CALUMPIT CAPTURED.
FilipinOs Retrcated, Burning
Two Towns.

Americans FOrdtd River TO Make the
Attack---Amgat Also surrendered---
Gen. Luna Said 20 Have Succeeded
AgulnnIdO.
Gen. MacArthur's troops have entered
the town OF Calumpit, planting their guns
in front of the church and bombarding the
suburbs, where the insurgents were fight
ing behind trenches Our losses were -
killed or wounded.
Most of the rebels fled to Apalit station,
where two trains were waiting them, and
left hurrledly for san Fernando. The
towns Of San Nincente and Apalit were ST.
multaueOusly burned and evacuated by
the natives. Twenty prisoners were cap
tured a brass cannon, a quantity of arms
and ammunition and a Maxim gun. The
fighting lasted from noon until o'clock.
The enemy were very strongly intrench-
ed on the river bank, near both sides of
the railroad bridge. Gen. Wheaton sent
Col. Funston across with two companies
OF the 10th Kansas regiment, two privates
swimming the swift stream with a rope,
under a CALLING fire, for the purpose of
guiding the raft. The men crossed in
squads Of 20 and attacked the left flank Of
the rebels. The rest OF the regiment
was compelled to cross the bridge in single
file along the stringers. All the woodwork
and much of the iron work had been re-
moved. The First Montana regiment fol-
lowed the Kansas across the bridge, with
the First Nebraska regiment acting as re-
serve; attacked the rebels in three lines Of
trenches, driving them out, killing IL and
wounding many.
In the meantime 5000 Flipinos led by
Gen. Antonio Luna, evidently coming to
reinforce the rebels who were engaged
with the Nebraskans, appeared in the
open field two miles to the left. Emerg-
ing from the jungle the enemy formed an
open skirmish line, nearly two miles in
length, with very thick reserves behind.
They then advanced at double quick, until
they were about 1000 yards from the Amer
lean lines, when Gen. Wheaton ordered
his troops to fire. The rebels, who were
evidently unaware that the Americans had
crossed the river, broke and ran in the di-
rection of Macabeo. The other Filipinos
fed toward Apalit station.
The heat in the early part of the fore
noon was terrific, but drenching thunder
storm, which came up later, greatly re-
| freshed the Americans.
Gen. Lawton's troops are still encamped
at Norzagaray. Col. Summers, with the
Minnesota and Oregon regiments and a
| troop of cavalry, advanced and captured
| Angat, returning to Norzagaray.
1t is reported again from Spanish Off
| cial sources that Gen. Antonio Luna su-
| persedes Aguinaldo as the Filipino leader.
Luna, the report says, has issued a procla-
nation pronouncing the sentence of death
upon all natives found with the proclama-
tion of the Uuited States commissioners in
| their possession.

The following cabegram from Gen. Otis
was received at the war department late
Wednesday evening:
"Gen. Lawton is al Norzagaray and Am
gat. His two columns have united and
have driven the enemy to the north and
west. Slight casualties are reported, but
the names are not given. His only means
of communication is by couners. Gen.
Macarthur has taken the portion of Cal
umpit south of the river. The movement
of his troops is attended with difficulties,
on account of the jungle, the heat and the
strong intrenchments. His casualties yes
terday we're three killed and II wounded.
Developments thus far are satisfactory"
The military authorities at Washington
are said to be impatient at the failure of
Gen. Otis to accomplish substantial re-
suits in the military operations around Ma
nila, and are awaiting the result of the ad-
vance upon Calumpit before deciding
what to do about calling out volunteers.
Gen. Miles was at the White House We'd
nesday, and there were many rumors as TO
the object of his visit, one of which was
that he may be sent 70 take command in
the Philippines.
There was bard fighting near Calumpit
Wednesday, Gen. Macarthur advancing
his position to the west of the rebel strong
hold. Artillery was employed by the Fill
pinos, but with little effect.
Adyices by carrier pigeon to Manila re-
port that Gen. Lawton's column and the
second, under Col. Summers, have formed
junction at Norzagaray, 10 miles east of
Calumpt.
The state department has withdrawn
any objection it may have entertained to
the despatch of Spanish troops from the
Philippines to the Carolinas. Gen. Otis
has requested that the Spanish garrison at
Zamboango be held there until an Ameri-
can force can be sent to relieve them.

If city customs set the style in foot
wear, the really correct thing for bi-
cycle riding would be a mystery to an
observer, for about every sort of foot
wear suited to wheel riding may be
seen on every cycle path. Popular
favor. however, is decidedly with the
/ inch or "half high" laced boot of
russet leather.
Our best 1899 boot of this style was
specially made for us from vci leather
selected for it's strength and softness.
The color is just the right shade of tan,
the shape graceful, easy fitting and cor
rect in style. Pricing them at $3
would not be asking bit more than
moneys worth, but buying direct from
the manufacturer and selling for cash
are items of economy, and $3.50 is a
price possibility that you are given the
advantage of.
Some excellent bargains, also, at
less prices.

The Object of Rev. c. q. Days Western
Trip.


The new secretary of the Congregational
Education society, Rev. c. o. Day, has no
intention of spending all his time in his Of
flee debating letters to the churches re-
minding them of their duty and privi-
leges. He wants to get his information at
first hand touching the need and conditions
of Western colleges, and with that end in
view left Boston last week to be absent
until about May 20. His outward trip will
take him through the southern sections of
our country and The Congregationalist has
sought to utilize again the pen which
sketched Rudyard Kipling in his Vermont
home so graphically, and we hope to pub
lish two or three articles summarizing Mr..
Days impressions of current vital matters
in the South ana West The British
Weekly, which has keen scent for liter
airy material Of the first rank, of March 80
printed in full the Kipling article, and the
London Independent of the same date
printed generous extracts from the same.

Marcus DAILY, the Montana copper king,
says the copper combine has not secured
his Anaconda property. He says that be-
fore the scheme is consummated some bust
ness must be done with him. He be-
lieves the deal will go through, but says
the talk of capitalization of S5O0,OOO,-
600 is nonsense. This is a greatly exag-
gerated capital on which it would be i'm
possible TO make fair earnings.

Gov Rollins's allegation of the decay of
Christianity in New Hampshire has
brought the statistical theorists to the
front. Figures show that Massachusetts
has a religious organization to every $40
of its population and a seating capacity in
its churches for about one-half its popula-
tion; New Hampshire has religious or
ganization for every 4S0 people and seat
ing capacity in churches for two-thirds of
its population. The statistical expert of
the Burlington News jumps into the ring
and says Vermont wont take back seat
for anybody, and then adds: The census
of 1890 gave Vermont population of 932,-
600 with 904 religious organizations, or one
to every 967 of the population; S02 church
buildings, or almost exactly one to every
400 of population, with a seating capacity
of 237, 900 or about 11-16ths of the popu-
lation, and 106,3l5 church members, or
one out of every three of the whole popu-
lation. But how is it about vital christian
ity in Vermont?

Subsidized industries do not always
prove advantageous enterprises. The rec
ord OF the Nudge Shoe company, which
moved from Springvale, Me-, to East Roch-
ester, n. H., is a case in point The peo-
pie of the latter village gave the company
$25, 900 and it is alleged that they were
guaranteed l to Is per cent return on the
investment. They never got cent, and
the shoe company is nsolyent. The in
vestors are raisinga fund to carry on legal
investigation of affairs to learn what be-
came Of the SO 900 Many of the inves-
tors were comparatively poor people and
some of them mortgaged their homes to
raise the necessary cash.

Friday was a great day for Matthew
Stanley Quay, the Republican boss of
Pennsylvania. He was declared not
guilty on the charges of conspiracy and
misuse of the funds of the state on deposit
in the Peoples bank at Philadelphia. The
Jury was out 20 hours. As soon as the
result was announced Gov. Stone appoint
ed Quay United States Senator. The
Senate has decided several times that
where a legislature has failed to elect
senator the office must remain vacant un-
til an election takes place in the succeed
ing legislature. Mr.. Quay is on record as
voting in against seating Lee Mantle Of
Montana, who was appointed by the gov
ernor after the legislature had balloted
long time and then adjourned. An at
tempt will undoubtedly be made to have
Quay's former associates go back on their
records for his sake, but it will be a
national disgrace if he is given his seat
