fires were lighted along the ridge on
the other side Of the valley. The
American troops are in cheerful spirits
and regard their experiences as pic
mic rather than a stern reality.
Gen. Overshine's brigade, 4th cav
airy, 18th infantry and LIST North Da-
kota on the right did some reconno1-
tering today, but otherwise all are
taking matters easily. The list Wash
ington infantry, LIST Idaho infantry
and North Dakotas are strung out from
blockhouse No. II to the old Spanish
trenches southwest of Malate fort
where the 14th infantry is Quartered.
The enemy is obviously concentrated
at Paranaque. Gen. Kings brigade
has been compelled to destroy the vii
lage of San Pedro Macate, as the ma
tives moving from house to house fired
from the windows as the Americans
advanced.
Last evening as the Filipinos at
Caloocan were evidently massing for
night attack on the left wing, compan-
les B, c. and of the goth Kansas in
fantry were ordered to attack md
drive the sharp-shooters from the
bamboo jungle in front of the firing
line, where they had caused consid
cradle annoyance all the afternoon.
The battalion charged brilliantly,
driving the enemy like chaff and pen
etrating to the very heart of Caloocan.
First Lieut. A c. Afford, as cabled last
night, was killed while leading his
company. He was shot in the fore
head Sergeant Jay Sheldon, Co. l,
was seriously wounded. Privates Dan
lei Hewitt Ernest Fritz, John Gilli-
tan and two other members of Co. B,
were slightly wounded. Thirty dead
Filipinos were counted. in the brush,
and there were many more wounded.
The gunboats Concord and Allao kept
up an incessant fire from the bay, the
Concord dropping many shells in the
town with telling effect. In order to
avoid accidents from this source, Gen.
Otis compelled the recall Of the Kan
sas battalion, after burning the out
skirts of the town. Either the shells
of the American warships or the ma
tives themselves fired a number OF
buildings within the town limits. Pre-
sumably this was the result OF the
Smelling.

DETAILS OF SAMOAN BATTLE.
A Provisional Government Formed
Pending Settlement of Trouble.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The steam
day bringing details of the recent out
break at Apia. The Associated Press
correspondent at that place reports
that while Chief Justice Chambers was
hearing the claims of the rival canal
dates for the kingship, the Mataafa ma
tives, who are numerically the strong
er, were openly supported by the Ger
man officials and the entire German
population began to talk of immediate
war in case the decision went against
him, and the life of the chief justice
was openly threatened by one of the
chiefs The three cOnsuIs agreed TO
issue proclamation, putting the chief
justice and his residence under the pro-
lection of the treaty powers. For
some reason the German consul broke
his word and declined to do so. De-
cember 81 the chief jus
tice decided Mataafa ineligible
for election and Malietoa
Tanus was king. The American and
British consuE Immediately recognized
the new king. The decision was re-
ooived in ominous silence by the ma
tives. The. German consul and the
president declined to recognize the new
kin, Tanus, and went over to Mataafa,
who was waiting at Mulinu, the west
ern portion of Apia, with 5000 men I'M
der arms, until he had surrounded the
loyal troops, 1900 in number, who oc-
cupied the central portion of the town.
AS already reported by cable, desper-
ate fight ensued. The British sailors
under Lieut.. Gaunt behaved splendidly.
They held their fire for direct attack
which never came. The American
consul, Osborne, and family took ref
uge in the BRUSH consulate which was
closely guarded by the British sailors.
When the Malietoa men took refuge on
board the Porpoise, the Mataafa men
were left in possession of che city.
The Samoan houses were looted
and burned. A provisional govern
ment, with the president as executive
head. was approved by all the consuls
pending a settlement of the whole
question by their respective govern
ments. The British and American con-
suls agreed to this provisional gov
eminent with the understanding that
it was in no wise to affect the Berlin
treaty All is now quiet, but every
thing points to another fight among
the natives at no distant day.

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN'S BIG FIRE.
A Dozen Stores Burned-Loss $4,000
and Insurance Light.

Prairie, du Chen, Wis, Feb. g.
This city was visited by a terrible fire
early yesterday and dozen stores,
with their contents, were burned. The
loss will reach $4,000, and the insur-
ance is very light. The fire broke out
in the P. Uher & Sons shoe store,
spreading east to Boucher & Macket's
grocery store and bakery; Horace
Beach, hardware; McFeetler's art gal
lery; Mrs. Kelt's millinery store; John
Koch, S merchant tailor store; Zim-
merman's jewelry store, and Fl. c..
Poehler & Sons grocery store; and on
the west to G. Grelle, Jr., dry goods
store; H. Beach's art studio, and a
dressmaking establishment. The fire
men fought desperately, but the contin-
ual explosion of gunpowder and kerO-
sene made their work dangerous. 1t is
doubtful if $1OO worth of goods we're
saved from the store buildings. A
steamer carrying companies of the La
Crosse fire department arrived too late
to be of assistance. Just what caused
the fire is not yet known.

for damages resulting from such con-
duct and from the imperiOus necessity
of watching over the safety of the pub
lie veal. This government cannot
tolerate a state of anarchy, either
threatened or inaugurated, in commu-
mites composed either of it's own citi-
zens or of aliens who may engage in
industrial or other pursuits within it's
territory. If they obey the precepts of
the law, it will protect them. if they
defy the law and constitutional author
tiles, then in common with all others
who participate with them in such acts
of lawlessness and violence, they must
be deemed to accept the consequences
of the conflict which they invite. The
Lattimer strikers were disturbers OF
the public peace and violators OF law
They were rapidly drifting into state
of petty war. It was the duty OF the
sheriff to take measures to prevent, as
we'll as to repress, civil tumults and
disorders. If they had obeyed his law
full command, no blood would have
been shed, and by their lawless and ag-
gressive conduct, challenging the en-
bodied force of the state, they placed
themselves beyond the protecting pale
of the law. To reward the wounded
living and heirs of those slain under
such circumstances would be offering
a premium to lawlessness and inviting
renewed outbreaks and riots. This
government is therefore unable to ad-
nit the justice of the claim"

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Not since 1872 has
Chicago experienced such intense cold
as that prevailing now. At II o'clock
last night 1899 was close upon the un-
desirable record of 1872, was gaining
steadily, and had every chance of beat
ing it out by several degrees. The
lowest notch reached since the estab-
lishment of the weather bureau in this.
city was % below. At II last night it
was 10 below, and when the weather
office closed the officials predicted that
by this morning the mercury would
reach rs below, and the record will be
broken Since the prediction was
made nothing has occurred to
stamp it as a false alarm. The
maximum yesterday was 6 be-
low, and the resulting discomfort.
was accumulated by a strong wind
which blew from the northwest. There
were no deaths attributable to the
cold, although frost-bitten faces, hands
and feet were numerous. Three peo-
pie collapsed on the street from the,
effect of the cold, but were soon re-
vived. All through the west and
northwest the cold is intense. At La

TO-NIGHT'S POLO.

Springfield Will Oppose the Blues-The
Game Should be Fast and Close.
New Haven and New Britain are now
running neck and neck in the contest
for first place in the National Polo
league, each team having won three out
of four games playes-a record to be
proud of for the first weeks work But
for the absence of Captain Whiting at
Hartford on Saturday night it is gener-
have won. Whiting was suffering from
injuries received in Friday nights con-
test.
The New Haven team has certainly
shown the pace in the first weeks play,
and if they can maintain it there is lit
tie doubt that the team will be leading
the league most of the season. Their
and can hardly be improved on, and all
that is wanted is simply to keep it up.
All going WELL, another three victories
should fall to the Blues this week.
Springfield last season fell an easy prey
both at home and abroad. What they
will do this season can better be told
after to-night's game. The Blackbirds
are composed of speedy and scientific
players, and the game at the rink to-
night ought to please every crank.
From the advance sale of seats another
large attendance is assured at to-night's
game. Tickets can be had at Wells
cigar store Chapel street, up to six
a clock
