THE PHILIPPINE WAR.
About 800 of the Enemy Killed Recently
in North HOcOs-The Insurgents
Burn FatOc

Manila, April 27.-About 300 of the
enemy have been killed recently in
North Ilocos, including Dodd's fight
and the attack on Batoc April 16,
when from 600 to 700 rebels, a quar-
ter of whom were armed with rifles,
determinedly attacked the Ameri-
cans, charging their positions and
fighting at close quarters. The en-
gagement lasted all the afternoon,
the enemy burning the town, but they
were repulsed after the arrival of
American reinforcements.
The Americans having obtained evil
dence that the alcaldes of Lapo, Mays
ingaI, Cabugas and Sinait were hold
ing treacherous communication with
the insurgents, imprisoned them and
burned Lapos town hall.
There have been several minor
fights in the province, including an
attack by 100 insurgents on Lavag,
April II, 40 of whom were killed and
so were captured.
There were no American casualties
at Batoc, where $50 insurgents were
killed and 70 captured.

wedding EccentricIties.

Invention has to be taxed in order
to provide something entirely new for
wedding festivities, if one really de-
sires to be original; but that there
are minds adapted to that task, may
be guessed from the following real
occurrence: A couple in one of the
New England states had recently an
ambition to begin their married life
under decorative circumstances. The
ordinary devices were too old. So, in
stead of floral bell, there was to be
seen above the happy pair the Dor
rowed legend: Omitted we stand"
The quotation has not yet been fin
ished Still later comes another anec-
dote, equally true, which seems to
embody the modern spirit. Two hap
DIV young persons, named, perhaps,
Harriet Corson' and John Games, stood
up to be married. Above her head
was an elaborate floral device, with
her name in small electric lights.
Above the bridegroom appeared a
similar decoration, save that it was
his name that .spark1ed there. All
through the ceremony the lights
burned brilliantly, but at the words,
81 pronounce you man and wife, -
Harriet Corson'' was turned Off
Youths Companion.

MEANS CERTAIN DEATH.
DR.. Wilson Tells the Eoumenfcal Confer
ence Why It Is DimcuIt TO Convert
A1osIens to Christianity.

New York, April 29.-In his address
before the EcumenicaI conference Sat
urday on missions, DIR. Wilson said:
''The difficulty of winning moslems
to Christianity is admitted by all who
have tried. The spirit of islam is a
spirit of anti-Christ. It is almost
certain death lor a Mohammedan to
embrace Christianity, and should he
escape with his life, he viii still
meet the certain and unqualified con-
tempt of his fellows. There is in the
Holy Land to-day sentiment look
ing forward to the visitation of some
great prophet. The oppression of the
Ottoman empire is doing much to dis
gust the people with Mohammedism
and will be effective in time in bring
ing them to Christ. He who would
win the moslem must know the koran
next to his Bible.' He said that the
English and americans have a greater
influence on the moslem than any
other nation.

ROOT HINTS AT WAR.

that we would never abandon it. Mr..

of the Mckinley administration, in
