Spanish trenches aud could get "a
good view of the sbombardnefaf. I
shsll never forget The impression it
made on me. How the shells went
flying overhead and bursting in The
Spanish trenches throwing the mud
and water over everything around.
Tire Spaniards stood it for awhile but
it was too much for them, and so
they began retreat. They were in
good view as they started back and
the thought came to me why not fire.
but no, could not fire on a running
foe. by that time the men that were
with me had crept mp until they had
got up where | was, and was looking
on, when the Spaniards started tore
treat. When one of the men called
out, s:now! Sergeant is our time let's
fire.. . He had hardly the words out
of his mouth when the Spaniards
turned and gave us q parting tyolley,
it was laughable to see how we al
hugged the ground, that cured me of
any compunction | had and so gave
the command to fire. i will never
forget the few yolleys we gave them,
/ could see them fall at the crack of
our rifles. There were only twenty
of us it is true. but while the Span
iards staid in sight we made it warm
for them but they were not long in
getting out of sight. After that 4
finished the road and waited for the
battery to come up, we did not have
long to wait and soon we were in ptr-
suit, and so It was q running fightsall
the way through until we drove them
into the walled city, or old Manila as
| it is generally called, there they ran
up the white flag, and when we saw
| it perhaps we didn't give three hearty
cheers, for we knew that the victory
was ours and the fight was over. i
have not went into a very detailed
account of all that happened that
day, suffice it to say that the battery
came out with flying colors, and were
the first to get to the walled city
without the loss of "a man. And
later we were marched into the city
of Manila. 1t did not seem that this
was war when we came into the city
proper, with its electric lights and
paved streets, for it was just at dusk
when we got into Manila. ] never
felt so odd at being in a strange place
like this before. A people with .
strange tongue and could not speak
our language, made me feel lonesome
and out of place in walking about
Manila. The first night we slept in
Chinese theater. lit was after mid
night before could get to sleep, for
thinking of the strange adventures 4
had passed through that day, and
was thankful to know / Was among

POLICE COURT METHODS.
liz Is Said Thnt Prisoners Are Need
Iessly Detained.


There was another long session OF the
Police Court yesterday, the work which
began at 9 q. m. not being finished until
after p. N. This was a long and hard
days work for the presiding judge, Ivory
C. Kimball. As is well known, the
Police Court of the District is divided into
two branches which are called the District
and the United States branches of the
court. Two judges are also appointed 10
preside over these separate branches OF
the court alternating every quarter, one
taking the District branch, which is called
the lower, and the other the United States
branch which Is known as the upper
branch Of the court. Under ordinary cir
cumstaDces the presiding judges in either
branch of the court can, unless there be
some unusual delay, dispose OF the matters
which come up for consideration by ! or
in the afternoon. In the upper branch
there are however, jury trials on particular
days. Sometimes. under these circum-
stances, a long session is necessary to dis
pose of the business.
Such. however, was not the cause Of
the long session yesterday. 1t was owing
10 the fact that there was only one judge
present TO transact all the business which
demanded attention A similar condition
OF affairs existed about six weeks ago.
when Judge Kimball was absent from the
city as Judge Scott is now. BY an ar
rangement between the judges, ii is said
that they extend their vacation from
month TO six weeks. each doing double
work. that is, attending 10 all the busi-
ness Of both branches of the court for two
weeks. This would be all right ii is SAID,
il it worked no Inconvenience 10 persons
having business before the court. But II
is said that the worst phase of the matter
is the hardship which prisoners are COM
PEELED 10 suffer. In some instances the
accused prove TO be innocent of the charges
preferred against them, but if they are so
unfortunate as to be unable to give bond
for their appearance at trial, they are
compelled TO wait, as they were yesterday
until a late hour for hearing

THE TRUST CONFERENCE.
ChicagO's Civic Federation Will No
Attempt to Dictate Its Work.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-To correct an impress
sion that a programme has been prepared in
advance for the Civic Federation conference
on combinations and trusts, to be held in
Chicago, beginning Sept. IL, the committee
on arrangements has sent out the following
letter:
THE committee desires to state that the
Civic Federation will not presume to organ
ize or forestall the work OF the conference,
but that where certain data and phases of
the problems under discussion require care
full preparation TO be of any value the COM
mittee has taken the liberty of inviting
recognized authorities, speaking from dill
ferent Standpoints and holding different
views, TO be prepared, the conference, how
ever, to determine the use Of such data or
erS. A full report OF the conference Will be
published ana distributed throughout the
country in pamphlet form. Every delegate
who desires should come prepared, and If
more papers are offered than the conference
decides 10 hear, such papers may be ordered
published"
Mayor S. NJ. Jones, of Toledo, has sent his
opinion of trusts to Secretary X. NJ. EaS-
ley in advance of the conference. Mr.. Eas-
ley wrote to Mayor Jones for certain infor-
nation and to-day received long reply.
There are two reasons for the organization
feet the saving that may be accomplished
by eliminating the waste of competitive
strife, and, second, because men long TO be
at peace with one another. They see a way
of escape from this unnatural competitive
warfare by organization for common pur-
pose. The trust, then, is a natural develop
ment and strictly in the line of economic
progress.
