in the Philippines is one of splendid
achievement Soon after its arrival il
took prominent part in the first and
only severe fight with the Spaniards.
This was during the night of July 81
and the morning of Aug. l, 1898. when
the Spaniards were driven from their
trenches near Manila while a terrific
tropical typhoon was raging In this
historical engagement the Pennsylva-
MIA volunteers participated with the
First California regiment, the Utah
battery and the Third United States
artillery.
On Aug. Is. 1898. the Pennsylvanians
participated in the advance on and cap
ture of the city of Manila.
on Feb. 4. 1899. the regiment was
engaged in the first protracted battle
of the campaign against the insurgents.
This contest ended on the evening OF
Feb. 3, in the capture of the strongly
fortified De La Luna church The regi-
ment was under continuous fire all day
on Feb. ). An insurgent field officer
was shot from his horse 100 yards in
front of the line. and his saddle and
bride were presented to Colonel Haw-
kins.
The Pennsylvanians were surprised
at Guigmento bridge on March %. and
were almost surrounded by a crescent
shaped formation of 5000 insurgents.
For forty minutes they sustained the
full fire of the enemy, the nearest rein
forcements being 600 yards in the rear.
During one of the engagements Lieu
tenant Colonel Barnett was struck in

San Francisco, Aug 1.-The work of

There is an air of suppressed excite

the camp and parade grounds to view
the returned volunteers; friends are
seeking familiar faces in the ranks, and
old friendships are being revived.

ALL EYES ARE ON DEWEY.
Crowds Follow Him About the Streets
of Trieste.

New York. Aug. IA dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Trieste
says: Admiral Dewey spent a quiet
day strolling about Trieste this after
noon and evening, but was everywhere
followed by crowds of people Snap
shot photograph fiends continually dog
his footsteps, swapping their cameras
until the admiral could not longer con-
ceal his annoyance.
In the evening the admiral, accom-
panied by Captain Lamberton and
Flag Lieutenant Brumby, visited the
Cafe Speech in the Piazza Grande. The
cafe was quickly crowded with people,
who gathered around and stared re-
specially at the American officers.
During the day Admiral Dewey paid
a farewell visit TO the De Martini fam
lily. the only Americans living in
Trieste Miss Nellie de Martini, who
had presented him with a bouquet on
the arrival of the Olympia, sang, and
Miss Margherita de Martini played for
him. The admiral was greatly pleased
with the music and CALAMITY compli-

DEWEY DIDN'T SAY IT.
That Prediction That Next War
Would Be With Germany.

London, Aug. 1.-The Daily News and
the Standard this morning print vi
emma dispatches saying thai people
who had intercourse with Admiral
Dewey are convinced of the Incorrect
ness of the interview recently printed
in a New York paper, in which the adj
miral was made to say:
Our next war will be with Ger
many"
They say that Admiral Dewey not
only said nothing pointing to strained
relations between the United States and
Germany, but even denied that Captain
Coghlans words could possibly have
been based on anything which he
Dewey had-said. as Captain Coghlan
had never been in his company
On the other hand Admiral Dewey
does not conceal the displeasure he
feels over the arrogant conduct of the
Germans at Manila.

SENATOR CLARK IS LOST.
Perfectly at Sea In Regard to Future
Actions of Democrats.

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. Senator
W. A. Clark, who is in the city, stated
in an interview today that in his Opin-
ion there is nothing sure about William
j. Bryau's nomination by the Demo-
cratic party at its next national con-
vention. The senator also said that he
is not sure about silver being the great
issue of the next campaign though he
still calls himself a. bimetallist. He be-
lieves to a certain extent in expansion
and feels that the war in the Philip
pines must be carried on until the Fill
pinos surrender.
Senator Clark will build new sugar
factory on the Cerilos ranch which he
recently purchased. The capacity will
be 900 barrels per day. The plant will
cost half a million dollars.

ing stock of the community. Everyone
said the ground was valueless, al
though it adjoined the Eureka-Hill,

struggled along without a sign of pay

kept up the work increasingly. and the
stock of the concern went begging at
$50 a share. No one wanted it at that
price, and il was hard matter to make

Finally, however, conditions changed.
and the owners We're rewarded by the
discovery of exceptionally rich ore. The
mine became a paying proposition. Div
idends finally began to come in and for
time, when the white metal was at
the top notch. they came at the rate of
81 and 81 share each month.
The stock of course, went higher
when mining men came to realize the
Importance of the young bonanza. 1t
went TO S12 a share. and few years
ago, before the decline in the price of
silver and lead, was quoted at 500 a
share. The stock afterwards declined
ON account of the decline in those met

ing the last year an improvement has
been noticeable and the stock has again

The magnates at the head of the

interested. secured an option and at
once directed an examination of the
mine made. The company sent r. A.
Parker. one of its experts, accompanied
by Manager j. w. Neill, to do the
work. The gentlemen completed their
examination and upon the receipt of
the favorable reports at the eastern
end of the big concern, Managing Di-
rector A. f. Holden returned to Utah
to close up the transaction The first
option given was not satisfactory to
the purchasers, however. and it was
given up on Monday afternoon. the last
day it was to run. The trouble was
soon satisfactorily arranged and Mr..
Holden announced that the deal would
be satisfactory to the United States
company upon making certain

alton, giving the company the power
to buy and sell mines. mining claims
and properties and to sell and dispose

plan by calling meeting of the stock
holders for Aug. "a at which time the
stockholders, or the number required
to make the transaction legal. will
change the Incorporation articles to
meet the present requirements.
Mr.. Holden explained why this was
requested by saying that it was the
desire of the purchasers to secure all of
the outstanding stock, and it is pro-
posed to give all a chance to sell their
stock at the same price called for in
the option or $40 a share.
IL is understood that Mr.. Bamberger

he has taken in bringing the deal to a
successful conclusion and will pocket
something like 100000 for this. in addi-
ton to $4,000 for his 1000 shares of
stock.
