FILIPINOS PREPARE
FOR A GREAT BATTLE
Insurgents Make a Vicious Assault
On American Trenches.

Manila, May 10.-The Filipino Cen
eral Mascardo's army. inspired by wine
taken from the storehouses of Bacolor
and by the generals oratory on Monday
evening, attacked San Fernando. There
was tremendous yelling and a great eX-
penditure of cartridges by the rebels,
but very little result.
General Mascardo holds the outskirts
of Bacolor, west of the railroad. In
front of his position are the Kansas and
Montana regiments, which occupy
trenches that the Filipinos built in an
ticipation OF an attack from the direc-
ton of the sea.
During the afternoon of Monday Cen
eral Mascardo, with a large retinue of
officers, rode along the lines, frequently
stopping 10 harangue his warriors. AT
dusk detachment of rebels rushed to-
wards the outposts of the Montana regi-
ment. but were met by a hot fire from
the Montana regiment line. The in
surgents from trenches nearly three
miles long, responded. After an hours
firing, during which one private soldier
Of the Montana regiment was wounded,
the insurgents subsided. although they
kept up a scattering fire throughout
the night.
Prisoners who were brought into the
American lines said that General Mas
cardo distributed barrels of wine among
his soldiers, telling them that he eX-
pected to capture the city of San Fer
nando. The trenches undoubtedly
saved the Americans from heavy loss,
the bullets falling thick about them
during the engagement.
General Luna is maSsing his army east
of the railway, bringing up troops by
trainloads in sight of the American
lines The country between San Fer
nando and Calumpit is filling up with
natives, who profess great friendship
towards the Americans but who are
suspected by many of sympathy with
the insurgents.
A Filipino connected with the Amer
ican hospital corps was killed, it is
supposed, by Amigos.

Mountain Home TO get the sheep, he
found they had been shipped TO Swift

disappeared. The governor admits the
loss of the $1,000, but says officers are
in pursuit of Boyd, and if he is cap
tured part of the money may be re-
covered A commission firm of Omaha,
which had loaned SO, on the sheep.

amount, is also in the lurch.

the weight of a personal bereavement
to hundreds of citizens who knew him.
Mr.. Simon died at I o'clock yesterday
morning, at his residence, 4S6 Third
street. He was at his office Tuesday
morning, in his usual good health.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he was
attacked by a very violent headache,
which at last became almost unbear-
able. Mr.. Simon went up to DR.. Union
Worthington's Office, where he was
given a stimulant. He laid down on a.
lounge and rested for half an hour, and
the pain became somewhat less in
tense.
On the suggestion IF Dr. Worthing-
ton, Mr. Simon went home. Almost
from the time he reached the house
his condition grew worse. Through the
weary hours of the night he tossed in
agony. Shortly after daybreak it was
seen that he was beyond earthly aid.
He began to sink rapidly. and at 4
o'clock, without apparent pain or strug-
gle, his life ebbed quietly out. Conges-
tion of the brain wcs given as the dag
nosis of Mr.. Simon's illness.
The news of Mr.. Simon'S demise will
cause profound sorrow among hosts of
Salt Lakers- Those who on Tuesday
saw him in what was apparently the
prime Of vigorous manhod will find it
hard to credit the story of his taking
off.
A Self-made Man.
Fred Simon's life is an object lesson
to young men who start out in life
handicapped by inadequate means and
with no capital save their God-given
endowments. This man had nothing
TO back him other than his own in
domitable energy, his push and his
early-developed business qualifications.
He was born ia the little village of
Thoren, Germany. in 1853. His parents
were in comfortable circumstances. and
hoped to give their boy the best educa-
tion the country afforded.
AT the age of IA, however reverses
came TO the elder Simons. Their capi-
tai was swept away through ill-advised
and unfortunate investments, and the
boy was compelled to leave school.
Seeing no opening in the fatherland
for a lad in his circumstances, young
Simon concluded to be the architect of
his own fortune in a new country.
where wider range of opportunity was
afforded to struggling youth. America
was the field he chose, and in 1867 he
landed in New York, practically penni-
less.
A stranger among strangers, the boy
did not lose heart. For months he
gained precarious existence by odd
jobs at whatever he could find to do.
Finally he secured a position at fairly
remunerative salary on a German
newspaper. Foreseeing that he would
want to strike for the golden west,
young Simon put by portion of his
earnings from time to time, until he
had acquired sufficient money to bring
him to Salt Lake. He arrived here in
