The American mothers with daughters
to educate, and the impoverished MEM
bers of the old French noblesse who throng
these places. are in a state Of great indig-
nation, mixed with alarm. To them the
exposition is frightful bugbear. At the
moment, by reason of the wet plaster re-
posing in hills in the salon, It cOmpels
them to burn fire and candles In their own
room, and there is before them the awful
possibility that the landlord Is intending
raising the price of pension for these old
tenants during the coming months. Hours
are spent discussing this dire possibility,
and the American widows and the an
Client countesses grow quite 'chummy' in
consequence.
Any one looking for board in any Of

STORY OF THE FIRST ATTACK.
How Insurgents Were Routed by
Gen. Hale's Brigade.

Washington, May 2S.-The war depart
ment has made public report from Gen.
Irving Hale who commanded the Second
Brigade, Second Division of the Eighth.
Army Corps at Manila in the stirring
events between the nights of Feb. 4 and
Feb. there.
This division was quartered in the vi
cinity of the water works and a portion
of it, the Nebraska regiment fired the
with the insurgents.
Gen. Hale tells the story of the opera
tons of his command with great precise
ness and military dryness. He says he
received his first information of the out
break along the front of the Nebraska
regiment through the lucky hearing by
one of his operators of a part of a tele-
graphic dispatch that was passing over
the wires from Col. SIotsenburg to divis-
ion headquarters
His account of the beginning of the diff
ficu.ty with the insurgents agrees in every
respect with the stories of Col. Stotsen-
burg and Gen. Macarthur and he adds
that his own troops did not begin firing
until the insurgent firing had been going
on for some time. The first opportunity
that the United States troops had to test
the real quality of the insurgents appears
to have been when the attacks were made
on the blockhouses near Sampaloc ceme-
terry.
Here" says Gen. Hale, "the First Col
orado Regiment made a charge in fine
style, rushing and hating alternately in
case the enemys fire became too strong
When half way to the blockhouse the in
surgents broke from the earthworks
bushes and houses in surprising number;
and ran for the hills, the American pick
ing them off as they ran. Thirty-five were
gathered up in the Immediately vicinity
twenty-four dead and eleven wounded
This movement broke the insurgent cen
ter and showed that they could not stant
| a charge. Therefore the tactics were re
| peated and other charges were made BY
| other regiments of the command with lix'
| ga.lantry and success, the Tennessee ano
| South Dakota troops being engaged among
others"

STEAMER JESSIE WRECK.

Port Townsend, Wash, May 2s-The
government Will, it Is stated. Investigate
the wreck of the steamer Jessie, which
occurred last summer near the mouth of
Kuskogee river, with a loss of sixteen
lives.
one of the cutters forming the Bering
sea patrol which leaves for the North
in a few days, has been ordered to stop
at the mouth OF the Kuskogee and make
inquiries.
News of the wreck OF the Jessie was
first published last August Following
the news of the loss of the vessel, II
was reported that her passengers and
crew had been murdered by Indians after
reaching shore. The Swedish mis-
sion station al the mouth of
the Yokutat bay have investigated the re-
port, and, according to advices just re-
ceived here, there was no foundation for
the report. The Kuskogee Indians have
given a straightforward account of the
wreck Of the Jessie. The high sea pre-
vented them from going I'm their canoes
to the rescue of the passengers. They Sc
cured a large amount OF wreckage from
the barge which the Jessie was towing.
Other Indians who live along the coast
knew of the wreck, but none of them be-
leved that any passengers reached shore,
as the breakers at the mouth of the river
ran very high, and there is a strong under
tow.

DR.. McGilray of the hospital staff, be-

McCluskey of New York for more COM
plete description Of the missing child, and

that any one comparing the Hale child's
face with the face in the photograph would
quickly say that the photograph Is of the

M'KINLEY STRONG IN ONO.

Administration.


Cincinnati, May 2s.-rhe unusual inter-
est in the Republican state convention at
Columbus this week is due TO Its indirect
effect on President Mckinley next year,
as well as to its direct effects on state
factions and contending candidates this
year.
In the earlier slSirmishng there was talk
of the possibility Of a state administra-
ton that would use its influence to secure
an anti-McKiney delegation from Ohio TO
the Republican national convention next
year. Since all but four of the eighty
eight counties have selected delegates, 1t
is found that about the only things the
delegates are unanimous upon is the in
dorsement of the national administration.
All the candidates for other places on
the state ticket, as well as those for Gov
ernor have had strong resolutions adopt
ed in their counties for their delegates to
indorse the national administration. Even

nounce that they are not against McKin-
lev, but that they are against Hanna,

Hardeeville. S. c., May 2S.-About three
miles from this village on the Oestricher
farm. on Tuesday night, May %, occurred
a terrible tragedy.
A two-story frame building on the farm
was occupied by Jacob solomons, his wife
and seven children; the eldest aged 16
years, and the youngest an infant of one
year.
on Wednesday some one passing saw
that the house was gone, and on APP
preaching to investigate found that every
vestige of ii was burned, and the bodies
Of the nine occupants. or rather the char
red trunks of nine human bodies, were ly-
Ing in the ashes.
The coroner's inquest, held on the 25th
inst, disclosed these facts: That the
house was occupied by Solomons and his
family, and was shattered In the lower
story by the last autumnal storms, which
also carried away the chimney, that Sol
onions had resorted to the makeshift OF
building two fires, one to cook on and
the other for warmth, inside the lower
stories OF the house, on two circular mill
saws, raised from the board floor, on small
pieces of iron, the smoke. sparks and
fame escaping from the FIRE as best they

tired upstairs the blow that came up at

which communicated to the partition of
the stairway, and set the house afre.
Agonizug shrieks were heard by
neighbor a mile distant, and must have
come from those unfortunate creatures
when they were precpitated into the holo-
caust that was yawning below them.
Jacob the father, Amy, the wife and
mother. Rollins, Hattie. Charlie, Norma,
Isaac, While and Mamie, were all burn

The verdict OF the coroner's jury was,
IN each case, that they came to their
death through the eulpable negligence o.
Jacob solomons. in neglecting to build a
chimney for his family's use. The scene
at the place of the catastrophe was ghast-
Iy and slckeping in the extreme.

OI the
Coverack, Cornwall, May 2S.-The ninth
attempt to float the American Line
steamer Paris was made this evening,
and proved, an utter failure. Her bow is
absolutely impaled by the rocks.
Five tugs were used in the endeavor
to tow her off, three others standing by
for an emergency. Her boilers, excepting
those used for the pumps were emptied
to tighten the ship. The effect Of the
strain OF last weeks attempts is apparent
in the increase Of water in the engine

Efforts to pull her off will now be dis
continued and it is proposed TO concert

The pertinaclty of the attempts to tow

Thorne of this place has just received
letter from her son, Charles, who is now
with the First South Dakota Volunteers,
10, in which he graphically describes
battle before that city on March 25 He
says that it was estimated that the ma
tives were 1000 strong, and that his regl-
ment, unaided had to face the heavy odds
as the adjutant was killed before he could
get orders to the colonel.
The capture of the station a Mariac
was accomplished with terrible cost. Two
officers were killed. two wounded and
twenty-nine commissioned officers and pri-
Yates killed or wounded. Continuing Mr.
Thorne says:
1T was just as one of the generals said
to his staff as he saw us making that
grand charge: You might as well stop
hell as the American soldier on a
charge"
In conclusion, the writer says: "You
asked me what the soldiers thought of the
United States taking the Philippines.
We'll, we don't think much about IT, We
cannot see where they are going to be
benefited by it. II has cost a great deal
of blood and one American life is worth
10000 natives.
"They sneaked in on our outposts night
before last and killed five of our men,
smashing their heads to a jelly. They get
drunk before they dare TO come up. They
tried it again last night, and by the looks

ception."
