her over five years ago by an old gypsy

and asked for aims, but was told by
Mrs. Bachand that if she was hungry
she might eat.
The gypsy was like all her race, a
fortune teller, and when she had eaten
she took hold Of Mrs Bachand's hand
and said she saw among other things
a plain picture of large fortune that
would come to her in about SIX years,
and she would live to enjoy il for many

an Engagement Yesterday.

the Filipino soldiers are weakening.
The generous treatment that the Am
orleans administer to the native pris-
oners and wounded. seems to influence
the insurgent army powerfully.
In the opinion Of Americans, how
ever, the Filipino leaders will continue
to provoke fighting just as long as they
can retain their hold upon their fol-
lowers, because they have everything
to gain and nothing to lose. The enc
my have twice as many men on their
firing lines as they have arms, and the
fact that so few arms are captured by
the Americans is because the guns of
the wounded Filipinos and of many
who surrender, are spirited away.
At 2.55 this afternoon the armed tugs
Laduna de Bay and Oeste returned
from San Pedro Macati, and reported
the results of their tour of the lake On
Friday morning last they shelled the
town of Morong, the rebels fleeing
without making any response to the
fire.
The Americans landed party, which
destroyed a quantity of stores and all
the stone buildings, except the church.
The expedition then proceeded to Ma
jayjay, where a sugar mill and saw
mill were destroyed.
On arriving at Santa Cruz, town of
1900 inhabitants, it was found that the
enemy was strongly entrenched and
prepared to defend the position, assist
ed by, two gunboats and several
launches.
Moreover, the mouth of the river was
blocked with rocks and bamboo. A
few shells caused an exodus of the cit
liens, but not of the enemy's troops
The Americans did not attempt a
landing.
Capt. Grant, who is in charge of the
expedition, asks for reinforcements,
and will probably take Santa Cruz to-
morrow.

Manila, March 49, $50 p. nl.-Some of
the rebels recently expelled from Cavite
and the small towns in the vicinity of
Pdsig, combined forces and last night,
as already oAbled, alta 2ked a company
of the Washington volunteers, a de-
tached post at Taguig, about mile and
half southeast of Pasig.
Gen. Wheaton Immediately reinforced
the Americans with two companies each
of the Washington and the Oregon regi-
ments. The post had held the enemy in
check, and the fire of the reinforcing
companies repulsed them, driving them
across to an island formed in the
estuary,
They were thus in front OF the
Twenty-seccnd regulars. On discover
ing that they were entrapped the reb-
els fought desperately, aided materially
by the jungle and the darkness; but
they were completely routed, with
heavy loss, after two hours fighting.
The Americans lost two killed and 20
wounded, among the latter Lieut..
Frank Jones.
Gen. Wheaton determined to push the
natives, and at daybreak, today, his
brigade started in the following order:
The Sixth artillery holding the ex-
IRENE right; the Oregon volunteers
holding the center; the Washington
regiment keeping to the edge of the
lake, and the Twenty second regulars
on the right of the line, which swept
the whole country along the lake, in a
southeasterly direction, toward Gen.
Ovenshines position.
The line thus extended over two miles
of country, rough and covered with
thick jungle, advanced II miles.
The enemy fed, the last of them being
seen about half-Dast three this after
noon. At scarcely any time did the
Americans get within 1900 yards of
them.
The troops are returning to Pasig to-
night, exhausted by the hard work I'M
der hot sun. The Oregon regiment had
one man killed and four wounded, and
the Twenty second regulars one wound

fewer than 200 Filipinos were killed
Gen. Otis says the American army
and gunboats now command the lake.
He estimates that property of the in
surgents valued at 100000, has been
destroyed while quantities of rice and
sugar, and four hundred tons of coal,
which is very valuable here, have been
captured.

IN A BLUE BLAZE.
spy's Telegraph Man Thinks He Is Sub

Fred L. Wheaton, the Associated
Press operator at The Spy office, had
narrow escape from being electrocuted
about 1.30 o'clock this morning, at least
some Of his associates tried to make him
think so. About this time an electric
light or some other heavy current wire
became crossed with the wire he was
working, and in less time than it takes
to write it, the operators Instruments
were enveloped in blaze Of blue fame.

long, however, to let a little thing like
that phase him. and, remarhng that
his loop was gone, he shouldered his
typewriter and started for the Postal
Office as unconcernedly as though start

TELEGRAPH LINES.
switch Board in the Postal Office Burned
Out.


The telegraph companies suffered to
some extent, although not as severely
as some of the others who have over
head wires running in and about Wor-
cester. Inquiry at the Western Union
office developed the fact that the Bos-
ton and New York wires were working,
although some of the lines connecting
suburban stations were out of order.
Linemen in the employ Of this COM
pany were at work all night, and many
Of the lines were patched up soon after
midnight.
At the Postal Telegraph office the
same condition of affairs existed, the
principal trouble being between Boston
and Worcester, where some heavy cur
rent wire was crossed with the Asso-
ciated Press line, causing some delay
and a brilliant display of pyrotechnics.
The switch board In the local office
took fire. and for few minutes the ex
element was intense.
The Spy's telegraph loop line was put
out of business by the accident, making
it necessary for the operator to move to
the Postal Office, where the remainder
of the nights report was taken.

ELEPHANT ELM"
Famous Tree on the Common Suffers
From Load of Ice.

Shade trees on the common suffered
badly in the storm. The smaller ones
are bent almost to the ground with
their loads of ice, and in many cases
the larger limbs are snapped off, while
the ground is covered with small tWigs
and branches.
The big. elephant elm at the upper
end of the Front street side of the

largest branches, about Is inches thick,
split off from the trunk soon after the
wind came up in the evening, and fell
directly across the sidewalk on to the
common. Fortunately no one was
struck by the falling limb, which
weighs many hundred pounds. A Ian
tern was hung from the trunk as a
warning to pedestrians, and the limb
left lying where it fell.

Edwin NJ. East. formerly of Salt Lake.
vino met with an accident while perform
ing as an acrobat in Chicago. has COM
nonccd an action 10 recover $500 dam
ages. In regard TO it the Chicago Record
has the following:
when he lost mis- teeth his grip on his
profession was broken also. Consolidation
can come only through the collection of
$1,000 damages from his former employ
ers. This, Edwin NJ. East says. is the
story OF his spoiled face and blighted
hopes.
East set forth that he was hurt Sept. >.
1898. while doing the 7O0-foot slide at the
water chuteS. Besides being forced to
part with his teeth his lower jaw was
broken and a few slashes were made in
his lip and chin.
His troubles and his demand for COM
pensation will be told in the circuit court
this morning.

Then East goes on to relate how. when

breaking his jaw and cutting his lower
lip and hin. He speaks of being taken
TO the Cook county hospital and consid-
cred dead for three days. He recovered
and was. discharged Sept. 26.
The false teeth he claims will interfere
with his going on in the sliding profess
sion. So he places his future handicap at
the $1,000 mark.
