a cluster of bamboo houses in the
town came a mournful little process
sion. Three boys marched in front
wearing black capes and carrying
wooden crosses. Behind them came
the band. or perhaps twelve instru-
ments. The players were Filipinos,
dressed in white shirts and trousers.
Behind the band were four men carry
ing a red-covered coffin on their shoul-
ders. Behind the coffin was a man cry
ing like a little child. Another man
walked with him, with his arm around
the mourner and talking to him in a
low tone. Behind these two were a
group Of women, one of whom at times
would scream and then sob piteously.
Some men and boys followed along in
the rear of the procession.
There goes a good Niger" said a
soldier who stood watching the pass
ing Of the funeral. He said that the
man who was being buried had been
killed In battle along the road to linus
the day before. His relatives had
brought the body into town during the
night that 1t might be decently buried.
The man who walked behind the body
was the dead mans brother. The
woman who was crying and screaming
was the widow. The cortege came
walking slowly down the road-the
road to linus. The rain beat in their
faces, but they did not heed It. They
splashed along in the mud in their
bare feet without even looking up.
The band was playing a funeral
dirge. 1t was a shabby looking band.
The white clothes Of the musicians
we're wet and limp and splashed with
mud. One Of the players was blind
and was being led along by a boy.
Some Of the band walked in a little
group in front. The blind man and
two other players followed a few
yards behind, while the drummer, who
was an old nan and could hardly keep
IN. followed along fast. A gust Of
wind blew one Of the musicians, hats
off and carried it seurrying down the
muddy road. The owner gave no sign
he noticed the loss of his hat. He
walked on bareheaded in the rain, play
ing as before. The little procession
splashed on ia the rain and mud In
the direction Of the cemetery.
A company Of the Fourteenth infan-
try, VINO had been out fighting along
the road to linus for three or four
days, came swinging back to its guar
tiers at Bacoor church. The funeral
procession huddled over against the
wall ON ona side Of the road to let the
soldiers pass. The sturdy men, with
their rides swung on their shoulders
swung by the little brown men with
the battered old horns, standing In the
rain around the geudy red CONN., anu

An English writer, with a love OF
figures, has been computing the aggre-
gate money value of that colossal in
stitution, the British navy. Going
back to the beginning Of the century
he finds that the feet was then worth
barely e1O,O 0 {, 900 or $4,000, OOO-very
little more than the sum that is to be
spent this year on entirely new war
vessels. Since the passing of the naval
defense act in 1889 the amount ex-
pended on the building Of British war
ships is close on $500, 600, 900; II other
expenditure connected with the navy Is
taken into account the total would be
nearer $500. 200, 900. Keeping, however.
strictly to the cost OF the vessels at
present on the effective strength Of the
navy the total is los, OOO, 900. or more
than $500, 600, 900. OF this huge total
the sixty-four battleships. costing
$3.50, OOO, 900, make up nearly half, the
next in order being the 119 protected
cruisers, with a total cost of $145, 1885,
000. The only other e%ight-hgure cost
is that Of the twenty-five armored
cruisers, on which the government ex-
pense is $50, 635, 900. 1t will thus be
seen that the armored cruisers cost
more than a third as much as five
times as many protected cruisers.
These totals do not include the yes

Bacoor is a squalid town, twelve

In tho fierce fighting last June, which
eliminated in the hard struggles at
Paranaque, Las Pinas, BacoOr, zapote

Bacoor stands down near the bay.
There are great holes in It made BY
the shells thrown by the navy in the
light for the town. The Americans

So many sick that tents were put up on
on the plaza in front Of the church,
n they, too, were full Of the sick.
A battery Of the Fifth artillery was
parked in the street along n side Of
the church. The gun wheels were
coated with mud. and the cannoneers,
looking tired and iaded, squatted on
the ground around their guns and
talked and smoked. In front Of the
church was the road to linus.
Gen. Grant. whose headquarters
we're at Bacoor, had Just come in from
linus. There had been four days Of
hghting, which had eliminated the
DAY before in the capture by the Amer
leans of Binacayan, across the river
from the linus road. The fighting had
been begun by the insurgents firing
from the other side of the river on
small parties travelling the linus road.
Larger forces had gone out as rein
forcements, and hard fighting had fol-
lowed.
We decided to go to linus. It was
growing late in the day. A cold rain
was falling and the afternoon was be-
ginning to grow dark, when we started
down the road. There was the sound

A Nulsanoe to BE Abated.

Residents Of ordinarily quiet streets
up town are disturbed almost every
night by leather-lunged men bawling
all sorts Of sensational nonsense in
connection with the alleged extras"
they are offering for sale, says the
New York Herald. The newspapers
they dispose Of in the darkness are
nothing more than regular afternoon
editions, and the purchasers scan their
columns in vain for the exciting in
telligenee shouted by the vendors.
They usually travel in pairs and their
clamor disturbs the slumbers of per
sons who retire early and shocks the
nerves Of invalids. They not only vio-
late the ordinance BY thus bawling
their wares after the prescribed hours,
but in exacting 6 cents for each o
OF the pretended extras they are
guilty Of petty swindllng. The police
should be instructed to abate this nui-
sance.
