assist as much as possible, and it is
generally agreed that if the bank had
been closed last week, severe
panic would have ensued, which would
have undoubtedly carried down other
stocks and wrecked many strong insti-
buttons.
During the past week the withdraw
ais from the bank have been exceed
ingly heavy, amounting, it is said, to
over 100000 in deposits. 1t was
stated that the closing of the institu-

QUEEN DOES NOT WEEP
Her Majesty Much Annoyed By
Unf0unded RumorS

London, Dec. 21.-Queen Victoria and
Princess Beatrice went by train from
Windsor to Marlborough this morning
and spent an hour with ex-Empress
Eugene. The queen has been greatly
annoyed by the unfounded statements
that she is in ill-health and perpetual
ly weeping. A paragraph contradicting
these stories appears in the papers,
which add that it has never been her
majesty's habit to display grief like
a hystei1cal school girl"

Special Programs of Song Ser
vice Arranged For Sunday
Morning and Evening
AUGMENTED CHORUSES
THOROUGHLY DRILLED
Vocal and Instrumental Artists
Will Discourse the Best Works
of Worlds Famous Composers

AS is the usual custom, almost all
the Worcester churches will have spe-
cial services of some sort in honor Of
Christmas, and in most cases they will
consist chiefly of special music at the
regular services though some of the
churches will have extra services Mon
day. Christmas music in churches
naturally is made up of anthems and
carols pertaining to the day. and there
il a wealth of such kind of music to
choose from. Bach, Marston Barrett,
Gounod. Handel and numerous other
composers of religious music, have pro-
duced some wonderful works for use
in Christmas services, and in looking
over the programs for Sunday in the
various churches, it will be seen what
a great part this music is in the proper
celebration of the day.
The Spy this morning prints a num-
Der of programs and all the reader
who has no church preference, has to
do. is to select the music which seems
to fit his taste best, and then go and
hear it.

WASHINGTON, d. @. (speciaD. I'm his IN.
nual report, made public at the War De.
partment, Major-General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the army, says:
Sowing to the additional and extraor.
dinary expense placed upon officers while
serving In the Philippine Islands, Cuba;
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands, It Is
recommended that they be allowed the
same percentage OF the increase OF paw
that is now provided by law for the enlisted
men.
cit is also recommended that officers Of
the army with creditable records who
served during the Civil War shall be grant,
ed the same consideration concerning rank
and pay as has been accorded officers OF
the navy by Section II, act approved March
s, 1899.
Gas far as organization Is. concerned,
the army Is in transition state. It Is be.
lieyed that the force will be ample for the
service required OF 1t up to the time author
lied, viz, July l, 1901. It Is gratifying to
note that the Government has authorized
military force which seems commsn-
surate with its requirements, magnitude
and institutions. have for years recon-
mended the adoption OF standard In pro.
portion to the population-vIz., not to ex-
ceed one soldier to every 1000 Of popula-
tion-and believe that the establishment
Of such standard would be safe and
judicious in every respect.
During the past few. years rapid progress
has been made in the equipment OF the At
lantlc ,Pacifo and Gull coasts with modern
defenses, and II the general plan Is carried
out 1t is hoped that In short time our
coasts will be In a proper condition Of de.

MIGHTY TELEPHONE WAR.
Life and Death Struggle Going on
in Federal Courts.
A Contest Between the Boil Interests and
q Number OF Independent Tele-
phone Companies.

BosToN, Mass. (SpeclaD.-A legal battle
between gigantic financial interests has
begun In the United States Circuit
Court for the Eastern District OF Massa-
chusetts in this city. The contest is NOM
inally between the American Bell Tele-
phone Company and the National Tele-
phone Manufacturing Company Of Boston,
but 1t IS In fact struggle between the
great Bell telephone interests and large
number OF Independent concerns which
have sprung up within few years.
Upon the decision of the action now be-
ing heard will depend the disposition OF
many millions OF dollars in value upon the
one side or the other. Although It is cer-
tain that neither side will rest until the
case has been decided finally by the United
States Supreme Court much Is likely to de-.
pend upon the trial before the Circuit
Court and u judgment that will be OF
prestige to the side that 1t favors.
This contest, too, Is looked upon as the
last that will be made, either to establish
or to break the validity OF the claims un-
der which the American Bell Telephone
Company has built up and now holds its
great and remunerative collection Of busl-
ness enterprises. Should the suit for In
frlngement brought against the National
Telephone Manufacturing Company fall It
will throw the entire telephone field open,
without material restriction, to the indepen-
dent operators who have established
themselves and covered large part Of the
country with their telephone wires and
exchanges. Should the American Bell
Telephone Company win, these indepen-
dent operations would receive serious
check. In fact, there would then be
strong possibility that they would fall into
the hands Of the Bell Company, just as
many another company has that attempted
competition. 1.
The matter at issue Is embodied In patent
463, 500, which was Issued to Emile Berliner
OF Washington, D. c., on November II,
1891, and still has nine years to run. The
circumstances connected with the Issuing
of this patent were such as to induce be-
lief that they involved fraud and Rn attack
was begun upon the patent almost az
soon as 1t was granted. The applica.
tion for the patent was filed on June 4, 1877.
or fourteen years before the patent was
issued. During all this time the applica-
tlon lay in the Patent ONCE, and as soop
as 1t was issued charges were made that
1t had been held back through fraudulent
collusion between the Bell people and
Patent Offlce employees In order that 1t
might finally be issued just in time to save
the monopoly OF the Bell Company when
this was threatened by the expiration Of
its earlier patents

wounded,

General Wheaton was informed that the
enemy was gathering at San Jacinto Tor
the purpose OF preventing tue Americans
from controlling the road from Dagupan
north. whereby Agutnaldo might retreat.
The Thirty-third Regiment, Colonel Howe
Thirteenth Infantry, with Gatltng gun,
Rowland commanding, were sent to dis
perse them. .
The insurgents opened the fight two miles
from San Jacinto, while the leading Amerl-
:an battalion was passing group OF
houses in the midst OF a cocoannt grove,
knee deep In mud. The Filipino sharp
shooters, hidden In trees, houses and a
small trench across the road, held their
Are until the Americans were close to them.
When they began firing other Filipinos
opened fire from thickets, right and left,
further away. The insurgent sharpshooters
picked of the officers first. Five OF the
Americans who fell wore shoulder straps or
chevrons.
The Thirty-third never wavered. Its
crack marksmen knocked the Fllipinos
from the trees like squirrels, and the
Americans rushed the trench, leaving four
dead insurgents there. The regim ent then
deployed under fire, with Major John A.
Loean's battalion in the centre, Major
Cronic's on the right and Major Marsh's
on the left. The skirmish line. which was
a mile long, advanced rapidly, keeping up
a constant fire.
The Fllipinos made an unexpectedly good
stand, many OF them remaining behind
cover until the American were within
twenty feet OF them. Major Marsh fanked
a small trench full OF insurgents, surprls.
Ing them and slaughtering nearly oil OF
them before entering the town. The Cat
ling killed five OF sthe force holding tho
bridge and swept the country beyond the
town, driving about one hundred and fifty
Filipiuos into the hills. Marsh's battalion,
entering the town first, captured big
battleflag which was flying over convent.
The insurgents are supposed to have re-
treated toward Dagupan. II was impos-
sible TO pursue them, as the American
troops we're exhausted and their supply
Of ammunition was low. The outposts
killed FIVE Filipinos during the night.
The body OF the Filipino lieutenant
colonel commanding was found among the
killed.
A proclamation OF the Filipino Secretary
Of War was found In al the villnges, giving
glowing accounts OF alleged Filipino vic-
tories, and saying hat 1900 Americans
had been killed and 5000 wounded In the
war.
General Otis has learned that Aguinaldo
recently issued proclamation transferring
the capital to Bayombong, giving rs a rea-
son for the step the unsanltary condition
OF Tarlac.
The rapid approach OF the Americans was
a complete surprise to the insurgents, as
the latter expected them to move slowly,
as they did from Manila to Angeles. A
majority OF the natives welcome the army
enthusiastically, but some who have been
deluded by stories OF American cruelttes
hide in the swamps. When the news
spreads that the Americans intend to re-
main and establish order the population
flock to their homes, bringing with them
their cattle and household goods.
