Col. John H. Stotsenburg, of the

men of the same regiment, and three
men of the Fouth cavalry were killed,
and forty -one men and three officers
were wounded in an engagement with
the rebels at Quengua, north of Man
ila, Sunday. The rebels suffered small
loss, but were finally routed and the
town taken by the Americans. Col.
Stotsenburg, whose home was in New
Albany, KY, was struck while charging
at the head of his men, and fell within
200 yards of the enemy's trenches. The
rebels we're intrenched in horseshoe
form. Capt. Bell and forty men of the
Fourth cavalry first encountered them
and were compelled to retreat, losing
one killed and five wounded. A bat
talon Of the First Nebraska joined the
troopers, but this force was also check
ed. A third advance was led by Col.
Stotsenburg, and was successful.

The War, and II may be only trick Of
Aguinaldo's to gain a little needed time
to put him in better condition to con-
tinue the war; but it is just as we'll to
wait and see whether Aguinaldo ac-
cepts the terms of peace offered by
Gen. Otis as an ultimatum-uncondi-
tional surrender and amnesty for the
Filipinos, before rejoicing. OF course
everybody, the supporters as we'll as the
opponents of the administration policy
in the Philippines, wishes to see the
fighting, of which the country has be-
come very tired, cease over there. 1t
is admitted that Aguinaldo is no fool;
in fact, his proposition itself would
prove that. If Gen. Otis had recognize
ed the Philippine congress, he would
have officially admitted the existence
of the Philippine government, and that
admission would have queered the adj
ministration policy. Perhaps that may
have been all that Aguinaldo was after.
A littlepatience and we shall know.

thought it necessary to drop that hint
to head off any democratic members

Mr.. McKinley's friends are alarmed
at reports of defections among western
republicans which have reached Wash
ington. That these reports are not
without foundation is shown by the
statement of Mr.. w. G. Newman,
lifelong republican, who is the agent
of the Cattlemen's Protective Associa-
ton of Montana, and who has been
sent east to see if something cannot be
done to revive the once prosperous
foreign cattle trade. He said: If the
administration had come out boldly
and allowed an open and honest inves-
tigation OF the meat scandals, IL would
have created the impression abroad that
this country was sincere in its efforts to
furnish the best of meat to the domes-
tic and foreign consumer. AS it is, it
will require years to overcome the pre-
iudice the administration unwise &C.
ton has caused. A great revulsion Of
feeling has taken place in the west
within the past few weeks. l recently
attended a semi. political meeting Of
ranchmen and farmers in southern
Montana, and, unless something unfor-
seen takes place, the administration g
attitude will imperil Mr.. McKinley's
