FOR CALUMPII
General MacArthur'S Division
Quits MaloIos for Aguinaldo's
Headquarters.
Part of His Force Crosses the
Bagbag Near the Outskirts
of the Town.
Hard Fight Occurs at Quengua
in Which the Americans
Lose Heavily.
Seven Men Killed, Including q
Colonel, and Many Others
Are Wounded.

MANILA, April 25.-General Near
thurs division has left Malolos, appar-
emily intending to besiege Calumpit.
General Hale at in the afternoon
had crossed the Bagbag and had reached
position quarter of mile from
Calumpit, thus commanding the ford.
Prisoners captured by General Hale's
troops say Aguinaldo, General Luna
and the Filipino staff are at Calumpit,
with great force of Filipino troops.
Before daylight the Fourth cavalry,
with three guns belonging to the Utah
battery, the Nebraska regiment and the
Iowa regiment, under General Hale,
were proceeding in the direction of
Kiunchu where the Bagbag is fordable,
but commanded by trenches.
During the afternoon the troops
crossed the river.
Armed Cars in the Lead.
Generals Macarthur and Wheaton,
with the Montana regiment, advanced
to the left of the railroad and the Kan
sas regiment moved forward to the
right, north Of Malolos. They had
with them long supply train, with
two armed cars in front, carrying two
Gatling and Colts rapid fire guns and
the 6-pounder which did such execution
at the capture of Malolos.
AS soon as the soldiers left the Fill
Pine capital the natives began focking
in, as they did at Santa Cruz, before
the last boat Of General Lawton's expe-
dition had sailed.
Our army is compelled to abandon all
towns when an onward movement COM
mences, because of insufficient men to
garrison them. This gives the Filipino
leaders framework upon which to spin
stories of American defeat.

DISASTROUS FIGHT.
Americans Win Costly Victory From
the Filipinos at Ouengua.

! Americans Win a Costly Victory From
the Filipinos at Ouengua.
MANILA, April 25.-Four men of ths
Nebraska regimen including Colonel
Stotzenberg and Lieutenant Sisson, and
three men Of the Fourth cavalry wera
killed and IA wounuot Ia al e1gass,
ment at Quengua. The Iilipinos re,
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed into a
disastrous. though successful fight.
The insurgents had horseshoe trench
about mile long, encircling rice
field on the edge of wood. Major
Bell with 40 cavalrymen encountered a
strong outpost. One of his men was
killed and five were wounded by vol
ley. The Americans retired, carrying
their wounded under fire with great
difficulty, being closely pursued, fog
enabling the enemy to creep close up to
them,
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the bodies of the killed cav
alrymen and a battalion of the Nebras-
ka regiment under Major Ford arrived
and advanced until checked by volley
from the intrenchments. The Amer
leans were 800 yards from the trenches
Behind Rice burrows for Two Hours.
Seven men were struck, one dying from
his wounds, while waiting for the artil-
lery to come up. Finally the Second
battalion arrived, then Colonel Stotzen-
berg, who had spent the night with his
family at Manila, came upon the field.
The men Immediately recognized him
and raised cheer.
Colonel Stotzenberg, deciding to
charge as the best way out of the diff
Guilty, led the attack at the head of his
regiment. He fell with bullet in his
breast, dying instantly, about 200 yards
from the breastworks. Lieutenant Sis
son fell with bullet in his heart. In
the meantime the artillery had arrived
and began Smelling the trenches.
The Filipinos stood until the Ne
braska troops were right ON the
trenches and then they bolted to the
second line of intrenchments a mile
back. The Nebraskans lost two pri-
Yates killed and many wounded, includ-
ing two ieutenants.
Filipino Loss Comparatively Small.
The Iowa regiment had several
wounded. The Utah regiment had one
officer and three men wounded. Thir-
teen dead Filipinos were found in the
trenches. Their losses were compare
lively small on account of their safe
shelter. The Americans carried the
second trench with small loss and are
holding the town.
Colonel Stotzenberg has won a repu-
tation as one of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although, during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers, who were not used to the
rigid discipline of the regular troops,
thought him hard officer.
The loss of the Nebraska regiment in
the campaign is the greatest sustained
by any regiment and the days disaster
has greatly saddened officers and men,
who promise to take fierce vengeance in
the next fight.

Why Wood Crackles.

Wood crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
it's way through the pores of the wood
with a cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filled
with gap and moisture, which extin-
guish the flame, whereas the pores Of
dry wood are filled with air, which
supports combustion.

DIED LIKE FLIES.
An Appeal Taken for the Samoans in the
Name of Humanity.


London, May 2.-Robert Louis Stew
ensons widow has written a letter to
the Westminster Gazette from Funchal;
Madeira, on the bombardment of Sa-
moan villages by the British and Ameri-
can warshps. Mrs. Stevenson says:
President Mckinley allowed no fir
ing on Cuban towns unless they gave
active cause of offense, and Commo-
dore Watson was ordered not to at
tack undefended Spanish cities Does
the president keep his humanity for civ
ilized countries alone?"
Mrs. Stevenson declares that the Sa-
moan villages are inhabited in time Of
war by on-combatants who have to
choose between the shells of the war
ships and taking to the bush" IN
der such conditions, she says, delicate
women can hardly exist, while children
die like flies.
Mrs. Stevenson's letter concludes as
follows:
Chief Justice Chambers has been
represented as saying in a letter to his
brother: I never was happier He
must be person singularly devoid of
imagination or he never pictured to
himself the scenes being enacted in the
bombardment of those villages; the
exodus of panic-stricken people rushing
hither and thither; shells bursting ev-
erywhere; the cries of bed-ridden and
hapless wounded people, burning alive
in their blazing houses; women in the
panss of childbirth, mangled children

While prospective settlers are roam

sullenly removing their tepees west to
their new reservations. A few of the
Utes will remain on their allotments,

A Star for TMalYe Years.

Missoula, May 2.-Policeman Keim,
who retires from office under the new
administration, has worn a star for
more than IL years. and, during that
time, has been one of the most eff
cient officers that the city has ever
had. He has served the city faith
fully and his retirement will be re-
GREETED by the many friends that he
has made in his long tenure of office.
1t is supposed that Mayor Webster
shelved the veteran en- account of his
politics, though he overlooked the dem
ocracy of some of his appointees. Mr..
Keim retires from the public service
with the good wishes of a large ma
jority of the citizens of the city, who
realize and appreciate the loyal service
that he has rendered them.

against those who rule the government.
l talk as soldier I don't commit my
self to any complications that may lead
to trouble with Germany, but I hug
myself for being an American citizen. e
Gen. Joe Wheeler talked a short
while. He reviewed the circumstances
of the mobilization of the army during
the war and asserted that history will
record that the United States humbl;ng
of Spain was without parallel Cen
eral Wheeler asserted that he had no
complaints about rations. The only
question was whether the benefits of
American civil and religious liberty
should not be given the people whom
Providence had placed under our con-
troll.
Senator Depew said he was an ex-
pansionist, but not an imperialist in the
commonly accepted sense of the word
AS to the Philippine question, he de-
clared that the Filipinos were not to be
tyrannized over by the United States
but were to have someone like General
Sherman ito tell them: /" Go home; stop
raising hell and go to raising crops,''
The senator concluded with the loudly
applauded sentiment that the spirit of
true Americanism would carry the ma
ton through the perils of expansion.
General Breckenridge paid tribute to
the navy by saying that the greatest
brunt of the war fell, not on the army.
but on the navy.

Yards at Garrison.

Missoula, May 1.-The track depart
ment of the Rocky Mountain division
IS at work on the new yards at Gar
rison. where the need of improvements
has long been felt. The numerous
sidetracks that have followed the con-
tour of the surface of the valley at that
point are all being raised to grade and
the unsightly dips and holes filled up.
The work is extensive and will require
considera Bile time, but when it is COM
pleted the improvement will be great.
There is no place on the division where
the need of new and better track ac-
commodations was greater, except at
Missoula. With the improvements
that are now in progress at these two
places the efficiency of the division
will be much increased.
