MANILA, By Gable AT daybreak
Saturday a force of 4, 500 men, under
Generals Lawton. Wheaton and Oven
shine, advanced from San Pedro Ma.
cati, sweeping the country between the
bay Of Manila and Bay Lake, south of
Manila. BY noon the country had been
cleared almost to Paranaque. The
Americans lost two officers killed end
twenty. one soldiers wounded.
The rebels resisted desperately at the
stronger of their positions and left 40
dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded were left behind by the rob-
els in their retreat The heat during
the day was overpowering. aud there
were many prostrations of American
soldiers from that cause. Gen. Law
toms force consisted of two battalions
each of the Twenty first and Ninth In
fantry, six companies of the Colorado
Volunteers, and detachment of artil-
lery. The Nevada Cavalry was under
General Wheaton, and the Thirteenth
Cavalry and detachment of Light
Artillery were under General Oven
shine.
1t was scarcely dawn when the troops,
in long. silent pr ocession, wound up
the hillside, behind the American
trenches and formed skirmish line.
Conceal in the jungle, the advance
rebel outposts fired q few shots before

pied two ranges of crescent shaped
hills. The artillery, the Colorado In.
fantry and the Nevada Cavalry swung
around the hill top on the left, and
opened the battle at $50 o'clock. The
robels made response from the hills,
and the Colorado men cautiously ad'
vanced through the thick grass until
they were confronted by trench from

of our officers. Being well aware that
the Chinese generally order their COT
fins years in advance and keep them
on the premises. and also that they are
perfectly alright, he consulted with

that orders were given to search all

strong to bear the artillery. and the

among three companies. The Youngs-

Works was awarded the il bridges on
the Lake Erie division, Newark to

Company of Wilmington, Del, will
erect the bridges needed on the Chi

for the structures.

Fast Mall to Seattle,

The widespread public interest in
the contest for the fast mail contract
between Chicago and Omaha has
caused one temporarily to overlook
the similar achievement Of the Great
Northern railway in establishing
quick mail communication from New
York, via Chicago and st. Paul, TO
Seattle, and thence 10 The Orient. The
fast Pacific mail service by way OF
st. Paul to the Puget Sound country
is now quite as remarkable as that via
Omaha to San Francisco On January
3 the Great Northern placed in serv-
ice a fast through mail and passen-
ger train from Chicago to Seattle, on
which the mail pouches never once
leave the car after the transfer at
st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route is just four
days. East OF ST. Paul the mails are
carried on several roads. but west Of
that city-on n run exceeding the
eastern portion by 500 miles-the
mail goes through without change
across five great States on the tracks
OF the Great Northern. FOrty-fve
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago, and thirty min
utes in st. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without pause until the Asiatlc
mails go on board the steamers OF
the Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance of Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
OF the Great Northern transcOnti-
mental mail service make the achieve
ment a noteworthy feature Of Amer
lean railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals OF
San Francisco as regards the freight
and passenger traffic for Japan, China
and Asiatic ports. The steamer route
from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco, and as a large
proportion OF the Oriental exports are
products OF the Northwest the freight
traffic has naturally taken this course.
The fact that the full capacity Of the
Japan Mail Steamship COnpany's
beats is engaged as far ahead as next
August is in itself a striking proof OF
the growing Importance OF the
Oriental trade that has its outlet at
Seattle.
