SAVING A FILIPINO,
Timely Rescue of the Native by =
squad of Washington Vol
unteers.

When company of Washington vol
unteers was ordered on February to
clear the village of Paco, near Manila,
of insurgents, the men uttered several
loud cries and went and did the work.
1t was not easy work or safe work. The
rebels were well armed and fought from
behind stone walls. Their most deter
mined stand was made in church,
from which, encouraged by a white
priest, they kept up hot fire upon the
Americans. At last the latter charged
across bridge to and into the church,
which they Immediately set on fire.
Such of the natives as had not been
Killed escaped by a covered passage;
at any rate, it was supposed so, after
hasty examination of the burning
church had been made. One rebel, how
ever, fingered too long for final shot
at the invaders, and what happened to
him is thus described by Capt. F. F..
Adams In letter printed by the Seattle
Post-lntelligencer: 1--WE now left the
church, as the fire was very hot, and 7
had just reformed the company when
we heard loud cries for help at the
southwest corner. Looking over that

flames. 1 sent Corporal Waters and a
squad to endeavor to pry the bars apart.
They worked manfully, but had no
means of bending the iron, and had
about concluded to shoot the fellow
when they thought of digging stone
from the wall beneath the window. Ont
came their bayonets, and how the NOR
tar did fly! l now saw that the caves
would soon fall, and sent orders for
them to withdraw, but they kept at
their work, and saw them drag the
fellow out and jump back just as the
roof and caves fell on the spot thai had
just been occupied. The names of the

SANTIAGO HAVING A HOLIDAY.

General Wood to Washington. announcing
that complete autonomy will be granted
this province. The day, therefore. Is
practically being observed as a holiday.
The city is decorated with flags and u
mass meeting has been held at which
General Wood was warmly praised. Clubs
have held meetings for the purpose of ar
ranging an ovation to General Wood and
DR.. Castillo on their return. There will
be no lack Of money to make the affair "a
success. Representatives Of Norwegian

Of the election officers ut Kittery on cleo

IL appeared that Messrs. Mitchell and

week later, and that Mr.. Horace Mitchell
discovered these three crosses which up
20 that time, had not been detected, and
yet by the admission OF the town clerk
OF Kittery could be easily seen, when pre-.
sented to him by counsel nearly three feet
away. Mr.. Seiders took the stand and
on oath said that these crosses We're not

Meesrs. Mitchell and Staples to prevent
this recount, had in vain invoked. TO Its
FULLEST extent, the law that thefr counsel
now lightly advises the Legislature to set
aside. Mr. Donnell the town clerk Of
Kittsry, confessed at the hearing great
surprise when his attention was called
to these crosses by MIR. Mitchell. Mr.
Soldiers said he made no accusation; he
simply stated facts.
The Inaccuracies and "oversi ghts'' are
too numerous to be cited In the valuable
spaces allotted us. Enough has been given
to show the animus of the men who

Of In EN-. The Secretary began to mub
the general Of the army very soon after
war was declared. Instead Of assigning
him to duties which his rank entitled
him to, he pushed him to one side
and conferred the important commands
upon subordinatss. This natural iy exas
perated Gen. Miles and led him to say
some things which were indiscrest and
prejudicisl TO discipline. He is not
entirely without fault In the mai
ter, but his fault was the outcome
OF the Sights he received at the hands
Of the Secretary. 1t is unnecessary
to pursue sll the details of the matter
here. 1t finally assumed the shape of a
contest between the Secretary Of War and
his faction and Gen. Miles ana his fac
ton. Raglan belonged TO the former, and
though he had grievance of his own
against Miles, belief on his part that he
would be doing the Secretary service
spurred him on no doubt 10 attack
Miles and made his assault more
vicious than 1t otherwise might have
been. But his zeal was without dis
erection, and the result of his TRADE
was to hurt those he wanted to helr and
help those he wanted to hurt. Alger feels
like protecting him for his good intsn-
tions, but his offence was so outrageous
and SO public that the Secretary IL placed
at u great disadvantage As long as
''embalmed beef was the issue there were
two sides to it but now that Easan has
changed 1t to the propristy Of one officer

THE EAGAN ROW.

1t seems to be the general opinion at
Washington that the court martialing of
Gen. Esgan for his attack upon Gen.
Miles cannot be avoided. Secretary
Alger. however, is opposed to 1t. The plea
which the Secretary puts out is that
Eagan has consented to modify his testi.
mony and eliminate the Objectionable
language and that the President promised
complete immunity TO officers who testi-
fled before the war commission. This is
Is feeble excuse in both of its points. The
modification of Eagan's testimony afteriit
had been published all over the land
amounts to nothing, Had the wal. commits
zion stopped him when he began his TRADE
this trouble might have been avoided, but
shey permitted him to go on with full
knowledge that his words would appear in
every newspaper in the land. The mis-
chief was done when he was permitted to
sCeak as he did, and no subsequent modifi.
cation can undo 1T in whole OF In
part. As to the second point that the
President promised officers immunity, q
sufficient reply Is that the immunity was
Of Eagan's was not testimony. 1t was an
assault with the tongue on Gen. Miles
and no more falls within the scope of the
Presidents promise than If 1t had been
an assault with the fist
1t is easy to foresee what the result Of
passing by Eagan's offence without some
action will be. The army will be dis
graced at home and abroad. Its discipline
will be destroyed. If q high officer cali

nounce his superior whenever he may feel
moved to do SO, and the army becomes
little better than mob. Something must
be done unless we are ready to destroy
the morale Of our military organization,
and bring 1t into contempt before the
world.
The real reason why Alger Is SO anxious
that 9, court martial shall be avoided, we
belieye, IL to be found in his knowledge
that some of the responsibility for Eagan's
conduct rests upon him. His administra-
tion, or INSTRUMENTATION, has
broken the army mp into factions and
