General Young's Column Repulses
the Rebels.

MANILA, Oct. %, 10 a. m-General
Young's column, which left San Isidro
at daylight, moving northward in the
direction of Santa Rosa, encountered
the enemy strongly entrenched just be-
yond the Tuboatin River. A brisk fight
ensued, and the rebels were repulsed
Two Americans were killed and one
wounded. Pursuit was impossible, ow-
ing to the width and depth of the
stream.
NJ. Ruperto Santiago, one of the
wealthiest Visayans, who had taken the
oath of allegiance to the United States,
and who posed as friend Of Ameri-
cans, has been arrested at Iloilo while
other Visayans are being watched. The
prisoner is charged with organizing a
revolutionary junta. Santiago owns
sugar estates throughout the island of
Negros. 1t is asserted that a council
of ten and the manager of the junta
met daily at Santiago's office for the
purpose of engineering an extensive
scheme for an insurrection. One of
Santiago's steamers was captured
carrying supplies to the rebels. His
arrest caused rumors of an outbreak of
the natives of Iloilo and precautions
have been taken to prevent trouble.

DINNER TIME.

The n. Y. Sun, besides being a. pro-
fessor of all knowledge, science and
learning, including universal erudition,
land q few other things" Is also a
master OF manners and morals. But.
with all Difference to its prodigious self
sufliciency and self-assurance, we pro-
test against its sneers at Boston after
noon, or early, dinners. The correct
dinner-timc, according 10 the Sun, Is
when most human beings are sound
asleep, after the meals and labors Of
the day: and If there be persons who
turn day into night and night into day,
SO as to transpose dinner from Its pro-
per and natural midday place, we do
not understand how they have any
right to dictate to others in the mat
ter. or criticise them as reprobates.
The industrious man, who wakes with
the day, yearns for his dinner at -
O'Clock. meridian, and must have it as
soon thereafter as Dossible,-though he
will eat it just as heartily if It be called
luncheon, SO that, in fact, 1t be a sub
stantial dinner: nor at sunset will he
refuse to eat dinner again, provided it
also supplies supper. But he will not
submit to lose his just dues of sleep
to dine late ut night.
If Boston dimes in the afternoon, that
Is TO be commended as n compromise
not without merit; and as popular
literature records but two persons who
failed to get their supper-Old Dan
Tucker. who was too late to get 1t, and
Jack, who couldn't get tive under
take to say these examples prove in
contestably that proper supper-time is
an early hour, and that therefore a late
dinner hour is as unnatural as sleeping
when ono is in good health in the day
time. If the Sun and its gourmantls
want to be dc rigneur in dining, they
should not dine until next day-the day
after the feast is prepared. Mean
while. il the Sun is so severe on those
who cat afternoon dinners, what can
1t say of the barbarsm Of those who
eat noon dinners? Yet the sum of the
matter is this, that he who cats his
bread in the sweat of his face is glad
TO get dinner at noon, and if he who
does not labor wants to dawdle at
table when he should be abed, we have
high authority for saying that If a
MAN WILL NOT WORK, NEITHER
SHALL HE EAT,-and 1t will make
small odds to him when 1t is dinner
time.

This sometimes happens through an

woNDRoUs KIND.

Is the United States to be the tender
of England's financial locomotive? That
seems to be the idea prevailing in New
York and London, if not fully settled i'm
terms formally agreed on at the court
of st. James and the kitchen cabinet of
the White House. Our gold is going
from the banks of New York to the
sank or England, at the very moment
that our Secretary of the Treasury is
advancing millions of gold in anticipa-
ton of interest (unearned and undue)
and paying out gold in the purchase of
millions Of dollars in bonds, at market
rates, and unmatured. While our gov
ernment is supplying New York with
gold, New York is supplying London.
That is a. very pretty arrangement for
New York and London; but what do
Re people of the United States think OF
it? What is the practical difference be-
tween the process actually practiced,
advancing gold-interest and paying
gold principal from the Treasury of the
United States to replenish the gold
funds Of England and her bank?
No doubt somebody in New York is
making money out of this tributary
gold that goes to the relief of England:
but where is our Treasury profited in
advancing unearned interest and pay
ing out the market price Of bonds that
represent needed money borrowed, or
they never should have been issued? 1t
Will probably not be long. under this
administration, before our Treasury, at
q pinch" In London, will be advancing
gold directly for the relief of England
and the Bank Of England.
