Gable dispatches from Manila state
that the long-expected rupture between
the Americans and the Filipinos has
come at last. The former are now en-
gagged in solving the Philippine prob
lem with the utmost expedition pos
sible.
The clash came at $40 Saturday
evening, when three daring Filipinos
dashed passed the Nebraska regiments
pickets at Santa Mesa, but retired
when challenged. They repeated the
experiment without drawing tie SEN

raj Greedy challenged the Filipinos and

wounding another.
Almost Immediately afterwards the
Filipinos' line, from Caloocan to Santa
Mesa, commenced a fusilade which
was Intellectual The Nebraska, Mon
tana and North Dakota outposts re-
piled vigorously, and held their ground
| until re. endorsements arrived. The
Filipinos in the meantime concentrated
at three points-Ca loocan, Gagalangin
and Santa Mesa.
At about l O'Clock the Filipinos
opened hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. This was supple
mented by the fire of two siege guns
at Balik-B alik, and by advancing their
skirmishers at Paco and Pandacan,
The Americans responded with ter
rife fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its eff
feet. The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded in silencing the native bat
terry. The Third artillery also dit
good on the extreme left The engage
ment lasted over an hour.
} The United States cruiser Charles
ton and the gunboat Concord, station
ed off MaIabona, opened fire from thei
secondary batteries on the Filipos' pc
sition at Caloocan and kept up vigol
ously.
At 2:45 there was another fusilad
: along the entire line, and the Unite
States sea-going double-turreted MOI
itor Monadnock opened fire on the Ell

An Acted Parable.

When the late Dr. Alexander Proud 1t was pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Springfield, Ohio, he told this amusing story at a social gathering of the teachers of his Sunday school:
 A good old Scotch elder, who was deeply concerned because his pastor consistently refused to allow children to be admitted to church fellowship, invited him to his house. After tea, the elder took the pastor out to see his large flock of sheep put into the fold Taking his stand at the entrance to the sheepfold, the elder allowed the sheep to enter, but as the little lambs came up, he roughly pushed them back with heavy stick
 The pastor became very indignant, and exclaimed, What are you doing to the lambs? They need the shelter far more than the sheepp
 Just what you are doing to the children at the church, was the prompt reply.
 "l he object lesson did it's work. Never again did the pastor attempt to shut out from the fold of the church one of Christ's little ones"

His weekly i1- come now was 80 francs, or SIG, which was twice as much as he needed for his support All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils, At the end of the first year he could count dollars in his pocket by the hua- dred. Meanwhile, having managed to pick Up some scraps of German, he de- termined 10 try his luck in one of the university cities of Germany. He there put out small sign bearing his name and the words, Teacher of English and French" He got more pupils than he had in Paris, and meanwhile, not only perfected himself in the German tongue. but took lessons in Latin and Greek at 8 classical academy. In less than three years from the time he left New York he came back to it. and now he is professor of ancient and modern languages, including the Sans crit and Persian, in a famous American institution of learning.
