THE Am EKICAN BLUFF"

Nothing is sometimes so efec-
tive in war as we'll as in peace as
a good American "bluff." That
fact has been demonstrated once
again, This time Lieutenant Mon~
roe, of the Fourth Cavalry, op-
Grating in the Philippines, forces
the surrender of an insurgent
General with 500 men, armed with
Mauser rifles without striking a
blow.
Monroe's plan was simple. 1t
was a "bluf" and nothing more.
He had only fifty men, and rein
forcements were far away, but as
he approached the rebel town of
Bayonbong he halted at a tele-
graph Office and wired the insur-
gent commander that he was ready
to move to the place at once with
a large army, and demanded the
unconditional surrender of the
rebels. The threat must have
caused a panic among the yellow
Fillipinos, who doubtless danced
around in their fright and behelG
visions of marching columns anG
score Of heavy guns, for they a
once capitulated. Not only did thu
entire rebel force surrender, bu
the insurgents gave up seventy
Spanish and two American pris
oners and a quantity of supplies
And they must have ttlooked lik'
thirty cents'' when they realized
that they had been frightened on
of their wits by fifty men com
manded by a nervy Lieutenan
who knew the use of agood stron:
American bluff.
Lieutenant Monroe has earne'
a Generalship, and in addition b
is entitled to the blue ribbon TO
being the most unique hero Of th
Filipino war.

others are fragrant only when
crushed.
There is one which is fragrant in
bloom and fragrant also when it's
ripened fruit is crushed and made
into a drink. We know it as coffee.
To enjoy the most delicious fra
GRANGE of coffee in its highest state
of perfection you should buy what
you are sure is coffee, pure and
simple, without any adulteration.
Chase & Sanborn's Coffee is a
pure coffee. What is more, it is the
best coffee that can be raised by
experienced planters. Furthermore
every bean is selected and the same
are is maintained in roasting and
packing, until it reaches the con-
sumers' hands.
Because it is pure it is hea1thful
and the price at which it sells is so
little in advance of cheaper grades
that one stops and wonders why
any one should not always have
Chase & Sanborn's Seal Brand
Coffee, or any one of their high
grade brands which come in parch-
ment lined colored bags.

"Call the next case Mr.. Clerk"
said the Mayor, as be presided
with his usual dignity and equity,
over his court this morning:
Clerk Broadhurst handed up
"the papers in the case'' and as
his Honor inspected them a cloud
of perplexity settled upon his usu
ally benign countenance, but anon,
as the ridiculous circumstance re-
vealed itself, a smile came up
through his Vandyke whiskers and
chased the cloud athwart his bald
ing forehead and out through his
comely locks, growing gray with
the new and latter day cares and
vexations of his official trust.

THREE INDIAN SK|RM|SHES.
MEXICAN TROOPS ENGAGED
The Indians Retreated-Both Sides Met
Heavy Losses-Evcessive Heat Along
the River-Se veral Were Sun Stroke
Small Town Attacked.

Potam, Mexico, via Nogales, A. T., Aug.
24.-General Torres gave the order to adj
vance on Vicam. Three sharp engage
ments were fought before the troops sue
ceeded in entering the stronghold. The
Indians met the government forces first
about half a mile from Vicam and fell
back. They rallied again on the outskirts
OF the Pueblo and were driven in. The
soldiers were advancing in form of half
moon and when they reached Vicam it
required desperate struggle before the
Indians were driven from their position.
In the three engagements two Mexicans
were killed and 32 wounded, among tho
latter being two captains, Reynaldo Apor-
tel and Aurelio, both of the Eleventh reg
iment. Forty Yaquis were killed and the
number of wounded is known to have
been heavy.
The Yaquis retreated in the Jungle to
the southwestward and were followed by
General Torres, who overlook them again
at point about two miles below Potam.
The Indians numbered about 700, while
the generals command was about 1000
strong The battle was fought on August
IL and the Mexicans had two men killed
and 10 wounded. Twenty dead Yaquis
were found in the holes from which they
fought.
Loretto Villa, one of the chiefs who led
the Yaquis in their 10 years war against
the government and who knows every
inch OF the river jungles, is now fighting
with the Mexican army. He led the troops
through heath and they were enabled
to make rear attack, badly worsting the
Indians in the fight
When the general entered the church at
Vican shortly after taking possession ne
found evidences indicating that Father
Beltran and the Josephine Sisters, who
are prisoners of the Indians, had left there
but couple of hours before. The can
dies on the altar were burning and in
their living rooms everything was in or
der and dinner cooking on the fire place.
In all their warfare the Yaquis have never
been known to have killed priest WHO

sisted the attack for 10 hours, when the
Indians withdrew. Several houses were
burned by the Indians, and five men and
women were killed. 1t is thought that

wounded, but as they were carried off
