James McGrath, who were persuaded to
leave Grccnvillo to work in mill in
Rhode lsland have returned home, and
arc glad to be there. They are quoted
by the News as saying that the condition
of cotton-mill operatives in the New
England States is not alluring; that in
point Of health and cleanliness tho East
crn mills arc no better than the mills of
the South, and the wages arc hardly as
good, after the increased cost Of living is
counted in, and whilo the East affords
moro amusement and excitement and
life is faster and therefore more attrac-
.vr to the young operatives, work is un-
steady Oh account of the strikes.

IreQcheS tORuQ From
Oee Of the Chief Gloriss ofthe Filipino
Nrmy-obstructive Fighting.
is64setaeAe4ee4@@e4eee@4

Although the insurgent soldiers in
the Philippine Islands have poor
reputation as marksmen, they deserve
considerable credit for the extensive
and elaborate trenches made by them.
The hobby of a rebel general seems to
be to have his men devote a large pro-
portion Of their time to designing and
building trenches, from which they
are ultimately driven by the Ameri-
cans. It appears to be the plan of
She insurgent army to erect magnif-
ce"t barricndes and plan the most
beautiful systems of trenches, only to
have them captured by the Americans
at the fret Charge. If the native SOL
diers could fight one-quarter as well
as they can devise and build trenches,
this Filipino war would be more seri-
Gus. As it is, the American troops
utterly disregard the trenches of the
rebels, and think nothing of charging
up to and over them, scattering the
natives like bees.
The writer never saw an insurgcEt
force stand its ground in its trenches
more than few minutes after an
American charge, except at the battle
of Balangtang, near Iloilo, when sew
eral companies Of the rebels managed
to hold their position for about thirty
minutes before they broke. The in
surgents had occupied these trenches
for nearly year, during which time
they had been constantly at work on
them, putting them into the best of
condition for defence. The rebel Of
fcers had all along asserted that the
United States forces would be ami
hilated if they attacked this position.
One morning the American column
moved on the trenches at daybreak,
and after q fight of thirty minutes the
rebels were obliged to leave the
trenches and run for the mountains.
The fault was noC with the trenches,
but with the soldiers in them. The

.overing them over with light stuff
or the Americans to fall through, or
they set up poisoned tips of sharpened
bamboo as at ID, Figure 3, hoping
that some of the Americans may tum-
Bile in on these wicked points in the
dark. A great number of trenches
thus fitted have been located in the
enemy's country, aud, of course, are
set fire to at once, so as TO destroy
the wood points and the poison. The
writer has never heard Of an Amer.
ican soldier falling on these poisoned
tips, but has seen some natives stark
in death upon them. Another trick
the natives have is shown in Figure
3, in which the trench is lightly GOV,
cred with bamboo sticks and some
stones or earth thrown over so as to
conceal the spot.
The natives suppose that Americans
will not notice the new earth, etc,
aud will step on the frail top and fall
through upon the points below. The
bamboo cover is marked T. and the
points G. Sometimes they run water
into these places and put poisonous
reptiles inside. They work out all
sorts of extremely ingenious schemes
of this description, and to the wonder
of the natives the American soldiers
refuse to be caught.

Often these half circle trenches com

they used trenches against the Span
