Manila, April 20, $40 y m.--Aguinaldo's
army is today defending Calumpit oner-
getlcslly which is said TO indicate hat the
natives are finally making that place their
last ditch, or stand. which the Americans
expected them to make at Malolos.
For the first time the Filipinos are en-
ploying artillery. They brought two guns
into action in the trenches today before
calumpit, firing modern shrapnol, which
burs, over the heads OF General Wheaton S
men without effect.
The lighting was resumed At G O'Clock
this morning During the night the Amer
lean engineers repaired tho Bagbag bridge,
thus enabling our troops to crogs the
river.
General Wheaton's brigade advanced In
extended order. with the Kansas regiment
to the east OF it and took up a position
covering one and half miles on the
south bank of the Rio Grande On the OPP
poslte bank were fortified trenches, from
which few American soldiers would have
been able to defy Thousands so Atrongly
were they constructed The Americans
fJund the trenches on the south bank OF
the river deserted, which furnished them
with cover from which they could pick OF
Fllipinos whenever one q them showed
his head When the natives began hTing
two puns OF smoke, simultaneously from
he trenches on each side Of the railroad
track showed they were using cannon,
which WAS a genuine surprise TO the
Americans. Several shells burst close TO
General Wheaton's staff but IL seemed
that the Filpinos failed TO master tho
machinery OF modern shells as they were
unable to gather the right range. Young's
Utah battery WAS ordered into position
in the center OF the Kansas regiment 20
silence the enemys guns. and at u O'Clock
the rapid fire guns had been ferried across
tho river and came into line
Al noon the natives were still pouring n
heavy fire IN he direction Of the Amerl-
cans. who returned It splritedly. Two
Americans were killed and seven were
wounded
About this time General Hale's brigade
was advancing east Of the line apparent
ly to cross the RIVER and attack The Fill
Pine trenches in the flank, as the Ameri
cans did yesterday
General Wheaton has secured an order
issued by Aguinaldo to the native com
manders, telling them 10 instruct their
men 10 economic their FIRE, save empty
shells and not to fire at the enemy when
the latter Is under cover
The Filipinos are also Instructed never
TO fire at longer range than 100 meters
and when they have a river or other OBJ
structions in front 10 hold their fire until
within eighty meters
This order was issued after the recent
encounters between the Fllipinos and the
Americans.
General Lawton Is meeting with great
obstacles IN the character OF country.
His troops have only had few sltirmishea
thus far, resulting in five Of his men
being wounded But he has been forced

the transport service Is giving much
trouble bullooks dying from the heat and

WILL SUE BISHOP.
Latest Phase Of the Missing
Deposit in the Hud-
son County Bank.

Mr.. C. M. Horton, Of Bogota, and form
erly receiving teller of the Hudson County
National Bank, of this city has instruct-
ed his counsel, Mr.. William H. Speer,
Jr., to bring a suit against David A.
Bishop, of Grand street. for $4,000 dam
ages, on account of alleged slander and
negligence.
The suit is the outcome of matter
which occurred in the bank when Mr..
Horton was connected with that institu-
ton.
In the latter part of November, 1885, Mr..
found what he considered serious dis
crepancy. An entry of $500 which he
thought he had deposited in the bank, was
missing He called ON Cashier J. Warren
Hardenbergh and told him that $500 which
he had deposited in the bank few days
before was unaccounted for.
Mr.. Hardenbergh summoned Receiving
Teller Horton and Assistant Receiving
strenuously declared that they had seen
nothing OF Mr. Bishop's $500;
IT remember seeing Mr.. Bishop, sag aid
Mr.. Horton, but am sure that ne did
not give me any $500.
Mr.. Farrier was equally positive that
Mr.. Bishop had not deposited the $500.
The depositor, however, is a man of ex-
cellent reputation and his veracity has
never been questioned. The bank officials
accepted Mr.. Bishops word and con-
cluded that the five hundred dollars had
become lost in some way after passing
over the banks counter. Messrs. Horton
and Farrier were told that they would
have to account for the $500. The two
gentlemen felt their position keenly and
labored hard to clear themselves, but
it seemed as though they could not con-
vince their superiors that the money had
not been turned in.
In the course of few weeks the two
tellers handed in their designations and
they were accepted. The bank credited
Bishop with the $500.
On January 81 last Mr.. Bishop reported
to the bank officials that he had found
the $500 which he supposed he had de-
posted in the bank. He found the sum
tucked away in remote corner of his
safe. He remembered now that he had
not deposited the money after all, and
that he had put it in his safe when he
thought he had put it in the bank.
AS soon as the revelation was made the
Hudson City National Bank hasten
ed to vindicate Mr.. Horton and Mr.. Far
-rier. Mr.. Farrier was at once reinstated
and given a good position in the bank
that he has served SO well. He is the
son of the late Fire Chief Henry E. Far
rier. Mr.. Horton, who is also fully ex-
onerated. is doing well in his coal busi-
ness at Bogota.

GEORGES BIRTHDAY BEER.
The Key Burst and Much Damage
Was Done.

Mrs Jennie Monahan, of No. 2S4 Mercer
street, asked Justice Potts this morning
for redress She told curious story.
Yesterday was the seventh birthday Of
her George and her husband gave her
$3.50 to buy the boy present
AS the lad was we'll supplied with play
things, Mrs. Monahan thought it would
be a good thing to buy George a keg of
beer and invite some of his friends and
neighbors in to help him drink it up.
The keg was purchased from Patrick
Baxter, who keeps a saloon at Colgate
and York streets. The neighbors were
invited. Mrs. Monahan also stipulated
with Baxter that he should send with
ii competent man to tap the keg.
The guests were all assembled and ex-
pectant when the man proceeded to pro-
d,1ee the beer Suddenly there was a
loud loud explosion and it began. to rain beer
on the elaborate toilets of the guests
The walls and ceilings of the room were
defaced and such damage done generally
as only a bursted keg of beer can do.
Mrs Monahan wanted pay for her silk
gown. which, she said, the beer ruined,
and the return of her money, as the ex-
nlosion was caused by Baxter's man.
Baxter disclaimed any responsibility for
the keg after it was delivered. The JUS
tice summoned Baxter and he will be in
court tomorrow. Georgie has not yet
gotten his birthday present.
