Filipino European Junta Gives Out . .
Items Of News.
LONDON, April 2O.-The Filipino
! European junta claims to have re.
ceived a cablegram from General Luna,
commanding the Manila district" di
rect from Manila, on Friday, declaring
that General Lawton. "whose object
was to proceed to Baler and effect a
junction with the Yorktown" was in
weighed by the Filipino tactics into
''perilously% extending his line, with the
result that a column. consisting Of 14O
officers and men, on reaching a place
called Binangonam, was ambushed by
a large Filipino force, communication
with the main force severed, and the
entire column was captured"
The Filipino advices further assert
that General Lawton, who was at La
guna de Bay, on hearing the news ere.
tired to Manila. stating that he had
been recalled by Major General Otis. on
the ground that a native rising in Ma
Mia was imminent"
The foregoing is said to be a separate
affair from the disappearance of >the
boats crew of the Yorktown in the vi.
cinity of Baler.
The Filipinos also claim that they
have occupied the town of Zamboanga
in the Southern part of the the island of
Minandano. which was recently evacu-
ated by the Spaniards. only a few of the
latter remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans. The Filipinos are
also said to have captured 1000 Mausel
rifles, all the ammunition and several
gunboats. which the rebels say they
have navlgated up the Rio Grande, and
out of reach of the Americans.

New Year Greeting

We have been reviewing our
business career and find that we
have been doing business for almost
twenty years among the good peo'
nile of Kittitas and Yakima coun-
ties. Our establishment has grown
from an insignificant place to an
up to date, we'll stocked grocery
and first class bakery, and our
volume of business has grown in
proportion. During these twenty
wears we have done an enormous
business and have probably made
some mistakes which we are always
willing and ready to rectify.
We heartily thank the good peo-
pie Of ki,titas for their liberal
patronage. We intend to renOvate
our store from bottom to top next
spring. We have IA very large stock
of choice groceries, provisions and
wood and willow-ware which we
will sell at the very lowest figure
in order to make room for the car
penters and painters.
Remember that everything pur
chased at the Boss Bakery is guar
anteed, if not satisfactory money
will be refunded.
Again we thank you for your
liberal patronage and wish you all
a nappy and prosperous New Year.
