HOW a BULLET TRAVELS.
Lessons the Soldier Is Taught I'm
Learning How to Shoot.

Learning How to Shoot.
The soldier is taught that the bullet
travels through the air in a curved line
called the trajectory, and that three
forces act upon it-frst, the exploded
charge, tending to drive it forward in
a straight line along the line of fire;
second, the force of gravity, and, third,
the air resistance. At 900 yards, owing
to these forces, the bullet, travelling at
the rate of 1000 feet q second, will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex-
element Of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high.
It has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within $50 yards the
soldiers will instinctively fire as much
as two feet or three feet above their
heads. Now, it has been found by ex-
pertinent that the fact of fixing bay
onets will cause the bullet to drop
distance Of about 215 feet in $50 yards,
and therefore when about this distance
from the enemy soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets, in order to counterfeit
the excessive elevation of their aim.
The recruit learns that the mean ex-
treme range of the bullet is 8, 500 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3,760 yards. He is taught the pene-
trating power Of his weapon, a subject
full Of interest To take one or two ex-
amples, rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls while
a concentrated fire Of about $50 rounds
at 900 yards will breach q nine inch
brick wall.
Only experience can teach soldier
how much he must aim to the right Or
left of his mark to counterfeit the force
of the wind. A side wind has more
effect on the flight of the bullet than
wind blowing directly toward the frer.
The soldier must learn the habits of his
rifle, since some shoot higher or lower
than others. Every rifle, like every
marksman, has it's own Individuality

Not Stricken With Grief.

81 thought my ambulance service
had hardened me against unpleasant
SURPRISES" said a young doctor who
does considerable work on the lower
east side, ''but sometimes it seems not.
For instance, yesterday morning when
I called on an old woman patient in a
big tenement down town / found she
was dying, and l was shocked to sec
lying asleep close beside her OH the
narrow bed young girl of about Is.
II aroused her at once and explained
to her that her grandmother was with
in a few minutes Of death. | thought
naturally that she would jump out of
her unpleasant position, without think
ing long about the manner of her
jumping. But l fooled myself. She
just glanced at the old lady and shook
off my hand sullenly and muttered
You femme 'lone; then she turned
over to go to sleep again without NOV
ing away an inch.
1.-THE rest Of the family went on with
their chattering and wailing, and when
left the house after the end had come
to the grandmother the girl was still
sleeping there, refusing to have her
morning nap disturbed, and somehow
my system was considerably Jared by
the thing."-> - --''

GOOD NEWS FROM MANILA.
Report That Aguinaldo l. Surrounded
His Secretary in Our Hands.

Report That Aguinaldo l. Surrounded
His Secretary in Our Hands.
Washington, Nov. IA. = The cables
from Manila, received yesterday, stat
ing that Colonel Hayes has captured
Aguinaldo's secretary and that it is
believed that AguinaldO himself is sur
rounded, not having escaped to the
north, as was reported, were received
with great satisfaction by the govern
ment officials from the president down,
for il AguinaldO is captured it is not
believed the FilipinOs can carry on the
war. The cable said that the last or
ders to the Filipino commander at San
Jose were to hold San Jose and Car
ranglal at all costs. But the Filipino
is not given to that sort of war. He
fires a lot of lead in the direction OF
as soon as he can hear the enemy yell.
There are other reasons why the
hope is strong here that the Philippine
war is on it's last legs. Yesterdays
cables said that 1.-The moral effect of
the news that 10000 troops are on
their way here has been unQuestion-
ably great. The insurgents are suffer-
ing more from disease than the Ameri-
cans, owing to poor food, lack of medi-
cines, and filthy hospitals, with the
result that there is great mortality
among them. General LaWtOn has in
tercepted a telegram from an insur-
gent captain to a Filipino general,
reading: How can you blame me for
retreating when only twelve of my
company were able to fight? !" An Of
fetal cable from General Otis reports
that though the service has been
arduous the movements of the troops
recently have everywhere been sue
cessfui, the rebels being cleared out of
a wide territory.
Tarlac, the late headquarters of
Aguinaldo's government, was taken
easily. There was a rear guard of 400
FilipinOs there when our troops ap-
reached, but they ''let OUT as soon as
they saw our men coming. An inSur
gent supply department was captured
at Mayug consisting of several hun
dred thousand pounds Of rice, $500
pounds flour, 1900 pounds salt and
other provisions. Thirteen hundred
uniform coats, new, many blankets and
other articles Of clothing were found
there; also number of insurgent Off
GERS and sixty-nine Spanish and two
American prisoners. 1t looks as though
the rebellion could last but little
longer.
Whether Chinese exclusion should
be applied to the Philippines is among
the subjects engaging the attention of
the Philippine commission. Consider
able evidence bearing on the matter
has been collected, and besides present
ing this testimony with their full re-
port it is expected that a recommended
ton will be made which may have con-
siderable influence in shaping the
course of this government and the &C
ton of congress. 1t is understood that
two of the members Of the commission
DENLY and WOrcester-have eX-
pressed themselves as favorable to an
application of the Chinese exclusion
act to the Philippines. From the fact
that General Otis has issued an order
for Chinese exclusion it is assumed
that his voice, as a member of the
commission, also would be for Chinese
exclusion in the Philippines.

Manila, Nov. Il, p. m.-The Thirty
third infantry, in one of the SharpeSt
two hours engagements of the war,
with an equal force of insurgents, five
miles from San Fabian, Saturday, lost
one officer and six men killed and one
officer and twelve men wounded The
Americans captured tWenty-nine Fill
pinOS and 100 rifles and found eighty
one insurgent dead lying in the trenhces
and rice fields. Many more Filipinos
doubtless were killed or wounded.
General Wheaton was informed that
the enemy was gathering at San ia

Americans from controlling the road
from Dagupan north, whereby Aguin-
aldo might retreat. The Thirty-third
Colonel Howe commanding, and de-
tachment of the Thirteenth with Cat
ling gun, Rowland commanding, were
sent to dispense them.
Road Was Knee Deep in Mud.
The troops encountered the worst
road ever found in the Island Of
LuZOn. There was a succession OF
creeks, whose bridges the Americans
had to stop and repair, and miry
bitches, and at certain places men and
horses struggled waist deep in
quagmires. A hundred soldiers
had to drag the Calling gun
part of the way, the horses being use
less. The insurgents opened the fight
two miles from San Jacinto, while the
leading American battalion was pass
ing q clump of houses in the midst Of
a cOcOanut grove, knee-deep in mud.
FIipinos Reserved Their Fire.
The Filipino sharpshooters, hidden
in trees, houses and a small trench
across the road, held their fire until
the Americans were close to them.
When they began firing other FilipinOs
opened fire from thckets, right and
left, further away. The insurgent
sharpshOOters picked off the officers

wore shOulder-straps or chevrons. But
the Thirty-third never Wavered. It's
