BRUSH WITH REBELS.
Fighting Renewed to the North and
Southwest of Mania.

Southwest of Mania.
MANILA, April pa force of about
200 rebels yesterday afternoon attacked
the outposts of the Washington regi-
ment near Taguig, south of Pasig and
Pateros
Two companies Immediately engaged
the enemy and advanced into the open
in skirmish order The rebels were
checked and routed after two hours
fighting. leaving twelve men killed on
the field and several wounded.
The heat is intense. At noon the
thermometer registered 95 degrees and
the mercury was still rising. There
were several prostrations from the
heat among the troops, but only one
man was founded.
Later the army tugs opened fire on
the enemy along the river banks. The
rebels are unusually active west of
Malolos as far as Calumpit. They have
have been busily at work on their
trenches and several new trenches
have been discovered within two miles
of the railroad Fires are burning east
of the railroad and it would appear
that the rebels are evacuating the foot
hill towns in anticipation of an attack
upon the part of the American troops.
At o'clock this morning three COM
panies of the South Dakota regiment
marched from Bocave and in conjunc-
ton with three companies of the Min
nesota regiment from Guiguinto, north
OF Bocave, encountered a rebel force
numbering fully 500 men, when two
miles out. The enemy retired three
miles in fairly good order, in spite of
the fact that the rebels suffered heavy
losses. The Americans, having ex-
hausted their ammunition, were COM
PEELED to return to their camps.
NEW YORK, April ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Nearly 5000 regulars of the 1900 that
the president has determined to order
to General Otis during the coming
summer have been practically selected
and no difficulty is apprehended by the
war department authorities in securing
the remaining 5000 by the time they
are needed. The excellent outlook in
Porto Rico and Cuba will, in all likeli-
hood, permit the withdrawal of four
more regiments from those islands be-
fore the summer Is over and the 5000
thus obtained will fill the requirements,
either by being sent forward directly
to Manila or by relieving domestic
garrisons for service across the Pa
cific.
The lack Of transportation facilities
constitutes the greatest problem, but
General Otis fortunately does not re-
quire more than 10000 troops during
the summer and by the time he does
need the remaining 5000 they will be
ready for him and the ships will be
available to transport them.

you can follow any winding trail and
be ready for all the little surprises that
come In your way. The gladdening in
huence OF natures music will soon en-
thuse, inspire, and you will find your
self admiring all the artistic touches on
lichen-covered rocks, the masonry OF
great walls OF boulders, here and there
dotted with dark fuZZes OF Stunted
pine, or overgrOwn with blooming ten
drills. Brave little flowers will bid you
welcome from some rude cradle high up
on the mountain sides and you will
wonder where they derive their life
and sustenance. Then again they will
cast themselves all around your feet,
clamoring for recognition, and you
bend to lavish caresses and assert
ownership of these gorgeous and at
tractvely fragile beauties. The birds
fit around you and carelessly plunge
into spray-crowned brook, which goes
leaping and fiouncing along, with
mirthful abandon, kissing and cooling
the gray granite walls Of its canon
lover as 1t scurries along to the mys-
teal sea. The soft frOwning Of these
mountain streams mingled with the
soughing Of the winds In the pines
complete natures harmonious greeting
and 1t has n most beneficent effect on
mind and spirit, when weary anu need

Sixty or seventy-five three and four
room cottages are being erected and

try. Board will be reasonable.
The best lecture talent In the coun-
try is being secured and the large aud
itorium, with seating capacity OF 5000,
is likely to be overtaxed. On this ac-
count, and to provide for emergencies
when the auditorium Is occupied, 1t Is
deemed advisable to erect large cen
trail cottage with number Of rooms,
near the auditorium. Here all the
meetings Of the Woman's Council can
be held. or an extra session Of conven-
tions. No charge will be made for the
use of this building, n course more lib
eral than Is in practice in any Of the
old established Chautauquas. Boulder
is determined to lead in everything,
and IL will be safe to assume that in
point Of equipment, talent and loca-
ton, there Is not better place In the
United States to spend ones summer

A Fire at Pawnee Rock.

From the Chieftain we take the fol-
lowing report of the fire at Pawnee
Rock last Saturday, which fire for
time threatened disaster to the town:
"Small beginnings often bring large
results. Such was the case today (Sat-
urday) at one O'Clock, when a little
boy and a match began operations in
Will Evans barn, and it set FIRE to Judge
Brewers barn. The barns burned to
the ground, and it was a miracle that
Judge Brewers fine residence was not
burned also; but by close watching and
constant application of water it was
saved. But the Christian church caught
FIRE, and IN a few minutes was reduced
to ashes. Several other buildings were
endangered, but escaped. Judge Brew
er's loss is about 5000, and if his resi-
dence had burned. in all probability
Pawnee Rock would now be in ashes.
and the Chieftain with it."
