REBELS USED ARTILLERY.

Made an Energetic Defense of Their Posi-
tion at Calumpit.
MANILA, April &c. - Aguinaldo's
army defended Calumpit energetically.
For the first time the Filipinos en-
pIoyed artillery. They brought two
guns into action in the trenches before
Calumpit, firing modern shrapnel,
which burst over the heads of General
Wheaton's men without effect.
The fighting was resumed at o'clock
in the morning. During the night the
American engineers repaired the Bag
bag bridge, thus enabling our troops to
cross the river.
General Wheaton's brigade advanced
in extended order, with the Kansas reg
iment west of the railroad, and the
Montana regiment to the east of
it, and took up position covering
one and half miles on the south bank
of the Rio Grande. On the opposite
bank were fortified trenches from which
a few American soldiers would have
been able to defy thousands, so strongly
were they constructed.
Found the Trenches Deserted.
The Americans found the trenches on
the south bank of the river deserted,
which furnished them with cover, from
which they would pick off Filipinos
whenever one of them showed his head.
When the rebels began firing, two puffs
of smoke simultaneously from the
trenches on each side of the railroad
track showed they were using cannon,
which was genuine surprise to the
Americans. Several shells burst close
to General Wheaton's staff, but it
seemed that the Filipinos failed to mas
ter the machinery of modern shells, as
they were unable to get the right range.
Young's Utah battery was ordered
into position in the center of the Kansas
regiment to silence the rebel guns, and
at II o'clock the rapid fire guns had
been ferried across the river and came
into line.
\ At noon the rebels were still pouring
VI heavy fire in the direction Of the
Americans, who returned it spiritedly.
Two Americans were killed and seven
8 were wounded. . -. 80 - r. rs q
At about this time General Hale's
brigade was advancing east Of the line,
apparently to cross the river and attack
the rebel trenches in the flank.

Gotham's "Uncrowned King"
Much Pleased by the Tribute

NEW YoRK, April 27.-Schard Gro
ker sailed during the morning aboard
the American line steamship New
York. When the Tammany chief
reached the pier half an hour before
the big liner pulled out of her berth, he
was met by party of friends who had
come down to say "bon voyage" Mr..
Croker was all smiles and he nodded
pleasantly 10 as many IS caught his eye.
Then, fanked by his immediate advis-
ers, he moved toward the gang plank.
In minute he had made the ascent and
stood on the main deck. There was
hurried movement by the awaiting pol
iticians whip followed up the incline
which straineo under the load. Mr..
Croker was soon pressed ON all sides,
and finally found his position SO uncom-
Portable that he fastened into the main
salon. The crowd behind followed until
he stood at the foot of the stairway
leading to the upper deck.
And the Crowd Went Also.
Up these went Mr.. Croker quickly,
his friends and political associates right
on his heels, When the main deck was
reached he was again surrounded and
the reception that followed appeared TO
give immense satisfaction to the depart
ing Tammanyite. AS the time for the
sailing of the ship drew near the crush
on the deck where Mr.. Croker was
holding his levee became so great that
it was with difficulty that one could
even elbow Ills way to the central fig
ure. HUNDREDS of hands were thrust in
front of EE-ss Croker and he grasFed as
many as II was physically possible to do.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, who, with his family,
boarded the New York, was scarcely
recognized in the excitement and en-
thusiasm which attended the departure

TURNS OUT SILVER DOLLARS.

Gang of Counterfeiters at Work in the
Colorado Penitentiary.
CANON CITY, Colo, April 27.-The
discovery has been made that some
very successful coiners have been oper-
ating inside the state penitentiary here.
The counterfeits are silver d, lars, and
it is believed they are of ombination
principally of babbit metal, which was
used in setting the gratings during the
construction of the prison. It is sup
posed the coins were made in plaster of
Paris moulds. The coins were first dis
covered by merchants who sold delica-
cies to the prisoners. This led to an in
vestigation and 20 of the bogus dollars
were found in the possession of the pris-
oners, though no clew was obtained to
the identity of the coiners. The coins
are SO well executed as to deceive al
most any one. s ar-f ss. .sr.

combine he gave it to be understood
that the Anaconda property had not

knowledge that the trust had been con-
summated. Continuing, he said:
"It.looks as though the deal would go
through, but the talk of capitaliza-
ton of $500, coo, 900 is nonsense. That
is a greatly exaggerated figure. It
would simply be impossible to make
fair earnings on such capitalization. :"
