RoUr THE REBELS
Gems. MscArthur and Funston Have
severe Encosnter with Insur-
gents Near SANTA Arits.

Manila, May 25.-Thirty Filipinos
were killed and over GO wounded in the
battle which took place Wednesday
morning between the American forces
and the insurgents at Santa Arita, one
mile north of San Fernando. The
Americans lost one man. Twelve Of
our troops were wounded.
The insurgents made the attack.
About nine o'clock the Fillpinos opened
fire upon the outposts of Gen. Mac
Arthur's command, The American
scouts fought bravcly, and held the
natives back until they were reen-
forced by troops from San Fernando.
Gen. Macarthur, at the head of two
battalions of the Montana regiment,
and Gen. Funston, leading two batta-
lions of the Kansas regiment, two guns
from the Utah battalion, one hotchkiss
and one gatling gun, hurried 10 the as
sistance of the outposts. The insur-
gents were occupying the trenches
which they had previously vacated Mt
the fall of San Fernando. The Kansas
troops deployed to the right, while the
Montana soldiers went to the extreme
left. The artillery was left in the cen
Ter of the line.
The Filipinos made desperate re-
sistance. Finally they attempted TO re-
treat, but found themselves fiauked by
the Kansas troops. Gen. Funston
charged his men, and drove the insur-
gents right over into the fire of the
Montana volunteers. Finally they
escaped from this fearful fire, but they
left their dead and wounded where they
had dropped On the battlefield. Be
sides the killed and wounded 90 were
made prisoners, while over leo stands of
arms were captured, having been
dropped by the natives in their wild
fight from the Americans fire.
Gen. Iawton is at Malolos. Prac-
tically his entire command is with
drawing to the region of the railroad.
The Americans will find it difficult to
hold the captured territory during the
rainy season. In n few days the roads
will be impossible.
Gen. Lawton, with most of his
troops, has arrived at Malolos. His ex-
petition marched 100 miles in 20 days.
had % fights. captured eight towns, de-
stroyed 100000 bushels of rice and only
lost six men killed and 81 wounded. On
the other hand, Gen. Lawton estimates
that his troops killed 400 insurgents
and wounded double that number.

INSPECTION OF PLANTS.
In No Other way Can the Introductioo
and Propagation of Insect
Pests He Prevented.

The need of government inspection
Of all importations of plants.and shrubs
and the danger TO the agriculturists or
the country through the present lach
of such inspection, was clearly shown
the other day at the agricultural de-
partment buildings in Washington,
when several large boxes of plants ar
rived from japan. They were opened
and number of them found to con-
tain young camphor trees intended for
distribution among the southern staes.
AS is usually the case. the various sci
entists of the department-the bug
men, the fungus specialists, etc,
present and on the lookout for any new
bugs, fungi or other pests. The expert
examination resulted in the entire lot
of camphor trees being burned up, al
though to all appearances they were
fairly healthy. Every plant was affect
ed by kind of anthracnose. and mill
dew and species of scale insect were
found.
The camphor tree as grown in the
United States is remarkably free from
diseases, but with the distribution
which might have been given this lot
of trees, perhaps highly injurious dis
eases and insects would have been in
troduced in all camphor growing sec
tons. Such diseases frequently do not
develop on the one or two-year-old
nursery plants. and if sent out by
nurserymen who do not take especial
notice and who. anyway. having paid
for their importation, are 10th to adopt
stringent measures, are very liable to
spdead an ineradicable disease before
its very existence may be known. The
camphor industry in the United States
is not now an important one, but i'll
later years il may he, yet this is simply
an example of what is liable to occur
in other and more valuable industries
There is absolutely no national protec-
ton possible under present laws. If
the nurseryman wishes to import
similar lot of camphor trees from
Japan, or some other more widely
grown tree, and send them out broad
cast over the country, even though they
be full of diseases, he cannot be stopped
by the government. Many of the worst
diseases and insects have been brought
into the United States in this manner,
occurring the annual outlay of thou
sands of dollars to combat their depre
datiOns; whereas. at a comparatively
small cost the government could en-
tirely control all imports of plants,
seeds, etc, and save growers from pos
sible additional losses through these
mediums. Germany, France, Italy and
even dozens of unimportant colonies
are enforcing stringent regulations in
this respect. but the United States, the
country in which the imports are larg-
est and most varied because of the en-
ergy of her people, is the farthest De

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.

Not "a the Ususi Msn-

A young girl from the state Of Washing
ton who came east 10 visit a western sen
ator's family last winter, had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
OF her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meas were sent TO her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing OF a
real, life-sized oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but ,Jmething altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she saId TO the waiter:
Bring me so oysters"
The waiter gasped.

ooh, no, she answered, eheerfully. Bring
newell, dinner, too.
She says herself that she had TO shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the
so oysters.
"fsn't that more than 50?' she asked.
"No, miss" answered the waiter. "Shsll

was the grin that did it. Her western
blood rose at it.

many. I'm hungry
She locked the door after the astonished
waiter, aud opened the window. i: was a
dark night, but she could see the roofs of
the adjoining houses Almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only narrow
alley. separated the buildings. She took a
fork, and deity and deXterously, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she could
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab

waiter returned, two oysters lay on her
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingy at her
"Was-was the oysters good!" he asked,
and he did not grin.
Fairly good" she made answer, calmly;
