Daring Attack by Filipinos Re-
pulsed with Heavy Losses, At
ter n Lively Engagement.

Manila, April 12.-At three o'clocA
yesterday morning the insurgents tore
up the railway tracks between Bigaa
and Bocave, and cut the telegraph
wires, hoping to shut off communion
ton with headquarters at Malolos. The
rebels were in considerable force, and
came from The eastern foothills. The
First Minnesota infantry of Wheaton's
brigade, which has been held in re-
serve ever since the advance to the
north began, was guarding the railroad
in the vicinity of Bocave when the in
surgents appeared. a lively engage
ment between the Minnesota troops
and the insurgents at once began, and,
as the fighting spread all along the
line between Marilao and Guiginto,
Gen. Wheaton hurried from Malolos
with reinforcements.
An armed railway train was rushed
to the scene, and the rebels, after at
tempting to make a stand, were COM
PEELED to flee, after suffering loss of
over 40 in killed and wounded The
Americans lost three killed and had Is
wounded.

While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases II has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure ofaDIood
diseases rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Sgyamp-Root has been tested in so

AMERICAN JACKIES EXCITED.
ArdcntIy Anxious to be Sent to Sa-
mon-Ordered to Report to
Admiral Kautx.

San Francisco, April 13.--The news
of the resumption of hostilities in Sa-
noa with the Americans and English
OH enc side and the Ma4aafas and pos
sibly the Germans on the other,
aroused great feeling on the battle
ship Iowa. now at anchor in this har-
bor, off the Union iron works. Lit
tie groups of iackies discussed the sit
raticf ardently, and expressed great
hopes that their vessel would be or
dered to join the American and Brit
isl. ships now in the harbor at Apia.
1t is doubtful if the Io1va's great
draught would permit her entering the
reef bound harbor.
Lieut.. E. c. Hughes has already been
ordered to report to Admiral Kautz to
take the place left vacant by the death
of Lieut.. Lansdale. He will sail on the
first available steamer, probably the
Mariposa, which leaves for the Anti
podes to-day.

Tnc Samoan Situation Grave. but Elk.
pectcd to Yield to Cool, Sem
SibIe Treatment.

Washington, April 13.-The acute
situation in Samoa gave rise to grave
apprehension among officials during
the early day yesterday in Washing
ton; but the conclusion was reached
as the departments closed, that the sit
uation is one that will yield TO sensi.
BILE and cool treatmentif all The parties
to the Berlin treaty are sincere in ar
effort to prevent further trouble. As
put by a cabinet officer, the killing OF
the sailors has not materially changed
the general problem, though it has I'M.
doubtedly added to the difficulty Ci
dealing with the specific situation.
The only official news touching the
last incident was contained in Admiral
kautz' cablegram. The secretary said
that no additional instructions were
to be sent by him to the admiral. The
secretary of state, however, has beer
told that he is at liberty 20 forward
any instruction to the admiral that he
may deem necessary, but that if he
corcludes to do so he must act imme-
die tely.
Ordered to Join the Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia was shorthanded
for officers before the loss of Lieut.
Lansdale and Ensign Monaghan, auc
the department yesterday promptly
sent telegraphic orders to Mare Isl
and to dispatch some officers to re
cruit the force. Lieut.. Schuetz gocI

S Huges, Lieut.. Schofield and Lieut.

Diplomatic Negotiations.
The diplomatic negotiations of thu
day were not directed particularly &c
the encounter, as the official informa
ton was too meager thus far to war
rant positive official action. There
were many inquiries, however, and
the state department and the British
and German embassies exchanged such
advices as they had on the subject.
In the main the diplomatic negotia-
tons continue to center around the
high commission. On this subject a
breach is gradually opening between
Great Britain and Germany because
OF the refusal of Great Britain to have
the commission leave San Francisco on
the 18th.

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.

left the farm when mother died, and
changed my place of dwellin'
To daughter Susie's stylish house, right
in the city street,
And there was them, before I came, that
sort of scared me tellin'
How I would find the town-folks' ways so
difficult to meet
They said I'd have no comfort in the
rustiin' fixed-up throng
And I'd have 70 wear stiff collars every
weekday right along.
I find I take to city ways just like duck
to water.
like the racket and the noise and never
tire of shows:
And there's no end of comfort in the man
sion of my daughter.
And everything is right at hand, and
money freely flows:
And hired help is all about. just listenin'
for my call.
But I miss the yellow almanac off my
kitchen wall.
The house is full of calendars from attic to
the cellar:
They're painted in all colors, and are
fancy-Iike to see.
But just in this particular I'm not a mod
ern feller,
And the yellow-covered almanac is good
enough for me:
I'm used to it. I've seen it round from boy
hood TO old age,
And rather like the jokin' at the bottom
Of each page.
like the way the IS" stood out to show
the weeks beginnin'
On these new-fangIed calendars the days
seemed sort of nixed),
And the man upon the cover, though he
wasn't exactly winnin
With lungs and liver all exposed, still
showing how we are fixed:
And the letters. credentials that was writ
10 Mr.. Aver,
I've often, on rainy day, found readin'
very fair.
[ tried to find one recently; there want one
in the city.
They toted out great calendars in every
sort of style;
I looked at EN- in cold disdain, and an
swered 'em in pity:
I'D rather have my almanac than all
that costly pile
And, though I take to city life, I'm lone
some, after all,
Fer that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall
