Manila. March 26.-s:15 a. m.-Twen-
pital is the latest statement Of the
American losses in the engagement
with the PHILIPPINES.
Today's fighting furnished a specimen
of the difficulties with which the Amer
leans have to contend. The Ph1lp-
pinos never, except opposite Malabon,
permitted their opponents 10 get with
in several hundred yards Of them.
They would fire a few volleys from
their cover and then scuttle back to
another cover, repeating these tactlcS
for miles. Many of the trenches had
gullies and connecting paths through
the cane and brush, enabling them TO
retreat unseen.
The problem the Americans have to
to fight in force. The trenches seem
thinly manned, except in the vicinity
of Malabon.
The Americans, fighting a hidden foe,
suffered greater losses in proportion
than did the enemy. The loss of the
Philippines had formerly been estimat-
ed from the number of bodies found
scattered in the swamp and through the
brush. A larger percentage Of the enc
mys wounded died than of the Ameri-
cans, many Of them perishing from neg
lect, the Americans naturally attend
ing their own men first. The wounded,
after treatment in the field hospitals,
were brought to the Manila hospital
by train. Several trips were made
from Caloocan largely Of Damaged SOL
diers, who shouted: Give 'em hell,
boys
The gunboat Helena and two army
gunboats command Malabon, but the
authorities desire to avoid smashing the
town, where there is much valuable
property belonging to foreigners, and
where are located warehouses Of most

AT A SPIRITUALISTuC sEANCE
A Wonderful naturalization and n
Most Embarrassing Sequel

When Hon. John Sherman returns
from his voyage he will have the un-
usual experience Of reading numerous
obituaries which were prompted by the
erroneous report of his death. Probably
ing the rumor, which was accepted as
true by the people. as well as the state
department, occurred at a spiritualistic
seance at a North Side residence the
night before last.
a number of devotees Of Spiritual
ism had assembled TO gather tidings
from departed friends and loved ones.
Messages and communications of various
sorts were received from those who had
gone TO the other shore, and were heard
and read with eagerness by their living
friends and relatives.
The slate was again tied UP, with the
pencil placed inside. The usual scratch

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT
Gives the Beef Court His Experience al
to Canned and Refrigera' 'Or Beef


New York, March 25.-The army
court of inquiry Investigating the
charges made by General Miles that the
beef furnished the soldiers in the
Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns was
unfit for use, convened in this city to-
day.
Governor Roosevelt was the only
witness examined in this city. He
told of complaints of the canned roast
beef while on the transport and also
in Cuba. 1t did not agree with the
men.
Major Lee was about to ask a Ques-
tion when the governor interrupted to
say he wished to speak of the talk of
the ''embalmed beef" ''When We
left Tampa" he said, two or three
quarters of beef were put aboard our
ship. I was told to put it in the shade
1 understood it was specially treated
for the tropics. 1t did not last and a
board of investigation decided to throw
it overheard"
Can you remember the brands or
labels on the canned roast beef COM
plained of, either that used in Cuba or
at Montauk," asked Major Lee.
Swifts and some Armours I believe"
swifts and some Amours I believe" :"
will you tell u.s." asked Major Lee,
"what in your opinion ia the value Of
the cannend roast beef issued at Cuba
and elsewhere as an army ration"
Il wish to say unhesitatingly that
is was utterly unfit and unwholesome
for troops. My experience proves be-
yond shadow of doubt or question
that at it's best the canned roast beef
was unpalatable, and at it's worst it
was uneatable and unwholesome
No one had any further questions to
ask the governor and the hearing was
closed. The court adjourned to Gov
ernor's Island.
