WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE follow

MANILA, June 13.-Adjutant General,

we're engagement today with enemy in
strong intrenchments at crossing of
Zapote river, near Bacoor, 7Cavite prov

loss; our casualties some thirty Insur-
gents in this southern section not, mo-
Tested until they threatened an attack
in strong force on Manila. 4. They are
now scattered and in retreat. Doubtful
if they make further stand. OTIS
The news of the heavy fighting al
most in sight of Manila and adjacent to
the navy yard at Cavite, where Admiral
Dewey landed his forces more than a
year ago, was received with intense in
terest here. 1t is evident to the officials
that the insurgents !, are, either far
stronger than has been realized or that
they have come to the end of their re.
sources and are making this last strug-
gle in sheer desperation. Otherwise ii
is hard to understand why they should
come down to the shore Of the bay and
fight the warships. .* 'isf''

HALTED THE FUNERAL.
Christian Scientists Dia Not Call a
Physician and a Burial Permit
Was Wanting.

Margaret, the 6-months-old child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Reiber, of Carter
street, North Scranton, died Friday
morning from an attack of cholera in
fantum. The child was i'll for a week
previous to it's death, but the services
of q physician were not enlisted.
According TO the statement made to
Coroner Roberts by the mother, the
doctrines of Christian Scientists were
applied in the case, but the healing and
saving powers failed, and death
claimed the innocent child.
The mother explained that during a
recent illness. she became convinced
that physicians killed more patients
than they cured, and discharged her
attending physician.
She Joined the Christian Alliance and
soon recovered. When the child was
first attacked with the disease they
prayed for it's recovery and it survived,
but prayer failed the second time and
the child died.
Owing to its death being peaceful
and without the usual conVusions, the
mother believed that God wanted the
child and would not listen to her
prayerful appeals.
The coroner does not believe in faith
cures, and will hold an inquest. The
funeral was announced for yesterday,
but owing to DR.. Roberts refusal to
grant a burial certificate, it was nee
esSarily postponed. The matter will
he reported to the board of health and
some legal action may be taken in the
case.
Coroner Roberts performed an au-
topsy on the remains last evening and
discovered the cause of death to be
marasmus.
He empanelled the following jury
who viewed the remains last night:
John Morgan, G. A. Williams, Frank
Foster. George w. Davis, Ed Moran
and Morgan Morgans. An inquest will
be held on Thursday evening in the
court house.
Permission to inter the remains has
been given.

DAVID RICHARDS MAY DIE.
olyphant Lad, Who Was choked by
Negro, in a Serious Condition.

II is now feared that David Rich
ards, the 7-year-old boy, of Olyphant,
who was almost choked to death last
Monday by negro circus-hand, is at
the point of death.
1t appears that he was peerlng INTO
the tent of Welsh Bros circus When
n negro attached TO the show accosted
him and placed a rope with slip Knot
around his neck. drawing 1t tightly
and then walking away.
He Law on the ground for some time
before he was picked up and then his
eyes were bulging and he was foaming
at the mouth. His neck and face are
now swollen to abnormal proportions,
His parents are not possessed of suf-
ficient means to follow the perpetrator
of the outrage.

A Brilliant Series of Entertainments.

Scranton will be provided with a
splendid series of FIVE entertainments
this fall and winter by the entertain
ment committee of the Mems Guild OF
St. Luke's Parish. These entertain
ments will be for the benefit of ST.
Iuke's Summer Home for Women and
Children, on which a small debt sun
remains. In arranging the course the
committee wisely chose entertainments
which will appeal to popular tastes,
by being both interesting and anus
ing. The cost of securing the various
attractions is such that the pr0ht TO
accrue to the Home will be compar-
paratively small, but the committee
correctly reasoned that If only first
class attractions were presented, the
patrons would feel a double satisfac-
tion in having both helped a Geserv-
ing cause, and in having received full
value in the way of entertainment for
the money expended. The list of at
fractions is as follows:
General John h. Gordon.
Fred Emerson Brooks.
Willis e. Dudley.
DR. Edison.
HOyt l.. Conary
General Gordon. who will appear
first, needs no introduction to a Scran-
ton audience. His splendid lecture on
THE Last Days of the COnfederacy,
coupled with his brilliant Oratory and
ferVid patriotism, was heard by a
large audience in the Y. NJ. &. a. hall
a year or two ago. 1t is safe to say
that every person in that audience
will want to hear General Gordon
again.
Fred Emerson Brooks. the "Califor-
nian Poet" comes highly endorsed by
such well known public men as Presi-
dent Mckinley, Hon Chauncey Depew
Hon. John Sherman and a host OF
other prominent public men.
Willis +. Dudley is a unique enter
tainer with his illustrated talks on the
Adventures of a Kodak Fiend." I'm.
agina the description of "Kodak
Fiend" following Caesars army or the
Crusaders.
Or. Edison, who was connected with
the United States navy during the late
war with Spain, and whose magazine
articles have been so popular will re.
late the incidents Of the Battle of san.
tiago, as he saw them personally Thi.
lecture is highly endorsed by naval OF,
ficials on account Of its accuracy, and
has delighted large audiences in vari
Gus cities on account of DR.. Edson's
interesting manner of delivering It.
Hoyt l.. ConaTy the last on the list
is regarded as one OF the Creates
mirth provokers Of the day. Hi!
Around the Stove" with character i'm
presentations, is one of the funnies
productions that could be procured.

Fear of the consequences of an ap-
plcation of the Vaughan bill to the
Langstaff- Kelly contest, coupled with
the apathy of the contestant since the
serving of subpoenaes and other rev.
enuc-raising means have been cut off.
has caused the petitioners to club to-
gether and raise a fund of 81 500 to
carry the contest TO termination.
The two score men whose names
adorn the Langstaft petition and who
under the now law, as Attorney I. II.
Eurns interprets It, are liable for the
costs if probable cause for the contest
Is not shown, were summoned to Wade
NJ. Finn's office In the Williams build
ing recently and informed that the
sinews of war had been exhausted and
that If the necessary was not forth
coming the fight would have to drop.
The attorneys in the case gave an es-
innate of what the expenses yet to be
met would likely be and the petitioners
were told that If they did not make
provision to meet them, the contest
would have to be allowed to go by
default.
The petitioners did not hesitate long
In subscribing the required amount.
One of their number stated to a Tri-
bune reporter last night that the
| amount was $1,000. THE rich men who
are on the petition treated us white"
he said. six of us got off for $5
| apiece. Some of them We're assessed as
| high as $3.50 and a number paid $50
I understand that all but two or three
have paid up. If we don't have any
more to pay well be perfectly salts
| fed"
The cost of the contest will run up
to somewhere between $4,000 and
| 100000
Mr.. Langstaff is now in Ohio pre-
pairing to engage in mercantile pur-
suits. Timothy Fadden, engineer at
Storrs' shaft and Select Councilman
! j. j. McAndrew, engineer at the Dia-
mond air shaft are among those men
toned as Mr.. Langstaff's successors in
the position of superintendent OF the
