General Wheaton's brigade, in &C.
cordance with instructions, remained
in the trenches. Before joining in the
movement, at noon, General Wheatons
troops developed a strong opposition be-
tween Malabon and the river Tuliahan.
The brigades commanded by General
Harrison Gray Otis and General Hale

in a northwesterly direction towards
Polo, and General Macarthur, with the
remainder of General Otis and General
Hale's brigades, was moving along south
of the river, in a position to attack
either Novaliches or Polo, being within
two miles of Novaiches and five miles
from Polo.
General Halls brigade moved to
Banlac, protecting General Hale's right,
meeting with strong opposition.
The Oregon regiment and part of the
Utah battery under Lieutenant Gibbs,

Rear Admiral Kautz Has Author
ity to Act Without Full
Unanimity
Only in Case of Emergency---Also
Instructed to Be Most
Friendly.

BERLIN, March 29.-The oorrespon-
dent here Of the Associated Press has
learned on the highest authority at this
capital the following explanation Of a
feature of the Samoan question which
has lately arisen. On the report that
the American government had cabled
to its admiral at Samoa, to act in &C.
cordance with the decision of two out
of three representatives of the powers,
the German government made earnest
representation to the American ambas-
sador here, Andrew White, that the
Berlin treaty requires the concur
renee of the three powers, and
called attention to the dan
gers which were sure to arise
if there was anything like violation of
the treaty. The American government
made frank and conciliatory answer,
which has caused much satisfaction
here. 1t recognized the necessity for
unanmity upon the part Of all three
powers under the treaty, as a condition
of any settled policy or permanent &C.
ton and declared the admiral was only
authorized to act in agreement with a
majority of the representatives. OF the
powers in case of emergency which
absolutely does not admit of delay.
But, in such. case, the ratification or
adjustment by the unanimous vote of
the three powers must be sought at the
first possible moment, and no perman-
ent arrangement can be made without
such unanmity.
The American government, it is
added, cabled to its representatives in
Samoa to pursue the most friendly and
oonciliatory policy towards the German
representatives and German interests,
carefully avoiding everything likely to
be misconstrued, or to create i'll will.
In consequence Of the stories regarding
Mataafa having sanctioned sectarian
tyranny, the German government as
sured Mr.. White that all its influence
would be exerted against interference
with the religion of any sect.

RAILROAD INNOVATION.
Engineers and Engines on Two Big Roads
Will Be Divorced.

Will Be Divorced.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-The Chronicle
says: Engineers and their engines are
to be divorced on two of the big rail
road systems diverging from Chicago.
Hereafter on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul, and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe roads, all engines will be
pooled and run continuously, regardless
of the engineer in charge, instead of be-
ing run by one driver and laying up in
the roundhouse while his master sleeps.
Under the new rule the engines will
be worked continuously for allotted
periods, when they will be sent to the
shops for whatever repairs are neces-
sary. They will be operated entirely
independent of the engineers, and the
latter will be required to climb upon
any locomotive that is run out for him
to serve on. Each engine will be thor
oughly inspected before it is started on
trip.

FILIPINO PROCLAMATION.
Spies, Looters and Ravishers to Be Shot

Spies, Looters and Ravishers to Be Shot
without Trial.
MANILA, March 1885 p. m.-Gen-
eral MacArthur's divisian spent the
night and morning at Maycauyan, the
next station beyond Palo. After recon-
noitering his front, he pushed along the
river toward Malolos. If the statement
of the 80 prisoners captured is true the
main body of the enemy has retreated
to Malolos.
There are no more trenches to en-.
counter en- route, although over 30 vii
lagos, including the larger settlements
of Bulucan and Gudguinto intervene.
At every railroad station circulars
have been posted, signed by the Fill
Pine commander-in-chief, Antonio Luna,
ordering all spies and bearers of news
to the enemy to be shot without trial
and instructing that all looters and ray
ishers be treated in the same manner.
Further, all towns abandoned by the
Filipino troops are first to be burned.
While deploring the existence of war
the circular maintains the undeniable
right of the Fillipinos to defend thei,
homes, lives and lands against 'would,
be dominators, who would kill them,
their wives and children" Adding that
this motive ought to impel all Fill
pinos to sacrifice everything.
The Smelling of Paranqua was not
premeditated. The turreted ships lay
off the town, and the insurgents, en-
boldened by the long silence by the war
ship on guard duty, opened fire on her
with nuskets with the result that one
man was killed and three wounded.
The Monadnock then destroyed half the
town, including the church.

the rose is one of the oldest flowers in the
world and, perhaps, grown from the
wind blown seeds in Paradise
In Egypt it is depicted on numbers Of
early bas-reliefs, dating from 5000 to

NEW AMIN AL.
Its Hide Turns Rifle Falls. and 1t Lives

Its Hide Turns Rifle Falls, and 1t Lives
in South America.
Natives Of the interior of Brazil have
been exciting naturalists for years
with accounts of a certain wonderful
animal, which, from their description,
had never yet been seen by civilized
man. DR.. Florentino Ameghino, an
Italian naturalist, who has been on
the continent pursuing researches for
a length of time, at last determined
to penetrate to the regions in which
the beast was said to have been found
and see if there was anything in 1t.
Ramon Lista, a Chilean, since deceas-
ed, had told the scientist of an en-
counter with an animal something of
the order described. He had come
across it in the dark, and, although he
fired point-blank at it from a point
less than five yards. his bullet made
no apparent impression. Armed with
these particulars DR.. Ameghino set out
some time last winter, and. after trav-
cling hundreds of miles into the heart
of Brazil, at last came upon the OBJ
ject of his search. He saw the animal
three different nights before bringing
1T down. The repeated manner in
which his shots did not tell convinced
him that the reports of the natives
as to the impenetrability of the ami
mails skin must have been correct, a
belief in which, after securing the
beast by a shot in the eye, and then
finding that the hide could not be pene-
trated by Ratchet, he was more than
confirmed. The Naomylodon Listal,
named by the doctor, partly in honor
of the Ramon Listal who first saw 1t,
and partly from its characteristics, re-
sembles more nearly than any other
animal the short-tailed pangolin or
scaly ant eater. 1t is larger than the
pangolin, being some six feet in
length. The skin is more than an inch
thick, and so tough that no weapon
at the disposal of the scientist sufficed
to cut it. Its surface shows an epider-
mis-, not scaly, but covered with
coarse, reddish-gray hair an inch and
a half long, the ossicles being buried
in the skin like paving stones in the
street. The ossicles resemble those OF
the fossil Mylodon, though smaller.
The pangolin, if its traits may be as
signed to this new beast. is more a
lizard than a mammal. They have no
weapon of defense against man or the
larger animals. and are so far as Is
known perfectly harmless. The skin OF
the pangolin has often been known to
turn a musket ball It's habits are noe
turnal and it shows great timidity in
the presence of man. DR.. Ameghino
states his intention of securing speci-
mems alive for the old world zoologi-
cal gardens.

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
How ThuDderstorms, Rain, Hail and
Snow Are Initiated.


A curious part of stage illusion is
that which may be comprehended I'M
der the term theatrical meteorology.
Whatever may be the state of the
weather outside, the stage manager
within can bring about rain and hail,
wind, or a thunderstorm at will, and
the illusion is so complete as to some
times make nervous members of the
audience insensibly shudder. Hail and
rain are represented by closed wood
en- cylinder about six feet long, which
is INSTRUCTED inside by various cross
pieces, a quart of peas completing the
arrangement. By turning this cylin-
der first one way up and then the
other the peas rattle through it with
close imitation to the sound of heavy
rain on a roof The wind arrangement
consists of a wheel about two feet in
diameter, set in a frame like that Of
a grindStone This wheel is furnished
with ribs on its periphery somewhat
like the floats of waterwheel, and
drawn tightly over the ribs is piece
of thick silk. When the wheel is
turned the ribs rub against the silk,
and by turning the handle first quickly
and then slowly, very good imita-
tio2 of the soughing of the wind is
produced. Lightning may easily be
initiated by using chemical or electri-
cal means, and the usual mode of pro-
ducing thunder is by shaking a large
sheet of flexible iron plate. Some
theaters have, however, a far more
elaborate and effective thunder ar
rangement, which is used as an aux
Hilary to the sheet of iron when a
storm is supposed to reach its height.
This consists Of a number of cannon
balls held in trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
over floor above the ceiling of the
theater. A snow storm is brought
about by perforated revolving cylin-
der above the stage, charged with pa
per cuttings. Unfortunately, these
messengers OF frost have habit of
resting on all kinds of projections and
dislodging themselves in subsequent
scenes when their presence is not de-
sirable. Chambers Journal.

Susan Is. anthony's Arrest.

Susan B. Anthony announces that
she will attend the international coun-
Gil Of women in London next June,
says the Philadelphia Post. Miss An
thony is nearly so years old, and this
will be her second visit abroad. Her
first was in 1888, and it was attended
by an incident which she is very fond
of relating. At that time, as now, the
motto of the woman suffragists was,
mo taxation without representation"
Miss Anthony had this printed on her
envelopes and while in Berlin she
mailed a letter in one of these in
scribed covers to a friend at home.
The declaration was regarded by the
Berlin police as being contrary to law,
and she was promptly arrested. 1t re-
uuired the entire power of the Amer
lean minister and the consul general
to secure her release. There is no
danger Of such an event marring her
forthcoming visit, however, as Eng
land looks upon all kinds of fads with
generous eyes. Miss Anthony lives
with her two maiden sisters, Mary
and Lucy, in the old Anthony home
stead in Rochester, N. Y.

AN OLD FRAUD.
How His Pretty stenographer Went Out
to Lunch.


The framing of half the criticism in
the world is dependant upon the way
one looks at things, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. There" ex-
claimed the cynic, in triumph, pointing
across the restaurant with a lean fin
ger, II told you the old mans piety was
fraudulent. Just look at him-bring-
ing his stenographer here to lunch."
The stenographer part of the charge
was true and, to make it more dreadful,
she was provokingly pretty. The old
mana merchant of years and repute
looked (oh, sorrow, to tell IT'D quite
unashamed. He threw aside the bill Of
fare, gave a hurried order to the wait
er and a nod to the fair stenographer.
The latter promptly produced a book
and began taking notes al his dictation.
The cynic fairly Rugged himself.
"Oh," he whispered, what bluff!
Pretending he's bringing her here to
work Boys, isn't it side-splitting?"
The boys" agreed that it was. The
elderly merchant dictated swiftly and
the pretty stenographer's pencil flew
over the paper. In twelve minutes the
waiter appeared bearing dainty dishes
and-the elderly merchant dismissed
the pretty stenographer and proceeded
to enjoy his luncheon, leisurely and
alone The beast!" sighed the cynic
softly, ito send as sweet maid as that
away hungry" And the boys agreed
to that too.
