ported by the Weather Bureau.

Climate and Crop Of the Weather Bu-
reau. California section, for the week
ending Monday, June 10, 1890:
Continued high temperatures has pre-
vailed in the great valleys during the
week, and the average for the state has
been considerably above the normal. A
light norther occurred In the Sacrament
TO valley on the 18th, but no material
damage was reported. Grain and de-
ciduous fruits were benefited by the
warm weather, and are ripening rapidly.
Harvesting is in progress i'll the San
joaquin and Sacramento valleys. In
some sections the yield of wheat is re-
ported as in excess of ef0ier estimates,
and the general output thus far appears
to be above the average. Barley is also
yielding well, though rather inferior in
qrality in certain localities. A large
crop of hay, generally of excellent quail
ity, has been harvested. Deciduous
fruits are becoming plentiful. The yield
of peaches will be far above the average.
Apricots will be light crop. Vineyards
are in excellent condition. and fair
crop of grapes will be gathered if later
conditions are favorable. Walnuts are
making good growth. Sugar beets In
tho extreme south are reported as being
light, owing to scanty rainfall.

The Philippines.

A cable from Manila, dated June lS,
says: This afternoon the advance in the
direction of Bakoor was resumed and it
developed into what turned out to be the
hardest fight since the outbreak of hos
tilities with the Filipinos. As told to
General Otis by General Pho del Pillars
secretary, who deserted from the insur-
gents a few days ago, the bridge across
the Zapote river was selected by the
rebels as posnt at which they would
attempt to prevent any further advance
of the American forces. 1t was here
that the natives during the rebellion
against Spain destroyed an e,Stire Span
ish battalion of 800 men. and this after
noon they made most determined stand
but were not able to hold their position.
Our troops went forward with rushes,
cheering as they went ahead under
heavy fire.
A mornings reconnaissance had de-
termined accurately the enemy's pos
ition and consequently the American
troops We're employed to the best adj
vantage. Early in the afternoon a bat
tailion Of the Ninth regular Infantry at
tempted to re-enforce companies of the
Twenty first infantry, who were hold
ing their own against largely superior
numerical force between the road from
Los Pinos TO Bakoor and Manila bay.
The attempt was rendered fruitless,
however, by the tide, which in rising
mad 90 flooded the mud flats and swamps
that it was impossible for the men of
the Ninth to cross them,
The main work was the direct attack
on the bridge. The rebels had dug en-
ormous trenches along the Bakoor side
OF the river and had burned the planlzing
in the middle of the bridge to prevent
the Americans from charging across and
taking their positions. The Amel leans
pushed steadily forward until they
reached the bank of the river. Then
keniey took his mountain guns right up
to the approach q the bridge and poured
heavy fire into the trenches. Our men
were so close TO the enemy that they
could see their heads above the earth
works.
After the fighting was over General
Lawton said that it was more like war
than anything he had seen since he had
been in the Philippines. The American
troops win rest tonight along the river
and will probably advance on Bakoor to-
morrow. The casplties ON our side to-
day were five killed or mortaily wounded
and about twenty wounded, including
three officers General Wheaton was
seriously hart by falling from his horse.
General Overshine commanded the at
tack on the bridge. General Lawton
personally directed the movement. The
latter was q conspicuous mark for the
enemy.
All the afternoon the guns of the fleet
kept up heavy shelling of the woods
ahead of Lawton's advance. Ensign
Davis of the Helena came ashore with a
Colt rapid fire gun and saw lively SER
vice. He captured Filipino cannon
which had been placed below the bridge,
and found a supply of canister shot and
brown hexagonal powder.
