We'll, it was aboard ship al Tampa l

called roast beef. I asked what was the
matter and he said he could not eat it.

heard that complaints were being made
on all sides. Then l made inquiries, and

the regular ration, and that the rations
were complained of. spoke to Col. Wood

a covering of slime. 1t was unattractlVe.
The meat was stringy, ana 1t dld not

the large proportion was bad.

A Cable From Otis.

following cablegram, received at the war
department this morning:
Manila. March 25.-MacArthur, with
two brigades, commenced an advance on
Novaliches, northwest of Caloocan, in the
center of the insurgent lines, at day
break this morning, advancing rapidly
and successfully and suffering little.
From Novaliches, Macarthur will swing
to the left and strike on Polo. The bri-
gades fronting on Caloocan will press
forward at the proper time. Halls bri-
gade, on the old line north of Pasig, is
demonstrating west of the pumping sta
ton. The enemy is 10000 strong on the
lines. I am endeavoring to take a frac-
ton in reverse. "OTIS."
1t was stated at the war department
that the expression of Gen. Otis, "am
endeavoring to take a fraction in re-
verse;" means that while ostensibly MAX
ing feint al the front that he intends to
swing to the rear and attack the enemy
on the left.
In computing the time at Manila when
the battle began, it is said that the battle
has been in progress more than "a hours.
War department officials do not at
tempt to conceal their belief that the
fighting has been very severe, and that
the American losses are no doubt quite
heavy. r.

FIERCE FIGHTING
is GOING ON

New York, March 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Reports were received here last night
Of fierce fighting at Manila Up to "a late
hour there had been received nothing
from Gen. Otis or Admiral Dewey, but
the rumors were persistent, and the war
department officials We're disposed to
credit them. 1T has been known for some
days that Gen. Otis had been preparing
for a final attack on the rebels position
north of the city. Gen. LawtOn's flying
column, it was said. has been Withdrawn
from Pasig and Laguna de Bay and
placed as a reserve for Gen. Macarthur S
division. In the movement it was ex-
pected that Gen. H. G. Otis briga de
would lead. No anxiety exists as to the
result, although great loss of life is
feared.

announcement is made mere on what is
considered reliable authority that w s.
Stratton has sold his Independence mine
to an English syndicate, and is now on
his way to England to complete the deal.
The price is not known, but as two eX-
perts. after a thorough examinat ton of
the property last December, estimated
the ore in sight a $6,G00,000, it is assumed
that the selling price is greater than was
ever paid for Colorado mine. Mr.. STRAIT

of the independence, and for the past

camp fires, their buglers called to arms.
At daylight Gen. Otis and Gen. Halls
brigades advanced from Laloma church
straight through the rebel lines, cutting
the enemys force in two.
Upon this occasion the rebels adopted
| the Americans tactics Of holding their
fire until the attackers We're about 1000
yards distant The rebels also fired
longer than usual.
The Americans fired volleys with ter
rife effect, and then rushed forward,
cheering and carrying everything before
them. Once through, Gen. MacArthur's
division was swung through the iine,
driving the rebels away on all sides.
Gen. Wheaton's brigade, in accordance
with Instructions, remained in the
trenches. Before joining in the move
ment at noon, Gen. Wheaton's troops de-
veloped a strong opposition between Mall

trenched towns.

of Gen. Otis and Gen. Hale's brigades,
was moving along south of the river in a
position to attack either Novaliches or
Polo, being within two miles of Nova
liches and five miles from Polo.
Gen. Halls brigade moved to Balac,
protecting Gen. Hale's right meeting
with strong opposition.
The Oregon regiment and part of the
Utah battery. under Lieut.. Gibbs, held
the extreme left.

GOOD AS A GUIDE BOOK.
Now Mrs. Barnes Succeeded in silencins
n Bore.

People who have travelled are apt to
think that their conversation should con-
sist largely of descriptions of the diff
fereut places they have visited. Mr..
Horatio Barnes and his friend, Mr..
Smith, had passed a year in Europe and
had not been at home very long before'
Mrs. Barnes began to look upon Mr.,
Smiths frequent visits at the house as a
kind of infiction, says the Youths Com
pdniOn. No one were the two men
seated than they began to descant upon
the glories of Paris or the beauties Of
some other foreign city. Mrs. Barnes
had never been abroad, but she was a
woman who had read widely and could
converse acceptably and she decided
that for the present she had heard
enough about her husbands travels.
No doubt you enjoyed CordovaP" she
remarked one evening, when the gen.
tlemen had reached Spain in the course
of their "ireside travels"
ooh. certainly, Mrs. Barnes. Small
place, but interesting" answered Mr..
Smith, briskly.
"The scenery there must have delight
ed you and if you visited any Of the
homes of the nobility you were doubt
less impressed by the number Of beauti-
full paintings on their walls. Why, in
one salon in Cordova there are pictures
by Alonzo Cano, Murillo, Corot,
Landellc and Bouguereau."
"Yes?" responded Mr.. Smith. well,
l don't seem to recall much about the
town only the trouble we had in getting
there"
II suppose you liked Madrid betterP"
remarked Mrs. Barnes. :
YES; Madrid, as you know, is Q
famous city" 9,
Certainly. You doubtless remember
Pradilla's wonderful painting of Queen
Juana, which is owned by The city?"
NO." replied Mr.. Smith, briefly. And
he looked al Mrs. Barnes in undisguised
establishment as she continued to praise
or c~riticise the attractions OF foreign
cities, asking Mr.. Barnes his opinion Of
the several modes of travel between
| places of interest and speaking familiar
Nv of different continental hotels.
Mr.. Smith finally ~endeavored to
change the subject, but Mrs. Barnes in
sisted on pointing out to the two gentle
men how little they had really seen, ex-
planning carefully the wonderful paint
ings they had missed and the famous
localities they had left unvisited. At
last at a somewhat later hour than usual
Mr.. Smith took his departure, with an
inward vow never to introduce the sub
ject of foreign travel again.
"When were;you abroad, my dearp"
Mr.. Barnes asked, as soon as his friend
had disappeared.
Never" was the smiling reply, "but
we have several guide-books in the
house and l decided that as you and
Mr., Smith preferred to talk out of them
| would talk, too. l have read them
very carefully and I presume many Of
your friends have enjoyed the same
privilege"
II hope not" said Mr.. Barnes, but
the ingenious reproof had the desired
result.

before it was officially adopted as a
Christian festival; nor was it until
after the fifth century that the day
of its celebration became permanently
fixed on the 25th of December. Up to
that time it had been ~irregularly OBJ
served at various times OF the year
in December, in April and in May, but
most frequently in January.
