HOW A FILIPINO DIES.
gsuazly Stretches Himself Out and Meets
 @ His Death Easily.

His Death Easily
 g1e general, in white hat, was marching in advance of the firing line, when the discharge Of a rife was heard in the yard of house next to the road. Several soldiers rushed into the yard. but not in time to prevent two more Shots, which came whizzing in the di- rection of the general. At this moment q came to a break in the hedge, where l could see what was going on. 4 young Filipino was about thirty yards off. He was turning this way and that like an animal at bay, thoroughly fright ened He had q rife in his hand. It afterward turned out that this rife was ehoked. The soldiers were break ing down the high hedge to get in. Suddenly the Filipino made a run for s1ife. He got through the hedge some way and dashed across an open lot. Three shots followed, all of which took effect. The wounded man turned ran sideways few paces, lay down on the ground, and a second after was dead. l got good sight of the whole igcident, and so naturally did the Fil- ipino stretch himself along the ground and rest his head upon his arm that I thought he was shaL1ming. An exam. ination minute later proved that he was dead. There is this difference be- tween the manner in which American and Filipino soldiers die-the Ameri- can falls in heap and dies hard; the Filipino stretches himself out, and when dead is always found in some seasy attitude, generally with his head on his arms. They die the way wild animal dies-in just such position as one finds deer or an antelope which one was shot in the wood .--Harper's s Weekly.

apart, by proclamation of Pres. Arthur,
of large tract of land in Mobave and
Coconino counties as reservation for
the use and benefit of the Wallapai

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 Birmingham, August 12.-Liverpool ad- vices were in full response to our last nights advices, viz: One-eighth advance on spot and 2 and 8 points on futures. Rains were reported at Augusta, and two other points in the Carolinas. We opened irregular, unchanged on August. Septem- Der and up to November and December. As some locals were realizing on the theory that rains might occur in the southwest before Monday, the market thereafter ruled feverish with frequent small fuctua- tions, dependent on how the orders came. Weather reports from Texas show no change, being still dry. Liverpool cables attribute the advance to covering of bears.

Taibott & PaImer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobsoh.
 New Orleans. August 12.-A rather bull ish temper prevailed this week with spectl- lation in cotton expanding on a large scale. Foreign spinners and other specula- tors are reported to have interested them selves in the situation, a change in which has been brought about by the continuance of a drought in the southwest, also that spinners are bare of stocks, and that they are caught short of the market. The bu- reau made the condition of the crop 72 points lower than in last August. Improve ment over this day week represents $6 per bale. which means an earning of about $20,- GOO, 900 to the south in a weeks time. While the Chronicle was more favorable than gen. erally looked for, stil lit seemed to have no effect in the Liverpool market for values

New York, August 12.-The market in both woolens and cottons is in excellent shape and indications are bright for its continuance along advancing lines. Stocks are small and there is little chance of ac- emulation along any lines. This is true with regard to second hands, who are dis tributing dry goods more freely than for some time. Sellers show a decided disin- cMna ton to part with their stocks at ruling quotations Cotton Is firmer and the de- mand for forward delivery is frequently met with denials by manufacturers. In woolen goods new lines of worsted lines show advaned tendency which will un- doubtedly be confirmed by additional open iEgs next Week.

TaIbott & PaImer's Grain Letter

By Private Wire from Ware &s Leland
 Chicago, August E.--Wheat-Lverpoo came $ higher. Worlds shipments seven million bushels, including about 555 GOO bushels from Australia, and India. 200 900 bushels. English farmers deliveries. 297,- 900 bushels, against 40S0 000 bushels the pre- Vious week. Roumania may have A00O GOO for export. Paris, holiday. Antwerp, un- changed. The weather has been favorable in the northwest, but threatening for to- night and Sunday. High temperatures have prevailed in the southwest. Railway officials confirm damage by hail in Minne- sota and North Dakota. The crop on the Grandin farms is said to be utterly ruined. Reports of threshing far are not for a favorable character. Primary receipts, 5SS000; shipments. 215.0eO. Weekly exports were again heavy. 3.616,OO0 bushels. From July 1 to date, 9 900 bushels, an in- crease over last year of 3770,0OO bushels. Exporters bought 1000 bushels at the sea- board yesterday; we have heard of no 2 business today. Minneapolis flour sales yesterday, 45 900 barrels. Liverpool did not come as high as expected. and the market sold off early. The decline, however, brought in good sized orders to buy and commission houses were buyers. The full advance was not maintained, but the closing a strong one. The northwest was the incentive to strength and with the strong front shown here today it will no doubt waken up European markets. Weak spots may appear, but when they do, we think they should be taken advantage of to make purchases.
 Corn-Weekly clearances heavy, 5,9oO, ,000 There is a good export demand. local heavy operator who is heavily short of the deferred futures is said to be trying to get them in without attracting attention We look for sharp advance in May corn next week.
 Oats were quiet and. followed corn.
 Provisions--IIogs were strong, estimated g. 900 Monday; 10000 next week. Ship ments of meats and lard were liberal. Product was firner in sympathy with the grain markets. The bulk of the business consisted of changing. We are inclined to look for a higher level of values.

Talbott X Paimer's Stock Letter

By Private Wire from New York.
 New York; August 12.-The stock market opened weak under concentrated bear attack Influenced by the lower range of prices in London and fears of another un- favorable bank statement. There was de- clines of about per cent in the more &C., tive issues. After the first hour rumors became public that the bank statement would show a large increase in surplus re- serve, and the room traders began to buy bank stocks. When the statement was is- sued 1t was so encouraging that the mar ket advanced confidentially all along the lone. Tn most instances gains of 1 per cent. and over were recorded in both the rail- ways and industrials lists. The conspicu- ous feature of the iron and steel stocks was T. c. & l.. which advanced over 3 per cent A. s. W. was strong on the ex- pectation of very favorable report to &C., company the application for listing stocks. PennSylvania was especially strong, and Panhandle, after cratic fluctuations, ended over point higher. The market closed strong at about the best prices.
