ECHICAGO AND NEW YORK.
Wellington Will Soon be Able to Talk to
Eastern Towns.

By August /, at the latest, Yelling
ton will be able to talk with Kansas
City, Chicago, St. Louis, New York
and Boston. The Missouri & Kansas
Telephone company is making prepa-
rations for extensive Improvements
this year which will make it one Of
the largest and strongest companies
10 the country. The first new line
to be completed will be the one
between Newton aud Emporia.
When this is finished Wellington will
be in connection with the east as This
line is needed to close the gap. Man
ager Duggan of the local exchange has
received information that the mater
ial for the line is on the ground, and
that two gangs Of men are at work.
He says that the line will be COM
pleted by August at the very latest.
Toe line from Wichita to Wellington
and other points in the southern part
of the state, is being rebuilt and new
lines put In to accommodate the
Oklahoma business, which will largely
increase as soon as the eastern con-
nections are made. Meantime as bus
mess justifes t,rates will be reduced,
twenty-five per cent being cut off toll
line rates to begin with.
The survey for a line from Wichita
to EldCrado and Augusta has been
completed, and work upon it will be
commenced as soon as the material
can be laid down. Manager Duegan's
force is now employed upon the
rebuilding of the lines in Wichita.
This work has been in progress for
several months and has been nearly
completed. Another line will be
built from Wellington to Harper and
Anthony, and another from Salina to
Hutchinson, as well as to Abb.
lene, Minneapolis, Lincoln and
Beloit. Salina and BrOokville will
also be connected, making network
of lines throughout the eastern half
of the state, both north and south.
In Missouri the company will con-
meet Nevada with Springfield and
double the lines between Kansas City
and Nevada; it will build also from
ChillicOthe to MOberly and Hannibal,
and from st. Joe to Gallatin, Trenton
and Macon City. 1t is contemplated
to build a line from ST. Joe up the
river. When these extensions are
made the Missouri and Kansas COM
pany will have in operation 1900 miles
of wire, and Wellington will be in
communication with every town
along the route.

The Santa Fe to Oil Its Tracks.

The Santa Fe is making prepara-
tions to oil the track on the Southern
division. This will be done in order
to keep down the dust and make
travel as pleasant as though the line
had the finest rock ballast,
Whether or not the work will be
done depends upon the success Of an
experiment the Santa Fe is making
upon its lines in New Mexico. For
some distance the road runs through
the Mohave desert and the sand and
dust is said to be something terrible.
The oil Is sprayed on the track by
means of an apparatus attached to an
oil tank, which looks like a spray of a
street sprinkler. The car can be run
at the speed Of four miles an hour and
the work done satisfactorily. 1t costs
the company from $50 to $50 a mile to
oil the track but this is counted cheap
fit will keep down the dust. As
soen as the success of the experiment
is determined, all the lines of the
Santa Fe, which are not rock bal
lasted, will be treated with oil. The
Panhandle line from Mulvane to
Amarillo will be oiled if the expert
ment is a success.

General Wheaton Encounters

4 Sharp Engagement Lasting Several

LOss-General Wheaton Made
Target for Filipino Bullets.

hduild, June ia UdUJdllOl OF
the Fourth infantry, which left linus.
where General Wheaton is in com.
mand, this morning, to recOnnoiter
towards PereZdasmarinas, seven miles
south Of linus, where it was believed
most Of the rebels who escaped from
Paranaque and BacooT had fled, was
attacked in the rear by apparently
friendly natives.
This brought on a sharp engage
ment, lasting several hours, resulting
in the killing of five Americans and
the woundiDg of about twenty-five.
The loss of the rebels was very heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its
ammunition and at half past 2 O'Clock
this afternoon Genera! Wheaton and
his staff, with the Second battalion,
two mounted guns and one field piece,
went to reinforce the troops attacked.
General Wheaton was fred on in a
road and had a narrow escape.
Later the Third battalion was
ordered to the front and formed on
the Las Minas road. Heavy firing on
both sides followed, the artillery
being freely used. The enemy was
located in the woods at 4 o'clock. The
rebels showed signs Of retiring, as
they were pressed very hard. One
gun of the Sixth artillery, in an
advantageous position, did great exc
cutiUn.
The fighting was still in progress
at 8 o'clock, at which time the Amer
leans had secured a quantity of Fill
pinO arms which had been abandoned
in the woods. The scene Of the fight
is over twenty miles from Manila.

mustered out Of the volunteer ser
vice, to the Philippines. He says he
has been assured by Adjutant Gene,
raj COrbin that every request Of Gen
Otis has been granted as to furnish
ing him with sufficient number Of
men. Notwithstanding this fact, he
said, there seemed to be a sentiment
among federal authorities that might
lead to the recruiting OF several regi
ments in the United States which
would be sent to General Otis. Three
regiments, Colonel Durbin says, will
certainly be recruited. But for tht
first three, General Otis will bt
allowed to select officers who are nov
in the Philippines. After that off.
GERS will be selected by presidential
appointment.
Colonel Durbin says the Wa
department will not ask for volun
teers by states. The president will
appoint all the regimental officers
No regiment will be taken as COM
panies, but cne hundred men may bt
taken at one time. This llan /:
