New York city, and Harry 7. Cushman, of
Bennington, had bought the property over

posted with w. w. Goodwin at the bank,
which could be taken by either of the gen,
tlemen on payment of price within 30 days

ther party rendered the money nor asked for
the deed. But DR.. Smith is interesed
with Mr.. Darling in the purchase of the
Eureka niue, one-half interest in the
property having been decided to him. The
purchasers will begin work on the property
as soon as a few matters to be attended to
are settled. 1t is intmated that they are

Reports have been received at Manila of
an outbreak in the Island of Negros in
cident upon the departure of the Califor-
MIA regiment for home. Some hostile ma
tives, seeing company of soldiers at one
of the small posts preparing to depart
thought the Americans were evacuating
the island, and party of $50 rebels, most
Nv bolomen, attacked the troops and killed
one man and wounded another belonging
to E Company The Filipinos were easily
driven off The transport Sherman will
bring the California troops to Manila before
starting for San Francisco. The transport
Grant will soon embark the Colorado regi-
ment -
The Filipinos made a demonstration at
San Fernando Friday evening. They took
advantage of the darkness and rain to
make sally against the north line, seeming
ly for the purpose of annoying the Ameri-
cans as they failed to push their attack.
The American loss was private of the 18th
regiment killed and four men wounded.
The firing began at 10, and the natives ex-
pended quantities of ammunition. All the
troops FASTENED to the trenches, in expec-
tation of general attack. The 18th regi-
ment, the 18th regiment and the Iowa regi-
ment participate in the engagement, but

ter an hour the Filipinos fired rockets, APP
parently as a signal to cease firing, but
there were scattering'shot all night long,
which kept the Americans under arms,
The enemy's loss was not discoverable, but
was probably small. The Americans were
guided in their shooting only by the flashes
of the rifles,
Gen. Macarthur reports that natives on
his front are very active He expects to
be attacked in force in the near future.
Macarthur is confident that he can repel
any and all attacks. The Filipinos are
continually cutting wires in an attempt to
isolate the American troops in the North.

No Cali for Volunteers.

1t was stated positively at the war de-
partment at Washington Monday that no
call had been issued for $4,000 additional
volunteers and there was no immediate
prospect of such action. The statement is
made, however, that there are now practi-
cally IS, 900 men at Gen. Otis's command
and whenever he wants the troops neces-
sary to bring the command in the Philip
pines up to this figure they can be shipped
as fast as transports can take them away,
Recruiting the regular army has brought
that establishment up to within 200 of its
maximum strength. The force at Otis's
disposal when the new troops now in this
country reach him in the beginning of the
fall campaign may be summarized as fol-
lows: Seventeen regiments of regular in
fantry, %, $40 men; three new volunteer
regiments, 4134; four batteries Third ar
tillery, 4S9; ten batteries Sixth, 1880; the
Fourth cavalry, 1880; an engineer battal-
ion, 200; signal corps, $50, total, 1928
