AN AMERICAN PLATFORM.
1t Will Be Adopted by Porto Ricans
Who Decide to Organize u Re-
publican Party.

San Juan de Porto Rico, March %
The leaders of the radical party have
decided to organize republican party
in Porto Rico with thoroughly Amer
lean platform. They will endeavor to
unite all factions. The platform will
be submitted at a meeting to be held
to-day, and it will indorse the policy
of President Mckinley, will pledge
fidelity to the American flag, hail the
prospect of annexation to the United
States, express the belief that the
Porto Rico courts can be trusted with
the civil government of the island. but
will declare willingness to await the
action of congress-. The platform will
also favor free suffrage, public schools,
reform in taxation, free trade with the
United States, the esta blishment of a
gold basis for the currency, the Amer
lean system for the judiciary, and will
pledge the party to lend every effort
towards civilization and to teach the
inhabitants to become loyal tc the
United States.

MISSING VACANCIES
There Was Box Of Them and They
We're Held by the Agent
for Charge1.

A short time since quite discussion arose
among the officials of one of our prominent
southern railroads as to the reason of The
many vexatious delays and troubles in the
Transmission of local freight. 1t was claimed
by some Of the parties interested that It was
caused almost entirely by the stupidity or
lnetticlency of the local agents, and as there
was some difference Of opinion on this point.
1t was decided that the matter should be-
tested.
To this end a tracer was prepared in due
and formal shape, calling for the where
abouts of Zone Box of Post-holes," which il.
alleged was missing from prior shipment.
This was sent out in the regular order Of
business, with nothing except its internal
nothingness" to draw attention to its un-
usual character, and passed agent after
agent without eliciting comment or informa-
Ton save the stereotyped Endorsement:
"Not here"
Some Is or Is local agents were actually
passed in this way, until the tracer fell
into the hands of a bright young fellow
who was accustomed to looking into the
business passing through his hands, and
who speedily came to the conclusion that
the tracer had gone far enough At any
rate the document went speedily back to
the general office with the following in.
dorsement: "Box of Post holes, as per in
closed, held at this station for local charges
to amount of $3.50. Will be forwarded on
receipt of same" Under this Endorsement
was written: IN. B.-The price Of beer at
this station is $3.50 per keg" It is said that
the charges went forward.-Harper's Mag.

The FILIpINos CONTINUE TO FALL BACK.
The Pick Of the American Army Ar
rayed Against the Entire Forces
of AEuina1dO - Desperate Resist
amce Is offered, But Yankee Pluck
Ii Surely Winning.

Manila, March 25.-A terrible battle
was fought this Saturday morning
northeast of Caloocan, in which the
Americans lost 100 men, including
killed and injured, and the rebels lost
about 500. The first engagement be-
gan soon after daylight. Gen. Near
thurs division is to be credited with
the magnificent work done, which in
cludes the capture of several villages
and the almost complete demoraliza-
ton Of Aguinaldo's forces. The Amer
leans are still advancing and confident
~ expect to take Polo and Novaliches.
Soldiers Behave Splendidly.
eAmerican soldiers behaved SPLEEN
didly, charging the strong trenches
thrown up by the rebels among the
canebrakes while the enemy kept up a
terrible firing. The ambulances were
kept continually on the firing line to
carry away the many who fell.
The gunboat Laguna entered the
small creeks fringing the coast and
aided in the assault on the Filipinos.

their elaborate notifications in the out
skirts Of the city rather than see them
fall into the hands Of the Americans.
United States gunboats dropped shells
into the blockhouses and forts, with the
result that the native force was grad
ually withdrawing and moving inland
out of range.
Pushing Forward.
The Americans have passed all the
rougher portion of the country and are
now on comparatively level ground.
With their present position and the dis
trict to the rear cleared of all natives
the advance from now on will be easy.
It will be only a matter of hours be-
fore the United States forces are in pos
session of Aguinaldo's headquarters.
Our loss thus far is As killed and 145
wounded, among the killed being Col.
81. c. Egbert, of the Twenty-second in
