METAL CROSS TIES.

| The Railroad Gazette has an article

given a rigid and solid construction.

elastic track. "On steam railroads,

Tales Of the Big Battle Of ldgste Told by
an Eyewitness.

At times the fighting on the island
has progressed very slowly, 1t seems
to me, writes the Sun correspondent,
but business was taken up with vigor
and dispatch south Of Manila, after the
capture OF Las Pinas and Paranaque.
II had not been intended then to go
ahead as fast as we did, but there were
unexpected developments, and General
LAYTON Ia not the man to lose any ad-
vantage simply because II comes to
him when he isn't looking for 1t. Our
outposts had been established pretty
well down the road below Las Pinas,
perhaps a mile or q little more from
the center Of the town where the
church Is. One evening when Gen.
Lawton was out a little beyond the
southern outposts some insurgents hid
den In the woods few hundred yards
away took q few shots at him. That
set him to wanting more than ever to
know just where they could be found,
and he started out the next morning
with two companies, C and F OF the
Twenty-frst to make a reconnaissance
on his own hook. II was called a re-
connolssance in force. but the force was
mighty small for the work that devel-
oped for II to do. AS Gen. Lawton
said. after II was all over he started
out to find the enemy and he found
them BY large majority.

tn. Hotties. Battle Of tn. War.

During the big battle that followed,
when the main body was brought up
To- support the two lone companies. our
men were without protection OF any
sort most Of the time. They were con-
cealed little by a fringe OF bamboo
and scrub that ran along the river
bank and that lined the road. But
there was nothing in any OF this stuff
that would stop or even hinder very
much any kind OF a bullet the insur-
gents had to fire. Our only protection
was the old and well-tried one 81 a
well-directed and hot fire OF our own.
The roar OF the guns was incessant.
and all the afternoon the people OF Ma
Mia, ten miles and more away, knew
that the expected battle OF Zapote was
on In a single ten minutes, out of
about fifty men lying in a road behind
the approach to the bridge, three were
killed on the instant, one was wounded
so severely that he did not live to reach
lie hospital. and six others were hit
more or less seriously. 1t looked for
a little time as IL nobody was going 10
get away unscathed, and the one ci-
viiian non-combatant there does not
hesitate to admit that he wished most
heartily to be out OF It He even
yearned for the hummocks OF dirt he
had left for the last rush forward and
wondered why he was fool enough to
get out Of such a good place when
once he had it.
