marinas, three
miles, toward their military base at linus,
where the rest of the Fourth came to
their support.
REPORTS were received that Das Ma
rinas had been deserted by the insur-
gents. The alca1de of the place came to
linus and formally surrendered the town.
1.-The houses along the roadside were
filled with amigos, and the battalion ad-
vanced confidently until within three
fourths of a mile of Das Marinas, when
they discovered the enemy, paralleling
the road at long distance on both sides
and practically surrounding the little
force Natives began firing from houses
in the rear, and natives with white
cloths were captured with guns in hand
The whole scheme was to wipe out the
small body of American troops, and might
have succeeded but for the marvellous
courage of the troops and officers. The
fight began at noon, and the enemy's
fire was silenced in one hour.
1.-THE Americans, on retiring, discov-
cred that they were surrounded. The
skirmish lines crowded the Filipinos back
toward LINUS, while outflankers were on
the right and left. Under fianking fire
the rear guard was desperately holding
the enemy's rushes in check. A calling
fire necessarily poured upon the main
road, and men were falling in every di-
rection. The ambulance was filled and
carts were pressed into service loaded
with the wounded and dragged by hand
by the prisoners. Two of our dead were
left behind"

Their Advantage In Numbers.

NEW YORK, June 20.-(Special)-A
special from Manila says:
'"The American forces had the closest
call of the campaign in their march upon
Perez das Marinas. Three hundred men
were proceeding along the road from
linus to that place, when they discovered
that they were completely surrounded by
Filiplnos. There were fully 1000 men in
the rebel command, and they secured
points of vantage before being discov-
cred by the American scouts. There was
nothing for the Americans to do but re-
treat, which they did, in good order, max
ing such gallant defense that the rebels
were unable to take advantage of the fact
that they were in vastly superior force.
After falling back several miles reinforce
ments were met with and the Americans
returned to the attack, putting the Fill
pinos to flight. Gen. Wheaton entered
Perez das Marinas without opposition ex-
cept upon the part of small bodies of reb
els, who inflicted no losses upon the
Americans. The town is an unimportant
place, surrounded by swamps, and Gen.
Wheaton will probably return to Imus."

MANSFIELD, O., June 20.-A storm of
unusual severity occurred here last night,
and extended to other points in Ohio.
notably Shelby, on the northwest and
Londonville on the southwest. Here the
storm lasted from 7:S0 until after mid
night, and was accompanied with active
thunder and lightning and with heavy
rain and hail. A number of houses In
the lower part Of the city were moved
from foundations, and dwellings and
places of business were under water sew
eral feet deep. The street car power
house was flooded so that cars could not
run after p. m. Traffic on all railroads
was suspended until g. M Washouts
occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio road.
All factories in the lower part of the
city were, flooded and unable to run to-
day. No one was drowned, but there
were many narrow escapes. Two hun
dred people at the Casino were surround
ed by the flood. Many waded out, but
others were compelled to remain all night
in darkness. Total damage done in the
city is estimated at $4,000, and may be
more
AT Shelby the rise in the little stream
running through the town was so rapid
that citizens were aroused at a. m. by
the fire alarm and by ringing of church
bells. All cellers were flooded, and the
streets. became running streams. The
postoffice was closed early in the day and
business was at a standstill. A low
bridge was wholly submerged. The dam
age to 1t cannot be ascertained until the
water subsidies. The Baltimore & Ohio
railroad suffered from washouts.
At Londonville the storm seems to
have gathered strength, and there was
a decided cloudburst. Horse Tail Creek
soon broke over its banks with such force
that the first house 1t struck, that of
Isaac Hunter, was swept from its founda-
tons and completely destroyed. Hunter is
missing, and it is believed drowned Sew
eral barns were struck by lightning, which
was unusually frequent and brilliant.

Russian Government VIII Develop
It's Merchant Marine.
WASHINGTON, June 20-The Russian
government from information received
by the bureau of navigation. is preparing
measures for the early development of its
merchant marine. Although there are
only twenty-four Russian steamships of
over 1000 tons, and of them only four are
over fourteen knots, the Russian govern
ment, during 1898, expended over $1,O00,-
600 on its seagoing steamships. To in
crease its navigation on the Pacific the
Russian government, for the next ten
years, will pay Suez canal dues, as the
Austrian government has done for some
time on national merchant steamships.
The restriction of the coasting trade of
the empire, whether the ports are on the
Baltic or Black seas or the Pacific, to
Russian vessels, will not affect apprecia-
bly, American navigation, as for the last
two years no American vessels have en-
tered this country from or cleared for
European Russia, and last year only four
American sailing vessels entered from
and cleared for Russian ports on the Pa
cific.

Dark Side of Gold Seeking in the

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, June 20.--
A number of Klondikers who arrived
here on the steamer Dirigo present the
dark side of Klondilxe life. They say that
Dawson City is crowded with idle men,
who are willing to work for most any
wages. Thirty-five cents an hour and,
board yourself is the prevailing wages
for common laborers. They say there are
hundreds of men who have nothing but
beans and bacon to eat, with no prospect
of securing work, and that the only way
they will be able to get out of the coun-
try will be through government assist
ance.
