JUNIA CLAIMS VICTORY
Story Of How PilipinOS Defeated Gen.
LaWt0n.
Talk About an Entire Force Being Captured
Rifles and Ammunition also
Claimed.

London, April 19.-The Fill
Pine European Junta claims to
have received cablegram from
General Luna, Commanding the
Manila district" direct from
Manila, on Friday, declaring that
General Lswton, "whose object
was to proceed to Baler and effect
a junction with the Yorktown"
was inveigled by the Filipino
tactics into "perilously extending
his line with (the result that the
column, consisting of lao officers
and men, on reaching a place
called Binangonam, was
ambushed by large Filipino
force, communication with the
main force was severed and the
entire force was captured"
The Filipino advices further as
sert that General Lawton, who
was at Laguna de Bay on hearing
the news "retired to Manila,
stating that he had been recalled
by Major General Otis on the
ground that a native rising 10
Manila was imminent"
The foregoing is said to be
affair from the disap.
pearanace Of the boats crew Of
the Yorktown 10 ID lie vicinity Of
Baler.
The Filipinos also claim that
they have occupied the town of
Zssboarga in the southern part of
the island of Mindanao, which
was recently evacuated by the
Spapiards, only few of the latter
remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans. The Filipinos
are also said to have captured
seven thousand Mauser rifles, all
the ammunition and several
Spanish gunboats which the
rebels say they have navigated up
the Rio Grande and out of reach
of the Americans.
Washington, April l9.--The
War Department does not credit
the Filipinos assertions contained
in the dispatch because it is be.
lieved Gen. Otis would have
cabled any such disaster. 1t is
further stated that Lawton could
not possibly have had in mind a
junction with the Yorktown, as
there lie an impossible range of
mountains between the points he
traversed and the sea.

There's nothing small about
President Harper of Chicago Uni
versity. He says his university
needs nine millions for improve
ments, but can wiggle along on a
million dollars. Harper's request
takes the breath away from the
old line educators who have be-
come accustomed to thankfully re-
ceiving a few thousands and con-
sideriDg themselves lucky at that.
Chicago's university president is
giving the people an example OF
the value of good business admin
istration in the educational insti.
tutions. When millionaires are
becoming 60 common there's no
reason why the colleges and uni
versities should not take the mil
lion dollar mark as a working
basis.

Governor Roosevelt has way
Of making the Mugwumps squirm
in their boots and causing them to
wonder whether, after all, Teddy
is one of the elect. In his Chica-
go speech Roosevelt said:
"From the standpoint of inter-
national honor, the argument is
even stronger. The guns that
Numbered off Manila and Santa
60 left US echoes of glory, but
they also left us legacy of duty
If we drove out a medieval tyran
ny only to make room for savage
anarchy, we had better not have
begun the task at all. 1t is worse
than idle to Say that we have no
duty to perform and can leave to
their fates the islands we have
conquered. Such a course would
be the course of infamy. 1t would
be followed at once by utter chaos
in the wretched islands them
selves. Some stronger, man!ieI
power would have TO step in and
do the work; aud we would have
shown ourselves weaklings, unable
to carry to successful completion
the labors that great and high,
spirited nations are eager to un.
dertake."
What satisfaction the goo GOO
statesmen can get out Of Roose

American people they are welcome

'Then I went right back with some
men on the trail and got into one Of
the Sherman's little boats and went out
to see my brother.
Brother Harry was too sick to sit
up and looked like a ghost. He couldn't
say word when he saw mel just
went up and put my arms around his
neck and neither one of US said any
thing for a long while. He looked
awfully bad-and 1 took my little
dough that 1 had saved and bought
nice things for him to eat and he
wouldn't taste q thing for a long time
until 1 said to him: "Ain't you ashamed
Of yourself! Now you eat these dainties

way to nurse you and now you won't

his life. 1 don't know about that, but
I'm glad l went and I'd do it over
again. Only 1 don't like to see people
killed"
And this is the story that the stow
away tells; the young hero of the west
who went to the battlefield all for the
love Of brother.

heroism. Arthur Pohlmarn ran
away from home to go to the
= wars.
He travelled Il, 900 miles in or
der to find and nurse back to health his
sick soldier brother.
1t is tale Of brotherly love that
widened with the seas, and continents
could not lessen 1t.
When Sergeant POhlmann lay Ill
with the fever on the island Of Ne
gros he cried out in his delirium: Ar

The nurse heard the name through
out the long hours of her tired watch,
and, gently touching the feverish hand,
whispered: Poor boy"
From the island OF Negros to the
city by the west sea is a far summons.
But the ears of love are never sleep
ing. and so one night little Arthur
PohImann had a dream that was not
all a dream.
He saw in his vision the wasted form
Of his best loved brother, and in dream

would worry her, he thought, for moth

home with baby brother. And so ev-
erv morning thereafter, when leaving
for school, he would say;
"Good-by, mamma; I'm of to Ma
Mia to-day"
He said that every morning for weeks
and weeks. and waited patiently for
his chance.
Complaint followed complaint from
the teacher at school. Arthur was

he marched me up to the commanding
officer and he asked me all sorts of
questions: if 1 had a father and
mother and what I meant by slowing
away, and if l wasn't sorry that left
home, and when l said no, he said: III
put you off at Honolulu 1 was afraid
OF that, so l made all the money 1
could on the way over. l helped in the
saloon, BACKED boots and chored after
the officers messenger when he wasn't
IN sight, and made myself handy in
general-and wasn't sassy-and, by the
time we reached Honolulu 1 had enough
saved to buy me some clothes.
I was lucky and got aboard all right
at Honolulu. I climbed in one of the
square portfolios and got under the
bunk again until we got outside of
land.
When we got to Manila I had SO
saved up and there I found my brother
was away off on the island and there
were no boats and no one knew whether
he was sick or not and so I went with
the soldiers to the Walled City Then

ed to have something on his mind, and
when sent up TO the principal he would
walk home instead. And so on the
morning Of May % he left home saying:
"Good-by, mamma; this is the last
kiss. I'm off to Manila to find brother
Harry"
But he had said that just thirty times
before. Yet, strange to say, on that
morning of mornings it had a new
meaning, and she cried out: Arthur.
my boy, do you want to drive your
mother crazy?"
Then. as fast as his little feet could
carry him, he started for the water
front, turning and throwing kisses at
the mother as he hurried along. And
the last words she heard were: Take
care of yourself, mamma; III take
good care of Harry"
He had not a cent in his pocket, but
he was rich in determination, for upon
every transport he scrambled, only TO
be ferreted out of his hiding place by
policemen or Red Cross soldiery. But
such fine young courage is sure to win,
and four weeks later he passed through
the Golden Gate bound for Manila
And his going saved his brothers life.
He went as StowaUay on the trans
port Grant.
For three days and nights he had
nothing TO eat, and he made this sac
rifice for his brother.
Is there a greater love than this?
