SEVERE BATTLE FOUGHT
In the Philippines on Tuesday,
June I3.

The American troops stirred up
one of the liveliest engagements
of the war in the Philippines. The
fighting ragged from daylight until
dark. The American field guns
were engaged in the first artillery
duel against Filipino battery
concealed in the jungle. Two
companies of the twenty. first
infantry were nearly surrounded
by large body of insurgents, but
the Americans cut their way out
with heavy loss.
The United States turret ship
Monadnock and the gunboats
Helena and Zeafiro trained their
batteries on Bakoor and the rebel
trenches near Las Pinas all the
morning. Bakoor was once on
fire and the natives stopped the
spread of the flames. Home made
canister loaded with nails was
used by the insurgeants. Their
shooting was most acurate and
considerable damage was done.
As soon as the fighting opened
the Americans were attacked by
hidden riflemen on all sides, even
the amigos, or "friendly" natives
in the houses of the town shoot
ing into their rear.
ENEMY WELL ORGANIZED.
The Filipino force engaged ap.
pears to have been the largest
and best organized body of men
which has met our troops.
The Americans are compelled
to advance along narrow roads
and over small bridges comman-
ded by earthworks ten feet thick.
The only means of crossing the
Zanote was by a small bridge
which the Filiplnos comman-
ded with trenches spreading V
shaped, whence they could con-
centrate their fire on the bridge.
They also had the advantage of
the trees and jungle so the Amer
leans could hardly see ahead.
When the battle was resumed
at I o'clock with the reinforce
ments. our battery having ST.
fenced the enemy's guns, the
Americans wading waist deep in
the mud of the salt flats, slowly
and pouring steady volleys of
musketry at the rebels, drove
their opponents beyond the river.
'RAPID FIRE" FOR THREE HOURS
When the two armies lay fac
ing each other across the deep
stream, the enemy, practically
out of sight while the men in blue
and khaki lay in the mud and
bushes, many Of them without
shelter, for three hours, without a
mement's cessation in the firing,
poured bullets at the enemy as
fast as they could load. The
thousand rifles blended into a
continuous roar was vastly differ
ent from the intermittent skir.
mishlike rattle of most of the en-

ALL RESERVES CALLED UP.


One battalion after another
Gen. LawtOn summoned the re-
serves from Las Plnas until only
enough troops were left in the
town to prevent the FIlipinos
from attacking the Americans In
the rear, which was feared, as
they were creeping around our
left through the woods, delivering
a flanklug fire, which put great
strain upon the endurance Of the
Americans who were tlounderiDg
in the mud across the river, while
on the right the Filipino sharp
shooters, hidden in the trees.
were peppering our men. But,
thanks to the poor marks man
ship of the rebels, the loss was
not as great as if the Filipinos
had shot straight.
MEN BEHAVED HANDSOMELY.
An army has seldom fought under a
greater handicap or more ecourageously
than did our regulars, a majority of
whom were, comparatively speaking,
recruits, who could have been par
doned for retiring in the face OF such
fierce fire from their exposed posi-
| tions.
The Fourteenth regiment lay to the
right of the bridge and in front of
them was the Twelfth regiment, with
the Ninth on the right and the Twen-
ty-first up the road facing the bridge,
| which was the key to the situation.
On the bridge were the bodies of the
Americans who had attempted to rush
across and many wounded men were
carried from the open ground before
the bridge.
After firing in volleys for a short
time the Americans were ordered to
fire when and where they could see
the enemy. 1t was every thing for
himself and the best our men could
do was to aim at the mist made by the
smokeless powder.
I After silencing the big gun at Cavite
Viejo, the gunboats ran close along the
shore, bombarding the rebel position.
The rebels replied with rifle fire and
with the fire of some small pieces of
artillery. SO vigorous was the enemy's
fire that at 9.20 a. m. the gunhoat He
lena joined the small gunboats already
named and the Princeton. Montery
and MOnadnock from their anchor
ages, dropped occasional big shells
among the rebels. This, apparently,
only served to inCite the rebels as they
kept up an inceSsant fire Of musketry
and artillery near the mouth Of the
/apOte river, two miles north Of Ba-
CoOr. The fire of all seven warships
was concentrated on this point shortly
after noon, when the upper bay pre-
sented the appearance of being the
scene of grra naval battle. The
rebels were eventually forced to aban-
| don their guns after holding out for
about tour hours, only to be confronted
! by Gen. Lawtnn'S force on land and in
! their rear, where there was heavy
! fighting.
Beyond the destruction of several
buildings along the water front the
effect of the bOmbardment is not
| known.

IRON ORE OF COOK COUNTY.
The High Grade Steel Ore That johnson
- Mining Company is Pros
e, -. =. pecting. tT& r

Mr.. W. P. Butler, of Minneapolis came
down last evening from Minnesota.
Mr.. Butler is connected with the John
son Mining company and was up to look
over the work that had been done this
summer. He brought with him a guam
tity of drill ores, of which some are
SPLENDID samples of iron ore. The com.
pany has been engaged in prospecting
their claims by means of diamond drills
for the past pear and a half, during
which time upwards of $4,000 worth of
diamonds have been used up. Mr.. But
Ter on his trip he took with him $4,000 of
diamonds. OF the iron ore in which the
johnson company is working, Mr.. But
Ter says it is the best ore found in the
world. It is, he says, really a steel ore.
inasmuch as it contains within itself the
component parts of nickel steel. An
analysis shows that the ore contains
manganese and cromium, two minerals
which enter into the composition of steel
that is used in warships. A rough
sample of ore taken from the surface or
outcrop of the lead reveals a high per-
centage of metallic iron. Mr.. Butler
says that it gives about 60 per cent.
Asked as regards the nickel deposits
reported to have been found near Gun
flint some years ago. Mr.. Butler says
there is no nickel IN the county. In the
earlier days, when the mineral deposits
were being examined and when the
Poison iron mine was being worked,
there were indications of nickel but Mr..
Butler says they we're mistaken IN their
conclusions as later developments prove.

In Spain the Office OF executioner is,

The dignity of the function Of put
