Pittsburgh man of a fellow-traveler on the

well, no; can't say it's growing was
the reply; mot growing to speak Of; but
t'You mean that the people are assuming
a higher standard?"
81 do, sir; yes, sir. We now get bananas
every day from Cincinnati, and five out
of six groceries keep shredded Goldfish and
limburger cheese. We don't look for any
building boom or influx of strangers, but
we'll hold our own and gradually work up
to electric doorhells and oysters on the half

IS WANTED IN WISCONSIN.

Ex-Treasurer Of Marathon County Cap
tured. IA e-
TACOMA, WASH, March 23.-Sherif
Vogtlin of Mason county has arrested
John Carlson Berg, ex-treasurer OF
Marathon county, Wis, an alleged de-
faulter. Last September, when accused
of the embezzlement of $4,000, Berg
confessed his guilt, it is said, and prom
ised, if given few days time, to make
his shortage good. His previous stand
ing had been above reproach and the
board of supervisors was disposed to be
lenient. Berg was accordingly given
the requested grace. but instead OF en-.
deavoring to raise the amount of his
shortage he took train for the West, it
is alleged, leaving his bondsmen to
settle.
"A few days ago it was learned that
Berg was working in a shingle mill at
Matlock under the name of John Carl
son. He had been at Matlock since
Oct. ~, and at the time of his arrest
was drawing a salary as engineer Of the
mill. Berg says he will return to Wis
consin without the formality of requisi-
tiOn papers.

obstacles, are pressing steadily and
surely forward, driving the Filipinos
when they make stand. The nature
of the territory may prevent an advance
as rapid as that now expected, but the
belief here is that 4S hours, at the lat.
est, will see the natives in their last de-
fenses at Malolos and will witness the
charge that will carry the native cap
ital and the Stars and Stripes floating
over the seat Of Aguinaldo's republic.
First Plans Abandoned.
1.-THE original attempt to hem in the
insurgents has been entirely abandoned.
The plan was not failure, but the ma
ture of the territory covered by the op-
srations prevented it's consummation.
In it's stead General" Macarthur has
adopted a policy of steady advances,
carrying defenses by charge where it
is necessary, but, in the main, keeping
his men under cover and protecting
them wherever possible. The effect of
this is shown in the lower mortality.
The rebels are now in full retreat, burn
Ing villages and destroying trenches as
they retire. The Americans in their
| trenches to the north of Polo and Mala-
bon are waiting for daylight to resume
the attack" ~

BERLIN, March 29.-The correspon-
dent here of the Associated Press has
learned on the highest authority at this
capital the following explanation of a
feature of the Samoan question which
has lately arisen. On the report that
the American government had cabled
to its admiral at Samoa, to act in ac-
cordance with the decision of two out
OF three representatives of the powers,
the German government made earnest
representation to the American ambas-
sador here, Andrew White, that the
Berlin treaty requires the concur.
renee Of the three powers, and
called attention to the dam
gers which were sure to arise
if there was anything like violation Of
the treaty. The American government
made a>frank and conciliatory answer,
which has caused much satisfaction
here. 1t recognized the necessity for
unanmity upon the part of all three
powers under the treaty, as a condition
of any settled policy or permanent .ac-
ton and declared the admiral was only
authorized to act in agreement with a
majority of the representatives OF the
powers in a case Of emergency which
absolutely does not admit OF delay,
But, in such case, the ratification o.
adjustment by the unanimous vote d
the three powers must be sought at tht
first possible moment, and no perman'
ent arrangement can be made withou
such unanmity.

SATURDAYS FIGHTING.

Lose Heavily.

Third Artillery and Oregon Regiment
Lose Heavily.
MANILA, March 27.-At a. m. an ad-
vance was begun all along the lines
from San Juan de Monte to Caloocan.
The entire division under General Mac
Arthur was engaged in the movement,
the brigades being commanded by Gen
erals Harrison G. Otis, Hale, Hall and
Wheaton. t|..
The Nebraska and Colorado volunteer
regiments encountered the first strong
resistance. This was at San Francisco
del Monte and in the surrounding
trenches. The cavalry outfanked the
enemy, who broke and ran, suffering a
severe loss. But the enemy made a
stubborn stand in the woods north Of
the Lalomac church..
.As..a.. Enemy Kept UP u Steady Fire. ...
The Twentieth Kansas and Tenth
Pennsylvania, regiments, with the Mon
tana volunteers on the left, protected by
the Utah battery, advanced over the
open rice fields. The enemy, strongly
entrenched in the woods, kept up a
steady fire until the Americans were in
close quarters. Then the rebels fled
through the woods under raging fire.
General Hale's brigade was soon fol-
lowed by General Harrison G.. Otis
brigade. The insurgents opened fire on
our right. Our advance was over open
ground for a mile and a half. The
Third artillery, at the apex on which the
line was to turn, got the hardest fight
ing. It was in a perfect hell during the
mile and half, and lost per cent of
its men.
Crossed the River Under Fire.
The Third artillery crossed the river
an hour and a half before any Of the
other troops. Later the Kansas volun.
teers came up on our left and crossed
the river under fire. They lost eight
men. They found 81 dead Filipinos on
the bank. The insurgents stopped firing
when our doctors went forward to get
the Filipino wounded.
On the left, toward the sea, Wheaton's
brigade pounded it's way through three
series Of insurgent trenches. The Ore
gon regiment lost at least 40 men. 1t
was great fight.
The insurgents fought we'll. Our
oss was the greatest in the campaign
n proportion to the number of troops
