pills OF the Twenty-first ward have
gone back to the old system of 'im-
porialism." Principal o'Hnnlon some
time ago introduced system OF self
government in the school. under which
the pupils elected officers and n police
force. The scheme worked well ana
the lesson was taught that Offenders
brought trouble and annoyance to the
entire population of the school room.
But some of the parents objected.
They claimed that 1t was teaching the
children to become ''tell-talcs" and to
spy upon each other. Then School Di-
rector Fahscl issued an order comSeli'
ing Principal OHanlon to again as

very much when he saw a strange,
furious beast of the cat family give

The boy then got long pole and
punched the savage beast out into the

Manila. March 31.-7:35 p m.-The
United States troops rested last night
in the jungle about nile and quar-
ter from Malolos.
The days advance began at o'clock
and covered n distance of about two
and half miles beyond the Guiguinto
river along the railroad. The brunt of
the battle was on the right of the
track, where the enemy was apparent
ly concentrated.
The First Nebraska, First South Da-
kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regi-
ments encountered them entrenched on
the border OF the woods and the
Americans, advancing across the open,
suffered terrific fire for half an hour.
Four men of the Nebraska regiment
were killed and thirty were wounded.
Ten men OF the Dakota regiment were
wounded and one OF the Pennsylvan-
ians was killed.
The Americans finally drove the
Filipinos back. Although there were
three lines OF strong entertainments
along the track, the enemy made
scarcely any defense there.
The enemys loss was apparently
small. the jungle affording them such
protection that the Americans We're
unable to see them and in firing We're
guided only by the sound OF the FL
ipino shots. The American artillery
was handicapped for the same reason.
The provision train was delayed py
broken bridges. but the stores OF grain
and fiocks OF ducks In the locality fur-
nished ample forage.
The hospital work is remarkably EN-
| cient as 1t has been throughout the
whole campaign.
The telegraphcrs keep abreast OF the
line and maintain constant cohhec-
ton with the city.

Attitade of Cuban Assembly May Prevent
Payment of Soldiers.
Havana, March 3O.-Governor Gen
er:ll Brooke has almost made up his
mind to send the $3,OOO.OOO back to the
United States IL the Cuban Assembly
does not give up the army rolls.
"You may rs we'll do so and nos
trsfe much longer" said Secretary Al
ger when discussing the matter two
days ago in conference with General
Brooke and General Gomez. The lat
ter said that such course would serve
the assembly right.
Anyway, the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return
the money to Washington, and II Is
stirring up fresh feeling against the
assembly. General Ernst called upon
the Cuban General Rafael Portuendo.

OF the assembly. three days ago, and
asked for the rolls.
'.Do You come from General Brooke?"
asked Portucndo.
"Yes," replied General Ernst.
"Officially or unotticially?
Il come unotficially," answered the
American officer.
''rhen | cannot give them up" re-
tUrted Portucndo. Il can only do SC
on official recognition.
A file of United States troops would
probably be sent to take the rolls II
the military establishment knew exact
ly where they were. but there Is n feel
ing that mistake might be made and
the administration placed in the light
Of oyer-anxiety. and. possibly, be
laughed at.
In the course of n conversation with
an old friend from San Domingo to-
day, General Gomez said:
~ am ready to go home. l am tired
of this jangie with the assembly. l
have learned something about this peo-
pie which l did not know before. They
are ungrateful people. They do not ap-
preciate what the United States gov
ernment Is doing for them-a service
IN which l am assisting.
'.These assembly commissioners have
run off again to the United States to
beg for money while 1. who have II
wife In San Domingo, have not money
enough TO bring her here. But there
do have house and might be sure
Of enough to live on. l am old and
tired, and I feel like going back"
The organization of the so-called Gu
ban National party Is proceeding.
Meetings are held nightly. and to-
day the promoters issued manifesto
to the people of Havana calling upon
them to unite their efforts to organize

scminating information preparatory TO

Another ceremony Of this strangr

During the late afternoon several OF

and telegraph and telephone lines

In northern Indiana the storm was

At present the farmers, the market
