hospital.
"Our men crossed the bridge and drove out
the rebels. "A few days later Harrington
took his men to the front and after a hard
march stopped for supper at 5 o'clock. He
sat down, leaned against a bank of earth
and waited for the mess call. He did not
respond when the call came, so the men
went to look for him. They found him
leaning back, his head resting on his breast,
with his rifle lying by his side, a corpse.
He had fallen asleep and a stray Mauser
bullet passed through his neck, killing him.
Next morning 1 sent this personal message
to Young at Manila hospital: Harrington
died at 5 o'clock last night

chief surgeon in the hospital at Manila this

Rescued a Landing Party

Lieutenant Emory Winship of the gunboat
Bennington is a hero of the Luzon war and
carries five Filipino bullets in his person as
a certificate of courage. He is now at bis
home in Washington, where the doctors are
gradually extracting the bullets.
The dashing lieutenant became a target
for the natives shortly after the lombard
ment of Malabon last March. He was one
Of a naval party sent out to examine and
take photographs of the earthworks, to de-
termine the effect of the shells thrown by
the war ships. 1t was believed at that
time that the hostiles had all vacated that
part of the shore, so permission was given
to land a party. Several boats with be-
tween 125 and $50 men started ashore and
on landing made for an old church, which
was the chief object of interest.
A false idea Of security led them to adj
vance very carelessly, throwing out no ad-
vance and taking nothing but their side
arms. Only a boat guard of two men under
Winship was left to keep up steam in the
launch, but fortunately the launch had a
small automatic gun mounted forward and
Winship was well acquainted with it's work.

In a Filipino Theater

Notwithstanding the demand for native
patriots to prevent ennui in the American
camp, enough Of them remain in Manila to
chase dull care away" by running a theater.
1t is much more comfortable than being
chased by Uncle Sans troopers. And they
enjoy it. "a correspondent of the Chicago
Record, who took in a two-hour section of
the continuous performance, beginning at 4
p. M, tells about it in a CHEEKY way. 1.-THE
show he writes, was conducted in
a large nipa building that stands beside
our road into the city on Cervantes street.
Passing in at the gate. an enclosure was
found where were booths, at which, disposed
for sale, were bottles of pop and of so-called
lemonade, cigarettes, sweets of various
kinds-or. as they are called in Spanish,
dulces, that word including all forms Of
sweets, candies, desserts and the like.
"There were bellies and beaux and the
beaux presented the bellies with necklaces
of tube roses and rose geranium leaves
skillfully strung on thread and making a
pretty band. but when they were all as
sembled the odor of the flowers was too
much like a funeral to be cheerful. The
women's clothes were immaculate, starched
stiff and looking as fresh and neat as pos
sible; their neck handkerchief are their
pride and are bordered with lace, said In
many cases to be very valuable. One girl

Heroic Work of Scouts

Major Grant Of the Utah battery, now at
the Presidio, related to San Francisco re-
porters a dramatic story of the Philippine
campaign and its tragic ending. 1t is a
story of intrepid courage of Colonel Young's
scounts under the leadership of a civilian
volunteer, who went to the front just to
help the boys The facts were related to
Major Grant by General Lawton, as follows:
Soon after leaving Malolos we entered

day was ready for business. During the
campaign these men did gallant service.
They would leave camp with only rifles, can
teens and ammunition and be gone some
times four days. On the way to San Isidro
the enemy had crossed the river on our ap-
proach and fired the bridge. Then Young's
scouts showed their metal. Brave fellows
waded into the water on either side Of the
bridge, and using campaign hats to dip
up water, they put out the fire on the bridge,
while Young and a man named Harrington,
his lieutenant, armed only with big army
revolvers, stood in plain sight on the bridge
covering their men. The brave officers held
the bridge amid a storm of bullets, till
finally Young fell, shot through the knee.
Harrington ran to the wounded leader and
with a pistol in each hand stood over the
fallen man, shooting at the Filipinos who
tried to pick him off. He held his position
