Conducted His Own Funeral Services.

PAoLA, Kan, Jan. 2S.-The Rev.
August Stewart, an aged minister, died
Yesterday under most peculiar circum-
stances and was buried to-day. On
Wednesday the Rev. Mr.. Stewart
preached his own funeral sermon, and
at his own request there were no ser
vices over his remains to-day beyond a
short prayer.
Wednesday morning the Rev. Mr..
Stewart, who was in robust health
for n man of his age, announced to his
wife that he had done his last days
work and that he would not live the
week out. His wife tried to persuade
him out of the notion, but he clung to
it and prepared for the end, disposins
of all his personal property ana making
his will. "Wednesday AFTERNOON ne
called in hi, ncighbors and made the
same announcement that he made TO
his wife. Then he announced hymn
which WAS sung, and following 1t MI.
Stewart preached his own funeral ser
mon, closing with prayer for the re-
nose of his soul. Immediately after
wards he went to bed, and when Il
doctor was called he sent him away,
saving that he had been called by death
and that medicine would do no good.
He requested that his body be taken
directly to the cemetery, and that no
funeral sermon be preached, as he had
attended to that. Yesterday he died,
and his wishes were observed.
Physicians say that he had no physl-
cal ailmcnt aud that his death was due
entirely to his prcsentimcnt and his re-
fnsal to combat.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF ATTACK.
According to the best information the
immediate cause of the attack on the
Americans by the Filipinos was an ad-
vance by two Filipinos to the Nebraska
outpost on the northwest of the city.
When ordered to halt they refused,
and the sentry fired. An insurgcnt
signal gun was then fired from block
house = and an attack was Immediately
begun on the Nebraska regiment.
The fighting soon spread on both
sides until firing was in progress on all
the outposts around the city. The
American troops responded vigorously.
the insurgent fire being heavy and the
attack evidently hurriedly planned.
This was Saturday night.
Firing continued tnrOuSnOllt oatlir-
dav night with an occasional cessation
of from half an hour to an hour at a
time.
At daybreak Sunday the warshipS,
Charleston and Callao, began shelling
the north side Of the city. Their fire
was followed later by that of the Mo-
nadnock on the southern side, the
insurgent positions having been pre-
viously accuratelylocated. Two Amer
leans were wounded on the Monadnock.
The Filipino loss is reported to have
been heavy, amounting to several hun
dred.
Manila, Feb. 6.-Careful estimates
place the Filipino losses up to date at
1000 dead, $500 wounded and 1000
taken prisoners.

DETAILS OF TIE BATTLE.

Manila, Feb. 5-S.15 L. M.-Ihe long
expected rupture between the Amerl-
cans and the Filipinos has come at last.
The former are now engaged in solv-
ing the Philippine problem with the
utmost expedition possible. The clash
came at $40 yesterday evening, when
three daring Filipinos darted past the
Nebraska regiments pickets at Santa
Mesa, but retired when challenged.
They repeated the experiment with
out drawing the sentries' fire. But the
last time Corporal Greely challenged
the Filipinos and then fired, killing one
of them and wounding another.
Almost Immediately afterward the
Filipino line, from Calvocan to Santa
Mesa, commenced fusiladc, which
was Intellectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North
Dakota Outposts replied vigorously,
and held their ground until reinforce
ments arrived.
The Filipinos in the meantime con-
centrated at three points, Calvocan,
Gagalangin and Santa Mesa.
At about o'clock the Filipinos open
ed a hot fire from all three places ST.
multaneously. This was supplemented
by the fire of two siege guns at Balik-
Balik, and by advancing their skir-
mishers at Paco and Pandacan.
The Americans responded with a
terrific fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its
effect.
The Utah light artillery finally sue
ceeded in silencing the native battery
The Sd artillery also did good work
on the extreme left.
The engagement lasted over an hour
The United States cruiser Charleston
and the gunhoat Concord, stationed of
Malabona, opened fire from their sec
ondary batteries on the Filipinos''
position at Calvocan and kept it NJ
vigorously.
At 2.45 there was another fnslladt
along the entire line, and the lmtet
States sea- going double tulret monitor
Monadnock opened fire on the enemy
from off Malate.
With daylight the Americans adj
vanced. The California and Washing
ton regiments made Il splendid charge
and drove the Filipinos from the vii
lagc of Paco and Santa Mesa.
The Nebraska regiment also distn
guishcd itself, capturing several pris
oners and one howitzcr and Il very
strong position at the reservoir, whlcl
is connected with the atcr.works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the cncmy's right flank tt
retire to Calvocan.
There was intermittent firing ut va
rious points all day long.
The losses of the Filipinos cannot b'
estimated at present, but they al'
known to be considerable.
The American losses are estimated
at 90 men killed and f25 wounded.
The Ygoratcs, armed with bows an'
arrows, made IL very determined stan'
in the face of hot artillery fire, ant
left many dead on the field.
Several attempts were made III TIN
city yesterday evening to assaslnat
American officers.

SUICIDE OF HENRY RoTHscHILD
Dependency Brought About by a
Falling Off in His Saloon
RuSiOeSS

Henry RothschAd, who had conducted
saloon at the northwest corner of O'Far-
rell and Powell streets for a number of
years, died at his home, SIS Polk street,
yesterday morning at 4:30 o'clock from
strychnine poisoning. The only reason
assignable for Rothschilds death is that
he became despondent over his business
which had been falling away during the
past year. Previous TO his going into the
saloon business he conducted a grocery
store at the place for a number of years
but the section having lost it's family
wide open, sporty nature he sought bar
room business exclusively and failed The
adverse change preyed on his mind and
caused him to take his life in the manner
described.
Friday night Rothschild closed up his sa-
loon as usual about o'clock and went to
his home. The same morning when called
for breakfast by his wife he complained
OF feeling sick and remained at the house
during the day. He was attended by DR..
Frederick 7. Bond, but nothing could be
daughter had attributed his death to an
accident caused by his drinking whisky

on rats and which had not been cleaned
since the deadly mixture had been in it.
Coroner Hill, however. ignores the acct
dental cause and is pronounced in his
opinion that Rothschild committed suicide
with deliberate intent. Out of a feeling
Of kindness for the family DIR. Hill per-
mitted the body to remain at the resi-
dence, where an autopsy will be held to-
day. The deceased leaves a widow and

Mrs. Beach's Serious
Accident.
CARELESS GRIPMAN AGAIN
THE CAR WHILE SHE
WAS ALIGHTING.
Refused to Stop After the Accident
and Her 4our- Year-Old Son
Jumped, Also Hurting
Himself.

Criminal. carelessness on the part of
employees of the Market Street Railway
Company may result fatally in the case
of Mrs. James Beach, wife of Policeman
James Beach, who was thrown from a
street car last Saturday afternoon The
lady resides at 3547 Twenty-second street,
and was about to transfer to a Fillmore
street car from Haight street, on the re-
turn from the park to her home, when she
met with an accident serious in the ex-
treme.
Mrs. Beach was on board Haight street
car No. 1875, and had secured her transfer
to Fillmore street. She attempted to
alight from the car, but the gripman, re-
gardless of her effort, started the vehicle.
She was thrown violently to the ground
and badly injured about the head and
chest. The woman was in a delicate con-
dition, and grave results are feared as a
consequence.
The car continued on it's journey, and
Mrs. Beach's little four-year-old son, who
accompanied her, and who still remained
on, the car. called to both conductor and
gripman to stop. Neither of them paid
any attention to the child and he
jumped to the ground about fifty feet
from where his mother was lying. He
also received several cuts and bruises.
Last evening Mrs. Beach was in crit
ical condition, and the attending physi-
clans entertain but little hope of her re-
covery. The family are properly in
censed over the affair, and a suit will
shortly be commenced against the rail-

Of rubbernecks, for which this city is
justly famous. They cannot resist
the temptation TO turn their heads
when Meyers machine whizzes by.
The machine is entirely the product
Of the brain and hands of Mr.. Meyer.
He is foreman for the ]. L. Hicks Gas
Engine Company, a designer and me-
chanic of ability. Twelve years ago
while in the employ of Baker & Ham
ilton at Benicia, long before any one
else thought of such a thing. he was
seized with a desire to make a horse
less carriage. He went as far as con-
structing the engine, when unexpected
difficulties arose. and he abandoned
the project, storing the engine in his
basement on Twenty-fourth street,
where it still stands. A sterling trib-
ute was given to his skill in 1898. At
that time he exhibited at the Ne
chanics' Fair a miniature Coriss en-
gine, which was run during the expo
sition and for which he was given a
diploma of honor.
Meyer never abandoned the idea of
the horseless carriage, but did no
work upon it until two years ago.
when he happened TO see running
through the park the vehicle imported
by Charles Fair. At that the ancient
fever seized him and he set to work,
the result being the perfect machine
that now carries himself, his wife and
children at a faster pace and in finer
style than any nabob in the city. At
the present time the machinery is per-
