In the two days of real fighting before
Santiago men of the different regiments
became mixed and for time were lost to
their comrades This condition gave rise
to the report that certain few men had
shown the "white feather"
One Of tho officers Of General Lawton 3
division observed among his nen colored
trooper of the Tenth cavalry. On being
questioned the man explained that no had
lost his command and asked to be allowed
to remain where he was.
He staid and did fine service that day.
None Of his white comrades were able to
Guido him In deeds of bravery. He twice
risked his life In assisting wounded men
to places Of safety, but each time escaped
uninjured.
That night he asked the officer whom he
had met earlier in the day to give him a
note to his own commander, accounting
for his absence and certifying to his good
conduct. This was willingly done, and,
with the precious paper clasped tightly in
his hand, under cover of darkness he start
ed in search Of his own command.
The next morning at dawn Lieutenant
l.. started on a search for wounded men
of his division and happened to stumble
over a PROSTATE body. He Immediately
recognized the brave cavalryman of the
day before, who was fast losing conscious
ness.
After struggling moment for strength
to speak the prostrate man held up his
little slip Of paper and said, "Giye it to
Captain A. of L troop, il you can find
him, and toll him Williams wasn't cow
ard"
Then, with look of satisfaction in his
eyes, his hand dropped to his side, and he
was dead louisville Courier journal.

southern islands Of overwhelming in
surgent victories in Luzon keep up ex-
element in that section among the
more ignorant classes. although intel
ligent people know American arms
have never met reverse and they call
for United States protection.
Have turned over to navy for uso
on the coast of the southern islands a
number of purchased Spanish gun

HluPINQS AGGRESSIVE
Wet Season Gives the Insurrection
q New Lease Of Life.
HARDsHIPs OF OUR SOLDIERS.

Sleeping In Their Clothing and Con-
stantIy ON the Alert Against Dashes
Upon the Outposts-Insur9snts Be-
lieve That Our ForcesAre Weakening
Manila. May 29.-The approach of
the wet season finds the insurrection
seemingly taking new lease of life.
All alongth American lines the rebels
nre showing more aggressive activity,
In their guerilla style. than at any time
before since the fall of Malolos. They
keep the Unitsd States troops In the
trenches. sleeping In their clothing
aashes upon our outposts, and they
make life warm for the American
garrisons in the towns.
The bands Of General Luna and Cen
'eral Masxardo, which retreated toward
Tarlac when they feared they would
be caught between General Macarthur
and General Lawton, have returned In
force to their old trenches around San
Fernando, where there are daily COLI
Dions.
Opposite our lines on the south, pro-
tecting Manila, all the way around to
San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have
three rows of trenches most Of the
distance.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace nego-
tiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough Of fighting. The
Filipinos are also encouraged by the
belief that the Americans are prepar-
ing for an interval Of inactivity dur
ing the wet season.
This period IL sure to be followed
by much suffering. Thousands Of
acres that were under cultivation last
year have not been plowed this year,
and the government will probably be
obliged to feed thousands, just as 1t
fed the Cubans.
Friendly natives, Amigos, continue to
pour into the American lines by land
and river routes, coming from the ter
ritory Of insurrection into the country
where the passage Of the two armies
has left no food, and practically throw
ing themselves upon the charity Of
their conquerors. Such able bodied
men as are not in the Filipino ranks
have been kept by the insurgent lead
ers to dig trenches, and old men, wo-
men and children form the mass of
the refugees.
The United States army has organ
lied system Of distributing rice at
Malolos and some of the smaller towns
where Filipino stores were captured,
but the latter will soon be exhausted.
The United States transport Morgan
City, which arrived here from San
Francisco with 600 recruits for various
regiments, sailed yesterday for Iloilo
with the troops.
AS it was impossible to take to Spain
the remains of the Spanish General
Montero, who was fatally wounded in
recent engagement with the Filipinos
in the island of Mindanao and who
died while being brought here from
Zamboanga on the transport Leon
XIII, it was decided that the interment
should take place in Manila. The fune-
raj took place yesterday, hundreds Of
Spanish soldiers and civilians attend
ing the services in the cathedral and
following the cortege to the grave
with wreaths and flags. The Spanish
papers declare that Montero was
victim of the Spanish governments
neglect.

The Sunday Herald says: From present
indications, William b. Clerk. the Union
Republican nominee, will be the next
Mayor of the city of Wilmington.
Mr.. Clerk became o candidate for the
office Of Mayor at tho solicitation of
staunch friends irrespective of party. Ho
is not advocated by nccers nor by that
class of politicians whose only intsrest is
self.advancemunt This class of people he
has studiously avoided, and wants MOTH
ing to do with them,
When elected William B. Clerk will
give the city of Wilmington clean ad-
ministration. Tho classes will not be re-
cognized above tho masses. Mr.. Clerk
manages morocco factory at Ninth and
Walnut streets. When the occasion re-
quires, which iSqute frequent, he takes
his coat off and goes among his employees,
and docs his share of the work This fact
shows that william b. CLERK, Union Re-

captain Ililey MISSING ana the worst
Is Feared.
Washington, May29.-General Greedy
yesterday received cablegram from
Major Thompson, at Manila, reporting
that party landing for the repair OF
the cable at Escalante, Island of Ne
gros, had been treacherously attacked
by natives, that Captain George II. Til
ley, signal corps, is missing, and that
the worst is feared. Tilleys services in
the Philippines have been marked by
such ability, courage and zeal that his
superior placed him In the foremost
rank of subordinate officers. The cable
operations referred to are not those of
the signal corps. but of the Eastern
Extension Gable company, that has
been permitted to repair and replace
certain cables in the Visayan islands.
Tilley doubtless accompanied the ex-
pedtioN as the representative of the
United States, the supervision of all
telegraph lines and cables being part
Of his duties. No other casualties in
the signal corps have been as yet re-
ported in this expedition. Tilley was
appointed from California.
