them had joined the main body of the
Indians. Evidently fearing that the
Mexican troops were preparing to in
wade their camp, the Indians pushed
the fighting themselves by attacking
the Mexican forces in their camp.
Fought Behind Trees.
The onslaught was vigorous, but not
very effective. as the Indians did not
advance in a solid body, preferring
their old warfare of man for man be-
hind boulders and trees. In this man
ner they began their attack On the
soldiers camp. and, according to re-
port, the fighting was most severe and
lasted for day and night, when the
Indians withdrew, having sustained
considerable loss. -.
The militia made several attempts to
dislodge the Indians from the woody
country without success, and upon each
deploy the soldiers lost quite a num-
Der of men killed and wounded. While
the military troops were engaging this
main body of Indians there were a
number of small bands roaming around
the mountains laying ranches in waste
and otherwise playing havoc.
1t is learned that the Mexican forces
have the Twentieth infantry marching
to their assistance, when they hope to
follow the main body of the Indians
and either capture or annihilate them

REPUBLICANS WIN IN BOSTON

Democrats, However, Control Both
Branches OF the City Government

licans We're generally successful in the
city elections today. Only in New
buryport did the Socialists make a
strong showing. In Boston. Lynn and
Woburn. ordinarily strong Democratic
strongholds. the Republicans scored
signal victories.
In this city after a spirited cam
paign, Thomas n. Hart defeated ex-
Congressman Patrick A. Collins. the
Democratic nominee for mayor. by
1904 votes. The tota. vote was: Hart,
(Rep.), 40. Cos; Collins (Dem.), 49, 61.
The Democrats, however. still control
both branches of the city government,
the board of aldermen by a small in
creased majority. The board stands
eight Democrats, five Republicans. The
city, as usual, voted for license.
The Republican victory was in a
great measure due to the knitting of
Mr. Collins by the supporters of John
r. Murphy. who was severely disap-
pointed at their favorite's defeat in the
caucuses. \ remarkable heavy Re-
publican vote also materially assisted
in overcoming the Democratic plurality
of 1000 in the last city election for
mayor in 1897, and of 5000 at the state
election in November.

TO IMPALE THE UNWARY.
Pitfalls Dug By Tagals and Sharp
ened Bamboo Posts Set Up.

New York, Dec PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: In
hospital reports which reached the war
department from Manila is chronicled
the first casualty due TO falling into
Tagal pitfall, which contained the hor-
rible device of bamboo posts set firm
ly in the hole and sharpened at the top
for the purpose of impaling the I'M
wary.
The American troops have frequent
ly found such traps on the line of
march and especially in front of in
surgent trenches. but instances have
been extremely rare in which the bam-
boo stakes were discovered. Ordinar-
lily, the traps have been simply deep
holes in the jungle covered with long
grass and although soldiers have fire.
quently fallen into them no serious
injury has resulted.
On Oct. %. when forty-five men of
company I, Nineteenth infantry, were
engaged in a reconnaissance in chas-
ing small band of Tagals from some
trenches, Private Peters Karl plunged
into such a pit with its sharpened
bamboos and had his leg and foot Sc
verely lacerated. which put him out of
service Fortunately. he did not tum-
BILE headlong into the trap for if he
had, in the opinion of the surgical Off
GERS. his wounds must certainly have
been fatal.
