An Interesting Hour.
The Filipino soldiers in the town,
secreted in various buildings and fir
ing from windows, gave the invaders
an interesting hour. There vas a reg
ular nest of them in the stone Jail,
which is edged in by a wall. This
was a veritable pepper pot. The
Americans, singly or in pairs, entered
the houses, and many warriors were
taken prisoners.
The FiIipinOs in Retreat.
A considerable body of the Filipinos
fed northward, crossing the open
marshes, but the gatlings poured upon
them a deadly hail until they disap-
peared in the woods. Staying dozens.
Maj. Weisenberger deployed the
sharpshooters along the shore, and
they crept steadily forward, aiding the
gatlings. Finally a large body was sent
against the enemy in the woods, driv'
ing them toward the mountains.
Established Headquarters.
Gen. Lawton established headquar-
tiers at the elegant palace OF the gov

placed in the church, as the sacred

was patroIled, and all lOoting rigidly

Almost all the inhabitants had fed
during the two preceding nights. and
only a few Chinese shopkeepers
emerged from h;dingaud resumed bust

presentation OF this phase of the de-

skill of David X. Watson, of Pitts

with the best in the country. Mr..
Watson spoke on this subject for near
~ two hours yesterday afternoon, and

Forests and Reservoirs.

That the preservation OF the forests
OF the arid region is duty distinctly
belonging to the general Government
seems to be a general opinion. Large
appropriations have been made for the
surveys Of proposed forest rcserva-
tons, thousands OF square miles Of
forest land have been reserved, and
ways and means for forest preserva
ton are now being discussed and con
sidered. One of the strongest argu-
ments which is advanced showing the
importance Of forest preservation s
the influence which forests are known
to have in conserving moisture, the
forest acting like great sponge which
takes up rainfall and then allows it to
gradually seep away, supplying streams
brooks aud springs.
lnasmueh as the commercial value
Of these forests is comparatively lnsig-
niticant, except for furnishing fuel and
rough timber, the water question is
really the important one. Here, then,
We have the Government, through its
administration Of forests, practically
spending money to store water and
conserve the flow OF streams. Why
therefore is it not a proper Govern
ment function to spend money for
building works which shall artilicialiy
store water, as the forests do natur-
ally? Undoubtedly the preservation
of the forests is highly important
question, and especially in the West,
and the Government is the proper
agency to insure such preservation,
but the principal arguments which
can be brought forward in support of
the policy apply with increased force
to Government construction of reser-
vOirs.

"A definite proposition has been

Short Line" said Maj. C. ]. Bassett
OF Boise at the Walker yesterday.
1T is that the city shall give the
railroad company 100000 in cold
cash and bear half the expense of
two railroad bridges that will have
to be built or about $4,000 more
Then the main line of the road will
be relocated to pass through Boise.
and the understanding is that the
railroad company will expend about
S250,O00 in laying out local facili-
ties and improvements. The new
line will be twenty miles longer

not be over thirty minutes because
