Several buildings Of the garrison were
hit great many times by misdirected
volleys, but fortunately none of the
soldiers were hurt. One man reported
wounded at Rio Grande city.
During the battle, Troop 'I," sta
toned at Fort Brown, Texas, was tele-
graphed for and it came on a forced
march, but when they arrived every
thing was quiet. The enemy being
cowed by the sturdy resistance gave up
their dsstardly assault and withdrew,
some going, we are told, over into
Mexico and others are still in hiding.
The reason for attacking the soldiers is
unknown, other than they were angry
because the soldiers were not allowed
to go to the city and lsvishly spend
their money as they have been doing.
TIE War Department is considering
whetherto move the troop or not.

are concerned, and thought they could
do as they pleased with these soldiers
without fear of punishment. The

might he established between the lines
TO prevent the recurrence Of such troubles
in the future The Filipinos wanted
peace, but General Otis bluntly informed
them that the war had now begun and
the only terms he could offer was uncon-
ditional surrender.
The laundering war went on. Bat
ties We're won only by the boundless
courage and splendid dash of the Ameri-
can volmteers-never by strategic
move or display of generalship. Hun
dreds Of American boys, as brave and
noble as ever lived, have laid down their
lives when such costly sacrifices were not
necessary. Towns have been burned, Il
fertile country has been laid waste, hap
Ply homes nave been destroyed and a
land once echoing with music and laugh
ter has been hacked and SCARED with II
multitude Of blood-stained graves.
There is no necessity for continuing
such policy We can have peace any
time by declaring to the Filipin0s and
to the world that we have no selfish
designs, but that we propose to give
them their independence as soon as they
have established "A just and stable gov
elumenf. We should assist them toward
this worthy end rather than suppress by
force of arms the aspirations which the
story of our own forefathers has kim
died in their bosoms.
IF we solemnly promise the Filipincs
their immediate or ultimate independ-
ence, armed opposition to our army of
occupation will cease at once. If we
need Il naval trading station for the
prosperity Of our commerce in the ORR
ent, the E'ilipinos will gladly give up
any claim to Manila bay and the city.
We need not withdraw with any dis
honor. The highest honor we can
achieve will be found in the fact that
we have assisted to establish the first
republic of the Orient.
IF the moneyed syndicates which are
so eagerly looking for high rates of i'm
terest and profitable investments III the
Philippines cannot find other sources of
financial gain, let them hive for time
on the principal. Our flag, which has
always stood for liberty and independ-
ence, is too sacred to be stepped in mer-
cenary blood"

Some Remarkably Fine Work Shown In
Under The Dome."

Some Remarkably Fine Work Shown In
'Under The Dome"
The patrons of the theatre were more
than satisfied with the play they wit
messed at the Opera House last evening.
1t was great treat and one that will not
soon be forgotten. From the time the
curtain went up to the close of the err
formance the audience was kept on the
verge of expectancy and showed its ap-
probation by long and continuous ap-
plause. The scenery and mechanical ef-
fects shown were the finest ever put on
the stage in this city. The illumination
of the dome of the capitol at Washing
ton showed up very nice. But this was
! only starter. The ferry boat scene in
act second was one of the finest allusions
we have ever witnessed, as the ferry boat
neared its destination the lights of the
city seemed to grow larger and brighter,
and coupled with the blowing of whistles
and ringing of bells one could not help
but imagining himself swinging across
the channel. The third act, showing the
harbor al Apia, Samoa, was about as
pretty picture as one could fnd any
where. the saluting of the men, of-war
being so realistic that person almost
magines hearing the cannon booming
The tendency of the piece arouses the
patriotism of the audience, and in the
fourth act, when occurs the fearful hur-
ricane and the wreck of the U. S. cruiser
Trenton, they could not keep quiet any
longer and cheer after cheer was given,
the curtain being raised seven times on
thit act something that has not occurred
before. The shipwreck, with the ocean
waves seemingly rolling hundred feet
high tossing the Trenton around and fin
ally dashing her to pieces on the rocks,
is the most beautiful sight ever presented.
The scenic work alone is worth double
the price of admission, while the play,
which deals with the troubles and ad
ventures of young sailor and his sweet
heart. is good one and is portrayed by
a most capable company. One and all
of the characters being well taken, and
the specialties were very good. Harry
Sutherland's whistling was splendid, and
the dancing of Miss Hunt was fine, we
never having seen anything as neat. The
company is seriously thinking of playing
a return engagement 5000, when stand
ing room will no doubt be at premium.
