SCENE WAS SPECTACULAR.
The Landing of Gen. wheaton's Forces
at Dagupan.


MANILA, Nov. 1.-The landing of
the American troops at Fabian Tues
day was the most spectacular affair of
its kind since General Skaters disem-
barkation at Daiquiri. The co-opera-
ton of the troops and the navy was
complete. The gunboats maintained
a terrific bombardment for an hour,
while the troops pushed waist deep
through the surf, under heavy, but
badly aimed rifle fire from the insur-
gent trenches and charged right and
left, pouring volley after volley at the
fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos were
captured, mostly non-commissioned
officers. Several insurgents dead and
five wounded We're found in building
which had suffered considerably from
the bombardment. The town was we'll
fortified. The sand dunes were rivet-
ed with bamboo twenty feet thick,
which afforded a fine cover.

n
Committed In Germany.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Nov. 9.-Albert
Krakowslla, a Polander about 81 years
of age, who came to Marion a little
over month ago, having fed from his
home in Germany to escape prosecution
for a violation of the meat laws of that
country, committed suicide in the
Frelsinger hotel at Marion. He thought
the officers were watching him, and
this fear, coupled with inconsistencies
from the fact he had not been able to
hear from his wife and six children in
Germany, caused him to take the rash
step. He had taken a strap from his
valise and, placing it around his neck,
tied it to the hinge of the. door to his
room, and pulling his feet off the floor,
strangled to death, being dead when
found by his cousin. He was employed
around the Milwaukee coal house in
Marion. He left letter to his wife,
telling her what to do with their prop
erty, and stating that he thought he
was doing the best.

bana.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Nov. ia fendish
crime was committed at Urbana, Ben
ton county. About 3 o'clock an ex-
plosion in the Monitor Office wrecked
the plant of that paper and destroyed
the building. The noise aroused the
town. Clarence Burrell, young man,
rushed from the house to learn the
cause and as he stepped in front of j.
d. Burrell's store an explosion oc-
CURED inside, carrying out the front
of the building. He was almost be-
headed by the flying derbis. A piece
of timber was driven through his heart
and his body blown across the street.
The Mason, Odd Fellows and Wood
men lodges, which were over Burrell's
store, were wrecked along with the
entire building. The safe containing
a large sum of money was untouched.
The sole motive for the crime appears
to have been to injure the property of
the individuals. The county is greatly
excited. Posses are out searching in
every direction.

Last of the TasmanIans.

A very interesting addition has just
been made to the exhibited anthropo-
logical collection in the Natural His
tory Museum. 1t is perfect skele-
ton of an aboriginal Tasmanian. Only
four complete skeletons of this extinct
race are known to exist, and, owing
to the custom of burning the dead
which prevailed among them, it is
very doubtful whether any others will
now be recovered The last male of
the race died in March, 1869, and in
June, 1876, there died the last woman,
Truganina, or Lalla Rookh as she.
was afterwards called. She was alb
solutely the last survivor of the race,
and this fact lends additional interest
to the possession by the museum of
the authentic busts of her and her
husband, modelled by Mr.. Murray of
Hobart Town.-London Globe.
