Orator Beaten by q Boy.

Daniel O'Connell. the famous orator,
when taking a ride in the neighbor-
hood of his house, had occasion to ask
an archin to open gate for him. The
little fellow complied with much alac-
rity, and looked up with such an hon
est pleasure at rendering the slight
service that O'Connell, by way of say
ing something-anything-asked:
whats your name, my boy"
"Daniel O'Connell, sir, replied he,
stoutly. ;,
"And who's your father?" demanded
the astonished Liberator.
"Daniel O'Connell, SIR"
O'Connell muttered a word or two
below his breath, and then added
aloud:
"When I see you again I'll give you
sixpence."
Riding briskly on he soon forgot
the incident, and fell to thinking Of
eraver matters, when, after travelling
some miles, he found his path OBJ
structed by some fallen timber, which
q boy was stoutly endeavoring to re-
move. On looking more closely he
discovered it to be the same boy he
had met in the morning.
What" cried he; chow do you
come to be hare now?"
"You said, sir, the next time you
seen me you'd give me si1pence," said

ton from his brow.-London Weekly

slipped through week earlier and
attempted to assassinate American
soldiers. The Nebraska sentry again
called upon the two natives to halt,
and, as they paid no attention to his
order, levelled his rife and fred upon
them. The sequel shows that they
had been sent for precisely this pur-
pose, to draw the sentry's fire, as
part of preconcerted plan to place
the responsibility for beginning the
action upon our troops, and to make
America appear the aggressor.
Twenty thousand Filipiuos in their
trenches, block. houses. and little vii
lages dotting the plain evidently
thought themselves ready to drive the

They possessed several quick firing

were armed with Mausers of the latest
pattern. and number OF Spanish SOL
diers had Joined their ranks.
About thirteen thousand of our
troops were holding the positions
formerly occupied by the Spaniards,
midway between Manila and the bands
of Filipinos north, east and south OF
the city. A semicircular fighting
line, seventeen miles in length, was
formed of the following regiments, be-
ginning with those stationed on Ma
nila Bay north of the capital: the

Disease in the Philippines.

Sprue, that peculiar tropical dis
ease which seems to attack the lining
of ones interior and to render it so
sensitive that food cannot be retained
by one suffering from the malady, IS
not uncommon in Manila. Philippine

foreigners whose stomachs are pecu-
liarly susceptible to change Of fare.
Ard let him who finds he Las sprue
get out of the country justos quick as
he can, for nothing but q change OF
climate will effect q cure, and if the
trouble is not attended to OF the out
set the victim will frequently get so
weak that he will be unable to get
away at all. Some may have sprue,
leave the islands for japan or the
Pacific Coast, and recover from it to
come back to Manila. but Others are
not able to shake it of even by re-
turning home.
Sunstrobe is apparently uncommon

wearing hats that do not shelter this

question of sunstroke, it is an admit
ted fact that overexposure to the sun
is the direct cause of much of the
Manila fever.
As wet season seems, peculiarly
enough, to be the healthiest time OF
the year, so the hot, dry spring
months, coming in the lull between
the monsoons, are the most unh ealthy.
Smallpox IS particularly active from

plowing of the soggy rice fields that
comes before the beginning Of the
rainy season, seems to let loose an

they have learned from the Spaniards,
who waste a tremendous amount OF
ammunition in volleys at long range
and run when the enemy presses
them. The chief credit for our vic
tories must go to General Elwell s.
Otis, whose disposition of troops at
every point where they were likely to
come in contact with the enemy has
shown him to possess military talents
of high order. Besides feeling and
engaging the enemy in the environs
of Manila, he has had to police dis
affected city; in other words, to deal
with an internal as well as an external
foe. Vigilance has insured success.
There never has been time, either
Ey night or day, when General Otis
has not been master of the situation.
May l, 1898, August 13, 1898, Feb
ruary S, l899-these are the dates of
the three battles of Manila. The first
victory was unattended with any loss
to our side; the second cost about
fifty men, killed or wounded; in the
third the list of our casualties was
five times as great as in the second.

natives on these three occasions land

Firing began at quarter before

February 4. Two native soldiers re-

who challenged them, as they ad-
vanced toward the outpost of the First
Nebraska Regiment, stationed be-
tween Manila and Santa Mesa. The

toward the Pasig River, in which
many were drowned. The Nebraskans
captured a howitzer and carried a
good position near the water works,
about five miles east of the city. On
the southeast the Filipinos made a
stand in the Paco church, until the
building was shelled by Captain
Dyer's battery, Sixth Artillery, and
set on fire by California volunteers;
then, of those who had not been killed
in the church, some were shot as they
ran out and others were captured.
At noon on Sunday the firing of the
Filipinos slackened. "Our casual
ties," Major General Otis says, in his
,seport, probably aggregate 250."
The Filipino loss is estimated at 1000.
Wounded Filipinos found in the
trenches were taken to the American
field hospitals and cared for, while a
great number of captives were placed
in the military prison at Manila.
During the fight there was intense
excitement in the city, where order
was maintained by Minnesota yolun-
teers, serving as police.
The bombardment made Manilan
holiday for thousands, who hocked to
view it as a curious spectacle from the
water front; other citizens, hugging
their security at home, hung out white
flags, or neutral flags, as an additional
precaution, until the city looked as
though it had made ready for some
dilatory procession, but from the win
dows OF these very houses the Ameri-
can patrols were fred upon. Women
of the foreign colony were sent to
the transports for safety, while, as
though to replace these, hundreds of
women refugees began to arrive from
the destroyed villages, seven or eight
OF which, plainly visible from the Ma
Mia Observatory, were burnt and bat
tered down, lest they should serve
again to shelter the treacherous en-
emy.
On Monday morning, February G.,
there was light firing at long range.
Late in the afternoon General Hale's
brigade won position the control of
which had hecome indispensable; it
