An Attack Is Imminent.

Manila, July 1, 1O:4O a. MA collision
between the two armies at San Fernando
seems inevitable soon. The insurgents
are active all around the town and can
be seen working in the trenches to
strengthen their position. Day and night
forces are at work. 1t is estimated that
5000 men We're seen marching in the road
north Of town yesterday morning. The
Americans turned out and manned the
defenses, expecting an attack. The SOL
diers sleep in their clothes and breakfast
at o'clock in the morning so as to be
ready for an assault.
The commission Of three Spanish offic-
ers who entered the insurgent lines a
fortnight ago to make a final attempt to
arrange for the release of the Spanish
prisoners, have not returned. Their long
absence has occasioned alarm.
Reports come to Manila that they were
received by Aguinaldo at Tarlac and en-
tertained Hospitality. II is said that Agui-
naldo gave a banquet in their honor, all
the leading families of the rebel leaders
of the present campaign attending hence
the Spaniards in Manila hope that the
mission of the commissioners will be sue
cessful.
General Ovenshine is in the hospital
suffering from fever. General Grant is

The Rebels Made a Sally
Last Evening.
TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS
AS the State of Affairs in the Island
Troops Are Being Recruited at
a Rapid Rate-Prepared For an
Attack.

Manila, July 1.-7:55 p. m.-The rebels
made demonstration at San Ferna ndo
last evening. They took advantage Of
the darkness and rain to make a sally
against the north line for the purpose of
annoying the Americans, as they failed
to push their attack. The American loss
was a private of the Seventeenth regi-
ment killed and four men wounded.
The firing began at 10 and the rebels
expended quantities of ammunition. All
the troops hastened to entrench in expec-
tation of general attack. The 18th, the
18th and the Iowa regiments participated.
in the engagement but did not advance
beyond the outposts. After one hour the
Fiiplnos fired rockets apparently as a
signal to cease firing but there We're. scat
tered shots all night long which kept the
Americans under arms. The enemy's
loss was not discovered but was proba-
bly, small. The Americans were guided
the rebels guns.
The transport Hancock sails for home
tonight with 74O men of the Nebraska
regiment and $50 men Of the Utah artil-
lery.. About thirty of the Nebraskans
and twenty five of the Utahs remain
here, majority Of them re-enlisting. The
Nebraskan troops have been living on
board ship in the harbor this week await
ing the Utahs readiness for departure.
The soldiers enjoyed this immensely at
ter the months stay in the trenches.

FRANK MILES HEARD FROM.
HE rs GOING TO EXPLORE THE COP.
PER RIVER.

Frank Miles who is we'll known all over
the state but whose home is in Butte has
! been heard from. He left last year for
, theKlondike country and was last heard
from playing freeze-out on the warm side
of a glacier. In a letter to a Libby friend,
published in the Libby News, Mr.. Miles
writes:
II have sent Mr. Coram, Capt. Palmer
and Mr.. Williams samples of copper ore
that exists in unlimited quantities in the
coast range, at the head of White river
and Tanana on the American side of the
line, and am going to the coast to out
fit to go into that country Talk about
native copper and ccpper !edges! There
does not seem to be any thing like it any
where else in the world and the copper
belt seems to extend from the head Of the
Copper river to the White Horse rapids
about one thousand miles. The country
is practically uneXplored. The copper
ledges are exposed where the streams and
rivers cut through them. l have explain
ed my plans to the gentlemen above NAM
ed and asked them to reply to Skagway,
Alaska, where / shall go as soon as the
river opens
Mr.. Miles says that he may come back
to Butte on his way out but is not posi-
tive that he will do so as the season is so
very short for prospecting. In closing his
letter Miles makes the following remarks
which will be recognized as characteristic
of him by til those who are we'll acquaint-
ed with his literary style:
II am well and hope to get out of Daw-
son and the Klondike with as good health
as when | came here. | have seen many
and many poor fellow planted in this
eternal frost where he will remain in cold
storage, we'll preserved, until the last
horn toots, when I presume he will have
to be thawed out before they can get a
pair of wings to stick on him and fit him
for playing the harp. ] refrain from say
ing anything about the mining laws and
administration because of the pains and
penalties inflicted upon those who seek to
send pIofane matter through the mails"

Home ENliteness.

1t is significant to observe now some
men fail to know the way to treat their
wives and sisters when they meet them.
1t seems to be too much trouble to lit
their hats or to give their nearest the
courtesy they would freely render any
woman outside Of the domestic circle.
This should not be, and the sooner a
revolution is. accomplished the better.
The ablest and most persuasive treatise
on the etiquette Of the home will not be
able by itself to work the change, al
though it would be helpful towards that
end. What is needed is the right train
ing Of boys and girls. Courteous be-
havior should be enforced by parents in
the same way az other qualities are
taught. One Of the most successful in
structors of the young in our days bears
this testimony; "People complain of the
way children behave, and lay the blame
of their behavior on the day school; but
if they would only make the children do
at home as they are required to do III
school, matters would DO different. They
laugh at the child who lifts his hat, or
saws please or THANK you,' forgetting
that others are trying to make up for
their neglect Of duty" This word 70
season should stir up parents TO sfnse
of the Importance Of cultivating by pre-
cept and example the requirements OF
domastieetiqnette.
