first days fighting around Manila. Au-
thentic reports. mostly official, show a
total OF 37S Filipinos killed, IL officers
and 244 men captured and many more

wounded. Two sergeants and one pri-

of three companies of the 35th infantry

during a night attack. The loss OF the
insurgents in this engagement is not
included in the foregoing total, as they
remove their dead and wounded, but
presumably IL was considerable.

Batangas attacked Lieut.. Wondc, who,
with eight men, was scouting near
San Jose. The Lieutenant and five men
were wounded. One private was killed.

shot by an unknown man near his resi-

known man. who said his wagon had
broken down and he wished to have
repairs made so he could proceed on

When Mr.. Southwick had gone some
500 feet from the house he asked where
the wagon was, whereupon the stranger
raised a revolver and fired, the bullet
entering Mr.. Southwick's stomach just
below the right lung. The man then
started toward the house and Mr..
Southwick ran after him, as he be-
lieved the man had designs on his fam

PAWTUxET FISHERMEN PREDICT
ApLENTIFUL RUN OF FLATFISH.

Flatfish are now running in much
larger numbers than at any time last
week and they will be still more plenti-
full before another week is gone. accord
ing to an old Pawtuxet resident well
up in such,matters.
They are also running larger this
year than last but the smaller ones are
the best for food.
The first flatfsh of the season was
taken some little time ago and the first
herring was captured last Saturday by
Samuel King. who has had this honor
for a number OF years. The flatfish are
caught with angle worms and CLAIMS for
bait. but II Is conceded by the foremost
fishermen that the worms are the bet
ter.
The herring are taken by means OF
dip nets attached to long poles. The
fisherman wades out into water half
way TO his hips and scoops the fish
from the hollows IN the rocks.
More dicfiiulty has been experienced
this year than in others. on account of
the repairs made TO the dam last year.
