Prof. Mahaffy, Of London, says that
he has made one. Of tho most astonish-
ing genealogical discoveries Of the age
namely. that the pedigree of the
Smith family can be traced back to
the time of Ptolemy ILL.,, and that q
Smith, possibly the first Of the line,
was q, saloon keeper in A1exandria
2,127 years ago. The professor should
dig 9 little deeper, as further research
would undoubtedly show him that the
Smiths were men Of power in the time
Of Amenhotep H., and that . Smith
was head granary keeper when the
great sesostris ruled the nation.

Speaking of that famous trotter,
the late Maud S., it is said on good au-
thority that every evening at about
ten o'clock Mrs. Maud Stone Carey, of
New York city. calls up her father,
Capt George 8. Stone, Of Cincinnati,
on the long-distance telephone and
bids him goodnight. Each message
costs $3.50, but Capt. Stone thinks it
cheap enough at that price. He is
the street car magnate of Cincinnati,
and years ago, when his daughter was
still Maud Stone, he named after her
the animal that eventually became
the queen of the turf.

Many FILIPINOSs SLAIN.


Manila, April 23.--Last week WA
one Of the bloodiest OF the war since,
the first days fighting around Manila.
Authentic reports, mostly ! official,
show 9 total Of 37s Filipinos killed, L.
officers and IA men captured and
many more wounded. The number
wohAded is hardly guessable. Con-:
sidering that the .Filipinos entirely
lack hospital faculties, q great ma
jority of the wounded will die Prob.
ably the weeks work finished 1000
insurgents. The Americans loss was
nine killed and 16 wounded. Two SER
geants and one private were killed
in ambushes while escorting provision
trains.
The insurgents have been aggres-
sive in almost every province Of Lu-
zon. Gen. Pho del Pillars band, num-
bering 300, which was out of sight for
three months, the leader being report
ed killed, has reappeared in its old
field about San Miguel. Pillar is sup
posed to- be again in command. He
gave the American garrison at San
Miguel, consisting of three comp nies
of the Thirty-dfth infantry, with a
gatling, three hours fight, during
a night attack. The loss of the insur-
gents in. this ENGAGEMENT is not in
cluded in the foregoing total, as they
removed their dead and wounded, but
presumably it was considerable.
Twenty Filipinos in the provinc &c of
Batangas attacked Lieut.. Wonde, who
with eight men was scouting near San
Jose. The lieutenant and five men
were wounded and one private was
killed. 49,.
Sergt. Ledoius, of the Thirty fifth
infantry, was badly wounded in, an
ambush near Baliung. Lieut.. Balch, of
the Thirty-seventh infantry, with 10
men, had a five-hour fight with 400
insurgents in the Nueva Caceras dis
trict. Twenty of the insurgents were
killed.
Col. Smith, of the Seventeenth infan-
try, who captured Gen. Montene gro
and brought him to Manila, is in the
isolation hospital suffering from small
pox, presumably caught from the Fill.
pinos. Col. Smiths command captured
$50 officers and men with Montenegro.
The officers were brought to Manila.
Montenegro, who was formerly one
of the most dapper officers in the Fill
Pine army, looks worn and haggard.
He says he has led terrible life for
months, and he has offered to return
to the north with Col. Smith to en-.
deavor to persuade his former com.
rades OF the uselessness of opposing
the Americans.
