party of guerrillas, who had made their
headquarters there. The party IN
cluded the band which assasslnafcd
seven officials at Malasqui for friendll'
ness to the Americans.
In IL state of Terror.
All are insurgents who became bani-
its when the disintegration of the FtII-
pino army began. They kept the coun-
try around Malasqui in state OF ter.
ror for several weeks, and committed
25 murders in less than that number OF
days. When they were caught they
were promptly sent to Gen. Mtc-
Arthur's headquarters at Bayambap3
by train. 1t is expected that they Will
be speedily tried, and either shot or
hanged as an example, if convicted.
Swnrms of Bandits.
The whole country north of San FER
nando and between San Fernando and
Manila. except within the permanent
line of troops around the city and the
closely -patrolled stretches of railroad,
swarms with similar bands. Probably
they will be increased by men from
Piar's army, many of whom are maxi
ing their way south to join the insur-
gent force in Cavite province.
Successfully Dodged the Soldiers.
These people, for the most part, sue
ceeded in lodging Gen. Grant, Col. Bell
and Col. Hoods troops, who are scour-
ing the country for them. They devote
tleir energies to ambushing commits
sary wagons and to picking up sol
diers who leave their commands. Lv-
cry day some wagon train is fired upon
or some soldier disappears.
4 Bold BoIomnn.
Gen. Wheeler's secretary. Mr.. Gar
rett. was disarmed and slashed by a
Boloman almost within sight of head
quarters, his assailant pursuing him
nearly into the headquarters building.
Frequently they raid and loot towns.
The brother of the president of linus
went outside the town the other day
to harvest some rice. He was captured
by his eompatriots, accused of being
a spy and executed.
Not an easy Problem.
Only a small proportion o. the insur-
gent arms have been surrendered and
the problem of suppressing this guerl-
la warfare is anything but easy of So
luton. Some of the American officers
think it worse than fighting indians
owing to the difficulties of the country
and the trouble in locating the enemy
who resort, when hard pressed, to the
amigo dodge and hide their guns.

LATE SORTIE AT LADYSMITH,
CeEsIderea ms Brilliant Piece OF WORN
Beers Don't Like to Encoun-
ter Cold steel

London, Dee. 10, 4:45 a. m.-Nlth the
exception of Sundays sortie at Lady
smith, which the morning papers are
unanimous in regarding as brilliant
piece of work. there are no further aa-
vices from the seat of war. a war
office dispatch reports that MateklnS
was safe up to December 4, but that
the Beers had been shelling the town
since November 27 with increased Ell
feet. Rations had been considerably
reduced, meat by half pound and
bread by a quarter Of a pound, in view
of a probable long siege Water, how
ever, was still plentiful.
Don't Like Cold Steel.
The Beers fear the British bayonets.
This is illustrated in the full accounts
now arriving of previous sortles. II
seems that in Sir Archibald Hunters
sally from Ladysmith to capture the
Boer guns the British did not carry
bayonets. While they were stormlng
the Beers. suddenly aroused from
sleep, rushed TO the edge and open an
indscriminate fire upon them. But Just
before the British secured footing on
the top Of tine hill someone among
them shouted: Fix bayonets and give
them cold steel.'N At this the Beers
turned and fled into the darkness.

No Small Pox at Cornell.

Cornell has had the last six or seven
weeks, a vast deal of advertising of Il
kind it does not care for. The first
week in April small pox appeared in
an adjacent comfy: and the officer of
the State board of health who investi-
gated the case by turning an attract
i've ear to all the la!mops ahoat in one
pr two towns east of Mt, vernan, talk
ed unadvisedly with various more or
less yeraclous reporters. AS result
almost every paper in Iowa published
us definite facts that the State board
of health had quarantined Mt. Vernon
five hundred students had been expos
ed, the college would be closed: at a
conservative estimate there would
be one hundred cases of small poX in
the college, there were two hundred
cases, there were five hundred cases at
Cornell. The pain which all these ut
terly false statements caused among
the thousands of relatives of the stud
ents cannot be estimated, but our let
ters home soon allayed all these fears.
The college has gone on It's way undis-
turbed. No students left. There has
been no small poX. But we have all
had several valuable lessons in ethics.
A thing is not so because it is in print.

you believe it. And don't repeat a
story unless you are sure it lis so. The

Fracas at Plymouth Rock.

The little town of Plymouth Rock
was all excitement Saturday evening
over an attempted robbery. One John
Munson went into the store early in
the evening, and struck down Nels
EllingSon and his wife, and COM
menced to do things generally. Geo.
Sears came over to see about the
trouble, and MunSon struck at him.
The crowd finally cornered Munson,
bound him hand and foot and tele-
phoned for Sheriff Christen. MunSon
complained Il great deal about the rope
hurting his hands, and they were
loosened, but in an opportune moment
he secured knife, cut the ropes off his
legs, rushed out to a horse belonging
to Henry Mcbride, which was hitched
in front of the store, cut the hitching
strap, and mounting, rode rapidly
away. He was tracked about three
miles northward, but has not since
been heard from.--Decorah Public

More Scared Than We.

People outside of CreSeo are more
scared about the small poX than our
own people. This is no doubt due to
the exaggerated reports sent out from
from various sources, chief among
which are reports to the, daily papers
sent out by Cresco correspondents who
should be ashamed of their willful mis-
statements of the fact as they are. In
stead of l50 cases and ninety deaths
from the so-called small poX, which we
are told was the report in Chicago
daily, we have only six cases in the
city, and not one of them has been
seriously indisposed; and not Il single
death from this disease has occurred.
1t isa pity that Cresco's reputation
and business must be injured by such
irresponsible correspondents. Our
sister towns have also run to extremes
and advise all to stay away, as armed
guards prevent ingress or egress to the
city, while the fact is that no quaran-
tine of the city has been for moment
seriously considered, as the number of
the cases or the virulence of the dis
ease, whatever it may he, did not
necessitate such extreme measures.
There is no question, but that the dis
ease'should be quarantined, but should
have been done two months ago, but
there is no doubt that with the pres
