GOOD PRICE FOR SHEEP.
Market For Both Sheep and Lambs Better
Than Since Last Fall.

The sheepmen who still have sheep
to market are feeling very happy
over the present high prices. This
week opened with a regular boom In
the sheep market, and prices were
the highest since last October. The
choice Colorado lambs sold up to
S6.l5, not for a load or two, but fol
some $500 head. This price Is the
highest of the year for lambs, except.
ing, OF course, the few little spring
lambs that sold up to $12.5O per 1O(
pounds, and which come into a diff
ferent class. The sheep and lamt
feeders who bad to pay so dearly fol
both their stock and their feed were
at great disadvantage early in the
season, but they are thankful to see
the market in such favorable condi
tion now. The demand for choice
sheep and lambs has been steadily or
the increase, and thereis every reason
to believe that the increase in con
sumption of mutton per capita will
go steadily forward. Drovers

Manila, April q, 9:s5p. m.-General
McArthur's division crossed the Rio
Grande today and advanced on
Apalit, completely routing the flower
OF the rebel army.
The enemy were very strongly en-
trenched on the river bank near the
side of the railway bridge. General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston
across, with two companies OF the
Twentieth Kansas regiment, couple
of privates swimming the swift
stream with a rope, under calling
fire, for the purpose of guiding the
raft. The men crossed in squads OF
20 and attacked the left flank of the
rebels, who scuttled like rabbits In
to covered ways and trenches. The
rest OF the regiment was compelled
to cross the bridge in single file along
the stringers. All the wood work
and much OF the iron work had been
removed.
The First Montana regiment fol.
lowed the Kansas across the bridge.
The First Nebraska regiment, acting
as a reserve, attacked the rebels in
three lines OF trenches, driving them
out, killing 16 and wounding many

Filipinos, estimated at not less than
5000, led by Dantoni Luini on a black
charger. evidently with view OF re-
enforcing the rebels that were en-
gaging the Nebraskans, appeared In
the open field, two miles to the left,
with very thick reserves following.
They advanced at a double quick un-
til they were about 1000 yards from
the American line, when General
Wheaton ordered his troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently un-
aware that the Americans had cros-
sed the river, broke and ran in the
direction of La Cubulu. The other
Filipinos fled toward Apalit station.
The heat In the early part of the
afternoon was terrific, but a drench-
ing thunder storm, which came later,
greatly refreshed the Americans.
Most of the rebels fled to Apalit
station where two trains were await
ing them. They left hurriedly, pre-
sumably for San Fernando. The
towns of San Vincente and Apalit
were simultaneously burned and
evacuated by the natives. Twenty
prisoners were captured, including Il
Spaniard. The American troops al
so captured a brass cannon and a
quantity OF arms and ammunition,
and the same evening they captured
a Maxim gun on the railroad. The
lighting lasted from noon until 4
o'clock.

STOCK MEETING AT CHINOOK.


Chinook, Mont, April N.-"How
have you wintered?" has been the
common salutation in this town to-
day, and whether the answer referred
to man or beast, the universal reply

Over 100 cattle owners are here at
tending the fifth annual convention
of the North Montana Roundup as
sociation, and all having compared
notes they find that the winterlosses
were not above the average, being
confined largely to March calves,
while surviving stock is in excellent
condition.

REBELS SUE
FOR PEACE.
The Fiercest Engagement Of
The War at Calumpit.
Rebels Appear to Have Had Quite
Enough and the End Is in
Sight>>Two Company |
Men Wounded.

Manila, April 26, 10 p. m.-Aguinal
dos army today is defending Calum-
pit energetically, which Is said to
indicate that the rebels are finally
making that place the last ditch, or
stand, which the Americans expected
them to make at Malolos. For the
first time the Filipinos are employ
ing artillery. They brought two
guns into action in the trenches to-
day before Calumpit, firing modern
shrapnel, which burst over the heads
OF General Wheaton's brigade with
out effect.
Fighting was resumed at O'Clock
this morning. During the night,
engineers repaired the Bagbag bridge,
thus enabling our troops TO cross the
river. General Wheaton's brigade
advanced in extended order, with the
Kansas regiment to the west of the
railroad and the Montana regiment
to the east Of it and took up posi-
tion covering one and one-half miles
on the south bank of the Rio Grande.
On the opposite banks were fortified
trenches from which a Jew American
soldiers would have been able to defy
thousands, so strongly were they
CONSTRUCTED. The Americans found
the trenches on the south bank fthe
river deserted, which furnished them
with cover from which they could
pick off the Filipinos whenever one
of them showed his head. When the
rebels began firing, two puffs of
smoke simultaneously from the
trenches on each side of the railroad
track showed they were using can
non, which was a surprise to the
Americans. Several shells broke close
to General Wheaton's staff. but it
seemed the Filipinos failed to master
the machinery OF modern shells and
they were unable to get the right
range.
Young's Utah battery was ordered
into position In the center of the
Kansas regiment, to silence the rebel
guns, and at eleven O'Clock the rapid
fire guns had been ferried across the
river and came into line.
At noon the rebels were still pour.
ing heavy Are In the direction ol
the Americans, who returned II
spiritedly. Two Americans were
killed and seven wounded. Atabout
this time General Hale's brigade was
advancing east of the line, apparent.
ly to cross the river and attack the
rebels trenches In the flank, as did
the Americans yesterday.
