LOVE EXCHANGES. The captain
had not been married long when ne
was ordered into camp, says the Gin:
cinnati Enquirer. The long expected
call had come at last. To be sure, the
camp was in plain sight of the cap
tain's residence, which was some mltl-
CATION of the hardship; but still it was
separation; and to tighten this terrible
condition it was arranged that the be.
reaved husband and wife should signal
to each other often with handkerchiets.
1t was on the second day that the
young wife was seated on the porch
reading.

time when hundreds of Filipiuos could
be seen rushing in the direction OF
Santa Cruz. They made no attempt
to reply to the American fire; but
only seemed intent upon getting out OF
range of our guns. Many of them
took to the hills with such eagerness
as to excite derision among our troops.
The sharpshooters accompanying the
|expedition were particularly. anxious
to get ashore. and when the order
was given for them to land, they cheer
ell heartily. They went ashore under
the protection of the guns of the
Napidan, which thoroughly shelled
the woods in the vicinity of the place
selected for the landing. The sharp
shooters were followed by two battal-
ions of the Fourteenth infantry, under
Captain Hasbrock, and together they
attacked the scattering enemy. The
sharpshooters proved themselves wor-
thy of their reputation. They picked
off the Filipinos with precision when
ever the opportunity offered. The
Filipinos were not long iu discovering
that they were affording targets for
marksmen whose shots meant death,
and they took advantage of every nat
ural shield to protect themselves in
their retreat.
A battalion of the North Dakota reg,
iment, under command of Major Fraim,
and battalion of the Idaho regiment,
commanded by Captain Linck, were
ordered to land after the other de-
tachments, had gone ashore. Just at
this time there was no tug available to
tow them in their cascoes. In the
emergency newspaper launch accom-.
panying the expedition offered to act
as towboat and the offer was prompt
ly accepted. The launch got the lines
aboard, and in a short time the troops
were landed without difficulty. They
were at once deployed as skirmishers
on the left flank of the troops who were
marching toward Santa Cruz from the
south. The only opposition met with
was from small bodts of the Filipinos
who wer. am bushed at different places
along the route.
Meanwhile the Laguna de Bay was
attacking the Filipinos at the entrance
of the river. Darkness was approach
ing, and the Americans were still two
miles from the church in the town. A
halt was made just before dark and
the troops bivouacked. In the gray
of the dawn this morning the advance
was continued. The Filipinos attempt
ed to make stand and hold the town,
but their efforts were fruitless and our
troops drove them out and occupied
the place.
The total American loss was only six
men wounded. The Filipinos lost 6S
killed and 40 wounded, while many OF
them were captured.

ANOTHER LITTLE FIGHT.
General Lawton Captures the Filipino Town
of Santa Cruz.

General Lawton Captures the Filipino Town
of Santa Cruz.
The town of Santa Cruz, the modern
capital of the Laguna province, a
stronghold of the Filipinos and the
most important place on Laguna de
Bay, is now in the hands of the Amer
leans, who captured it last Monday
morning, says a dispatch.
The expedition under the command
of Brigadier General Lawton, which
started from San Pedro Macati on SAT-
urday evening to attack the rebels at
the southern end of Laguna de Bay
and to capture Santa Cruz, did not
reach Laguna de Bay until midnight.
1t consisted of eight companies of The
Fourteenth infantry, three companies
of the Fourth cavalry, four companies
each of the First North Dakota aud
the First Idaho volunteers, TWO moun-
tain guns, and 200 sharpshoolers Sc
lected from the Fourteenth infantry
and the North Dakota and Washing
ton regiments. The men were con-
veyed in fifteen cascoes, or native
lighters, which were towed by seven
tugs. The cascoes We're heavily laden,
and considerable difficulty was exper.
fenced in navigating the Pas!g river,
the boats frequently running aground.
After the expedition reached the head
of the river, which has its source in
Laguua de Bay, it was decided to wall
until daylight on Sunday morning be-
fore proceeding across the lake.
As soon as the sun rose another start
was made, the string of tugs and Gas.
Goes moving off with the army gun
boats. Laguua de Bay, Nipidan and
Oesle in the lead. A heavy rainstorm
set in soon after the start and the boats
became somewhat scattered, and at 7
o'clock a halt was made for half an
hour to allow them to get together
again. While the fotilla was waiting
General Lawton boarded the Laguna
de Bay and held conference with the
officers on board. The rain was ac-
companied by very little wind, which
was fortunate circumstance, for had
the lake been rough, it would have
been extremely dangerous for the
heavily laden cascoes.
The boats were soon collected and
the expedition continued its voyage
southwark. At 9 o'clock a dense fog
set in, shutting out all view of the
land. This compelled another halt un-
til the fog lifted sufficiently to allow
the pilots to distinguish the shore
marks. Finally the expedition got
within five miles of Santa Cruz, where
another stop was made and the battal-
ion, commanders were signalled to go
aboard the Laguna de Bay to receive
their final instructions. While these
instructions were being given Filipi-
no steamer was discovered two miles
south of the place where the expedi-
ton was lying, but she was not molest-
ed.
At l o'clock a reconnaissance OF the
insurgents positions was made by the
gunboats, the Napidan examining the
centre, or Santa Cruz, while the Laguna
de Bay reconnoitered to the north OF
the town and the Oeste to the south.
At half past l the Napidan, which had
worked to the southwark, opened fire
on the Filipinos who were holding a
position four miles south of the town.
The fire had continued but very short

A BRIDES CONFUSION.

In New York recently, something
unexpected happened in East Twenty
eighth street, around the corner from
Madison avenue. There was a quiet
parlor wedding at the house of a ply
sican-a well. known doctor, and about
20 friends were present to witness the
ceremony. The bride was the physl-
clans 1S-year-old daughter, and the
groom was the son of Brooklyn
brewer. There was to be d honey
moon trip after the marriage, and the
mother of the bride, with true mater
nal foresight, had pat French travel
ing clock in her daughters pocket. 1t
was little bit of clock. Somehow
it got wound up wrong. AS the cou-
pie stood up with the minister under
the floral bell a hush fell on the small
assemblage, and the hush deepened as
thew knelt on velvet cushion while
the preacher prayed. -,
"Oh, Lord" said the preacher, "let
Thy blessing rest upon this'-"Br'r.r-,
pink, pink" burst out the measly lit
tie alarm clock in tone of awful dis
tinctness. The venerable preacher
opened one eye inquiringly, but quick
ly closed it again as he saw the groom's
fat father scowling at him over his
spectacles from the corner of the room.
"Oh, Lord" said the preacher, begin
ming again, "let Thy"
"B.r-r-r-, pink" came out from the
depths of the brides pocket. "Oh,
Lord" said the preacher in voice OF
desperate calmness, opening both eyes
and closing them again like flash,
"let Thy bless"
"Br-r;r-r, pink, pink pink pink
pink, pink" =,
The minister stopped. The bride,
whose face was very red, and who had
been trying in vain with her left hand
to choke off the clock or shake it into
submission, snatched it from her pock-
ct and passed it to the groom, who
handed it to his best man, who handed
it to the brewers wife, who glared at
it and handed it to her husband, who
went out in the hall, actually shaking
his fist at it as he went.
The minister began his prayer once
more, and as he said "Oh, Lord" for
the fourth time, there was loud bang
out in the back yard which indicated
that the alarm clock had struck the
fence with terrific force.

r@- A story which comes from Tor
rington, Conn.,, is further illustration
of the difficulties and anuoyances which
confront the schoolteacher. A Torring-
ton schoolma 'am was trying to impress
the small boy with the meaning of the
word "better." TO illustrate, she ask
ed, "If you were sick, and a doctor
gave you some medicine, what would
you be ?" Dead" was the unexpected
reply. The next day the word 'man''
bothered the little fellow. The teach,
er, nearly out of patience, exclaimed,
"What is your papa ?" "a Democrat"
was the reply.
