AMERICAN
LOSS TEN
1t is Believe the Filipinos
Had Many Men Killed--
General Grant on
the Firing Line.

Manila, Oct. 3-The insur-
gents cut the telegraph line be-
tween Bacoor and Manlia last
night. They made an attack
upon Bacoor at half.past s
o'clock yesterday morning, aud
the fight lasted until dark. Gen.
eral Grant conducted the oper-
atoms of the American forces
in person on the firing line.
The Filipinos fl st cut the
telegraph wires running from
Bacoor to linus and amhushed
the American patro', consisting
of eight men. A signal SER
geant was killed and two other
Americans were wounded.
The little band was reinforc.
ed by a company of the Four.
zenith Infantry and three COM
panies of the Fourth, which
were hurriedly sent out from
linus and fought their way
through along the road to the
relief.
The rebels we're fighting at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon
from across a deep river fifty
yards wide. Eight men in all
OF the American troops had
been wounded up to that and
two had been killed. An ad.
vance will be made to-day on
the insurgents.
General Alejandrino, the
head OF the Filipino military
commission, now comforting
with General Otis, said before
returning to Angles. ,
Our government is willing to
accept protectorate under
the United States. We fought
Sp. in because we did not wish
longer to be a colony. A COL
onial government under Ameri.
can rule would be worse than
the Spanish, because you know
nothing about the way to gov
ern, colonies. We do not want
to be experimental on for a
century while you learn how.

We jes' passed the word around that the
city council was gon to be held an made
it an open game. Everybody was there

of sittin in poker game with private
stock of blue chips which he had bought

city council in good shape Only officers

in the proceedin's. an nobody was barred
from the debate. The first business we
took up was the case of Nevada Bill. We
reckoned that it wouldn't be no more
than decent local pride to prevent the
importation of any poker chips except by
the duly recognized authorities fur said
importation. RattlcSnake Pete said the
only way to make the law binln'was to
pervide that anybody breakin it should
be shot ut least once. The tcndcrfoot got

man who has the gift of genuine elo-

Gulch hasn't got through talkin about it
yet. Three Finger Sam drawed himself
up TO his full height an p'intcd his finger
at the tcnderfoot. 4 don't desire to use
no harsher words than is necessary says
he, but Id like to know what You mean,

whether man needs shootin or not.
Have we got to wait for some lantern
