A SHARP SkIRMISH.
Gen. Fred Grants Troops Engage
the Filipino Rebels Near
BaCOOr.

Manila, Oct. Cen Fred Grant,
with three companies of the Fourth regi-
ment, two companies of the Fourteenth,
and a number of scouts, crossed the linus
river yesterday and formed a line ex-
tending from Binacayan to Manila bay.
The troops then moved toward Bacoor.
forcing the enemy to the shore of the
bay.
Rileys battery enfiladed the rebels
from the Bacoor road The Sharpest
part of the skirmish took place within
close range of the Binacayan church.
The Americans lost only three men
wounded Ten of the enemy were killed.
The entire country over which the
troops operated consists of swamps, rice
fields, and fish dykes, and the eXertion of
moving through and over these obstacles
greatly weakened the Americans.
The insurgents were under command of
Casanela, the former mayor of linus, who
abandoned his support of the Americans
and became general in the rebel army.
The ElllplnOS threaten to capture Para
naque, Las Pinas, Bacoor, and linus this
week, in celebration of the anniversary
of their capture of linus from the Span
iards three years ago. If they make the
attempt they will get hotter reception
than the Spaniards ever dreamed of Civ
ing them.
Two hundred men of the Third caval-
ry, who disembarked from their trans
port yesterday, have been ordered to Ba-
coor with their horses

FROGS FROM THE NORTH.
Minnesota Leads in the Production of
This Table DeIicacy.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 7.-St. Paul and
Minneapolis are the largest frog markets
in the world. The total receipts for the
past year from the frog catchers OF the
state exceeded 100000 dozen, requiring
the slaughter of no less than 100000
frogs. Five wears ago no frogs were
shipped out Of Minnesota. Now the
business amounts to upward Of 100000
q year. A wonderfulSindustry has grown
up in st. Paul and Minneapolis in sup
plying the United States with frog legs.
Frogs are found in other states. OF
course. In the South the supply will
probably never become exhausted, but
there are no frogs like the Minnesota
product for the epicure. This is attrib-
uted to the clear, cool water which is
found III Minnesota's 10000 lakes in
which the frogs live and have their nests.
Frog legs are purchased all through the
state by shippers from the two cities. and
this occupation gives employment to more
than 100 families, who make a good liy-
ing the year round. The professional
frog catchers can tell frog pond at a
glance and they can locate the frog nests
and secure the greatest number in sur
prisingly short space Of time.

MUTINY ON BOARD.
Report that Several Persons
Had Been Injured.

New York, Oct THE Philadelphia
excursion steamboat Georgiana, which
went out to the cup race this morning,
returned to the city this afternoon with
her flag at half-mast, and the American
flag hoisted with the union down, indi-
eating q, death on board and wanting as
SiStance.
As she passed the Battery the captain
sung out to the police tug that mutiny
had occurred on board and that four or
five persons had been killed, and to come
Immediately.
The police captain called number of
officers and started off after the Georgia
ana which was making for pier 6, North
river AS soon as the captain of the
Georgiana was assured of police protec-
ton, the steamboat made up to pier f.
North river and began to make fast
there.
The police have begun to assemble at
the place. The captain of a tug put into
the battery and shouted to the police to
go aboard the Georgiana, that there had
been a riot and that four men had been
killed
The gates to the pier were Immediately
locked and guarded by the police and no
persons were allowed to enter or leave
the pier.
Chief Of Police Devery. as soon as he
learned of the trouble on the Georgiana.
sent several platoons of police to the
North river pier, where she will dock.
1t is now reported that no one on the
Georgiana was killed. but that a num-
Der of persons were injured.
The passengers on the Georgiana who
attempted to land at Pier Six We're
dubbed back by the police, but one man
dropped into a rowboat and landed at
Pier Five. This passenger, who refused
to give his name, said that the Georgiana
had been chartered by an organized gang
of Philadelphia and New York gamblers.
He said that gambling games were run
ming on one deck and no attempt was
made to reach the race course.
The Georgiana dawdled along tc a
point off Coney Island and then slowed
up and it was quite evident to all the
passengers that they were in a gambling
boat instead of on a pleasure steamer,
whose objective point was the yacht race.
The passengers then waited on the
captain and demanded that the vessel
should proceed to the race course, Or
that their money be returned by the
purser. This appeal proved unavailing
and riot ensued During the melee sew
eral were badly beaten.
