The IEorottes' Attack On the War
hhip MonndnOck.

Sergeant King, in the Minneapolis Messenger)
War at best is hell. After the thin veil
of glamour, frenzy, and glory is drawn
aside there is nothing left save the bleach
/ ing skeletons and the desolate homes. In
battle there is the screech of shells and
the dull report of their explosion, the
thunder of field pieces, sending pounds of
| solid steel toward an enemy; there is the
! rattle of small arms, like the roll of dis
tan drums, the binding smoke the sing
ing of Mausers and the hum of Remlng-
tons; there Is the chatter of affrighted
monkeys, the seedlings of parrots. the
howls of sinking ours, and then in the
wake of the victors, arise the smoke and
flame of burning huts. Add to this pam
demonium the hoarse yells of the combat
ants, the cries of homeless women and
children, the groans of the wounded, the
set faces of the dead. and one may have
faint conception of a small engagement
in a tropic land.
During the first engagement, while the
company was firing at will into the woods
ahead a forlorn water buffalo, the national
! beast of burden, meandered into the rice
| field directly in front of the line. The
writer Immediately directed his fire to-
ward the buffalo with no apparent result
Afterward. during lull in the firing, We
] shamefully confessed to having wasted
our strength in this ignoble manner, and
were surprised to learn that every man
had done likewise. At all events the
beast made good its escape for it patiently
! plodded ahead until the timber swallowed
| it up.
During the charge at Caloocan frenzied
pig of dimunitiye size dashed from beneath
bamboo hut. and, apparently judging
| that all the commotion was for his b ne
| fit thought best to retire. AS the pig
dashed past the writer We gently assisted
with shove from the butt of our gun and

saw four or FIVE soldiers in hot pursuit of

scene becomes ludicrogs in the extreme

CHEAP WATCHES.
Two Million One-DoIIar Timers NOV,
in Use.
(From the New York SUM

(FrOm the New YORK sun.
About 725. 600 dollar watches were sold by
a single firm of manufacturers last year.
The same firm estimates that the sale for
this year will reach a million. This is
a pretty good advance from the figures OF
1894, the first year that the dollar watch
really dawned upon the country. The firm
sold 10000 that year. The price of the
watch is surprising enough, but the really
astonishing thing about it is the fact that
a guarantee goes with the timepiece. A
dollar watch is one thing. A guaranteed
dollar watch is another. The agreement is
as follows: The makers agree that If.
without abuse this watch fails to keep
good time, they will, upon its return to
them, direct or through agents named
above, within one year from above date,
repair or replace it with a new one"
What do you mean by good timer
asked the reporter.
well, that depends good deal on the
man who buys the watch. Not what We
mean by it, but what the purchaser con-
siders good time. Some men are more par

mo. There is rarely watch. no matter
how expensive it may be, that keeps alb

watches varies, say more taan a minute
a day, we will make it right or replace
it with a new one"
''How can so cheap a watch be made?'

machinery designed for the manufacture
of all the different parts of the watch. The

A most distressing accident befell boat
load of Igorrotes not long since. 1t was in
this wise: The monitor Monadnock lies
just Off Malabon, and at night lights up
the whole country with its searchllght.
The wild men did not exactly admire this
method of competing with the sun, so be-
thought themselves of a plan to capture
the floating fort. Accordingly a large row.
boat was procured and speedily filled with
aggregation of these patriots. Having ap-
preached within leo yards. the barbarians
discharged a voley OF steel-tipped arrows
and waited patiently in the hope OF seeing
the ship sink. The Monadnock discharged
3-inch gun in return. So far, three arms,
two wisdom teeth, parts of four legs. and
piece of wood have been recovered. 1t
is feared that some of the natives were
killed.
At Caloocan the rebels had mounted two
monstrous muZZle-l loading guns captured
in former time from the Spanish. They
attempted to fire one of these. with direful
results. The Americans collected the re-
mains of twenty rebels killed by the eX-
posion of the gun. The insurgents had
not the courage to fire the remaining can
non, which was loaded and primed when
Caloocan was captured. The natives had
loaded the gun with a complete curiosity
shop. The cannon was filled with scissors,
knives. COAL pieces! of brick nails, a piece
of rubber hose, and, to crown all. large
quantity of hoop iron had been driven into
the muzzle so tightly that 1t was necessa-

and also quantity of dynamite. No Won

1t Is generally admitted that the earliest
mosaics in Italy date from about so B. c..
and there can be no doubt that in many
cases they were reproductions, or, at all
events, traditions of famous pictures. In
the case before us the sketch of the Areo
pagus, concerning the identity of which
there can be no doubt in the mind of any
one who knows the spot even in its present
state, displays the Greek origin of the
work. and the scene depicted must either
be some celebrated discussion on Mars

group of one of the Attic schools OF
thought such as might be seen there any
day. At any rate. sketch Of the Areo-
pagus which is recognizable at the end of
the nineteenth century is no mean treas
ure. and we are encouraged to hope that
one or the other of the archaeological
schools of Athens may be able to throw
some light on the subject of this inter-
esting mosaic.
1t is not thought likely that the DAG
quino excavations will produce other OBJ

Mr.. White, the United States Ambassa-
dor TO Germany, has this week Joined in
the chorus of approval of the Anglo Rus
sian agreement, but the more the agree
ment is submitted TO close scrutiny tere
the less are its advantages apparent. 1t
seems to confirm the Impression that the
British Ministry really have no policy
in China Their first sheet-anchor, namely,
the maintenance of the integrity of the
Chinese Empire, is weakened by the fact
that Russia now holds Manchuria, England
asserting Their second contention was
for the policy of the open door, yet nobody
pretends that the new Anglo Russian
agreement will secure an open door to
Manchuria, or that Russia, and even more
certainly France. is not likely to close the
door against British and American traders
in China, as France has done, despite
treaties and pledges, in Madagascar.
Already cargoes between Russian ports in
Europe and Russian ports in Chinese
waters may be carried only in Russian
bottoms. Finally, the British Government
has clung to policy of spheres of in
terest or, as Lord Salisbury now calls
them, spheres of operations, taking the
Russia. Yet the Anglo Russian agreement
seemingly leaves the Russo Belgian
French interests in control of the Pekin-
Hankow Railway within the Russian
sphere.
