There was a hot game of baseball at
Oak Park yesterday between the c. G..

cation styling themselves the Hay

Neither side scored in the tenth or
eleventh inning, but in the twelfth the

up eight runs, winning by a score Of
10 to 2
Both pitchers did welI-H. Politz for
the winners and c. Waterman for the
Hayseeds. The catchers were, respec-
lively, H. Thielen and F. Cameron.
Politz received the best support. Two
errors were chalked up against the
winners and seven against their OPP
ponents. The game occupied two and
one-half hours, and the little fellows

NOT AFRAID OF FlLlpIAOs.
SACRAMENTO WOMAN ON THE
FIRING LINE.
May Stevens-Boysen at the Battle
of Malabon in the Philip
pine Islands.

Mrs. May Stevens BoySen of this city
who has since August last been sery-
ing as volunteer nurse in the army hos
pitfalls in and about Manila, has made
IA record of which even a veteran might
feel proud.
Since her arrival at Manila she has
been a very busy woman, and her ser
vices in the hospital and on the field
have been appreciated by both officers
and men of the line as is shown by
recent dispatch, which reads as fol-
lows:
Mrs M s. Boysen of Colorado earn
ed the congratulations of General
Wheaton on the field before Malabon
by the fearless manner in which she
went about caring for the wounded.
With the bullets flying around her, she
kept up with the firing line and served
as first aid to many a soldier in whom
an insurgent bullet had found rest
ing place. She even took q rifle and
fired a few shots at the insurgent
trenches amid the cheers of a group Of
Volunteers
'She went to Manila as volunteer
nurse to the First Reserve Hospital.
She spent the following day on the fir
ing line assisting Major Ellis. On
starting back to one of the hospitals
in the rear a soldier who was assist
sng her into car was shot.
There was not a man in the whole
army corps but would have charged
to the very gates of Malabon had it
been necessary to 81 so for her sake.
General Wheaton said to her: I con-
graduate you on your GOODNESS For
the first time in my life I have seen
a woman on the firing line"
Mrs. Stevens Boysen Is a daughter of
the late A. j. SteveHs of this city, and
her mother is at present living at the
home of Frederick Birdsall, 727 Ninth
street. Speaking to Record
Union" reporter yesterday of her
daughters journey to Uncle Sans new
possessions, Mrs. Stevens said the lat
ter undertook it primarily so as to be
near her son, who was with the Colo
rado volunteers. When she left the
United States she expected to find en-
ployment in one of the Government Of
fees. but the unsettled condition of af-
fairs at the islands was bar to that
aspiration.
Mrs. Stevens had a letter from her
daughter some time ago. in which she
gave an account of her experience as
an army nurse. She wrote that she
expected to go on the firing line at the
next battle. 1t happened to be the
battle at Malabon, and that she was
on the firing line is shown by the dis
patch above quoted.
The reason why Mrs. Stevens Boysen
is accredited in the dispatch with be-
ing from Colorado is because since her
arrival at Manila much of her work
has been with the Colorado regiment,
and all of it with General Wheaton's
brigade

UNCLE SANS TERMS.
FORM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE
OWEN THE FILIPlNOS.
Governor General and Judges to be APP
pointed BY the President While
the Cabinet VIII be Selected
by the GoEsrnor General

Manila, May 24.-Professor Schur'
man, head OF the United States Philip
pine commission, has submitted the
following written propositions to the
Filipinos:
"While the final decision as to the
form of government is in the hands OF
the congress, the president under his
military powers, pending the action OF
congress stands ready to offer the fol-
lowing form of government:
"a governor general to be appointed
by the president: cabinet to be ap-
pointed by the governor general; all
the judges to be appointed by the presi-
dent; the heads of departments and
judges to be either Americans or Fiji
pinos, or both. and also a general ad-
visory council, its members to be
chosen by the people by form OF suf-
frage to be hereafter carefully deter
mined upon.
"The president earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease and that the people of
the Philippines, at an early date, en-
JOY the largest measure of self-govern-
ment compatible with peace and
order"
The United States commission pre-
pared the scheme and the president
cabled his approval of the form of the
document. The Filipinos have made
no definite proposition except for the
cessation of hostilities until they can
present the question of peace to the
people. Professor Schurman told the
Filipinos they had no means of gath
ering the people together, as the Ameri'
cans control most of the ports. He
also reminded them that liberal form
of government was offered them, ant
pointed out that it was better than the
conditions existing under the Spanish
rule
Gozaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing coulc
be worse than Spanish rule and ad
mitted that the form of government
proposed was liberal.
The civil members of the Filipino
commission have decided to cooperate
with the other members of that com
mission, as the former considered
Aguinaldos latest demand to be pre-
posterous, after General Otis refusa
of an armistice, referring to his wisl
for time in order to consult the Fill
Pine congress.

PEACE TALK is CHEAP
FILIPINos FIRE UPON AMERICAN
SCOUTS FROM AMBUSH.

Rout Eight Hundred Rsbels-Twsnty
Americans are Wounded

Washington, May 26.-The Filipinos
appear to be talking peace, and at the
same time are looking for fight, as
will appear from the following dis
patch from Manila, under date of May
"a.
Generals Macarthur and Funston,
with the Kansas and Montana regi-
ments, and the Utah battery, have
dispersed 500 insurgents who were en-
trenehed on the railroad beyond San
Fernando, near San Arita.
The American scouts we're fired upon
from the trenches unexpectedly and
withdrew. The firing was heard at
San Fernando, and General Macarthur
assembled his troops and marched
quickly after the scouts. The Mon
tana regiment fianked the trenches on
the left and the Kansas regiment at
tackled the enemy's right flank, Gener-
al Funston leading the charge at the
double quick.
The insurgent loss was large, many
prisoners were captured, and it is re-
ported that twenty Americans were
wounded

No Definite Action Taken Regarding

st. Louis, May 27.-When the con-
ference of members of the Democratic
national committee adjourned it had
taken no action regarding the policy
OF the party in the coming presiden-
tial campaign, and no plans for the
platform were even discussed. The
meeting, from first to last, was one of
discussion regarding methods of work
of next year and the ways and means
by which this work could best be ac-
complshed. All members were urged
TO see that the organization of the
party in their respective states is pc
fected as soon as possible, and !
preparations made for the fight.
The matters of "anti-trusts, 'anti-
Imperialism" and silver were no.
touched upon. No action was taken
regarding them, and no recommends
tons were made. The next meeting o
the conference will probably be hell
in Chicago on July 20, and Chairman
Jones of the national committee h.
been asked to call formal meeting ~
that date. 1t is expected that at tt Is

MORE MEN NEEDED.
ARMY INSUFFICIENT TO MAIN
TAIN SUPREMACY.
General Otis' Forces Compelled TO Abandon
Captured Territory because Troops
Cannot be Spared to Hold
What IL Gained.

Manila, May 2s.-The events of the
past week have emphasized the need
of much larger army here, without
which, according to the best authori-
ties in Manila. il would be attempting
the impossible to expect to maintain
supremacy in the Philippine islands.
The inadequacy OF the American forces
is said to be responsible for the large
loss in the number of small encounters
without material results as compen-
sation Most of the fighting has been
swept, but had been compelled to
abandon because they could not spare
troops TO hold it.
The forces commanded by Generals
Macarthur and Lawton hold two inn
portant lines of communication and
commerce, the railroad to San Fernau-
do and the Rio Grande river. But
much of the country they have swept,
including scores of the smaller towns,
and some of the larger ones, have been
left uncovered, simply for want OF men
to hold them, and the insurgents have
returned and are occupying the towns
the Americans abandoned and are
camping in the jungles and woods out
side of others. on the watch for chances
to attack scouting parties and harass
the garrisons with greater forces.
This is the kind of warfare they pre-
fer to pursue.

Richmond, Va, May 96,-Iu auswor
10 the overture about ministers marry
ing runaway couples, the Prssbyte-
rian general assembly today made the
following deliverance:
1.-THE assembly is of the opinion that
it would be both unwise and inexpedi-
ent to attempt to lay down an intiexi-
BILE rule for the guidance of its ministry
in relation to the performance of this
ceremony-the great bond of society.
The greatest prudence and caution
should be exercised by the ministers;
they should exert their influence as
far as they can properly and prudently
do SO to prevent such marriages, and
only consent to perform the ceremony
in those instances where he is satisfied
from all the circumstances that the
best interest of both parties will be
subserved by his so doing"
