Mnila. Dec. 2S.-COl. Lockert with
force oL 800 men, including artillery,
yesterday attacked a strong force of in
surgents entrenched in the mountains
near Montalban, five miles northeast
Of San Mateo. The enemy was COM
pletely routed, the Americans pursuing
them through hills, amid which they
fledIin every direction. Four Ameri-
cans were wounded. The Filipino loss
was large. resulting from a heavy in
fantry and artillery fire of three hours
into the trenches. The insurgents were
supposed to be those driven out Of San
Mateo on the day Gen. LaWtOn was
killed. They numbered probably a
thousand. A dozen lines Of insurgent
trenches covered the steep trail
through the hills and likewise the val
ley below, along which the Americans
passed. The main attacking party con-
sisted of the forty-siXth volunteer in
fantry, troopOf cavalry and artillery.
Col. Lockett commanding in person,
The best of the command operated
| from remote points in an endeavOr to
carry out Lockett's plan, throwing
| lines around the enemy and cutting off
retreat. The nature of the mountain
GUS country made it impracticable &c
execute this movement successfully
After the insurgents began to run there
was a vain attempt to use artillery.

Jim WARDNER Of IDAHO.
His Remarkable Luck and the Story
Of an Interesting Telegram.

Jim Wardner of Idaho and al
over" said westerner just in town
from the Pacific slope, ought TO be
somewhere in New York City at this
very minute, for heard he had left fol
the east on q prospecting trip, JUS
before I got down from Skaguay
Wardner is genius that cannot be
downed, and besides having one town
named for him in Idaho and another
in British Kootenai, he has made and
lost four fortunes in mines. and is now
starting in on his fifth. At least, his
fourth is gone, and he only makes q
fortune when he happens to be out OF
one. His last venture was big, but il
went wrong. He had two steamboats,
on the koOtenai, and started the Town
of Wardner, which went with a boom
and jim started to win a million.
There was a rival town across the
river, but they had to depend on Jim's
steamboats, for their stuff, and natur-
ally, under the circumstances, Ward
neT had the bulge on Steelton. the
name of the other town. One day,
when everything was coming Jim's
way, both Of his boats went on the
rocks and sunk, and jim wasn't yet in
a fix to replace them. In other words.
it busted him, and he got out of it the
best he could, which was to go off to
Toronto and trade his town site for a
stock of goods. These, to the extent of
$4,000, he carried up to Lake Bennett
and started in it down the river for
Dawson. Evidently Jim's luck wasn't
on the water for his boat load of stuff
was wrecked and he only saved enough
out Of it to bring him in 1895, when.
if he had had luck, his $4,000 would
easily have been sold for 100000 at
the usual Dawson profit. That sort Of
thing would have knocked out most
men, bur Wardner went right on, and
now I understand he has got some
thing to present to the notice of New
Workers better than anything he ever
struck.
His black cat farm was one of
the things that gave him a reputation
for wealth. This was a farm on an
island in Puget Sound where he raised,
according to his representations to an
eastern journalist, such vast numbers
Of black cats that their fur brought
him in a fabulous revenue. Of course
i was fabric Of the fancy, but the
story was told everywhere, and Ward
ner's black cat farm was one of the
features Of the coast-on paper. at
least.
Another story is told on him of
lime when he was between fortunes
and wanted to get to New York for a
grub stake. He was at Vancouver, and
Is he couldn't swim, nothing was left
lim to go on but the land, so he
struck the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
He stated his case to the agent and
asked him to telegraph Mr.. Shaugh-
lessy, the general passenger agent at
Montreal, to the effect that Mr.. Ward !
Ter was at Vancouver and unless he
cot transportation he would have to !
walk. The obliging agent sent the
Message and asked, Shall l issue the |
transportation? Later the agent re-
eived reply Don't let Mr.. Wardner

California,. oranRer.

The capital invested in orange grow
ing in the state of California is esti-
mated at $i4,00O,0O0. As the bulk of
the oranges comes from seven of the
southernmost counties of the state
Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernar-
dino, Orange, San Diego, Santa Bar
bara and Nentura-some idea may be
gained of the vast utility of this work
in the United States to Uncle Sam.
The number of mountaineering
orange trees in this district is said TO
be about 1,227,O0O, and those now
yielding fruit 2,O72, 2,4O0. When all
these trees are yielding the luscious
California oranges, Californians, IL is
estimated, will reap harvest of gold
from this source alone of $4,000, 900 q

NEW STYLE OF LINE MAPS.

1t is learned that the Northwestern
Railway company, of England, is in
PRODUCING in several of the stations Of
the line maps of the tile for accommo-
dation OF patrons of the road The
maps measure about six feet square
and are made OF tiles six inches square.
In manufacturing these maps the tiles
are made by the ordinary process of
mixing various kinds of clay in liquid
form. After the necessary treatment
the tiles are nodded, placed in the
kiln and brought to the condition tech
nically known as "bisque." The draw
ing of the map is reproduced on copper
plates, one plate for each tile, and
impressions are made upon specially
prepared paper. The prints so pre-
pared are transferred to the surface OF
The bisque tile and rubbed into il care

ening il with water and rubbing il off,
the ink being left behind without any
danger Of injuring the surface Of the
tile or bIurring the fneness or the
sharpness OF the lines. The tiles are
then sent to the kiln TO be hardened
on" after which they are put in kilns
and fired They are then taken to the
painting-room, where the co;ors are
put on by hand, after which they are
sent to the enameling kilns. After this
third firing they are ready for slab
bing," as the cementing of design
or pattern in tile work is called.
II has been suggested that these maps
will prove valuable for use for other
than railroad purposes, particularly in
the schoolroom, great feature OF this
style being its durability.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Three soldier boys, volunteers,
