MISCELLANY.


Though the hopes and the dreams that / cher.

You have striven to Stay in me, cruel in kind
ness,
To leave not dream, not a hope, can cling
to,
You are mine still to pray for, to long for, to
sing to.
shall love the few years out with hope un-
diminished,
For deaths not the end and the tale is not
finished;
shall take the old thread up, relght the old
ember,
And if you have forgotten me shall remem.
Der.
Reject me while living, forget me when dy'
ing
Perhaps the next chance will be more worth
the trying.
What's amiss in my love will have time to be
mended,
For shall not give up till eternity's ended.

A force of 1900 men under Gems Law
ton. Wheaton aud Ovenshine advanced at
davbreak Saturday from San Pedro, Ma
cati sweeping the country between the
Raw of Manila and Bay Lake, south OF Ma
Mia. By noon the country had been cleared
almost to Paranaque. The Americans lost
two officers killed and 81 soldiers wounded.
The natives resisted desperately at the
stronger of their positions, and left Oh
dead in the trenches. Many more wounded
were left behind by the natives in their re-
treat. The heat during the day was over
towering, and there were many prostra-
tions of American soldiers from that cause.
Gen Lawtons force consisted of two
battalions each of the 2lst and 9th infan-
trv. six companies of the Colorado volun-
teers and detachment of artillery. The
Navada cavalry was under Gen. Wheaton,
and the 18th and 14th infantry, the 4th
cavalry and detachment of light artillery
were under Gen. Ovenshine. 1t was scarce
w dawn when the troops, in long, silent
procession wound up the hillside behind the
American treuches and formed skirmish
line. Concealed in the jungle the advance
native outposts fred a few shots before
thew were discovered. The opposing forces
occupied two ranges of crescent shaped
hills. At daybreak the artillery, the Colo
radios, and the Nevada cavalry swung
around the hilltop on the left and opened
the battle at $50. The Filipinos made no
response from the hills, and the Colorado
men cautiously advanced through the thick
grass until they were confronted by a
trench, from which a few weak volleys
were fired. A spirited response followed
aud charge into the trench found 1t to
be deserted.
In the meantime part of the 18th and
14th regiments formed in skirmish line, ex-
tending mile to the right, and supported
by the rest of the regiments, swept down
the valley and up the hillside toward an
other trench. Approaching through the
morass seriously hampered the 18th, and
the natives, taking advantage of this,
poured CALLING fire upon them for 30
minutes. The 18th was twice CO npelled
to withdraw, for the purpose of finding a
safe crossing in the swamp. Finally the
trench was enfiladed on both TANKS, The
natives fled to the woods and sustained Sc
we're loss. Gen. Lawton then pushed his
entire command south, through the centre
of the isthmus, until few miles south of
Paranaque, when he. swung around and
halted on account of the heat. During the
march the Americans were Frustrated on
all sides owing to lack of water and expo
sure to the sun. 1t is estimated that ~
per cent of the troops were exhausted.
The double-turreted monitor Monadnock
and three other vessels shelled Paranaque
Saturday morning and the Filipinos
promptly evacuated the place.
American soldiers who were engaged in
accommodating near Morong Friday were
attacked by 800 natives. The Americans
fought their way home through the enemy
and inflicted severe losses The chief
scout accompanying the Americans was
killed. Five natives were captured and
taken to Morong. FilIpinos are very ac'
tive. The garrison cavalry and the North
Dakota infantry are employed in throwing
