Made by Filipino Warriors

Very Little.
BARRELS OF WINE

fess Great Friendship For tho
Americans.

Manila, May 10.-The Filipino General
Mascardo's army inspired by wine taken
from storehouses at Bacorlor and by tho
generals oratory on Monday evening at
tackled San Fernando. There was ire
mcndous yelling and great eXpediture Of
cartridges by rebels, but with very little
result General Mascardo holds the out
skirts of BaCorlor, west of the railroad.
In front of his position are the Kansas
and Montana regiments which occupy The
trenches of the Filipinos built in antici-
patton of an attack from the direction OF
the sea.
During the afternoon Monday, Gen Mas
cardo, with a large retinue of officers rode
along the lines, frequently stopping TO
harangue his warriors. AT dusk the de-
tachment of rebels rushed the outposts of
the Montana regiment but was met by IL
hot fire from the Montana regiments line.
The insurgents from the trenches nearly
three miles long responded. After hours
of firing. during which one private soldier
of the Montana regiment was wOundc.i /.
the insurgents subsded. although they
kept scattering their lre throughout the
night. Prisoners brought into American
lines said that Gen. MasCardo diStrihut
ed barrels of wine among the soldiers,
telling them he expected to capture san
Fernando. The trenches undoubtedly saw
cd the Americans from heavy loss, bullets
falling thickly about them.
Gen. LunaS masscd his army east Of tho
railway, bringing up troops by trainloads IN
sight of the American lines. The co.n,ry
between San Fernando and Calumpit Is
filling up with natives who profess great
friendship towards the Americans but whH
are suspected by many If being in SYM
pathy with the insurrecton, A Filipino
connected with American hospital corps
was killed. it is supposed by Amigos.

AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Charles Hall of Madrid. \. Y, Killed by
the Premature Discharge of a Gun.

OCdenShurg. y. y, May "a VoCy sad
death by accidental shooting occurred at
Madrid, near here. to-day. The facts are
as follows: w II. Hall and son. Charles,
went out to farm owned by Mr.. Hall,
about one mile west of Madrid. and be
tween and . o'clock this morning, were
practicing shooting at mark. e'oinin <
tired of that the boy asked his father 10
take his bicycle home as he wanted to go
to the woods. only abou: one-fourth of a
mile south of the house. Ma. Hall took
the wheel homo and on his way heard the
report of the gun but did rot pay any at
tention to it,
The boy did not come home for dinner
and not returning at supper time his IA
ther became anxious and went out 10 the
farm to look for him. People on the farm
had not seen the boy since morning and
so Mr. Hall started in the direction which
the boy had taken in the morning. This
was between 8 and o'clock this evening.
After going south from the house about
forty or fifty rods he came to the second
fence on the south side of which he found
the gun standing against the fence and
on looking over the fence discovered the
body Of the boy. The shot had entered
the left side of the jaw passing out
through the top of his head, In the wound
were found fragments of his coat, which
was torn badly in front on the breast.
1t would appear from the position in
which the gun was found that the boy
| had put the gun over the fence hefoi e
| getting over or after getting on top If the
| fence had placed the gun on the ground
which probably caused the same to dis
I charge. Icath is supposed to have been
instantaneous. He was an only son and
about "a years of age.

Lucky Lewiston" says an OBJ.
server, everything is coming her
way. First, the reservation was
opened, then came the Indian pay
ments, and now the railroads"
Lewiston good fortune can hardly
be called matter of luck. All
these advantages have been in
store for the city since the country
was thrown open to civilization.
The strange thing is, that Lewis.
ton has so long been denied the
benefits that accrue from the adj.
vantages Of her natural location
The city is located at the head Of
navigation at the juncture of two
great rivers, which include the
basin drained by them. a country
almost an empire in extent, rich in
mineral wealth. embracing some
OF the finest agricultural areas oil
the northwest, and including the
greatest timber belt now known in
the Unied States. Sooner or later
this rich, attractive field must be
opened up by railroads seeking tc
convey to market the products o
the country. The time has come
but it is not luck that has brought
the railroads to Lewiston. Rail
roads tapping the interior are, b,
economic laws, obliged to take the
lines OF least resistance. The nat
ural and easy course for railroad
building is along the water grades
Here Lewiston's natural location
comes in TO make her the center O

In her rejoicing over the advent
of railroads, Lewiston must not
overlook the development OF any
one OF her many other natura,
resources. The railroads have
come because of the rich possibil.
tiles of the country, and now that
they are come the energies of the
country should be directed TO de.
veloping these resources. The
present late and short hot season
has directed our attention to the
fact that the country to the south
OF the city could be materially
aided if it could be given water at
such a critical time as we have
had this season. A big scheme for
irrigation for the country living
between Tammany and Lewiston
has long been prospected. 1t has
been determined by accurate sur.
veys that this plan is perfectly
feasible; that the waters draining
IRON the Craig mountain water
shed could be diverted into the
Sweetwater, and brough, by con-
venient ditch to supply the needs
OF the country mentioned. All.
