A HOT CAMPAIGN
Waged Against the Rebels
in the Trenches
OUR MEN FRUSTRATED
BY the Intense Heat and Lack OF
Water, Fully Forty Per Cent Fall
ing by the Wayside From Exhaust
iOn--RebelS Were Routed.

Manila, June 1O.--4:30 p. NAT day.
break today a force of 4,5OO men under
Generals Lawton Wheaton and Oven
shine advanced from San Pedro Macati,
sweeping the country between the Bay
of Manila and Bay Lake, south of Manila.
BY noon the country had been cleared al
most to Paranaque The Americans lost
two officers killed and II soldiers wound
ed The rebels resisted desperately at
the stronger of their positions and left
SO dead in the trenches. Many more
wounded We're left behind by the rebels
in their retreat. The heat during the day
was overpowering and there were many
prostrations of American soldiers from
that cause.
General Lawton's force consisted of
two battalions each Of the Twenty-first
and Nineteenth infantry, six companies
Of the Colorado volunteers and a detach-
, nrent of artillery. The Nevada cavalry
was under General Wheaton, and the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth infantry, the
Fourth cavalry and a detachment of
light artillery were under Ovenshinc.
1t was scarcely dawn when the troops,
! in long, silent procession. wound up
the hillside behind the American trenches
and formed a skrmish line. Concealed
in the jungle the advance rebel outposts
fired few shots before being seen. The
artillery, the Colorado infantry and Ne
vada cavalry swung around the hilltop
on the left and opened the battle at $50
The rebels made no response from the
hills and the Colorado men cautiously ad-
RANGED through the thick grass until
they were confronted by a trench from
which weak volleys We're fired. A spir-
Led response followed, and q charge into
,he trenches found them deserted. In
! The meantime a part of the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth regiments formed in
a skirmish line extending a mile to the
right and, supported by the rest of the
regiments, swept down the valley and
up the hillside toward another trench.
! Approaching through the morass ser-
ously hampered the Fourteenth, and the
rebels, taking advantage Of this, poured
a CALLING fire upon them for 30 minutes.
The Fourteenth was twice compelled to
withdraw for the purpose of finding a
safe crossing in the swamp. Finally the
trench was enfiladed on both flanks. The
rebels fled to the woods, sustaining Sc
we're losses.
| General Lawton then pushed his entire
command south through the center of the
isthmus until few miles south Of Par
tanaque, then swung around and halted
] on account of the heat.
During the march the men We're pros
ira ted on all sides owing To the lack of
water and exposure to the sun. 1T is es-
+, timated that 40 per cent of the troops
were exhausted.

of Illustrated Testimonials

Word comes from Washington that
now collecting fad has started in the ma
tonal capital, which threatens to sweep
over certain sections of the country near
the homes of certain statesmen. The col
lection Of autographs of public characters,
photographs, samples of note paper, mono
grams and other crazes having become
commonplace, original minds have con-
ccived the idea of collecting from the adj
vcrtising columns of newspapers and
magazines the testimonials of our leading
statesmen and their wives relative to the
merits of proprietary medicines, soaps,
pcrfumery and other goods of this charac-
ter Judging from the appearance of the
advertising columns of hundreds of publ
cations during the past few years the field
for this pastimo is almost unlimited, and
the result ought to DO voluminous as
well as extremely interesting collection of
testimonials
In this connection an interesting story
is told of well-known resident of this
State. A gentleman who was riding with
him not a thousand miles from Montpc-
iicr abou. the time the pictures of our
Vermont Congressman were enjoying a
large circulation, CHANGED to open a news
paper and turn to the portrait of one of
them. Not knowing that the Vermont
statesman with whom he was talking had
just begun to experience a similar advcr-
Using the traveller proceeded to dlate on
the custom in question: II can not for
the life of me sec why public men allow
their pictures to go over the country in
this way" said he, and he proceeded to de-
cry the practice in a manner that was pc
culiarly effective.
1t was natural under the circumstances
that the aforesaid Vermont statesman
should maintain a discreet and profound
silence. and the gentleman who demonstra-
ted to him how the public saw things may
never know that he touched tender point
until he secs the face of his travelling
companion of that day prominently ar

\ Federal Parcel Post.

The movement to induce the government
10 engage in tho parcel post business is
evidently making slow progress. It is al
legged that the express companies mako
excessive charges for carrying parcels,
owing to the fact that duplicate service
exists, the public being compelled to sup
port number of companies whereas If
the government did this business it could
afford to do the same at "A lower price
tho establishment of federal parcel post
would have a similar effect in promoting
trade to that which the adoption of low
rate of postage has had upon letter writ
ing.
The chances are, however. that it will
require considerable more pressure than
can be brought to bear to bring about the
adoption of a federal parcel post. 1t will
be necessary for the government to prac-
ically wipe out an 1normous business es-
tablished by private capital in ordcr to
create a practical monopoly If the parcel
post is to be made d success No one
would think of suggesting that The govern

Ianies. of course; but if the government
We're to embark in the business of carry
ing parcels, it would manfestly result in
destroying a considerable portion of the
business Of those carrying companies.
Hut even If no injustice were involved
in tho establishment of federal parcel
post, there would remain a number Of Sc
ious obstacles to that project. In the first
Place tho postofiice department has found
tho business Of carrying MERCHANDISE at
the present rate Of sixteen cents pound
TO be Il losing venture, and II this is the
case, it is difficult to Sc how the depart
ment can cut the price without adding
materially to the growing deficit which
corfronts it each year. This problem
would probably be increased by the fac,
that There would always be things which
outside parties could carry moro cheapiy
than could the government and it would
be necessary for the government to have
this business in order to raisa the average
income derived from a parcel post.
Another obstacle which the government
would be obliged to overcome in the mat,
ter OF carrying parcels would be the alb
sence Of proper facilities for delivery ii
many sections of the country. In many
dstClcts the population IS sparse and tn,
hauls long, and in order to be really eli
fcctve a parcel post ought to be supple
mcnted by a rural mail delivery system,
project which our postofiice department ha
never yet dared to undertake. Under TN
circumstances it will probably be man!
years before our government goes into tn
business of carrying miscellaneous parcels

inE out of this recent condition Is the ne
ccssity for military operations, and here
again the great distance Of the Philip

important factor, as does tho intensely
tropical climate of the islands. If there
was any good reason for assuming that
the obstacles which we are now Cncouuter-

But the question of the permanent. ie-
tcnton of the Philippines will not be de-

ar whims are often made to do duty for
positive convictions. Chauncey Depew $

abandonment of the Philippines would
make us the laughing stock of the world,
will appeal to more people than columns
OF facts regarding the difficulties to he
