ing c1oss-tire from the insurgents
massed at Malabon. ,r
The Montana regiment, near Balm
tano, came upon block house dis
guised as leper hospital across the
river, after marching through the
Jungle.
Four men were killed and seventeen
wounded among General MacArthur's
artillery, hampered as they were by the
thickness Of the jungle. Generals Mac
Arthur's and Hale's staffs were fre-
quently under a CALLING fire and upon
one occasion all Of the officers except
ing the generals dismonnted, being
overcome by the heat. There were
many prostrations during the day.
The American loss is now conserva-
lively estimated at sixteen killed and
1870 wounded. The loss of the enemy
was heavier than during any previous
engagement.

THEIR HEARTS BAD.

Cheyennes May Cause Trouble Before
Summer Is Over.
Yellowstone Journal: The effects of
the failure of the house to pass Senator
Mantle's bill for the purchase of the
lands and Improvements Of the white
settlers on the Northern Cheyenne res
ervation may result in serious trouble
before the summer is over. A special
from Helena to the Chicago Record
quotes F. H. Benjamin, we'll known in
this city, as saying that when the green
grass comes the whites on the reserve
will have to fight. Mr.. Benjamin gave
as his authority for the statement
friendly Indians with whom he talked
recently while in the neighborhood of
the reservation.
Confirmatory of his alarming report
are others emanating much nearer
home. County Attorney Porter has re-
ceived several complaints from persons
residing Oh the reservation that the In
dians are becoming ihpudent and claim
that the whites have not kept faith
with them. So aggressive has the con-
duct OF some of them become that
actual alarm is felt by some of the set
tiers and they voice the sentiment that
seems to be entertained by Mr.. Benja-
min.

SCHOOL ELECTION.

1. ID. O'DOnnell Nominated for Trustee of
the Billings District.
The school election will be held on
Saturday of this week. At present the
board of trustees is composed of seven
members, but by the new school law
enacted BY the late legislature the num-
ber is reduced in second-class districts
to five. The terms of three trustees ex-
pi1e with this election and but one is
required to succeed them in order to
complete the board.
The time for filing the nominations
for trustee was up last evening, at
which time there was but one filed
with the clerk Of the board, it being
that OF I. u. O'Donnell. This leaves
the race entirely free to the nominee.
as no one can be voted for without his
name having been nominated by petit
ton, as required by the new law. No
better nominee could have been select
ed for the responsible position than Mr..
O'Donnell. He is at present member
of the board by appointment to fill the
vacancy caused by H. G. Williams alb
senoe. but his term expires this spring
During the short time he has been in
Office he has shown deep interest in
the schools and has given his hearty
support toward them. At present the
south side has but two representatives
on the board of seven and it is only in
justice and all fairness to the school
patrons and residents of that portion of
Billings that Mr.. O'Donnell should be
retained in his official position. Be-
sides this, Mr. O'Donnell has received
both national and state recognition, be-
ing a man of great executive ability
and as such will add strength to the
board as we'll as giving it a standing
among the school boards Of the state.

Lyceum Company Treated to Dose o

Lyceum Company Treated to a Dose of
Stale Hen-Fruit at Red Lodge.
The Red Lodge Picket OF last week
contained a lengthy article concerning
the reception of a comedy company
which played in that city one night last
week. The people of Red Lodge are
not averse to fair show, but when it
smells and even shows its rottenness
then is the time that they slow their
disapproval. The company is made up
of alleged artists from this city and it
is safe to say that after the treatment
accorded them at Red Lodge they will
either hunt for a more congenial
climate or continue to entertain (?) the
element that frequent the "joints" on
the south side. The following is but q
small part of the article from the
Picket:
The "Lyceum Comedy company,
which, it transpired, was organized at
Billings for the alleged express purpose
of working the theater. .goers Of Red
Lodge by opening the new Finland
opera house under the guise Of present
ing an ''uproarious farcial comedy"
with 'operatic music. pretty girls and
bright costumes suffered the greatest
humiliation that contempt can heap
upon "footlight favo1ites'' by being
hissed and hooted at on the stage and
rotten legged out Of town by a delega-
tion of incensed citizens.

MONTANA BOYS IN 1T
American Lost Some Killed and
WOundpd-Natives Lose Heavily.
Fight Near CalOOcan.

Washington, March 25.-Advices to
the war department state that a heavy
engagement is in progress between the
American and insurgent forces when
the dispatch was sent. Twelve thou
sand insurgents are engaged.
Manila, March %, 8 40 p. m.-Elab-
crate preparations were made for to-
days, movement General Wheaton's 8
brigade was placed in the rear, and
Generals Harrison Gray Otis and Hall
were massed behind General Hale's.
Under cover of the darkness, General
Otis and General Hale's brigades left
their trenches and advanced close up to
the enemy's line without, being detect-
ed, General Wheaton's and General
Halls brigades occupying the vacated
positions.
At O'Clock the American troops
breakfasted and the Filipinos, noticing
the campfires, their buglers called to
arms At daylight General Otis and
General Hale's brigades advanced from
Laloma church straight through the
rebel lines. cutting the enemy's force
i'll two.
Upon this occasion the rebels adopted
the Americans tactics of holding their
fire until the attackers were about
1 1000 yards distant. The rebels also
fired longer than usual.
The Americans fired volleys with ter
rife effect and then rushed forward,
cheering and carrying everything before
them. Once through, General Mac
Arthur's division was swung through
the line, driving the rebels away On all
sides.
General Wheaton's brigade, in ac-
cordance with instructions, remained
in the trenches. Before joining in the
movement at noon, General Wheaton s
troops developed strong opposition be-
tween Malabon and the river Tuliahan.
The brigades commanded by Generals
Harrison Gray Otis and Hale advanced
on Novaliches and Polo, strongly en-
trenched towns.
In the meantime General Hale S
brigade swept the country clear to the
water works and the foothills and
Singalon, capturing San Francisco del
Monte and Mariquina.
5:55 p. m.-Late in the afternoon
the Montana regiment and the Third
artillery had CROSSED the Talighan river
going in northwesterly direction to-
ward Polo. and General Macarthur,
with the remainder of General Otis
and General Hale's brigades, were
moving along south of the river in a
nOsition to attack either Noaylicbes or
Polo, being within two miles Of Nova
liches and five miles from Polo. Gen
eral Halls brigade moved to Balac,
protecting Genearl Hale's right. meet

. CHANGE IN TRAIN SERVICE.
Helena Made Kick and Will Get Four
Trains After Thursday.

Helena Made a Kick and Will Get Four
Trains After Thursday.
The Northern Pacific has announced
another important change in its through
train service, by which, after March 80,
both Butte and Helena will rave dou-
BILE service, and none of the trains will
run into Anaconda, but the latter city
will be served by stub train on the
B. A. & P, to connect at Stuart. The
new schedule, which will go into effect
Thursday. it is understood, contem-
plates reduction of about al hour in
the running time from St. Paul to the
coast, and will completely reverse the
running order of the four through
trains. No. 8, westbound, and No. 4,
eastbound, which at present run
through Butte. will, under the new
schedule, run via Helena, and No. j,
westbound, and No. 2. eastbound, now
running through Helena. will go via
Butte. In addition to Nos. l and Q,
Butte will also have swing train
which will run between Logan and
Garrison, connecting with Nos. 3tand
4, through trains running via Helena.
The latter city will have similar stub
connection at Garrison and Logan to
connect with Nos. and 2.
The Northern Pacific officials offer
no explanation as to the reason for the
changes, but it is surimsed that it is in
the interest Of faster time, as an init
nation of further change was given
out a few days after the double train
service was put on.

REGISTRATION INCREASES.

Thursday Night.
L-As the time approaches for the close
of registration for the city election. the
number of persons registering increases.
Up to the time of going to press this
afternoon the list numbers 354, while
it is expected that fully 100 mere will
be registered before the books close on
Thursday night at 9 O'Clock. The reg
istration two years ago was 449, and it
should at least reach the 800 mark this
year, but it will not as the interest is
not manifested that should be in this
matter. Remember the registration
closes Thursday night. A failure to
register means loss Of vote.

IN THE WRONG PEW.

Congressman Hull, chairman Of the
Committee on Military Affairs In the last
House, and representative from the
Seventh Iowa District, restricted the
competitive examinations Of candidates in
his district for appointment to the Naval
Academy TO youths who could present
credentials Of their parents belonging
TO the Republican party" In explana ton
Of his action. Chairman Hull said: an
all sections of the United States repre-
scented by a Democrat. a Democrat is ap-
pointed. and l believe in this district the
Republican party is entitled to representa-
ton from here in the academy" This
limitation has been a topic Of considerable
discussion by the Republican newspapers
Of Iowa, and, as a rule. these papers sus-
tain Congressman Hull. There is an ex-
ception. however. that proves the rule,
the exception being the Sioux City Jour
ral, whose editor represented his district
in Congress for several terms. The Jour
nal champions free competition for cadet
ships, and declares that cit is not Repub-
lican doctrine that this country belongs
to one political party or another; but, on
the contrary, that it is everybody's
country" Moreover the Journal as
serts that il would not If IL could. make
the navy or the army all Republican.
since the people themselves are Of differ
ont political relationship.
The Journal takes high ground. but
from q Republican standpoint it teaches
rank heresy. 1t demonstrates Clearly
that its editor has no business I'm the
Republican party, and that he does not
understand the great underlying doctr.ic
Of that party. He is in the wrong pew
is that this country does belong to one
party, which party is the Republican
party.

,.TrsT many STEALING.

New York has baby-stealing sensa
lion. The 2-year-old daughter Of Mr.. ant
| Mrs A. W. Clarke, OF l59 east Slxty-hftl
street. was taken by her nurse to Central
| Park on Sunday morning, since which
time neither has been seen. The nurse
was engaged without references, and had
been employed by the Clarkes less thar
| a wetk. She gave her name az Carrie
Jones, and stated that she was from
| Port Deposit.
Mr.. Clarke, feeling a strange uneasines'
| about his child, started to the park about
ten minutes after the nurse and child
had left his home. Upon thriving at the
park he found the baby-carriage. Dut
the nurse and child were not in sight. lie
learned. however, that the nurse had
taken the little girl out for walk; but
though he searched far and wide. and
had several to aid him, he could not find
them.
Upon returning home he learned from
his wife that she had received note
announcing that nurse and child both
had been Kidnapped. and warning her
upon penalty Of death 70 her child neither
10 report the case 10 the newspapers nor
10 the police. A demand was inferentialIy
made for money by the person, who sign
cd himself Three"
There seems no doubt that the faith
less nurse abducted the child, and 1t Is
clear that she is no stranger in New York.
IL is odd. however, that Mr.. Clarke
should have been selected as victim. as
he is a poor man, having nothing but his
salary as a boOk-keeper.
The note received by Mrs. Clarke was
written by a man in a disguised hand and
in Roman letters. 1t is evidently the
production Of a person of education. and
from certain marks upon it, not improb-
ably one familiar with the printng-busl-
ness.
The sympathy of the public never fails to
be aroused 10y reports of chiid-stealing.
Such reports make each tender mother
hug her children TO her breast all the
closer. In the case of poor little Charlie
Ross, who was stolen from street near
his home, al Germantown, Pa, about
twenty years ago, barrels of tears were
shed by tender-hearted people who read
about the case week after week. Alas,
little Charlie never was seen by his pa
rents again, and it was years before
they were satisfied that he was dead.
But that knowledge came to them at
last; came from the lips Of dying burg
lar, who had been wounded in an attempt
at house-breaking.
Let us hope that the little Clarke child
will fare better; that she will soon be
restored to her parents, and that the
abductors will have visited upon them
the severest pains and penalties of the
law.

The other day we stated that various
battalions Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public were waging war on Commissioner
extensions Evans because, as the New
York battalion phrased it, he will NOT
administer the pension law according
to the intent of the trainers Of the law,
the Congress that passed it, and the
President who signed it,"
In commenting on this. the Lynchburg
News remarks that there may be some
truth in the allegation, and then pro-
ceeds az follows:
What was the intent OF those who
passed the law? Was 1t to reward the
reaily-deserving veterans, or was il to
build up political power, for the benefit
of ofiiceholders. and TO reward party
workers 10y quartering them on the gov
ernment? 1t may be that the Grand
Army OF the Republic interprets the mo-
tives of the lawmakers more correctly
than the Pension Commissioner"
