A Denver dispatch declares that the
army worm is creating havoc with the
crops about Burlington in Kit Carson
county, Colorado. The worms have
evinced a propensity never before
charged to them. They have invaded
the residences of some OF the farmers,
and in some cases the houses have
been given up to the invaders. MFR.
Chapman. living near Burlington,
made fight as long as he could and
then vacated. The worms swarmed in
through the doors and the assault was
repelled for a time with brooms. In
stead of allowing themselves to be
swept out of doors the worms crawled
up the walls. After several DAYS
ceaseless fight. the Crawfords also
gave up and moved to neighbor's
until the visitors could be driven out
by smoke and birthstone. William
Clough, living north OF Burlin gton, has
also given up his houfe to the worms.

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany employs many girls. Their du-
ties are chiefly to file dispatches and
perform such routine office work as
requires little skill. In spite OF the
fact that the wages paid are very
small there are always many more
applicants than the company can en-
pioy. This is the way they are met:
Every girl who applies is questioned
as to her age. education. residence.
These facts are filed for future refer
ence, and she is advised to call again
at the end of four months should she
not before that time hear from the
company. The majority of the appli-
cants never call second time The
applicant must appear in person. and
this is test of perseverance. which
is a quality held in esteem by the
company, and other things being equal,
is likely to lead to an engagement.

Filipino Junta Criticises wildman
and Dewey.
Hongkong, Feb. %. - The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
Pine junta here:
Information, which has leaked
through the Pinkertons sent by Presi-
dent Mckinley to investigate the ship
ment Of arms to the Filipinos, that the
first shipment to Aguinaldo were made
by order of the American government
through Consul Wildman, hence the
shipment per the Wing Fo. The Amer
lean government subsequently tele-
graphed to cease this, coincident with
the change Of policy to annexation.
Mr.. Wildman and Admiral Dewey
promised to pay, but have not yet paid,
for subsequent expedition by the
Abbey. authorized by Admiral Dewey,
who afterward seized the steamer, and
she is still held. Papers respecting this
are now in the hands of the secretary
Of the navy. The protestations of Ad-
miral Dewey and other Americans that
they made no promises are ridiculous.
In view Of these facts, let the Ameri-
can people judge how the nations
word Of honor was pledged to the Fill
pinos and confided in by them and vio-
lated by the recent treachery of Gen.
Otis"

The cabinet gave some attention to
Dewey'S cable message relative to the
political Importance OF sending the
Oregon at once to Manila. The con-
cluSion reached was that too much i'm.
portance should not be attached to it;
that Dewey wants the hig ship to in

an explanation of the reference to po-
ltical reasons in the dispatch: II

rived last night. On nights 21st and
22d and yesterday morning insurgent
troops gained access to the outskirts
of city behind our lines. Many in
hiding and about 1000 intrenched

loss very slight. City quiet: confidence
restored. Business progressing.
Manila. Feb. 25. - Owing to the
wholesale arrests Of all suspected Fill
ipinos yesterday and the clearances Of
the streets at Z o'clock last night the
threatened renewal of the scenes of
the previous night did not occur. With
the exception of few shots fired in
the neighbOrhood of the penitentiary
the city was as quiet as possible.
Outside Manila the natives were very
active. Near Caloocan the brigade
commanded by Gen. Harrison Grey
Otis had several lively s1irmishes
with them. but at daylight the enemy
was driven back with severe loss.
The feeling in the city is much i'm
proved and business has generally
been resumed. Excellent order is
maintained by Gen. Hughes police
force. which is universally commend
ed. The Scandal has arrived with the
Twelfth infantry on board. The enc
my's sharpshooters have been particu-
larly active about Caloocan all day.
Special attention was paid to the
three-gun battery near the railroad
and the improvement of the rebel
craftsmanship was very noticeable.
