ration Fifteen OF Them
Found Dead.

Manila, Feb. 21.-Filipino insurgents
were to-day driven away from Macati.
This morning they opened fire upon
Anderson's lines there and seemed de-.
termined in their attack. Two guns Of
the Sixth artillery, under Lieut.. Scott,
however, were trained on the insur-
gent positions while the troops froTa
Macati charged and drove the enemy
before them. Fifteen Filipino dead
were found and four wounded. Two
American soldiers were wounded by
the explosion of Springfield rifles.
The natives had concentrated in
front of Kings brigade, and became Sd
annoying that two companies of the
Washington infantry were sent over
the Pasig river. They swept the coun-
try for two miles, and then swung over
10 the river bank, opposite the insur-
gent trenches, facing the American
position at Macati, and opened n flank
fire on the insurgents across the river.
The Filipinos continue to fire upon
hospitals, and the Red Cross flag has
been n target. Several tunes Chap
lain Pierce has narrowly escaped
death. and all ambulances are SUBJ
iected to Il guerrilla fire. Sharp
shooters have attempted 20 pick off
surgeons of the hospital corps, and
there are Instances where wounded
men have Eeen killed by insurgent bull
lets.

MUTUAL MISCONCEPTIONS.
Really tho Beet OF Feeling Existing Be-

spite Designing FaIsiiiers.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Senor Que
sada, late of the Cuban legation and
Just returned from Cuba, was in con-
suitation with the officials of the state
and war departments yesterday. He
does not care to discuss his recent mis-
sion for publication. but did say that
there appeared to be 4 misconception
in both the United States and in Cuba
rs to the attitude of the people in
each country. He desired it under
stood. and said that he based his state
ment on the closest observation while
in Cuba, that absolutely the best of
feeling prevailed among the Cubans
towards the United States military
authorities in the island. This was
true, notwithstanding the open efforts
of some persons TO give rise to the
impression that great friction exists
ard that the Cubans generally were
chatting at the actions of the Ameri-
cans
He was sure that with the simple
exercise of the most ordinary tact on
both sides there could arise no trouble
between the Cubars and Americans.

NEGLECTED INDUSTRY.
The Honey BusineSs Is .ot Receiving

1t is a matter of cOngratulation that
30 many Of the side industries possible
10 the farm have been brought into
prominence within 4 few years through
the farm press and the farmers insti-
tute, but there is something still lack
ing. The honey business is rarely men
toned at a farmers institute. and man:

Illinois has many honey plants which
would be a source of considerable rev.
enue if the honey could be secured. but
because of lack of bees thousands OF
dollars worth of nectar wastes every
year. All over the state white clover
grows and fiourishes during the sum-
mer. and in most of the state heartsease
and Spanish needle are found in waste
places, while golden rod might almost
be named as the flower of the state.
Besides these is sweet clover. which is
4 troublesome weed in most places. and
many dislike the honey that comesfrom
it.
Intelligent farmers recognize the
value of bees in the polarization Of
fruit flowers. and they no doubt ac-
complish much good in the same way
with other crops. There is room for
bees on every farm in the state, and if
every farmer produced only honey
enough for his own family. the saving
in the item of sweets for family use
would be larger than most men imlp.

About Color and Breeds.

Many readers who take an interest in
he breeds are at a loss to understand
the advantages possessed by birds of
the same breed, but which are different
in color. For instance. there are the
white, buff. black. brown. dominique
and silver-duckwing Leghorns, but they
differ only in color, being equal in lay
ing qualities. The same may be stated
of the s~ingle-comb and rose comb va
~rieties. There is Il difference. however.
in hardness. The varieties that are
rare. such as the black. dominique and
STRENGTHENING Leghorns. are more in
bred. as lew blood is not easily OBJ
tanned. but the bluffs, whites and
browns. though harder than the 9TH
ers. are about equal in merit otherwise
Color has but little, if any. influence in
determining quality.-Farm and Fire

DAYS OFF AND FIGURES, TOO.

To the Editor of The Spy:

tinted publication is wont to exult in
space that might more probably be
devoted to the printing of such news as
the unfortunates who remain on duty.
are able to CLEAN, does not prove wholly
an unmixed blessing. 1t is evidently
the turn of the papers mathematician
to be abroad this week, and the com
pilation of base ball batting ayera ges
with which the Dreamer consumes
space on Mondays is even more weird
and bewildering than usual. For in
stance, Kuhns, with 339 times at bat
and 112 hits, is correctly given an aver
age of 1877; while Walters, who has
made but 104 hits in exactly the same
number of times at bat, is given an
average of 1886 and place four points
higher In rank. The schoolboy temp
orarily in charge had better divide
over again-and when he has done it let
him take the next name-Wagner of
Toronto--and explain to a curious
world how IA hits out of 1928 times at
bat can give batting average of 1923.
With such transparent errors as these
existing in simply the first dozen names
on the list, it is rather difficult to state
the practical value of the compilation.
and a friendly pieceofadvice wouldbe to
drop the task so far beyond ones ca
liabilities, wait till the end of the sea-
son and copy the tables of The Spy.
