Pillar Engages Garrison at San Miguel.
Bands of Insurgents Grow Active Fight
ing the Plague In Manila.
MANILA. April 23.-Last week has
been one of the bloodiest of the war
since the first days fighting around
Manila. Authentic reports, mostly
official. show total of 378 Filipinos
killed, IL officers and 244 men captured
and many more wounded. The number
wounded is hardly guessable. Consid-
ering that the Filipinos entirely lack
hospital facilities, great majority of
the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The American loss was nine killed and
16 wounded. Two sergeants and one
private were killed in ambush while
escorting provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province of Luzon.
General Pho Del Pilar's band, number
ing 300, which was out of sight for
three months, the leader being reported
killed, has reappeared in its old field
about San Miguel. Pillar is supposed to
be again IN command. He gave the
American garrison at San Miguel, con-
sisting of three companies of the Thirty
fifth infantry with a gatling, a three
hours fight during night attack. The
loss of the insurgents in this engage
ment is not included in the foregoing
total, as they removed their dead and
wounded, but presumably it was con-
siderable.
The sudden deaths of Filipinos and
Chinese in Quiapo market led to an in
vestigation showing that Is cases of the
plague, IA of which were fatal, have oc-
Cured within a week. After all the
market people had gathered together
Saturday the health officers threw
guard around the buildings and will
keep the inmates quarantined there for
a fortnight. They will then burn the
market. The total number of bubonic
deaths are 119 Chinese and 66 Filipinos.

You've got to keep 'em going.

TOO UNCANNY FOR BURGLAR.
Routed by Skeleton md Goat in Mys- tery Room of a Fraternity
 HOuse.

Twelve students in the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house, 5T51 Monroe avenue, Chicago, were reused from slumber the other morning by the bleating of ''Whiskers," the lodge goat, who had pursued burglar over the back-lot fence. Then it was found that Theodore Sibley and Charles E. Carey had been robbed of a gold watch and SS.79.
 The burglar had entered at the front and after searching the room occupied by Sibley and Carey had entered the mystery room" "Wag Bontes," the house skeleton, was up late tabulating the number of nervous prostrations he had given to freshmen in the last ini- tiation, and greeted the stranger af- fably. The sacred green and purple fires burning in the mystic shrine cast flickering light over the serene "Wag Bones," and the burglar felt cold chills and a sudden longing for home. That is the reason probably he did not loot the entire building.
 When the students found that ''Whiskers" had vanquished the burglar they gave him two extra Jumps of sugar and put him on double rations of new cans for a month. It is understood that the skeleton will have a new shroud, with eyeholes to fit, and that he will be fed on beef tea for a fort night.

MEETS APPROVAL.
Immigration Commissioner Powder Iy GrRtihed by JRpan's New or
 der Restricting Emigration.

q am gratifed at the action of the Japanese government in restricting the emigration of its subjects to the United States" said Commissioner Powderly. Tt was a wise action. Unrestricted emigration would have eventually resulted in the demand for drastic measures from the people of the west. This probability has been happily averted by the judicious and kindly move of the Japanese govern ment."
 On account of the action of the Jap anese government in issuing the order practically prohibiting emigration to the United States, there is no longer any need for the services of Special Immigration Inspector Watchorn re- maining on the Pacific coast, where he was sent to investigate Japanese immigration and see that the laws re lating to aliens coming into the coun- try were strictly enforced.
 Assistant Secretary Taylor has di- rected MT. Watchorn to return to Washington as soon as the ships now on the sea bringing Japanese immi- grants, which left Japan previous to the issuance of the new order, arrive and their passengers have been passed upon by the immigrant officials.

NEW COLLEGE ALLIANCE.
AndOver Theological Seminary May J0in with Harvard.

President Tucker, of Dartmouth col lege the other afternoon delivered what may be the last baccalaureate sermon to a graduating class of An dover Theological seminary, in Andov- CT, Mass.
 The ninety-second anniversary of the institution will be observed within a few days, and it is likely that at that time the proposition to move the sem mary to another place will be officially acted upon.
 Last fall only five men composed the entering class, and the whole student body the last year has numbered but 23. There are nine professors and three lecturers.
 The latest proposition is to move the famous old seminary to Cambridge. and either merge it into the Harvard di- yinity school, associate it with the uni versity in some less radical way, or else continue it on an independent basis and under its old name, trusting to the prestige that its location in the university city would be likely to bring,
 It is thought by some that quiet country town is no longer an advan- tageous situation for a theological sem mary.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
the Top of the Shaft-FreQuentIy Struck by Lightning.

During May 17,752 visitors went to the top of the Washington monument, making a total of 1,s44,635 visitors since the shaft was opened to the public in October, 1888. Hardly a month of the spring and summer passes that the monument is not struck by lightning. While the struc- ture itself escaped last month, man who was standing on the lower floor of the monument, leaning against one of the iron columns which support the stairway, received a shock of cleo tricity in his arm and shoulder. Two other men who were looking out of one of the windows at the top of the shaft narrowly escaped with their lives, as the lightning came in the window directly over their heads. They were blinded for moment, but escaped injury.

 A strike of telegraph operators is now on on the Santa Fe system eX tending from Chicago to Los Ange- les. The operators of the Santa Fe's southern lines went on a strike a few days since and those on the main line, who had no grievance of their own, went out in sympathe tic strike. Enough operators remain on duty to enable the company to run its trains successfully.
