FILIPINos ARE DESPERATE.
Trying to Force Americans to Make
an Attack.

an Attack.
Manila, Feb. g. - Saturday night
rebels concentrated in such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that Gen.
Macarthur anticipated an attack and
asked for reinforcements. Two COM
panies of the Twenty third regulars
were sent to Caloocan and a battalion
of the Twentieth regulars to the Gem
etery about midnight. But the expect
ed attack was not made, the rebels,
after making a great noise with bugle
calls and yells of 'sViva independence"
and "Mucho malo Americanos,' and
firing volleyS, disappeared in the
woods. 1t is believed their leaders are
getting desperate and are attempting
to force the United States troops to
make an attack in the hope of break
ing through the American lines, but
the rebels are evidently unwilling to
be pacified when facing the Ameri-
cans. 1t is just possible, however, that
they may be goaded into such a move
before more reinforcementS arrive.
According to the advices brought by
the steamer Neustra, whose arrival
brought the news that the American
flag had been raised over the island of
Cebu, the United States gunboat Pc
trel, Commander G. G.. Cornwell, Wis
tied Cebu on Feb. %. Commander
Cornwell sent an ultimatum ashore,
declaring the intention of the Ameri-
cans to take possession, peaceably If
possible by force if necessary. The
rebels

was landed and the American flag was
raised by them over the government
building, which they still occupied
when the Neustra arrived. A battalion
of the Twenty-third regulars left for
Cebu by the United States transport
Pennsylvania The same steamer
brought dispatches from Brig. Gen.
Miller at Iloilo to Maj. Gen. Otis, re-
porting that all was quiet there, that
there had been no further fighting;
that confidence had been restored and
business was being generally resumed.
Gen. Miller thinks it probable the
natives will soon become convinced OF
the error of opposing the inevitable
and that the example set by the IN
habitantS Of NegroS is having it's eff
feet among the other islands, which,
though not entirely convinced, are, in
Gen. NIiller's opinion, open to reason.
All is quiet at present inside and out
side of Manila except near Caloocan,
where the enemy's sharpshooters con-
tinue to annoy our troops at a COM
paratively close range. One man OF
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers was
killed At Marquina village, which
was burned Saturday night, four were
wounded in the skirmish, one of the
Idaho, one of the Minnesota and two
of the Pennsylvania regiments. No
such emergency exists here as is pre-
sented by reports circulated in the
United States - and cabled back to
Manila-to the effect that Admiral
Dewey had had collision of forcible
character with the German naval
commander

SANDY, a RAILROAD CAT.
The Pet of the Pennsylvania Termi-
nal Gone, without n Successor.


Many of the commuters who pass
through the Pennsylvania Railroad station
in Jersey CITY every day have remarked
the absence of Sandy, the big red cat,
from the waiting room and train shed; the
officials of the company have missed him,
even with some sense of loss, they say,
from the general Offices of the building in
the mornings. The reason for Sandy's
absence from the place that has known
him increasingly for many years is that
he was run over and killed in the train
shed only few days ago. He was pur-
suing rat; and, as one of the men sail.
"iust like the other Old employees, he got
too careless"
This cat was a remarkable animal. He
was horn in the station and lived there
for seven years. The points in which ne
was remarkable over the ordinary cat were
his regularity of life and his wide ac-
auaintance. He seemed TO take the bag
gage room as home, and he was in every

Aversion which the French Court
Felt for Water.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The woman of Glendale, L. l., who
wants a separation from her husband
merely because that gentleman has not
taken a bath since the couple were mar
ried nine years ago, may be an ornament
to this age, but TO an era generally ac-
counted refined and only little behind
our own she would surely have appeared
a little "fussy."

Harvest Home

This interesting annual was OBJ
served at the Reformed Church last
Sunday evening.
The church was tastefully decorated
with the choicest fruits, vegeta bles,
flowers, grains, etc. that garden and
fields have produced. One contrlbu
ton Is worthy OF especial note owing
to Its local iuterest-two unusually
tall sheaves of golden wheat, grown
on the Consolidation Coal company's
farm by the company's successful
farm manager, "a deacon of the church,
who kindly offered the wheat rs "a
decoration. These specimens were
shown at the late Baltimore County
fair, held at Timonium, and, owing to
their excellence, received the first
prize against strong competition.
The company and its farm manager
are to be congratulated on this product,
and Frostbucg may justly tlatter itself
on having such farm lands in its
vicinity.
The program, BETTING the occasion,
was an expression of gratitude to the
God of the harvest, finding utterance
IN appropriate recitatlons, songs,
chOruses, instrumental music, short
address in accord with the spirit of
the hour, prayer, reading Of Scripture,
and a substantial offering returned to
1.-THE Giver of every good and perfect
gift"
In the vocal portion Of the program
the choiisterS were assisted by DR..
j. G. Pfeiffer and Messrs. Mason and
George May Hill. whose proficient
services were very much appreciated.
There was large attendance and
considerable interest manifested by
everyone present.
The hope is expressed that "to all it
may have been what it was intended
TO be, an occasion of real spiritual
strengthening"

On a Sunday Spree.

Henry Jones, colored, visited the
hOspitable mansion of Moses Tross,
ditto, last Sunday and made himself
disagreeable because the family de-
INJURED to his unwarranted agrees

all the privileges of 'home rule" de-
fled Moses and eventually undertook
to suppress him by drawing a gun.
Moses ordered him off the premises,
and it was then Henry, fourishing his
emblem of conquest and pointing an
index finger downward, threatened to
prepare Moses for deposit Sin the cold.
cold ground Moses eludcd the trend
of Henry's digit of destiny, however :;

AHen Sketch.


AS stated last week, P. l.. Liven-
good. editor of the Salisbury Pa.)
Star, was here Sunday, 10th inst.
During the ensuing week he "dld
up" the people he met in way inter-
esting to the latter and peculiar to
himself. The JOURNAL quotes in part :
The party left Salisbury at a m. and ar
rived in FroStburg at about II a. M, where
all registered at the Gladstone hotel one of the
best and most popular hotels in the State of
Maryland.
The day was spent in looking up and co n.
versing with old friends, of which we found
a considerable number. The Star man and
foreman Mr.. T. r. Sufall, made the roun DIS
of the newspaper offices, but succeeded in
finding the latch string out only at the JOUR-
NAL office, where we found brother Oder
looking over his mail, if we remember rightly.
The veteran editor of the great paper was
in his usual cheerful mood, and although he
has grown old and gray in the newspaper
business, he nevertheless seems to be as
young as he used to be, especially when there
is a newspaper scrap" on hand. In stature
editor Oder is small man, but in ability he
is of far more than ordinary size. He is good
writer, and when in the course of human
events it becomes necessary to give some
other fellow a journalistic spanking, woe unto
the poor wretch that comes in contact with
his trenchant pen.
The GiedHer and Forum editors had their
sanct'u~S locked, as it was Sunday, and we
know that editors Cook and Cronin would
not miss Sunday school, preaching or class
meeting for anything. That's why we failed
to see them, which we regret
On the street We happened to come across
Messrs. 6. w. Slick and Uriah Stanton, the
latter an old schoolmate of the editors when
we were both going to school in Maryland
our native State, in the happy days of yore
Mr.. Slick is the same old Jesse AS of yore
He is just as full of jokes and harmless devil
ment as when We were a boy and he used to
tease spank and make up with us many
times a day. jesse has large clearing on
his head, but he isn't bit older than he was
20 years ago. Long may he live.
We also came across Messrs. W. A. Glot-
felty and John Hayman, two other old ac-
quaintances. The former is engaged in bust
ness in Frostburg and the latter is working
i'll Eckhart mines. Mr.. Hayman has grown
larger and better looking than when he used
to blow the torch in the Salisbury band, and
he never was bad-looking fellow. John is
just as good natured and jolly as ever, and he
says he is making very good wages in the
mines, never drawing less than $50 on pay
day, and ofte considerably more He saws
he can dig 10 tons of coal in the Elk Lick re.
gion as easily as he can dig tons in the
Georges Creek region, but he says the alb,
sence of company stores and the regularity of
the work are the things he likes about
Georges Creek.
The JOURNAL was not Choking over
Its mall but its files-in search of
proof that the usual big drum cylinder
statement concerning it is lie.
The proof was found, too.
