Manila, April %, 1890 p. m.-Gen-
eral MacArthur's division fought its
way to the Filipino trenches before
Calumpit to- day, advancing four miles,
mostly through woods and jungle, and
crossing the Bag-Bag river.
This was accomplished at n cost to
the Americans of six killed and twen-
ty-eight wounded, the First South Da-
kOta regiment being the heaviest loser.
After fording the river the South
Dakotans pursued the insurgents to
the outskirts of Calumpit, but the
town was found to be so strongly
protected that General Macarthur
deemed 1t best to withdraw the tired
fighters and go into camp rOr IL nights
rest before making the final assault.
The largest buildings in Calumpit
were being fired by the Filipinos while
the Americans We're crossing the river
fully one mile away. indicating the
enemy's intention to abandon the
place.
Colonel Frederick Funston called for
volunteers to cross the river and the
colonel himself, Lieutenant Ball, a pri-
vate of Company X, private of Com
pany e, Trumpeter Barsfield and Cor
poral Ferguson of Company crawled
along the iron girders.
While this was going on. the men of
Company X, from the ditch were fu-
sillading the trenches in the endeavor
to divert attention. but the Filipinos
got the range from trench down the
river, and their bullets soon spattered
the water under the structure.
Having reached the broken span, the
small, but valorous party of Amer-
cans slid down the caisson. swan n
few yards to the shore and crawled
up the bank. the little colonel leading
the way to the trenches. revolver in
hand, while the few remaining Fill
pinos bolted.
Colonel Funston said afterward: ut

could not shoot straight and that our

the north bank of the river nearest

CHANCE FOR MINERS.
The smelter Combine Is Kidding High for

The Rocky Mountain News says:
The expected movement on the part
of the recently organized $0J, J,OOO.0 900
smelling combine against the inde-
pendent companies is under way. Bet
ter contract terms than offered here
tofOre to miners are now put forth In
hopes that the miners will turn their
ore over to the combine in preference
to those firms on the outside. BY this
means it is hoped 10 leave the inde-
pendents without material to work
upon. Another part of the scheme is
to put up the price of silver. though
this feat Is hardly regarded as possi-
bic by experienced mining men, as the
combine can hardly control more than
two-thirds of the output In the United
States. 1t exercises no influence what
sOever on the product of t1e other
countries Of the world.
The fact that some such an action
would be taken by the trust immedi-
ately after the details of the organ
ization had been arranged has already
been pointed out. and when the facts
became known yesterday they caused
not so much surprise as might have
been expected. A prominent official of
the Independent companies said:
1T is very natural to expect some
such move. In fact. we have been
looking for it. Just what we will do
in the matter am as yet not prepared
to say
One of the first contracts under the
new order of things was signed with
Leadville Leasing company by pur-
chasing agent, former Governor J0,nes
Il. Grant, three days ago. The Lead
vile company has an output of be-
tween 200 and $50 tons daily. This
contract. which discloses the first blow
at the independent companies. allows
full value for all gold In the ore, and
makes the treatment charges 80 cents
lower than they were In n former con-
tract. Just what these concessions
amount to will be recognized when It
Is recalled that heretofore the practice
of smelters in this state has been to
ignore all gold in ore when 1t assayed
less than 81 II ton. In the new Lend
vile contract the miners will reap IL
substantial benefit so long ns the con-
tract and the fight with the independ-
ents lasts.

from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years

pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts

Rndyard Kipling BY his wonderful
writings has awakened d deep interest
In India among The western nations,
but there are very few people who, not
having visited India. are sensible Of
what an enormous empire it Ia and now
prodigious it's possibilities are. The
English Consular journal furnishes
some compact facts which place before
ms some OF the prodigions outlines OF
that mysterious country. It ranges over
80 degrees OF latitude. from the eighth
to the thirty-seventh parallel. making
1850, 600 square miles. The population
Of this mighty empire is but little short
of 800. 600, 900. The bulk Of this people
live in villages Of less than 2,000 popu-
lation. In the great plain OF Bengal
no fewer than 65, 600, 0e0 souls are en-
tirely dependept upon agricultural pur-
suits, the average density Of the popu-
Iation being over 700 to the square
mile. Here there are three crops gath
cred each year Of wheat, millet and oil
seed, and two rice crops. Two hundred
million acres are under cultivation, and
one-sixth ia rendered arabic by irriga-
tion. No less than 20. 600, 900 acres are
devoted to rice, about 40, 600. 900 TO
millet and about 25, 600, 600 to wheat
The annual output of the Indian coal
mines is about 5000, 600 tons. In spite
of all these resources, famine and pow
erty ravage vast districts periodically
and plague follows in their footsteps
To the amelioration of this condition
England has bent all her commercial
and moral faculties, but the greatest
obstacle has been the inherited igno-
rance and superstition of the common
people. Slowly but surely western en-
terprise is pushing its way into the
jungles and along the Ganges up TO the
base of the Himalayas, and when one
considers that the present trade of Great
Britain with India is valued at EGO,
600. 900 per year. and that only small
portion of the vast domain of India has
been redeemed TO civilization, one can
dimly perceive what an enormous factor
in the worlds producing power this
rich empire will be when it is once
thoroughly subject to all the modern
influences

The permanent crippling of Miss Gale
Woodward, beautiful and highly es-
teemed young woman of Derby. Conn.,.
while exercising at physical culture
club. brings up once more the question
of the propriety of woman S attempting
those risky athletic feats which belong
exclusively to men. Miss Woodward
undertook to vault over wooden horse
Some part of her dress caught in the
saddle, throwing her back upon her
spine and making her a cripple for life.
Medical men have repeatedly called the
attention of the gymnastic teachers to
the periis which women undergo in
these violent exercises, insisting that
nature in the organization of a woman
did not intend that she should put her
system to any such strain. There are
enough proper exercises for women
without resorting to this foolish COM
petition with their harder brothers.
One Of the medical journals. apropos of
this. lamentable incident, points out
that the post mortem examinations have
shown that athletic women undergo in
tefnal strains that not only affect their
whole lives, but Vnfit them in many
cases for the special duties of their sex
