New YORK, Feb. 5-A special
from Manila says: The United

has BEEN cast aside. Forty
wearers of the American blue are
dead, martyrs to soldiers duty
and more than hundred of their
comrades are wounded. The
nature Of their injuries is not
yet definitely reported in most
cases but many names will be adj
ded to the grim list Of dead as the
result of the first clash between the
forces of the great republic of the
occident and the little republic Of
tho east. The North Dakota,
Montana and Nebraska volunteers,
in the face Of the sudden attack,
behaved like veterans. They did
not give way an inch. but
covered themselves SO far as was
possible IL. the trenche and an.
swersd the volleys of the natives
only aud with we'll directed fire.
Hopelessly outnumbered in case
OF an advance in force they grimly
kept their positions and used their
rifles to such good effect that the
tilipinos we're kept in check until
the arrival of the reinforcements,
which were hurried up en- double
quick at the moment of the first
alarm.

the precise profits that go to the for

properly appreciated.

A Modern solomon,s Judgment.

The Greek ecclesiastical authori-

to decide case which strongly re-
calls Solomon's famous judgment.
BY strange coincidence a woman
and her daughter both gave birth to
a female child at the same time. But
the babies got mixed, and, rs one Of
them was ugly and the other pretty
and healthy, both mothers claimed
the latter. The elder woman MAIN
tanned that, as all her other children
were handsome, the ugly child could
not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that, being young, handsome
and strorg, she could not be the
mother OF weak and ugly babe.
The religious chief Of the town set
tied the matter In a summary way.
He adjudged the beautiful child to
the daughter on the ground that, be-
ing her first, the occasion was not to
be made one of humiliation and dis.
appointment, while the elder mother
could afford to forget her claim since
she already had several handsome
