Duquett was shot squarely

The pistol was so close to his breast
that his shirt was powder-burned.

uen. Lawton Unexpectedly stirs
Up a Hornets Nest.

Mdhllds June lo.--Gen. LaWtOn
unexpectedly stirred up one of the
liveliest engagements Of the war,
south of Las Pinas. this morning.
upon which occasion American field
guns were engaged in the first arr
tillery duel against Filipino bat
terry concealed in a Jungle. Com
panies F and ! of the Twenty-6rst
Infantry were nearly surrounded
by large body OF insurgents, but
the Americans cut their way out
with heavy loss.
The United States turret ship
Monadnock and the gunboats
Helena and Zafiro trained their
batteries on Bakoor and the rebel
trenches near Las Palmas all the
morning. Bakoor was once on FIRE,
but the natives stopped the spread
of the flames.
During the night an insurgent
cannon was fired three times at the
Americans at the outskirts of Las
Pinas. Gen. Lawton this morning
took battalion OF the Fourteenth
Regiment and two companies OF the
Twenty-first Regiment to the rebel
battery, and then two guns of the
Sixth Artillery and four mountain
guns were planted against it 600
yards distant. The rebels had a
large gun, from which they were
firing homemade canister loaded |
I with nails, and two smaller guns.
Their shooting was most accurate.
The first lot of canister bursted in
front of SCOTS gun and another
shattered the legs of private in
the Fourteenth Infantry. Several
shots struck the edge of the town.
The country traversed was as
bad as it is possible to imagine, be-
ing mainly lagoons, mud and water.
fringed with bamboos. AS soon as
the fighting opened the Americans
were attacked by hidden rit1emen
on all sides, even the Amigos, or
.''friendly" natives, in the houses of
the town shooting into their rear.
The companies of the Twenty /
first Regiment, skirmishing alorg
the beach with Amigo friends,
found apparently a handful of
rebels, who retreated. The men of
the Twenty first followed, and sud
denly the rebels opened a terrific
fire on the troops from the sides and
rear. The soldiers withdrew to
the waters edge, finding what shell
ter they could, and were picked off |
rapidly. After the ammunition
was nearly exhausted the COM
panies of the Twenty -frstretreated,
but Gen. Lawton dashed down and
rallied the men.

down some of the rebel sharpshoot-

Finally their cartridges were all
gone and they were forced to break |

leg was broken, foundered for a
mile through a bog after leading
his men in the face of a greatly
superior force.

a smaller portion flew away and be-
came the moon. He has arrived at the
conclusion that water will get down

SHIPPING SUBSIDY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-PrOminent

The main feature of the measure is a

CABLE IN WAR.

Comdr. c. H. Stockton discusses in
the Proceedings of the Naval Institute
the subject of Submarine Telegraph
Gables in Time of War" The status
of the ocean cable in war time played
a part in only four of the modern wars,
the Franco-German war, two wars in
Chile and our own late conflict. In
these contests cables were cut SO that
pratice chimes with the theory of their
status which Comdr. Stockton states
as follows: There can be little doubt
as to the right of a belligerent to cut,
destroy or interfere with a submarine
telegraph cable or terminal station, no
matter by whom owned, in the terri
tory, land or water Of the enemy,
whenever military necessity or con-
venience requires it, The refusal Of
the Manila-Hong Kong Cable Company
to allow Admiral Dewey to use the cut
cable by means of instruments on one
of his ships is justified, as that would
have placed the cable company in the
position of aiding one side at the pos
sible expense of the other.

BIRDS FOR WAR.
An Expert Reports on the
Use of Carrier Pigeon.
How to Get Effective Service From
Experiments.

Captain John r. Bartlett, L. s. n,
retired, chief of the coast signal ser
vice during the war with Spain, has
reported to the department on the
value OF carrier pigeons for signalling
purposes. The Baltimore Sun sum-
marizes the report as follows:
That experiments be made for the
purpose of training homing pigeons in
connection with coast signalling, for
the reason that they offer solution of
the problem of communication with
vessels in the off-shore patrol fleet.
These vessels would most probably
operate in districts having established
bases, and at such distance from the
coast and from the inshore patrol that
visual signaling would be impossible
A homing pigeon service cannot be
improvised and be of any real value.
The birds must be Systematically and
only to equip the cOteS with trained
carriers for that locality but to furnish
a stock of seabred breeders. Expert
mental cotes should be located at the
bases of naval coast defense districts.
a small vessel provided with carrier
pigeon outfit, and an officer detailed
to develop this means of cOmmunlca-
ton land superintend the systematic
training of the birds. Unless that is
done with intelligence for at least a
year it would be useless to rely upon it
at all. Such system could be econo-
mically inaugurated and could be
maintained at a comparatively slight
cost. simple routine of drills, eXer-
cises and reports based upon our recent
experiences could be readily put into
operation and small rewards or appro-
pirate rating would stimulate prOfci-
ency. In times of peace such service
would be of constant convenience to
this department and to the maritime
interests of the country, and the con-
slant practice would prepare the men
for the emergencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact that
every other maritime nation has such
a system, generally much more elabor-
ate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized and operated under its naval
or maritime department.

HARD PUDDING.
Neat Story of Camp Life from an Eng

Some time ago, writes a volunteer in
a London weekly, l spent a week with
a garrison battery in a South Coast

down to an exceptionally fine dinner,
the crowning glory of which was a
large plum pudding. / had made the
pudding two days before, had it boiled,
and now, reheated, it made its appear

brother warriors, and / naturally felt

Seems mighty hard remarked the
sergeant major, as he vainly tried to
stick his fork into it. Have you
boiled us cannon ball, Browney?"
''Or the regimental foot ball?" asked

Where did you get the -four from?''
questioned Sergeant Smith.
Where from?" 1 retorted. From

THE deuce you did, roared the
quartermaster sergeant. Then, hang
you, you've made the pudding with
Portland cement"
And SO it proved. The pudding is
now preserved in the battery museum.
