A HOT FIGHT
The Americans Capture Cavite and
 Noveleta

Noveleta, Island of Luzon, October D. General Schwan column consisting of the Thirteenth infantry, a battalion of the Fourteenth, two troops of cavalry, Cap- tain Reilley's battery of the Fifth artillery and Lowe's scouts, advanced from Baeoor yesterday and occupied Cav4te and Nove- leta.
 The American loss was three officers and nine privates wounded, one of the officers being mortally hurt. The loss of the enemy is unknown, but the bodies of three F1lip- inos were seen.
 There were two sharp fights near Nove- leta. Lowe's scouts first encountered the enemy near Cavite Viejo and soon put them to flight continuing their advance.
 Captain Saffold's battalion of the Thir- teenth regiment, with two companies of the Fourteenth and a number of Tagalo scouts Captain McGrath commanding the troops from the Fourth cavalry and Cap tain Reilley's battery, came upon the en- emy in a strongly entrenched position on the road between Cavite Viejo and Nove- leta.
 A fight lasting half am hour followed, res sulting dn the enemy's being driven back. The American forces sustained considerable losses in this engagement, the men being shot from trenches and shacks along the road. ] Noveleta Deserted The column then pressed on to Noveleta, which they found deserted.
 The marines and naval forces co-operated with the troops. The gunboats Wheeling, Petrel and Callao lay off the shore near halt and Santa Cruz for an hour, preparing the way for the marines to land. The bat talons, consisting of 45O marines, under Colonel Elliott, advanced along the pegin- sufa from Cavite to Noveleta. The only way was by narrow road through swamps

Squads were sent to Noveleta and burned the town and the huts all along the road from which the enemy commenced the firing. There a junction was formed with the scouts, who had been sweeping the swamps and thickets. Thence the marines returned to Cavite thoroughly exhausted.
 Lieutenant Wynne, with three-pounder, did good execution during the advance. General Lawton was not in personal com. mand of the movement.
 Captain Cowles' battalion of the Fourth infantry while reconnoitering today, found a body of several hundred insurgents neap San Nicolas.

The Condor Of the Andes,

The huge condor Of the Andes flies
the highest. 1t lifts itself to a height
where no sound Is heard, save the airy
tread Of its vast pinions, and from an
unseen point surveys in solitary grand
eur the wide range of plain and pas
ture land. Humboldt mentions the
flight of the condor in the mountains
Of Chilli, and among the Cordilleras of
South America. When up among these
mountains, at an altitude of $4,000 feet,
he observed these wondrous birds SAIL
ing in circles for hours together, SO
high above him that they appeared but
just discernible as minute specks in
the sky. This, when we consider their
immense compass of wings (extending
as some authority says, sometimes
from fourteen to fifteen feet from tip
to tip), shows to what an amazing ele-
walton these birds attain. Calculating
AUTOMATICALLY, Humboldt consid-
cred that they could not be less than
10000 feet to $4,000 feet above sea
level, and it has been asserted that
the condor sometimes attains an alti-
tude of six miles. The condor lays two
eggs during the months Of November
or December. The young are covered
with whitish down, and are unable
to fly for a whole year.

PATCH OF A DIFFERENT COLOR

When Skin Grating IL Done Those Con-

Many physicians in Chicago have re-
Gently shown a deep interest in the
matter OF skin-grafting, and several
operations of the kind have been un-
dertaken which have been successful
beyond the expectations of the physi-
clans themselves. These operations
have been quite frequent of late, both
in this city and elsewhere. At elm
ical lecture at a city hospital few
weeks ago the demonstration exhibited
a patient who illustrated the fact that
skin gratis do not always acquire the
color OF the individual on whom they
grow. Some of you," said the lectur-
er, twill remember the negro whose
leg was amputated in the clinic over
a year ago. Owing to an effort to save

defect covered by Thiersch's method OF
skin grating. Usually skin gratis are
cut from the individuals thigh, but
in this instance they were taken from
the leg OF white man which had been
amputated few moments before.
remember telling you that it seemed
a shame to mutilate black skin when
so much white skin was going to waste
and expressed in belief, based on the
investigation OF Karg, that pigmenta-
ton would occur and that the white
skin would gradually become black.
The operation of skin grating was a
perfect success and the patient was
discharged in two weeks with we'll
healed stump. He comes back for ex-
hibition today. The artificially formed
skin is firm, pliable and painless. but
as white as on the day 1t was il ant

it is matter Of no consequence. Had
it been unon the face and had the col

and the detective was wiry little
