Took whisky to Church.

GRIFFIN. Ga. Oct. 29.-Justice Reagan
has decided that a sick wife in church
does not excuse her husband for carrying
along bottle of whisky. The decision
was the result of a drive by a Mr. Bruce
to a country church with a supply OF
whisky under his buggy seat The clergy
man made an appeal 10 the courts, in
which the legal decision was that the
provision of law is violated when a per-
son attending church has in his buggy
a bottle of whisky and the buggy is left
standing within two hundred yards of the
church building" The defence was that
the liquor was carried TO be used by Mr.
Bruce's wife in case OF illness. Mr.. Bruce

London, Feb. 6.-The Morning Post
publishes the following account of the
fighting at Manila:
The immediate cause of the attack
was an advance by two FiIipinos to the
Nebraska outpost on the northeast Of
the city. When ordered to halt they r,.-
fused and the sentry fired. An ins,lr-
blockhouse No. Z and an attack was inn
mediately begun on the Nebraska regi-
ment.
The fighting soon spread on both
sides and the firing was In progress on
all the outposts around the city The
American troops responded vigorously,
the insurgent fire being heavy and the
attack hurriedly planned.
Firing continued throughout the
night, with an occasional cessation of
from half an hour to an hour at a time.
At daybreak the Warships Charleston
and Gallao began shelling the north
side OF the city. Their fire was followed
later by that Of the Monadnock on the
south side, the insurgents positions
having been previously located accu-
rately.
mThe Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy. The wounded on the Amer
ican side are now estimated at 200 Few
Americans were killed.

this cablegram told of the SUCCESS of
the American forces in the action 1t
was with great regret, however, that
the administration learned that the in
surgents had forced the issue. 1t had
hoped all along that they could be
brought to see the advantages of plac-
ing their trust in the American people
and relying upon the president to deal
justly with them. The administration
argued that with the Philippine COM
mission fairly on the sea, en- route for
Manila, bringing with them messages
from the president and with the peace
treaty still unacted on, it was not to
be believed that they would refuse to
wait to learn the purposes Of the Amer
lean government, but would precipitate
the long-impending conflict.
Not Taken by Surprise.
While this was true, the officials here
and the officers in Manila had not been
blind to the threat contained In the
situation there, and every preparation
has been made for just what occurred
last night 1t is now acknowledged
that the fear Of an outbreak in IuZon
was the explanation for the much COM
mented failure of General Miller to
force a landing at Iloilo, on the island
of Panay. Otis felt that he wanted all
of the troops at Manila, where was
located the center of danger. Part Of
Miller's force, therefore, was returned
to Manila. and that general was left
with one regiment of regulars and a
battalion of artiller-- just sufficient to
take advantage of any detection in his
front. but not enough to force his way
ashore and hold his own. This rather
as formal authorization, for he did
not need the instruction. Dewey was
told to cooperate fully with General
Otis in any measures the latter might
take. 1t is believed that 1t was un-
known to the insurgents, hut some of
the American warships We're moved
