out to locate the enemy. The party
had pushed long way forward
without trouble and were on he
point of returning, when the Filipinos
appeared from ambush on one side and
fred into them. One of the ponies
was killed, dismounting Private Davic-
XII and wounding Private Whittier. All
hurried to shelter, some 500 yards
away, across a deep stream, and it
was not until the party had reached it
that it was discovered Private Davicki
had been left behind. Without mo-
ment's hesitation Corporal Reno dash
ed after him, dismounted, placed Da-
vicki in the saddle and brought him in
safely to his companions. Reno ran
alongside of the pony, his hand on the
stirrup. The Fllipinos maintained a
heavy fire, but the two crossed the
stream and rejoined their party with
out injury.
What makes the case more noticea-
BILE is that Reno was raw recruit, Sc
lected by Lieutenant Carson to act as
corporal because of his intelligent
looks. Lieutenant Carson was highly
pleased at the bravery displayed by his
protege.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Informa-

sistant Postmaster General Shallenber-
yer from one of our postal agents in
the east regarding deed of heroIsm
which has so far passed unnoticed IN
this country. 1t was performed during
the early part of February, near Manila,
and the correspondent of The emma
Manila, of Hong Kong, said that had
the hero, Corporal Reno, been an Eu'
elish officer, he would probably have
received the iron cross, which is the
highest honor in the power OF queen
Victoria to bestow for valor IN the
face of the enemy.
A troop of the Fourth United States
cavalry was stationed on the south
side of Manila at the time mentioned,
under command of Lieutenant Carson.
The troop had been doing excellent
service in reconnoitering work. One
day party of the men, under com,
mand of Lieutenant Boyd, were sent

What are our young Hawaiians

plant over the everla'ting imports-

We notice recently that young Ha-
waiians are brought into court
charged with embezzlement. Two
inst ances we're brought to our spe-
cial attention yesterday. The young
fellows, strapping young men they
were, had shipped" for services to
au inter-island steamer They had
given their age az Fl years, and ac-
cepted an advance" and were per-
fectly willing to go on board and
do their duty as sailors. Their
fathers or guardians heard about
the matter, rushed to the authori-
ties and proved that the boys we're
only l8 or 10 years of age. The
advance" had been spent, and the
shipping master to protect himself
had the boys arrested. The fathers,
who evidently prefer to see ne boys
loafing and playing Russian war
than making an honest living, paid
the advance" back and the boys
were allowed to go. One Of them
stated that he was told by the ship.

because "hands" were wanted at all
hazards. Even il the st amship

We take special pleasure in pub
fishing 10 this issue the semi-annual
report Of DR.. Sloggett, the surgeon
in charge OF the Honolulu Eye aud
Ear In6rmary. This institution has
proven boon to the community
and, it is to be hoped, will continue
its excellent work aud eventually
add other branches to its present
mission. 1t is true that we are greatly
in need OF hospital for incurables
but that is matter which reslly
should be looked after by the gov
ernment. DR.. Sloggett and his as
sociates have taken upon their own
shoulders the task of establishing
an infrmary where the two most
delicate organs OF the human body
can be attended to, and the institu-
tion has been equipped with all the
instruments that modern science
has devised for saving the sight and
hearing OF man. We wish to express
to DR.. Sloggett and his associates
our best wishes for success and the
thanks Of the many people who have
heen successfully treated at the La
Urinary. There is no necessity for
people to go to San Francisco for
treatment of eyes aud ears in the
future. Az good a medical treat
ment can now he secured at the In
Urinary and the difference in ex.
pense may be of great Importance
to the manv whose purses are slim
by whose eyes and ears are sore and
weak.
