FILIPINO THCTIcS.
Much Moro Dangerous TO Themselves Than
to Their Enemies.

Mrs. j. T. Lucy, wife of Lieutenant in
the lSt Cal. III. A, says:
"a most distressing accident befell a
boatload of Igorrotes. The monitor Mo
nadnock lies just off Malabon, and at
night lights UP the whole country with its
searchlight. The wild men did not like it.,
and SO set out to capture the floating fort.
A large rowboat was procured and speedi-
ly filled with an aggregation of these
patriots. Having approached within hun
dred yards the barbarians discharged a
volley of steel-tipped arrows, and waited
patiently In the hope OF seeing the ship
sunk. The Monadnock discharged q
three-inch gun in return. So far, three
arms. two wisdom teeth, parts OF four
legs, and q piece OF wood have been re-
covered.
"At Caloocan the rebels had mounted
two monstrous muZZle-loading guns capt
ured in former time from the Spanish.
They attempted to fire one of these, with
direful results. The Americans collected
the remains Of 20 rebels killed by the ex-
plosion of the gun. The insurgents had
not the courage to fire the remaining can
non, which was loaded and primcd when
Caloocan was captured. The natives had
loaded it with a complete curiosity-shop-
scissors, knives, coal. pieces of brick.
nails, bolts, thermometer. a horseshoe,
a car-link, a large quantity Of hoop-iron.
"A double dose of powder was found,
and also g quantity OF dynamite. No
wonder tho other cannon exploded"

Marriage la Porto Rico.

Marriage is almost unknown among the
very poor classes, and the distinction OF
having the written word and the blessing
OF the priest carries with it no special
badge OF honor; it is suggestive only OF
another poor man gone wrong and a
grasping padre few pesos richer. 1t is
much easier for a man to select his
companionable partner and set up house
keeping in new wickiup under the ba-
mana trees without more ado.
a legal marriage by license has less in
it which meets approval in the native
mind than that performed by a church
functionary, for the padre might always
save them from hell, while the nation 8
sanction is absolutely a barefaced rob-
berry. Gen. Grant one day gave hearing
to Il much agitated man who stated that
the priest would not marry him to the
woman he loved without excessive fees,
and he prayed that his excellency would
order the erring father to marry him at a
rate commensurate with the size of his
pocIxetbook. The General sorrowfully told
him that he could not pretend to interfere
with the church rulings, even though his
sympathies were aroused, and suggested
he be content with the legal form which
met all the lawful needs OF our own coun-
try, and pay the small fee to the civil
authorities. The man glared at him, and
the manifest cupidity OF
American officials was beyond his power
to express in words.

"The front gate to our quarters presents
a curious sight. Every paling is riddled
with bullets, and our quarters also
suffered from the fire of the insurgents.
Our party in the house had to fight fire
during the attack by tho insurgents.
Several times the structure caught fire
from falling sparks, and our men were in
danger of being driven from their quarters
by the flames. A little Filipino boy who

No Music in /" "rixie."

At Atlanta Conductor Theodore Thomas
refused to play Dixie" because his men
had only been trained to play classical
music, and did not pander to the street va
riety. The musicians of Atlanta, headed by
Capt. Burke. an ex-Confederate, have pre-
that they had always contended that
there was no music In Dixie" and that
they were glad he had confirmed their
judgment.

that ut the Second Bull Run old Tartar
was struck with a piece OF shell that cut
away his tail and wounded both hips or

fence and followed the battery. He was
again wounded at Fredericksburg, and
the day Gettysburg was reached he was

He did not go into the battle, and in pur-

TIME is RIPE.
Agitation for Council of Knights of &C.
Iumbus for North srookfIeld.

North Brookfeld, May 15.-There is
very little doubt that in the near flu
ture council of the Knights of Co
lumbus will be instituted in North
Brookfield. The project is now being
worked on and if a sufficient number of
men can be obtained a council will be
started. The matter is in the hands of
James Downey, the Main street grocer,
who has for several years been affili-
ated with the Knights of Columbus as
a member of the Spencer council.
A few nights ago Mr.. Downey talked
with James g. MeGovern of Worces-
ter, a prominent man in the Columbus
ranks, and the Worcester gentleman
offered to come to North Brookfield at
any time if there is prospect of or
ganizing a council, and to explain the
terms and conditions of initiation. Mr..
Downey, in conversation with The Spy
reporter, this afternoon, talked the
matter over freely, and manifested the
belief that the time is ripe when this
already powerful organization would
be taken kindly to here.
The Spy reporter ascertained later in
the day that many of the prominent
young men of the town would gladly
be enrolled as members, and that suf-
flcient number of names can be OBJ
tanned without much difficulty to war
rant Mr.. McGovern's coming here.
FraternaI organizations of every kind
have always had an existence here. and
the members of the Ware and Spencer
councils have impaired some of their
enthusiasm to the young men here.
Mr.. Downey, who is known as a
conservative business man, has moth
ing but praise for. the order, and the
good work it is doing. Several years
ago some North BrOokfield men be-
came members of the Spencer council,
and were for the most part well
pleased with the workings of the or
der Mr. .Downey intends to secure a
hall and have Mr.. McGovern here
within a few days to endeayor to in
sritute a council.
Before Trial Justice Sylvander Both
well this morning, hearing was given
in the action of tort for $40, in which

Of Hollston for the plaintiff and L.

STATION REPAIRS.
Clinton Will Hold a
Special Town
Meeting.
SELECTMEN ACT.
They Issue Warrant in Re-
Spouse to a Commune
cation Received.

Clinton, May 15.-The selectmen met
tonight. They considered a communi-
cation from the special committee on
police station repairs. The communi-
cation asked the board to call a special
town meeting, which the board did.
The meeting is called for Saturday,
May q. The committee want $1,000 more
before they proceed with the work. Cne
member Of the committee is not in ia
vor of proceeding with the work at all.
The special town meeting will give the
citizens an opportunity to express their
views. If they want the rickety old po-
lice station repaired they will vote the
extra appropriation.
Another article is to see if the town
will make an appropriation for the sup
port of the Clinton hospital, or take
any other action relating thereto.
In it's last annual report the trustees
complain of lack of money with which
to conduct the work as it should be
conducted. Many people in Clinton feel
that the town should take more inter-
est in this excellent institution than it
has in the past.
There is a very strong 1eellnS tnat
the town ought to appropriate so much
annually to the benevolence, as is the
custom with other communities that
benefit by the presence of such an insti-
tuition as the hospital
The hospital is non-sectarian. 1t ben
efits all classes Of the people alike.
There has been a feeling here for some
time that the town was not doing its
duty by the hospital If after an exam
nation it is discovered that the benev-
olence is being conducted purely as a
philanthropy, without relation to pri-
vate clique or interest, an appropriation
will be made.
The police station matter will give
abundant food for argument The
chances seem to be that the town will
not vote to make repairs without more
investigation. Chief Oren B. Bates is
very certain that it is a partial waste
of money to spend as large sum Of
money as is proposed on an old builc-
ing.
