HE REBELS REPULSED.
'en' Wheaton's Line Attacked at Night.
Filipinos Driven Back with
Heavy Loss,

MANILA, April l2.-At about midnight
Monday the rebels cut the telegraph line
at several places between here and
Malolos and signal fires were lighted
and rockets sent up along the foothills
to the right Of the railroad. Later the
enemy attacked the outposts Of the
Minnesota regiment between Bigaa and
Bocave, five miles south Of Malolos,
killing two men and wounding Ia.
simultaneously the outposts Of the
Oregon regiment at Marilao, the next
station on the way to Manila, were at
tackled with the result that three Amer
leans were killed and two were wounded.
The loss of the enemy was ten men
killed and six wounded. The Ameri-
cans also captured two prisoners.
Troops were concentrated along the
railroad as thicklv as possible and the
rebels were driven back to the foothills.
The roadbed of the railroad was dam
aged, but it was repaired almost imme-
diately and traffic was soon resumed
through to Malolos.
1t was supposed that many of the
rebels who attacked General MacAr-
thurs line of communication and who
were repulsed by the troops commanded
by General Wheaton were natives who
entered that region III the guise of
friendlies. They had seemingly secreted
arms i'll several places and fired on the
Americans from the bushes at so close q
range that they could be heard talking.
One of the Filipinos yelled in English:
1--WE will give you damned Ameri-
cans enough of this before we are
through"
The rebels undermined the railroad at
Marilao ana unspiked the rails in an ef-
fort to wreck train while this railroad
gang participated in the fight The
work of the rebels was discovered and
repaired before train arrived.
General Wheaton was preparing to
punish the Filipinos.
The military gunboats Napidan and
Laguna de Bay succeeded in entering
the Santa Cruz river and captured a
small unarmed Spanish gunboat and
three launches which they discovered
there.
The military gunboat Oeste brought
81 rebel wounded, dead Filipino and 9
wounded Americans to the hospital. 1t
became known that so insurgents were
killed during the capture of Santa Cruz.

was plying her with questions.
"What was my manner at the time?r

This was objected to and the court

BERLIN, April l2.-There was u sud
den veering Of views upon the part Of
both the minister Of foreign affairs.
Baron Won Buelow, and the emperor.
A foreign Office official said to the COR

in energetic language that Germany,

the American and British governments
unmistakably disavowing the fragrant

added:
"When the commission starts it must

More energetic still was the semi.

Indiscreet Remarks
TO A WITNESS FOR TIE STATE.
Told Her to'be Careful What She Said on
the Stand and Tell What Was True
defense Attorneys Know
Nothing OF It-were

-Defense Attorneys Know
Nothing OF It-were
Surprised.
A story is being circulated today that
an effort has been made to intimidate q
witness for the state. 1t is learned that
the prosecutor knows OF the story and
that it has been unofficially brought to
the attention Of the court. 1t is said
that an alleged star that the state is to
introduce, woman, was approached by
an officer of the court and told that she
would better be careful to say nothing
damaging of Mrs. George on the stand
as she would get into trouble If she did.
The state is said to feel that it has been
greatly offended in this regard and is
talking Of bringing action against the
party who is alleged to have offended.
Prosecutor Pomerine is said to insist
that the story is true, but attorneys for
the defense heard of it for the first time
today when approached by the News
Democrat man and told of it. Both Mr..
Welty and Mr.. Sterling say that they
knew nothing of such action on the part
of anyone.
1t is said that the court officer, who,
by the way, is not regular officer
stationed in the court house, but whose
duties are in another department OF the
county's work, says that the story is
not true and If he said anything to
anyone he simply said that care
should be exercised to make certain
that every statement that is made is
correct, which is often good and we'll
placed advice. II the matter devolopes
it will doubtless be found, IS in other
casee, that there is more than one side
to it.
The witness alleged to have been ap-
preached is said to be one of the sur
prise springers on the part of the state
and who will be introduced later. One
who knows Of the story OF the alleged
attempt at intimidation says that il
anything of the kind were attempted it
was done throughpersonal zeal and need
not in any way reflect on the defense
who knows nothing about it.

patches that the German government
was about to make a demand for a dis
avowal of Admiral Kautz's actions, it
may be stated that our government will
certainly not accede to any such request

the admiral acted wrongly, the pre-.

contrary is shown to be the case.

hardly a case of recovery is related which
does not impress this fact. And the form
err populst congressman from Alabama,
M. w. Howard, seems to have suffered
the most severely of all.
ADroDos of this collection, the exper-
fence of a man riding in the cars with a
Vermont congressman is worth relating,
For some reason. Vermont statesmen are
won't to point with pride to a celebrated
establishment which manufactures pro-
prletary medicines in that state, and they
evidently like to encourage local industry
by recommending its wares. Or per-
haps the medicine meets local needs.
At all events, the pictures of both rep
resentatives in the house We're travelling
broadcast over the country, when a man
who happened to be riding with one of the
representatives picked UP a newspaper
containing the picture of his colleague.
II cannot for the life of me see why pub
lie men allow their pictures to go over
the country in this way" were the words
which began to pour into the ear of the
representative. He did not re-
spond so enthusiastically as might have
been desired, and as his companion went
further and further in decrying such
things, he finally stammered out that
somebody had told hin that this same
concern had his picture, too, but just how
they got it, he was a little uncertain. He
did not think much of such things him
self.

In a colder and more rigorous climate.
The Americans are the leaders in all the
social and political affairs. They are the
descendants of the missionaries who
came to the islands three-quarters of a
century ago. but they do not hesitate to
extend social courtesies with the half
breeds or the educated native. In fact,
many of the latter are extremely refined
people. They live in luxurious homes,
send their children to American and Eu-
ropean institutions of earning and have
all the comforts that wealth can bestow.
AS the result there is very little of tina
feeling of color distinction that prevails
In America.
The more common people. of Hawaii are
a picturesque and interesting study, for
while they have made a pretense Of
adopting the customs of those with whom
they have been thrown in contact, they
have still retained the traits that have
been the characteristics Of the race since
the earliest days of savagery. They still
feast on taro. raw fish n poi. that queer
mixture that looks like paste, feels like
cold yeast and tastes like buttermilk. and
they are still the careless, lazy people
they always have been. The kanaka man
wears a white negligee suit, much like
that of his more civilized brother. but
about his shoulder he wreathes a garland
of flowers and in his wide-brimmed straw
HdI are thrust many mowers and peacock
feathers. The women also go barefoot.
They wear a bright-huel Mother Hub
bard, belted in with festoons of gaudy
flowers and green vines.
In the Hawaiian islands one may Sc
lect the kind of climate that is best suit
ed to him and know no other. He may
select a spot that is sufficiently cool, while
yet frosts are unknown and chilling winds
blow not; he may select another spot
where the heat is excessive. or he may
ascend frof the sea to the mountain tops
and feel the air growing cooler with al
most every step. In fact, as one scientist
has remarked. Every graduation of tenn
perature. altitude and humidity, with va
rying forces and volume of wind currents.
is presented in the Hawaiian islands"
Moreover, each grove, beach, vale, sum-
NIT and belt of LAM preserves it's re-
spective climatic attributes almost I'M
changed throughout the year" 1t is this
latter fact that has made these islands
the ideal spot for invalids. A certain eli
mate may be selected, and there one may
remain without fear of change or, by
travelling about from place to place one
may follow is something like the ro-
tation of the seasons in the temperate
latitudes, without danger of meeting
those sudden changes of temperature
