A GOOD ACCOUNT
First Washington Man
Writes OF Fighting.
Moving on Sheltered Natives
Some Gallant Charg eS-Cap-
ture of Field Pieces.

James j. Butler. member OF the
First Washington Regiment row IN
Manila, writes 10 VI. Loa.s Of this city
as follows:
Our company went out Oil outpost
duty the night of February 18th near
blockhouse No. II. We arrived there
at about O'Clock and spread our
blankets for the night. About 9:15 we
heard shots near blockhouse No. 3 on
our left. About o'clock they com
menced firing at US, but we did not fire
Ia shot until daylight. About 10 O'Clock
five companies came cut and took their
places on the firing line witch us.
On the right, about two hundre /
yards in front of us, was d creek
waist deep. On the opposite side the
natives had a strong breastwork At
daylight we commenced to sn0oi, and
tell you it was something awful. The
bullets flew thick and fast over and
around us. After firing about half an
hour we commenced to advance We
had no breaStworks to get behind. The
best we could do was to lie fat on the
ground. At last we reached their
breastworks. Nearly all the boys
dipped their guns in the water to cool
them OFF. Soon after we started on the
move again. We drove those fellows
clear up to the Pasig river, where
number Of them tried to swim across
and were drowned.
Companies l and G had a hard fight
also during this time. They went
through rice fields and charged a small
hill where the natives had "a strong
breastwOrk. Here is where they killed
over eighty men in one place. We
went over an open field of 500 yards
and through the woods TIC the river
Companies | and G captured the field
piece while they were throwing shells
at us. The First Washington, togeth-
er with the California and Idaho regi-
ments, belong to Gen. Kings brigade
At the Santa Ana headquarters of tie
Flllplnos we found over 5000 knives.
We went into the trenches at San
Pedro and stayed there for some time.
having small fight every day until
the Regulars arrived We then moved
to GuadalOupe, but the natives didn't
stay long enough to give us a fight.
We are now near Manila and shall
move into the city soon. Stamps and
paper are scarce. This paper | found

Installation.

There was very large attendance
last evening for the regular meeting of
Masonic Lodge LIE Progress. There
were two events on the program.
Clarence NJ. White, past master, was
presented with a beautiful jewel OF gold

Senior Warden Geo. A. Davis. In his
remarks Mr.. Davis paid the highest
tribute to the past master for services
rendered. There was hearty and
unanimous second to every word of ap-
prevail of the administration of Past

important in another way, as it keeps
the ground underneath the road free
from saturation and thereby makes
strong foundation. 1t Is the natural
earth underneath the covering that
must bear the weight of the road. 1t
really sustains in addition the weight
of stone, etc, as well.
If this natural soil, or foundation of
the road is permitted to become satu-
rated with water, either by water per-
colating down into it from the surface
or from water rising into it from be-
low, it has not strength to resist the
wheels which at once sink into it, and
ruts are formed. But if this soil foun-
dalton is kept dry or nearly so it is
strong and will support any load likely
to pass over it. II the water Is shed
from the road to the cutters and there

and causes the injury above spoken of.
Speaking of the great Importance of
keeping a road in repair, let a wagon
track, scarcely perceptible at first, after
a shower stand full of water and
soften the road at that spot, another
wagon passing along later sinks fur
Their into the softened track, here is n
deeper hole to hold water, soon it be-
comes rut, then the rut develops into
pitch hole. The soil underneath Is
brought up and mixed with surface
covering, the surface covering is bro
ken down and forced into the soil.
Here, then, is bad road and per-
manent weakness, the result of neg
lect to repair the road at the proper
time and neglect to keep the drain
age of the road in perfect condition at
all times.

According to bulletin No. 95, issued
by the department Of agriculture, New
Jersey is building more roads and bet
ter roads for the money than any other
state in the Union. The roads being
built there will last and can be kept
up to a high standard at minimum
expense.
Bulletin No. 90 is devoted exclusive
ly to good roads. In it the opinion is
expressed that all the important roads
in the United States will be macad-
amized or otherwise improved within a
few years. The bulletin advises the
building of stone roads wherever it is
possible and condemns dirt roads as
much more expensive in the end.

trimmed with quantities of insertion
lace The skirt is cut in the full futed
style and is quite distinct from the
skirt of cream taffeta.
There is immense variety in little
open coats which are just the thing for
a smart costume for the summer holt
day. One of the most chic styles is the
new Elton, with spade or tabled front,
which is most becoming to a small fig
ure and sufficiently uncommon to look
smart. A costume with this coat, shown
in the second cut, is of gray cloth,
trimmed with dark gray and white
braid. The Elton coat fits closely into
the waist at the back, and two lines of
the braid simulate curved seams and
cross the shoulders and outline the
fronts. The collar and revers of white
silk are closely covered with lines of the
braid, and the fronts are also faced
with the same white silk.

The Frenchwoman,s Slim Effect.

The tight lacing Of Frenchwomen
has passed into proverb But makers
of fine lingerie will explain to any one
who has the curiosity to investigate
that the slim effects for which the Pa
risian is famous are obtained quite as
much by the manner of wearing the
undergarments as by their cut or by
any straining of the corset strings, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Here, for example, is point to be
noted: Whereas, skirts in America have
had a habit of coming to the waist
line, no French girl would so far mis-
shape herself as to let the skirtband
come higher than the second clasp of
the corset. An inverted hook catches
all skirtbands in her toilet and holds
them well down in 'front.' though the
strings tie at the waist behind. When
a short wasted Elton or bolero corset is
donned with such a skirt arrangement,
French art accomplishes result to
parallel which an American girl, with
her accumulation of garments at the
waist, would have to pinch and get red
in the face drawing up her lacings.

1.-The chic thing of the season is the
black silk coat of tucked taffeta, bor-
dered all around with a stitched band
of plain taffeta. These form decidedly
one of the most fashionable features Of
the seasons fashions" says the New
York Sun.
Both black and white silk taffeta
coats will be worn with cotton, silk,
wool and lace gowns this season. They
are made of the soft, thin and conse-
quently expensive taffeta, finely tucked
and lined with white. Some of them
are Elton shape, with or without round
ed points at either side of the front,
while others have the scalloped basque
finish or are cut in the form of Rus
sian blouse without much of the real
blouse effect.

Even the bicycle skirt has added
inches in this season of street sweeping
and trailing robes, and wash skirts are
made so long that at the sides and in
the back they lie on the ground several
inches.
Innumerable yards of puckered black
velvet ribbon are used in trimming
white organdies.
Silk percaline is a new lining fabric,
inexpensive and light, combining silk
with cotton.
Fashions were never more becoming
to the short girl. In trailing princess
gown she attains dignity unknown in
the day of sensible short skirts.
Madras, fine bingham, duck and
pique all figure in serviceable summer
gowns.

Yaccinnted the Rifien.

Orders that were issued by the Ger.
man West African officials that all
firearms in the hands Of natives should
be stamped and registered aroused
much discomfort. Lieutenant Eggers,
in Damaraland, however got along
with no trouble. He had inoculated
cattle for the rinderpest three years be-
fore, as the Damaras saw, with good
results. He therefore announced that
he was ready to vaccinate their rifles
SO as to insure their shooting straight
and doing no hurt to their owners and
the Damaras crowded to him to get
their guns stamped.

white. These are fully six inches wide,
overlapping each other little, white
piping finishing the upper founce The
overdress is spotted all over with small
embroidered rings of white linen such
as are used in the renaissance lace
work. They are also sewed on the
blouse bodice, which is completed with

Yachting suits of linen and pique are
very much the fashion, and checked
linens in the natural flax color are worn
by the English women for what they
call river suits, as the stuff will not
fade in the sun. Tailor made yachting
suits of white duck finished with
stitched bands of the sane, are extreme
ly elegant this season, made with the
short scalloped coats so much seen in
cloth and worn with pretty colored
taffeta silk waist all fine hand run tucks
and open lines of hemstitching.
Pale blue linen, decorated with bands
of white linen set in and strapped across
with narrow stitched bands of blue,
makes charming summer gown. A

suit is as truly feminine as any dress
this season with its long skirt, shaped
founce and festooned bands of satin,
edged with fine silk gimp. White seems
to be the prevailing choice for this sort
of dress, and cloth, serge, flannel, plain
linen and duck are the favorite ma
terials.
All kinds of gowns are affected by
the fashion for long skirts, without very
much regard for the purpose for which
they are intended. To be sure, there
are degrees of length, but the yachting
skirt is long enough more than to touch
the floor all around.
The circular founce in varied widths
is the feature Of many of the yachting
skirts, but others are cut with the long
faring cores and trimmed with wide
stitched bands. Many rows of stitching
in colored silk make pretty finish on
the white cloth gowns which in some
instances are made with blouse waist,
finished with a deep sailor collar, a
white chemisette and stock of tucked
silk, and sailor tie of white banded
across the ends with blue silk.
Cloth and fine flannel with cloth
finish in the light colors and navy blue
are both made up into yachting suits.
