Americans Driving FiIipinos Fur
ther Away From Manila. Bril-
liant Capture of caIoocan. --IIoiIo,
Toe, Falls Into Our Hands.

Fighting between the Americans and
Philippine insurgents has continued at
intervals during the past week The
results have all been favorable to the
Americans. Their lines have been
pushed further ont from Manila and
several ofthe rebels strongholds taken.
The latter are still apparently full of
fight, however, and further punish
ment will be necessary before they will
yield
After the first bloody battle at the
outskirts of Manila the enemy with
drew, concentrating at several points
in front. One OF these was Caloocan.
north of Manila and not far from the
beach. This point was strongly forti-
fed and quite menace to our troops
On Friday afternoon it was attacked
by Gen. Otis brigade, consisting of the
Montana, Kansas and Pennsylvania
regiments and the Third regular ar
tillery. acting as infantry. 4 terrific
bombardment by the monitor Monad-
mock, the gunbOat Concord and the
Utah battery preceded the assault and
threw the rebels into CONSERVATION |

ire upon them and then fled into Ca
loocan town. from which they were
speedily dislodged and Otis brigade /
now occupies it. Our troops also have
possession of the waterworks ten miles
east of the city. The American losses
up TO date have been about 65 killed
and some over 200 wounded The Fill
iplnos have lost not less than 1900
killed and an even greater number
wounded, while several thousand pris-
oners have been taken The insnr-
gents viii probably make their last
stand at or near Malalos their so-called
capital. which is some 10 miles inland
from Manila. Otis is being lett to con-
duct the campaign in his own way and
is likely to follow up his successes un-
til the rebels submit No disposition
is shown TO treat with the insurgents
as belligcrents.

opened fire or our ships, which was re-
turned and, troops being landed. the
town was taken. 4 part of it was
burned by the enemy. Our troops suf-
iered no loss The rebel loss is un-
known. lloilo is the second most inn

He gradually grew weaker until
next evening about 3 o'clock, when
he called each one in his room,
and with great difficulty said to
each, "Meet me in heaven" To
me he said, 81 want you to meet
me in heaven and bring with you
a great many sheaves. After this
he became so weak he cOnld
scarcely speak. He was perfect
ly conscious until the very last.
His mind never wavered at any
time during his sickness. He was
a little over rs years of age. tits
needless for me to tell you that he
had done a great deal of hard
work in The ministry during the
last fifty years. He preached
steadily as long as he was able,
and when he could preach no
longer he gave up the work re.
luctantly. He often said, 81 had
rather wear out than rust out"
And he certainly wore his life out
in the service of God. One by
one as family we are passing
away and we may truly say, one
by one they are gathered in that
home above, where there will be
no more sad parting.
