into the canebrakes and died there.
The Americans are working nobly In
their effort to find the wounded and
are bringing hundreds OF suffering
rebels to the hospitals for treatment.
The natives are unable to understand
the humane motives which prompt the
victors to succor the wounded of the
enemy. {.

Bro. Snyder, that prince of
church builders, has been resting
during the week after his long la
porous and successful work since
last April. Church Chimes takes
the liberty of saying to our good
Presbyterian friends, that the
proper thing to do and the just
thing to do would be to give Bro.
Snyder a purse of$lOO and send
him away for three weeks rest.
New Orleans during the Mardi
Gras season, now at hand, would
be splendid place for preacher
who has become tired and worn
by faithful service, to rest and re-
cuperate mind and body. Bro.
Snyder is just that preacher, you
ought to send him. A half days
solicitation will get the money.
The community at large will be
glad to contribute to this fund.
Rise up and do.it.-M. e. Church

The suggestion of Rev. Harris
is good one, for We don't believe
a minister ever worked harder or
more faithful thanRev. Snyder has
in soliciting the funds and super
intending the building of Missouri

The laborer is worthy of his hire
and Rev. Snyder deserves much

done.

martial, composed of officers of high
rank and Distinguished services, has
been found guilty Of conduct unwor-
thy an officer holding commission Of
the United States and obnoxious in
the highest degree to the discipline and
good order. of the military establish
ment. Such behavior is especially de-
servlng'of condemnation in an officer
holding high rank in the army and
charged with tbs performance of diff
cult and important administrative du-
ties in time Of great public emer
gency, and from. whom, when sub,
jected to adverse criticism, an unusual
degree of constFaint and elf-cdntrol
are infinitely expected.
".The proceedings, findings and sen
tence in the case, Of Brigadisr Genera,
Charles Z. Eagan, commisssry genera.
of subsistence, us. A., are, therefore,
approved. In view,; however, of his
gallant conduct In bettle upon more
than ono occasion, which merited and
has received the warm commentator
of his superic-e, and of his long and
honorable record of service, extending
to period surprising in duration thar
usually allotted to generation; hav-
ing regard eino to the mitigating cir
cumstances which were developed dur.

ence to the recommendation Of Glenn

tence imposed by the court is commut.

WAR NEWS.
Situation At Present.

Washington, Feb. Gas to the
change In condition wrought by the
ratification of the treaty today there is
. variance Of views, and Adjutant
General Corbin and Second Assistant
Secretary Abee Of the state department
wore giving the matter attention to-
day, with the intention of sending IN
structions for his guidance to General
Otis.
The opinion on one side is that UNI
I'll the Spanish government rstifles the
treaty 1t is not legal. According to
that view the United States lines can
not be extended for the time. Others
think the United States is at liberty to
do as It pleases.
Perhaps thereis justification for this
last view In the fact that the Filipinos
wore Spanish subjects nominally when
they broke the terms Of the protocol,
and thereby released the United Sts.es
from its observance.
MAY ASSUME OFFENSIVE,
The medium view, and that which Is
likely to be followed, is that General
Otis is justified in doing anything that
10 necessary to protect his army and all
American and foreign interests in Me-
Mia. even though this obliged him to
assume the offensive and to 60 outside
Of the old lines in pursuit of the in
surgents, who may be seeking to re-or-
ganize and recoup from their late de-
feat, with the intention of attacking
again.
Secretary Long this evening said no
additional orders had been sent to Ad-
miral Dewey, and he did not anticipate
that any would be necessary just now.
He had been acting on the theory that
the president desired to follow
che most liberal policy in dealing with
the Filipinos, and there was no Eeason
to change the policy.
Manila, Feb. 6-Latest careful esti-
mates place the Filipino losses up to
date at 1900 dead, $500 wounded and
5000 taken prisoners.

MANILA, Feb. 7.-Late yesterday
General Hale's brigade advanced and
took the waterworks at Singalon. Four
companies of the Nebraska regiment
and part of the Utah battery with
two field guns and two Hotchkiss guns
met the enemy on the hill, a half a
mile out and a sharp engagement took
place, in which the Nebraskans lost
one dead and three wounded.
DIR. Young, formerly quartermaster
sergeant in the Third artillery, was
wounded, captured, and brutally MUIR
dered, and his body, when recovered,
was found to have been horribly mutt
lated.
The Filipinos we're driven back, re-
firing in bad order, and carrying with
them the valves and heads of the steam
chest and cylinder of the pumping
machinery.
General Ovenshine's brigade adj
vanced and took Paranaque, capturing
two field guns. They met with no OPP
position. General Macarthur g division
advanced beyond Galafangin without
loss, the enemy retreatlng beyond Co.

The Americans now have the steam
car to Malabon and 600 Marines with
four Maxim guns, have been landed on
the beach north of the city. The Third
artillery, on the main road, and the
Utah battery in a cemetery, covered
the advance of the Kansas troops.
Among the important points cap
tured was strong embrasured earth
work within sight of Coloocan.
There was considerable firing from
the upper windows of the houses in
the native quarter of the city last
night, but no casualties have been re-
ported as the result.
The signal corps was compelled to
run their lines along the firing line
during the fighting, and, consequently,
there were frequent Interruptions of
communication, owing to the cutting
Of the wires, and the signal men were
ordered to kill without any hesitsncy
anyone who attempted to interfere
with the lines.
