Washington was thrown into the
deepest gloom on Tuesday afternoon
by a telegram from the War Depart

rowful was the family of Jacob Cline,
Sr., when the mournful, but heroic
death of the son was learned. The
mother is almost distracted with grief.
and it is difficult for her to reconcile
herself to the great loss which she has
sustained. The father feels the loss no
less harder to bear than his wife. but
said: Il know my boy died fighting
bravely, and among those as brave as
himself, and as hehad many friends
there in life, he will be we'll cared for
in his DEATH" There has nothing &C.
CURED in Washington for years that
caused such widespread sorrow and
mourning as the news of the death of
young Cline. He had spent almost his
entire life here, and was known to al
most every citizen of the place Before

was a member Of the Washington fire
department, and was also for some
time engineer at the carbon works.
There is much uneasiness here in re-
gard to the safety of the brave boy= in
company H, in the Philippines, and as
the fighting continues, and as the
Tenth Pennsylvania is in the front of
the battle, each day is expected to
