Washington. May 1.-THE following
despatch has been received at the war de-
partment: Manila, Adjutant General,
Washington.
The situation is as follows Lawton, with
tact and ability has covered the Bulacan
province with his column and driven the
insurgent troops northward into san
Isdro the second insurgcnt capital,
which he captured this morning. He is
now driving the enemy northward into
the mountains. He has constant lighting
innicting heavy losses and suffering few
casualties. The appearance of his troops
on the TANKS of the enemy behind the en-
tranchments thrown up at every STRAIT agc
point and town is very demoralizing 70 the
insurgents and he has given them no op-
portunity to recancentrate their scattered
troops. X obbes column with the gunboats

Ancient symbolism of the glove.


In the history of dress the position Of
the glove is unique There was time
when the glove was an emblem of con.
tidcnce, Forming part of the regal
habit, it became badge of rank In the
middle ages the ceremony of investiture
in comforting dignities or bestowing
lands was consummated by the giving
of a glove. Likewise, the deprivation
of gloves was Il ceremony of degrade
tion
Then, too, it was the custom to give
gloves in payment of rent, the gloves
being accepted as guarantee of a re-
tsiner's service, which WAS the chief
condition of tenure On the Scotch
border the glove held high place as II
gage Here glove borne on the point
of u lance proclaimed an act of perfidy
Biting the glove was sign of hostile
intent and the usual prelude to a
quarrel
Throughout the history of dress they
are found symbolical of pledges, cages
gifts or favors Gloves also form part
of burial rites and We're carried in fu
neral professions until the middle of the
eighteenth century When maiden
died, IL was the custom to place in the
center of the garland which was borne
ON her coffina pair of white gloves-a
symbol of virginity and innocence

tieNhnueris ttrst victory In Asia.
The battle of the Ganicus. of which
Professor Wheeler gives vivid descrip-
tion in The Century. was remarkable
as showing the military genius of Alex
ander the Great at an early point in
his career 1t resulted in the crushing
defeat of the Persians. and had been
planned by Alexander in such way as
to leave the Greek mercenaries of Darius
practically out of the fight When the
Persians had been driven from the field
these mercenaries were rapidly disposed
of. such as were not slaughtered being
captured and sent home to slavery
The percentage of losses on the win

American sea fight Alexander buried
the few fallen Macedonians with high
honors and exempted their parents and
children from the payment of taxes.
The wounded received his personal at
tention. He went from one to the
other, looked at their wounds, inquired
particularly as to how they had been
received, and allowed them-what is
dear to soldier heart. and especially
to that of the Greek soldier-'to tell
their tales and brag of their deeds

STOPPING TRAINS.
Considerable Expense Attached TO the Work
Some Estimates.

| There Is no topic that Is discussed more
generally than that of the railroad Wher
people are at the stations waiting fol
| trains, the railroad is usually the princi.
pal subject OF conversation. Some times
there is person who is well posted on
the subject, and then again there are
many who think they are well posted
when in reality they are not. A man was
heard speaking Of this matter. Tuesday,
who may or may not be right. 1t was the
opinion of the reporter who heard him
that he talked as though he knew what
he was saying. and as he had the figures
so entirely at his command he must have
been right.
They were talking of the tanks along
the tracks of the railroad of which there
are so very few in this State.
1.-The use Of tanks along the track of q
railroad TO enable a locomotive to take
water without stopping, said the man,
was resorted to. in the first place, in or
der to shorten the time of running. and
for the passenger traffic only. The gain
is so slight, however, that some lines are
now abandoning the system.
= Another advantage is gained though
by the avoidance of unnecessary stops
1t costs money to bring a train to
standstill, and then to get 1t under full
Roadway once more The application Of
brakes wears both the carwheels and the
brakes. After a certa n amount of use. OF
course. renewal is necessary. and this
costs something. Moreover, as every one
knows. it requires much less power to
keep a train in motion than to start it
Power means fuel, ard fuel means shek-
els.
''An amusing variety of guesses hav~
been made of the exact cost of stopping
trains. A sensation was created, few
years ago. by the statement by an expert
that ii stop without letting of passenger
or taking one on Involved an expense OF
from $1.2S to sl.7O." This proved 10 be
ridiculously eXtravagant estimate. The
Baltimore Gazette recently quoted tw,

One manager believes that it costs Is
cents to stop train. Another makes tn
