A story From Filipino Sources.

London. April 20.-The Filipino Eu-
rupean junta claims to have received
cablegrom from Gen. Luna. "com-
handing the Manila district" direct

Cen. Lawton, whose object was to
pI oceed to Baler and effect a junction

tie Filipino tactics into ''perlously

that column, consisting of 140 officers
snd men, on reaching a place called
Einangonam, was ambushed by a
large Filipino force, communication
with the main force was severed, and
the entire column was captured"

The Filipino advices further assert
that Gen. Lawton, who was at La

retired to Manila, stating that he
had been recalled by Maj.-Gen. Otis

Creole Wedding in Manila.

"Ah, senor," said to me, signing, an
old Creole dame, "how times are chang
edo! If it had not been for this cursed
war with America I would have prayed
you to invite your cpmpatriots, who
must be dying of ennui on their ships,
to come to the wedding of my grand
daughter, Carmencita. She and her
friends, pretty as they tell me myself
was once, would have done you the
honors of my poor house; they would
have served you with chocolate so
much the more succulent in that it was
made by their little hands, and that
the Philippines produce the best cocoa
in the world. The evening would have
passed in smoking delicious puros, in
listening nonchalantly, seated on tilt
ed chairs, to native songs chanted by
my Carmencita. Then they would
have danced the whole night an in
terminable habanera to the sound Of
harps and guitars" Signing as she
said this, the good old Creole asked
me if it was true that the Americans
were pagans, and at my response in the
negative she begged me to light a puro
as big as stalk of maize. Having re-
spectfully given her the light she de-
sired, left her absorbed In the smoke
of her voluminous cigar.-Correspond-

A Young Soldier.

The youngest soldier in the army
that went to Cuba was a boy fourteen
years old. His father was a bugler in
one Of the volunteer regiments en-
camped at Tampa. He followed the
regiment to Tampa and was ordered
home. He did not go home, and when
the regiment was ordered aboard the
transports to go to Cuba he slowed
himself away until they were day out
to sea. There was nothing for the COM
manding officer to do but to take the
boy with him to Cuba, where he was
made a water-boy. During the battle
of San Juan Hill the boy carried water
to the men, and did all that he could
during the battle. He was returned on
one of the first transports, but when he
reached New York he had no money to
pay his railroad fare to his home at
Columbus, Ohio. The government Off
cials could not pay his transportation,
but a letter was given him asking rail-
way officers to help him. home. When
asked if he was afraid during the bat
tie, he~said he did not have time to be
afraid, he had too much to do. e..

@fine neesWaving lines. Ability to hear or.
see silence might occasion some sur
prise, but the record proved simply
that there were sounds in the atmos-
Iphere which the human ear could not
/ hear. Lord Reyleigh, after some ex-
perimentation, declared that we are
capable of hearing sounds of an inten-
sitY less than one-millioneth of an at
|mosphere. Some idea of the capabil-
tiles Of this new instrument may be
gained from the fact that the little
mirror mentioned above will move
backward and forward over even so
slight a distance as 100000 of an
inch
Prof Webster's new machine may
prove of great scientific value. 1t has
recorded a sound of one x-millionth
#of an atmosphere at a distance Of 20
feet. At As feet that same sound, then
reduced to one twelye-millionth Of an
atmosphere, was recorded On the
other hand, the sound of a whistling
buoy seven and quarter miles away
was easily recorded. The pitch of this
sound and the distance away were de-
termined by that instrument. And
this brings up the question of it's util-
|sity on vessels. If the sounds made on
Ea.ssYessel could be recorded on other
vessels carrying such an apparatus, the
probability of a collision would be
much lessened if the collision itself
were not rendered absolutely impos-
sible.

ENGLAND'S NEW BULLET.
DESCRIPTION of the Latest Man-Killer-
For Egyptian Use.

DESCRIPTION of the Latest Man-Killer-
For Egyptian Use.
A new service bullet, just adopted
by the English war Office, will be used
for the first time in the Khartum ex-
pedition Several million rounds are
being sent out for the use of the in
fantry who are going out to Egypt The
reason assigned for the change in the
service bullet is that the Lee Metford,
though it is more deadly at ten times
the range of the old musket ball, does
not disable an enemy as effectually as
is considered desirable. The case is
elongated and so hard that soldiers
have been known to go on fighting aft
er half dozen Lee-Metford bullets
has gone through them, while the bull
let itself has passed through two or
three men consecutively, shock being
sacrificed for penetration, says the
London Times. The Dunn Dunn bullet,
now also superseded, came into use for
the purpose of stopping the rush OF
hordes of fanatics, as it had the advan-
tage Of spreading out and breaking up
whenever it encountered resistance;
but there has recently been some dis
cussion in France as to the propriety
of demonstrating with the British war
Office on the ground that it is contrary
to the convention made with other Eu-
ropean powers in 1868. The new SER
vice bullet is the same diameter (.303),
the same length Gan inch and one
tifth) and the same weight (215 grains)
as the Lee-Metford bullet, and fits all
the service rifles and machine guns in
~use by the British army. The case is
Of nickel, the base only being filled
with lead. The conical end is left
empty, and when it strikes the enemy
burrs, opens backward and lodges in
the body penetration being lessened
and shock increased. The new bullet
is spoken Of as "the man-killing bull
let," in contradistinction to the man
penetrating bullet. 1t is propelled
with cordite, and has as much energy
as the old Martini-Henry bullet of 410
grains had With the best gunpowder;
while, as it is half the weight, the SOL
dier is able to carry double the number
of rounds of ball cartridges. The new
bullet is being manufactured in the
royal laboratory, Woolwich arsenal, by
men and boys working overtime at
the rate of-4,000,00O rounds of ball car
fridge per week, and if the test in the
Kharaum expedition nrOves satisfac-
tory permanent stock will be kept on
hand at the powder magazine at Wool.

test the cold water baths. He used
to plunge right into ice-cold water. I
wouldn't do that. But it helped him
so much that in two weeks he was
greatly relieved and in six months he
was perfectly well and strong. In,
all this time he had taken not one drop
of medicine. L think he said he used
some hot herb packs besides his cold
baths, but that was all. Rheumatism,
you KNOW" she went on, learnedly, "1s
a disease of the blood, but the first
fault lies with the stomach. 1t doesn't
digest food properly, and so diet is one
of the most important points. Acid
is formed in the blood through ind1-
gestion, and one has neuralgia and
after a time rheumatism. Now, if you
go to doctors they give one a lot of
poisonous drugs. What is it they give
so much for that, anti-something or
other? I forget, but, anyhow, they
rarely cure on. Oh, yes; did I tell
you about the cold packs which we
all use in illnesses now? They are so
good for inflammations of all sorts. It
is simply solution of vinegar and
cold water, and we have them laid
across us for an hour before the cold
spray is taken. Why, remember
once when I had a pulse of 10, nearly
burning up with fever, in fact, I had
this cold pack put on me and in an
hour they said the pulse was down to
80. There is nothing, in truth, that
cannot be done with good pure water,
when one uses it with perfect under
standing"
