THE PHILIPPINES.
Rev. Pfaus EntertaIns a Large Audience With
Army Incidents and Descriptions From
Our New Possessions.

Last evening, at Culver's hall, a
large audience was highly entertained
by Rev. Pfaus, the gentleman ap-
pearing in the uniform worn by him
as a corporal OF Company l, First
Montana Volunteers, and for two
hours detailing many of the interest
ing experiences of the regiment while
In camp at Helena, at San Francisco,
during the voyage to the Philippines
and after reaching the scenes of the
present sanguinary conflict.
At his own request we refrain from
a complete review of the lecture, but
suffice it to say that while he dis
claimed any desire to criticise the au-
thorities having the expedition in
charge, he nevertheless recited Ier-
sOnal experiences and observations
which went to prove that the voyage
over was one of not only discomfort,
but much suffering.
Mr.. Pfaus scored the native Filipi-
nos numerically, as well as the Span.

Tuesday afternoon, a telephone
message from Helena announced
that news had been received there
that General Miller had captured
lloilo, the insurgent stronghold on
the island Of Panay in the Philip
pines. The American loss was light,
Filipino loss heavy. No further
particulars were received. The
troops engaged were one battery OF
regular artillery, the Sixth and
Eighteenth . regular infantry and
possibly the Tennessee volunteers,
though the latter may not have
reached there in time for the fight.
The boats engaged were probably

Ola Ostler Joe, who once was the ia

age OF f1as-been. He will be remem-

Last Years Output of Books
Shows q Falling Off.
A LIST OF GOOD NOVELS
The Garden OF Eden, a Socialistic Theme
by N. H. Bishop-A Civilian At
tachee. by Helen Brown-Mrs.
Catherwood's Works.

Last year the output Of books in this
country and in England showed a con-
siderable falling off from that of several
previous years. But if we Judge from
the activity manifested during the past
six months, the book production of the
present year will be somewhat enor-
nous. An in the product of this year
the production of fiction will be fully
up to the average of previous years.
AS IT has been some time since we have
had good list of novels for our peo-
pie to consider, we are glad this week
to mention an unusually large number.
The success of Mr.. Wilson Barrett in
the novelization of the Sign of the
Cross" has induced him to attempt the
same operation with another of his
plays, The Daughters of Babylon"
AS may be inferred from its title, the
scene of this story Is taken from Old
Testament history. In the work of pre-
pairing the story, Mr.. Barrett has awaited
hibsef of the assistance of Robert
Hichens, whose name, as joint author,
appears on the title page. Another
novel, the plot of which is located at
about the same time is ''Shem: a Story

Ellis.
Mr.. w. Fl. Bishop is a story writer
whose success has not equalled the
promise of his early efforts, but who
deserves more recognition than he has
received. He has touched on a social
istc theme in 1.-THE Garden of Eden,
u. S. A; Very Possible Story
An excellently told story is "A Civil
ian Attachee; A Story of a Frontier
Army Post" by Helen Dawes Brown.
This tale is in a line of fiction which
has heretofore been considered almost
the exclusive property Of Capt. Charles
King. And it appears that the captain,
or captain general, as some Of the crit
les now call him. has not yet exhausted
his own resources in the same direction,
inasmuch as in the list of books before
us this week is his latest story, which
he calls "A Trooper Galahad."
In this connection it is well to men,
ton The Army Mule and Other War
Sketches" by Henry A. Castle, a col
lection of stories which have already
been known separately, but which are
here collected for the first time.
One of those recent authors who are
deserving of most favorable recogni-
tion is Mrs Mary Hartwell Catherwood
Her tales are always composed from
good material, generally historical IN
nature, and are constructed in speci-
ally atistic manner. Her latest hook is
The Queen of the Swamp, and Other
Plain Americans" being stories of Ken
lucky and of that region of the country
which is commonly spoken of as the
Old Northwest.
Mr. Wilson Churchill leaped into
fame. not only by the acknowledged
merits of his first book, The Celeb
rity." but from the supposed theme of
that book and the curious similarity
