Manila, Aug. 14.-A reconnaissance
Saturday by troops Of Gen. Samuel B.
M. Young's brigade with the object Of
discovering the whereabouts Of the
enemy near San Mateo, northeast OF
the San Juan reservoir, about ten miles
from Manila, resulted in the occupation
of San Mateo. The American loss was
three killed and lS wounded, including
a lieutenant Of the Twenty-hrst in
fantry. The Americans approached
San Mateo in three columns.
Maj. Cronin, with $50 men Of
the Twenty-fifth infantry advanced
from Novaliches, five miles west of San
Mateo. Capt Rivers, with 100 men of
the Fourth cavalry, and Capt. Parker,
formerly lieutenant colonel of the
Twelfth New York volunteer regi-
ment, with $50 men Of the Twenty-frst
and Twenty-fourth infantry and the
Fourth cavalry, approached in two col
umns from the south. Maj. Cronin ex-
perienced many difficulties arising
from the condition Of the country and
failed to effect junction with Capt.
Rivers west Of San Mateo, as had been
planned.
Capt. Rivers, advancing, took an out
post Of the enemy two miles southwest
Of San Mateo. He then encountered
strong resistance among the hills, the
enemy firing from excellent positions.
Having failed to connect with Maj. Gro
min, and seeing that the town was al.
ready occupied by the Americans, Capt.
Rivers withdrew, covering his with
drawal by heavy volley. He had lost
a sergeant killed.
Capt. Parker, on advancing, found
the enemy strongly intrenched on the
far side Of some rice fields, about mile
wide and covered with deep mud.
Pushing forward rapidly he routed the
Filipinos after 40 minutes fighting,
and then continued the march upon
San Mateo, which he entered without
resistance about 1880 in the afternoon.
Maj. Cronin entered the town about
4:SO The Americans still occupy the
place. Our men were exhausted by the
heavy marching. Twenty-three Of the
enemy are known to have been killed.
Gen. Young accompanied Capt.
Parker's column and was under fire
throughout the engagement. 1t is
estimated that the enemy numbered
between 800 and 400 men.
Word has been received from Lieut..
]. c. Gilmore, of the United States
gunboat Yorktown. who with IA men,
bers of the crew of the gunboat was
captured by the insurgents last April
near Baler, on the east coast of Luzon.
The message, which comes through
Spanish prisoners, is to the effect that
the officer and his men are at Vigan, in
the province of South Ilocos, on the
west coast of Luzon. All but two are
well. Lieut.. Gilmore is allowed a
house and servant and is fairly
treated.

Patron" a regular correspond
ent of the Las Animas Leader,
had some very pleasant things to
say last week concerning the re-
cent Masonic function in La Junta,
and makes some valuable sug-
gestions:
"Yonr correspondent was called
upon to mingle with the Masons
of Prowers, Bent and Otero
counties, under the auspices of
Euclid lodge of La Junta at their
lodge room in La unta, last week.
We were royalty entertained. 1t,
has never been my privilege, in
my thirty-two years of Masonic
work, to be so well treated. With
all the due respect to all organiz-
ations l believe ! make no mistake
in saying that while this assem-
blage OF 40 Masons were in ses-
sion that the cream of these three
counties were present.
GAS entertainers, the Masons OF
La unta have few equals. To
this text l shall stand, until Lamar
and Las Animas convince me that
they are equal to the occasion.
Let us have love feast OF this
kind once a year at La Junta, also
at Lamar and Las Animas. Our
entire interests are identical in this
great Arkansas Valley. Let us lay
down our little petty prejudices
and jealousies, il any there be, and
all pull together to place this valley
where she properly belongs-sec-
ond to none in the known world.
We have the people and the foun-
dation for such valley, and all we
need is little grooming and the
work is complete.

The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1899-02-17

A REMARKABLE feature in connection with the
reigning houses Of Europe says the London Weekly,
is the fact that nearly every of them has strains
of Hebrew blood in the veins ofits members Almost
every one of the now regning families descended
from Alberta, Queen of Sicily who was daughter
Of the old Hebrew banker, Perleoni. The latter
the first of his to be admitted to the ranks of
European aristocracy. Pope Leo TX ennobled him
in the year 1116. Later one of his sons, who be-
came converted to the Roman Catholic Church, as,
cended the Papal throne under the title of Anacetus
IL. This, however by means constitutes the only
source of Hebrew blood in the royal and imperial
veins of to-day. There others of far less
mote character. The grandfather ofKing Ferdinand
of Portugal, the gran father of the present King,
was Hungarian Hebrew named Kohary, whose
daughter and heiress married Prince Ferd of
SAKE Coburg. The King of Portugal is therefore in
dubitably of Israeltish descent and So too Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria. whose features are remark
ably Hebraic he is, in fact, grandson of old Ko-
harys heiress second Of the latter's grandsons,
Duke Philip of SAKE Coburg is welded to the eldest
daughter of King Leopold OF Belgium, while third,
Augustus by name, married daughter of the late
Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil.
