The territorial weather bureau il
its first bulletin for this spring gives
the following weather history: "The
past winter has been unusually cold,
with a general precipitation some
what below the normal, which de-
dciency, however, in effect, was more
than made up for by the unusually
heavy snowfalls in the mountain
ranges. The weather has been such
as to permit the snow in the noun
tains to pack and harden, thus insur-
ing a steady supply Of water ia the
rivers for some time to come. Febru-
airy was about 3 degrees colder than
the normal, and many consider IT the
coolest February on record. The pre-
cipitation averaged about a quarter of
an inch below the normal amount.

fact that the weather was quite

March was very dry up to the last
week, when several good SHOWS and
rains put the soil in lne condi-
ton for working, and gave a good
start to vegetation. frost w5s out Of

ten days good progress was made 10
preparing the soil for crops; 4 consid-
cradle amount OF the spring wheat
was sovn, aud SOME oats. During the
1rst ten days Of April the weather
has been quite changeable, and gen.
orally cold, but the showers and light
SHOWS have been very beneficial to
starting vegetation, although inter.

conflicting, but it is quite certain that

The Clash Has Come and We
Scored a Victory on
the First Round,
THE FILIPINOO OPENED THE BALL.
Our Blue Coats Didn't Do a Thing
To Them, No Not a
Thing,
THE FILIPINOS OPENED THE BALL

Manila, Feb. 5 -Taelong rupture
between the Americans and the
Filipinos has come at last. The
former are now engaged in solving
the Philippine problem with the
utmost expedition possible,
The clash came at $40 yesterday
evening, when three daring Fill
pinos darted past the Nebraska
regiments picket at Santa Mesa,
but retired when challenged. They
repeated the experiment without
drawing the sentry's,fre. But the
third time Corporal Greedy chal-
lenged the Filipinos and then fired,
killing one of them and wOunding
another.
Almost Immediately afterwards
the Filipinos' line, from Calvocan to
Santa Mesa, commenced fusillade
which was Intellectual. The Me-
braska, Montana and North Da
Kota outposts replied vigorously
and held their ground until rein
forcements arrived.
General Merritt says we can hold
our own against the Filipinos.
Commodore Dewey cables the war
department to double his order for
ammunition.
About one o'clock the Filipinos
opened a hot FIRE from all three
places simultaneously. This was
supplemented by the fire of two
siege guns at Balik and by advance
Ing their skirmlshers at Paco and
Pandacan. The Americans res
ponded with a terrife fire.
The United States cruiser Char
lesion and the gunboat Concord,
stationed off Malabona, opened fire
ON the Filipinos' position at Calvo-
can-and kept it up vigorously.
New York, Feb. 5,-Gen. Merritt
regards the situation as of pressing
moment. He says the present dis
turbances are due to our passive
policy. He tells how the Filiplnos
fight utterly beyond discipline. We
can beat them back easily. Ours
is a case of mistaken kindness,
We should deal with a strong hand.

This from a man of close upon eighty.
and after sixty years5of glorious labor on
another occasion l came just as a discus
sion on the art of singing was in progress.
Verdi had the most uncompromising ideas
on the subject, and so unlike the stereo-
typed conception that they are worth re-
producing. Singing with most people, or,
rather in the opinion of the majority
teachers included, means eyoice production"
and little else. So that if you get a nice
tone a pleasing quality and a sufficient
volume of sound. if your intonation is cor
rect and the voice generally steady you
are put down as a singer. With Verdi all
these qualities. undoubted as they are, go
for nothing as qualifications His opinion
is that mon s'impara a Cantare" you can
not learn how to sing; no. you must have
it in you, and by singing he means accent

The most beautiful voice on earth meant
nothing to him without these. and he would
not accept any arguments in proof of pos
sibilities of teaching to accentuate

feel the accents, and then he told us how
once he was coaching celebrated singer
in a part that just suited his splendid
voice; the man would have been the sue
cess of the opera but for his inability to
understand what Verdi wanted. Il was
asking him to give me more accent, and he
was giving me more voice. Then I sang to
him and he repeated phrase after phrase
correctly. but the care in accentuation was
so patent that the whole became worse and

Nothing can convey an adequate idea Of
the intense power with which sentences or
arguments were almost "chucked" at you;

deriying all, the fire of those wonderful
eyes, and the truly imperial bearing Of
the great man. | do not think there is
another never-to- -be-forgotten impression
such as that one carried away from al in
teryiew with Verdi.
And when Verdi smiled you were his
slave and ready for anything for his sake.
And still Verdi has the reputation OF a
hard man. It depends. Verdi will let you
or me or anyone starve and go to the dogs
and look on serenely uncOncerned; but he
will leave a million to a hospital or all his
fortune to charity. a man az an indiyidu-
