GUNBOAT
FIRED ON
The Insurgents AttackAWar-
ship With Mauser Rifles
And Are SheIled.
AMMUNITION SCARCE
Among the Insurgents, And
Their Firing BY Night
Has SIackened Up
Considerably.

Q MANILA, Feb. 2S.-The gunboat Cal
lao was fired on by insurgents hidden
in jungle near Malapon yesterday
Dewey was in a small boat at the time,
visiting the Monadnock, which lay in
the vicinity of the firing. The Monad-
mock dropped few shells among the
rebels and the firing stopped.
The above is probably the original
story from which arose the rumOr that
Dewey had sunk German cruiser.l
MANILA, Feb. 2S.-The insurgents
are believed to be running short of am
munition. ss their firing by night has
bean considerably slackened. The
American troops are under orders nev-
er to take the initia i've.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Another
wild rumor that Dewey had fred on
and sunk German cruiser was afoat
in stock market circles today. Naval
officials at the navy department laugh
ed at the story and said such an occur
renee would be speedily made known
to the world from 8 dozen sources.
Manila advices today reported all quiet

HOUSE WILL ACCEPT
Although the German Amend
'ment Is Highly Objection
able To Many Of the
Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-One OF the
hardest fought contests in the history
of the United States senate was closed
last night shortly after seven O'Clock
when the compromise army reorganiz-
alton bill was finally passed.
German of Maryland insisted upon
his amendment that enlistments for
the increased army should not extend
beyond July l, 1901. The amendment
held up the bill for several hours, and
some fears were expressed that it would
defeat the bill. At last, however, the
amendment, slightly modified. was &C
cepted and the bill was passed.
There is every indication this morn
ing that the house will pass the army
bill in practically the same shape as it
went through the senate last evening.
Some republican leaders in the lower
brauch do Lot sanction the German
amendment, but they realize that If an
extra session Is to be avoided they will
have to accept the terms the senate de-
mands.
From now until Saturday noon busi-
ness will be pushed in order to prevent
the failure of some of the annual ap-
preparation bills. Congress will pro-
badly sit clear through Friday night.

Valentine Burned This Morninq,

VALENTINE, Texas, Feb, %; special
to the HERALD,-The G., H, & S. A.
roundhouse at this point was totally
destroyed by fire at an early hour this
morning, The fire was not discovered
by the night watchman until the flames
reached high into the air.
An alarm was given and the citizens
of this small place turned out and
fought the flames the best they could
but to no avail. The fire had gained
too great headwsy and the building
and it's contents was entirely con-
sumed.
Engines No. 913 and S14 were
rendered useless by the flames and it is
doubtful if they will ever be fit for SER
vice again. Engine 913 is the one
which bad recently been fixed up by
the G. 81. & S. A. company for fast SER
vice on this division.
The cause of the fire is as yet un-
known but thorough investig is

THE CERAMIC CLUB,
A Delightful Talk BY Miss Ruth
WinterbOthdm

"The Ruth Winter botham Ceramic
club of Ell Paso" was the name chosen
for the pottery club at yesterday 3
meeting. No other name was even
suggested as all the members we're anx-
iOus the club should be hOnored with
Miss Winterbotham's name.
This second meeting was held at the
residence of Mrs. J. A. Eddy with q
full attendance. The committees on
constitution and bylaws and on pro-
gram made no report as the time be-
tween this and the previous meeting
had been so short.
Text and reference books suggested
by Miss Winterbotham were ordered.
After all business WAS over Miss
Winterbotham gave one of her de-
lightful impromptu talks. She is most
happy in the faculty of always having
something helpful to offer. Tne ladies
deeply regret that she is not to meet
with them again but are somewhat
co1soled by her promise to help them
even in her absence by sketches and
notes that from time TO time she may
be able to send.

adjourned. This informal social fea :

encouraging than at any other time

turn. His family and friends have re-

about everybody connected with the
sick room, While the doctors admit
that his condition is still grave, there
was indicated feeling of relief.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Kipling's con-
dition took a sudden turn for the worse
this afternoon The doctors at o.
clock issued the following bulletin:
''Mr. Kipline's condition shows no
improvement. He still has symptoms
due to Inflammation of thesupper lobe
of each lung. Delirium and fever con-
tinue.
''DRS. JANEWAY and -DUNHAM."
The word sent from the sick room of
the sudden change in Kipling's condi-
tion was entirely unexpected by the
physicians.

Won't Rccognize Union.

MARQUETTE, Mich, april 3.-The
iron mining companies of Ishpeming
and Negaunee issued bulletins this af-
ternoon saying they will begin hiring
men Tomorrow morning, but union
men who participated in the demon
stration Saturday to force non-unionIsts
into the union will not be hired. This
Drecipitates the threatened strike of the
Marquette range. involving 1000 men,
hut not over 1000 are expected to resist
the companies. The men want the
companies to recognize their union. The
question of wages is secondary. An in
junction was secured at Marquette to-
day which prevents the unionlst3 from
entering the shafts or otherwise intimi-
dating the men or interfering with the
