A Saturdays cable dispatch from
Manila says: The rebels made de-
monstration at San Fernando last
evening. They took advantage of the
darkness and rain to make rally
against the north lines, seemingly for
the purpose of annoying the Ameri-
cans as they failed to push their work.
The American loss was a private OF
the Seventeenth regiment killed and
four wounded.
The fighting began at 10 O'Clock and
the rebels expended quantities of am
munition. All the troops fastened to
the trenches in expectation of general
attack. The Seventeenth regiment,
the Twelfth regiment and the Iowa
regiment participated in the engage
msnt, but did not advance beyond the
outposts. After an hour the Filipi-
nos fred rockets, apparently a signal
to cease firing, but there were scatter
ing shots all night long, which kept
the Americans under arms.
The enemy's loss was not discovera,
BILE, but was probably small. The
Americans were guided in their shoot
ing only by the flashes of the rebels
rifles.

Device for Reducing High Temperature

DoViCo iOT IhcuuCiH8
A recent inventor has devised a
scheme for sprinkling town with the
help of balloons, which carry up into
the air long hose pipes connected with
the fire plugs on the ground. This is
for the purpose of engendering cool
ness, and the same object is sought by
another genius, who proposes to erect
in various parts of the city very tall
skeleton towers, to the tops of which
large bombs filled with carbonic acid
will be run up for explosion by an
electric spark. OF course the carbonic
acid, expanding in the form of vapor,
will chill the surrounding atmosphere,
thus giving relief to the heat-oppressed
community below. An idea that is
even now used in many factories to
cool the air iu the buildings, is to
throw spray of cold water into room
until the air is supersaturated, and
then to force the air thus cooled
through the other rooms.

Ancient Gold Mines in Africa.

Many interesting evidences of an
cient mining are being discovered in
the South African gold fields. These
ancient miners used metal tools for
working soft grounds, and the remains
have been found of small furnaces for
sharpening their tools. They also un-
derstood the use of fire for disinte-
grating the gold bearing rock, but their
knowledge of mining was extremely
limited, especially when contrasted
with the scientific methods of the pres
ent day.

UNION AND NON-UNION MEN FIGHT
Torch Applied 90 Houses and All Burned

Torch Applied 81 Houses and All Burned
to the Ground.
A Saturdays special from Carbon
dale. ILL.,, says. Union City, named
from the fact that it i. occupied by
union miners, was the scene of bat.
tie last night about midnight, and as .
result, the town is in ruins. The
non-union negroes and other naen EN-
ployed by Brush at his mines near
Fredonis, incensed over the killing OF
the negro yesterday, went to the
camp which consists OF nine houses
and opened fire on the union miners,
which was at once returned.
The battle ragged until the union
miners ran from their homes and took
refuge in clump of timber, close to
the village. The non-union miners at
once applied the torch to the houses
and all were burned to the ground.
The men had destroyed all property
previously occupied by the union men.
They then moved on to the woods
and until daylight the fusilade was
kept up. No lives have SO far been
reported lost in the engagement.
The union miners have been rein
forced and the outcome may be long
drawn battle.
Sheriff Gray, of Williamson county,
telegraphed Governor Tanner last
night asking for troops and 200 rifles,
saying he was powerless to quell tie
riot.
