BANK ROBBERS IN ILLINOIS.
Two Concerns in Different Towns
Looted Of Large Sums.

PONTIAC ml.), Dec. 5.-The bank at
Cornell, H.. eight miles from here, was
robbed of $4,000 in currency last night.
The robbers secured entrance through
the front door. of the building, and blew
the large safe open with dynamite. The
force of the explosion partially wrecked
the building, and left the contents of
the safe exposed. Two men suspected
of the crime have been arrested, and
the Sheriff is confident that he has the
robbers. He believes that the two men
under arrest had one or more confed-
crates.

WIN ASH Assistance.

The state health board will ask for
legislation to prevent the spread of
consumption, which they figure out
caused at lease one-tenth of the deaths
in the state during 1898. The board
thinks there should be a state sanitar-
ium for consumptives, TO cost about
100000. IL is claimed that the money
loss caused by the disease is at least
$3,000,000 year. The board also be-
lieves in the adoption of some system
for selecting cases most endangering
public health, by requiring inspections
and actions by local health officers. A
portion of the expense, the board says,
should be borne by counties and a part
by the patients where financially able.

BY Telegraph Giving a Brief Re-
sumo of the Weeks Events.
RELIABLE AND INTERESTING.
The Long Expected Rupture Between
Filipinos aud Americans has Come
to "A Crisis - American Loss Light
Compared to That of the FilipInos
Battle Fought at Manila.

The long expected rupture between
the Americans and the Filipinos has
come at last. The immediate cause of
the attack was caused by three daring
Filipinos darling past the Nebraska
regiments pickets at Santa Mesa for
the third time when one was shot and
one wounded. The Filipinos quickly
responded by opening fire from three
points, Caloocal, Gagalangin and Santa
Mesa, simultaneously. This was sup
plemented by the fire of two siege
guns at BalikBalik. To this the
Americans responded with terrific
fire, but owing to the darkness they
were unable to determine its effect.
The Utah light artillery finally sue
ceeded in silcncing native battery.
The Third artillery, on the extreme
lift, also did good work while the
U. S. cruiser Charleston and gunboat
Concord, stationed at Malabona,
opened n vigorous fire. The engage
ment lasted one hour. With daylight
the Americans advanced and the Cali
fornia and Washington regiments
made a splendid charge and drove the
Filipinos from the villages of Pace and
Santa Mesa, while the Nebraska regi-
ment captured several prisoners and
one howitzer and a very strong posi-
ton at the reservoir, which is con.
nected with the water works. The
American loses are estimated at Al
men killed and so wounded, while the
Filipinos will reach up into the thou
sands.
Upon receipt of the news of the
battle at Washington a cabinet meet
ing was Immediately called, at which
it was decided to crush Aguinaldo's
power in the Philippines, and Gen.
Otis has been cabled to follow up his
victory and occupy the islands of the
Archipelago to as great an extent as
his forces will premit.
The forces under the command of
Gen. Otis, present for duty, number
1886 men. About 5000 more are on
their way, but will not reach Manila
for three weeks or a month. The in
surgent force, according to the belief
of the best authorities at Washington,
number about z30, 900 men. Although
they exceed the Americans IN number
they are not comparable N personnel,
discipline or quality of arms.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1899-02-10
War Notes.

About the last of Aguinaldo's series
of communications to the state depart
ment at Washington he claimed juris-
diction to all of the Philippine groupe,
instead of only Tagals as heretofore
claimed. The Philippine sod may ac-
cidently claim him before the war is
ended.
Word frox1 Rear-Admiral Dewey has
been received which says he has cap
tured another schooner loaded with
arms and ammunition intended for
Aguinaldo. 1t is said that the German
consul at Hong Kong was concerned
in the sale OF the arms to the Filipinos.
Undoubtedly Dewey will place his
vessels around the island of Luzon and
make a special effort to cut off the in
surgents' supplies and ammunition,
which they must have in order to
carry on the war.
1t is reported that the Ygorates,
armed with bows and arrows, made a
very determined stand in the face of a
hot artillery fires and left many dead
on the field.
Careful estimates place the Filipino
loss, for the first two engagements, at
1000 dead, $500 wounded and 5000
taken prisoners.
Gen. Otis has Dewey's fleet of 81
ships of various types at his back, why
should he be afraid to fight?
Several unsuccessful attempts at
assassinating American officers in
Manila have been made.

County jail system Condemned.

The state board of corrections and
charities will recommend legislation
designed to radically change the sys-
tenn of managing county jails in Mich
igan. The board condemns the prac-
tice of using county jails as city lock-
ups. 1t makes them filthy and I'M
healthy. Frequently persons arrested
on some trivial charge carry tools or
weapons into the Jail to aid in the es-
cape of pals. The board says it is ex-
pensive and useless to put DRINKS and
7isorderlies into the jails, yet they con-
1titute more than half of those con-
tined. 1t is recommended that the
Jaw permitting this be repealed, at
least so far as it applies to counties
having more than 10000 population.
They recommend that penalties be
imposed instead of locking up common
trunks.
