pies those towns with sufficient force
to hold them. OTIS"
The news OF the battle by which the
towns Of Pasig and Pateros were cap
tured Is regarded with great satisfac-
ton by the officers OF the war depart
ment. and It is freely commented on as
another result of the new and more ag-
sressive campaign begun under the di-
rection of General Otis and carried into
effect by General Wheaton's brigade.
The satisfaction is greater because of
the fact that the losses in the engage
ment. as in all those that have taken
place heretofore, We're very unequal.
The opinion prevails that If such |
heavy damage can be repeatedly intiict- |
co on the insurgents 1T will not be long
Defofe the rebel leaders will be willing
TO make unconditional terms of sur
render. 1t is said at the war denart-
ment that the aggressive character of
the campaign will be continued with.
out cessation.
The persistence Of the insurgent cam
paign. 1t Is admitted, is a matter of
some little surprise to the army adj
ministration. IT would not have heen
oeheved that the native army, inferior
as 1t 49, according to the standards OF
the armies OF civilized nations could
persist SO long against superior fighting
skin. The military authorities cannot
oeheve, however. that the repeated
overwhelming defeats of the enemy win
iaii before long to have the desired ef-
feet. ei'

THEY HAD HOT FIGHTING
James T. Cannon Relates Some
Incidents of the War.
THE INSURGENTS ARE EASY
They Are Very Fast Runners, but They
< Cannot Escape the American Bull
lets-Natives Are q ,Treach-
erous Lot of People.

Harry Cannon of this city has just
received an interesting letter from his
brother, James T. Cannon of Company
K. The letter reads in part as follows:
"Malolos, P. l., April Is.
Please do not complain about my
delay in writing, as it very hard for us
to write away out here among these
savages. We don't carry anything but
our blankets, ana it is nearly impos-
sible to get hold of any writing paper.
Now we are apt to camp here at Malo-
los for some time and we expect that
it will be more pleasant for us.
we have not done much fighting
now for some time, but about two
hottest place we have been in since we
were landed. We came out of it very
luckily, but it will always remain a
mystery to US that we were not all
killed. The insurgents were in ambush
and they waited till we got just across
the river from them when they opened
terrible fire on us. We could do
nothing but lie down and let them
shoot until they got tired We were
sent out to find the insurgents, and we
found more of them than we were look
ing for, and they did not get off as cas-
lily as we did from them, for we put
about 100 of them over the great d.
vide and made good niggers of them.
BY the way, we have made great many
good niggers since this trouble began.
You could not realize the number Of
them that have been killed unless you
had seen one of their trenches just af-
ter we had charged on them. The scene
was horrible, especially where they had
MADE much or a stand. l remember
one trench in particular. After firing
few vollies at them our company and
two of the Kansas companies charged
on them, and when we reached the
trench we found 30 of them shot
through the head and about SO wound
ed. We could not tell how many got
away, as they ran into the brush while
we were crossing the river But that
trench was a sight I will never forget.
While on the march we often met
them IN small troops and then they
would jump out of a little thicket and
run for their lives, but I assure you
they seldom ran far after we saw them.
Sometimes one would fire at us from
behind tree and then run, but before
he went many steps we would have
him shot full of holes. This sort of
shooting reminds one of rabbit drive
in Idaho

treat and we are surrounded by smok-

played ball and understand all the
points of the game. They can throw to
bases accurately and they are terrors
at the bat.
The lineup of the Deer Lodge county
team has not vet been definitely de-
cided upon. Dave Morgan, the under
sheriff, will be in the box, and he has
speed to burn; Percy Ingalls, will be at
the receiving end, and he could catch
anything up to cannon bali: Doc
Emerson will play first base and his
work for the regular team is too well
known to need any mention here. The
other players will be Ed Nadeau, who
played on the University of Michigan
team; Martin Martin, the county clerk,
Charles F. Roe, the official stenogra
pher; Frank Fitzgerald, Peter Smith,
Tom Doherty and George Burnham.
The substitutes will be Jack Conley, DR..
Stephens. George Miller, Chief Jack
White, etc. There are enough substi-
tutes to make up another nine,
and in the event of all of the
regular team being ruled. off for object
ing to the umpire's decisions, the SER
vices of the substitutes would be re-
quired. The board of county commits
sioners, composed of A. M. Walker,
T. c. Davidson and James Geary, would
then be called into play, and although
they are not young, they would make
the Silver Bow club rustic.
The local club held practice last
evening. No accidents reported.

Missoula, May 24--Mrs ]. J. McAllis-
ter, beloved wife of the pastor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, died at
1890 o'clock to-day at the Methodist
parsonage, after an illness of three

riage went with him to Iona, Mich,

born to Mrs. McAllister, one of whom
died in infancy. Of the Others Claude,

university, and the other, Ray 16 years
old, is a student in the preparatory

loch, is here, having come from Fargo

Western Montana, having many friends
in Butte and the Bitter Root valley, as
well as in Missoula, where she was
much beloved. She has always been in
timately associated with her husband in
his church work, having had charge of
the. primary work in the Sunday

munity, in which the Standard most

A SURE GO.
Deer Lodge and Silver Bow County ON
GERS to Meet

Deer Lodge and Silver Bow County ON
GERS to Meet
Baseball has been the topic of con-
versation around the county offices for
the past few days. The cause of this
is the ball game which will be PLAYED
in Anaconda on July between the
employees of the county offices for Sill
yer Bow county and those of Deer
Lodge county. All the arrangements
have been made and the game will be
a sure go. Challenges have been ex-
changed and accepted and the prepara-
tons are already under way. Practice
work is done every day, and if the
players keep cool, the game will be a
great one, for the practice work is very
good.
1t is not yet known who the Silver
Bow players will be, but it is expected
that several professionals will figure
on the team. This fact does not make
any of the local players worry, as there
are "a few in Anaconda who have
