WORTHY SUGGESTION.
Police Matron Thorpe Would Have
q Children's Picnic.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Could you not interest some Of our
citizens in a poor chiIdren's picnic? Let
me state the reasons I have:
There are as or 100 little children IN
the crowded parts OF the city who can
not go to any OF the summer plcnics or
excursions because they have no dimes
to pay their car fareS-no clothes suit
able TO wear. no food ut to take out for
a dinner. They are bright, interesting
children who enjoy such an outing ten
times more than the ordinary school
boys and girls. because they are not
used to such pleasures
Many of these little ones have con-
fded TO me the sorrows Of their hearts
because they could not accompany their
classmates On these occasions
Now surely somebody is willing to
help these poor little souls to one days
pleasure
If there are those willing to donate
cake, sandwiches, lemons. etc. sug-
gest that they send their addresses to
me at once. MRS. L E THORPE

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Gen. Otis reported
to the War Department this morning the result
of yesterdays engagements and the capture
to-day Of Dasmarinas by Gen. Wheaton. He
says in his despatch:

yond Dasmarinas. now in his possession. Cas-
ualties to-day not reported. Wheaton g quail
ties for bold and successful attack unsur-

A study Of the situation near Perez Dasma-
rinas has convinced army officers at the war
Department that the Fiipinos Will not repeat
their error OF retreating along main hlRh-
way. as they did from linus several days ago:
There are several important towns south OF
linus to which the enemy could fee. but they
are nearly all reached by wagon roads. and the
American forces can approach them with artil-
lery. 1t IL considered more probable that when
the Americans entered Perez Dasmarinas the
enemy retreated westward. the next town be-
barracks Of masonry. Buena Vista Is a difficult
place to reach from Dasmarin II liz neces-
sary to ford three rivers and travel over nero
bride paths to reach the town.
