TWENTY KILLED.
American Garrison at CatubIg,
Island Of Samar, Almost
AnnihiIated by Rebels.

Manila, May 2.-The American garri-
son OF Catubig, Island OF Samar. con-
sisting OF thirty men belonging to the
43d Regiment has been attacked by
rebels. Twenty OF the Americans were
killed. The remainder were rescued
from annihilation.
The Americans were quartered in the
Catublg church. which the enemy, num-
bering several hundred men. surround
ed and fiercely attacked. The Ameri-
cans fought for two days and then the
rebels managed TO ignite the roof of the
church and IL burned away and finally
fell upon those inside the edifice. The
walls remained intact, however and
were used as a shelter by the besieged
Americans for three days longer, the
enemy attacking the building on all
sides at once. The Americans contin-
ued firing from the windows and doors
of the church and did great execution
among the Filipinos. 1t is estimated
that over two hundred OF the latter
were killed. many dead bodies being
removed from the scene OF the fighting.
After FIVE days resistance by the
Americans lieutenant and eight men
arrived from Laona and engaged the
besiegers, who thereupon retired.
The fortunate arrival of these re-
Inducements prevented the annihila-
ton OF the American force entrenched
in the church. who had repeatedly de-
clined TO surrender when ordered to
do so by the Fflipinos.

ically exhausted when relieved.

town OF Catama, whence the garrison

Important Operations.

The operations which have been pro-
ceeding since Friday in the neighbor-
hood of Thaba NChu seem likely to de-
velop in importance, but too little Is
known concerning them TO enable a
very clear statement regarding the sit
uation. Whether the Boer force at
Houtney mentioned in Gen. Roberts
dispatch Is a rear guard covering the
passage Of the Boer conveys northward
or a more important force, IL is clearly
OF considerable strength and apparently
holds positions that are exactly suited
TO the Boer methods Of fighting. These
positions are among precipitous noun
tains. which are described as being
even rougher than those in the Coles
berg district. The Beers have posted
several guns. from WHICH they are
pouring shell into the British centre.
The damage effected hitherto, however.
seems TO have been comparatively small
and the British guns are reported TO
have already driven them out OF some
of their positions.
A day or two will probably elapse be-
fore anything very definite is learned
about this engagement and the opera
tions at Vlakfontein and Schams

DIME. =: =: =.

There's man in St Louis who hasn't
spent dime in two years.
He isn't pauper, by any means bu+
the well known general agent Of n graat
railway system, and draws q salary
which to the average man would seem
princely.
Neither is he close-hsted. On the con-
trary, he is widely known as a good
spender and an an-round good fellow;
but, all the same, he hasn't spent a dime
in two years.
His wife Is to blame for 1t all 1t was
one Of those Inspirations which come to
women in unaccountable ways, and II
came with such force that she Issued or
ders. Up to date her orders have been
carried out to the litter, so the husband
says, and not a dime has he spent.
The upshot Of 1t all is that the wife
aforesaid is TN" about $3.50 in ready cash
and has made the first payment on a
home in the West end that she is certain
she would never have acquired any other
way.
The secret Is that when this insprra-
ton came to the wife she made her
husband promise TO give her every dime
that came into his possession; and he has
kept his promise. How much It has cost
MIN TO be as good as his word he will
not say; how many times he has had 70
break S. bill to get car fare he cannot
estimate; how many times he has been
given as much as so cents in dimes by
the conductor of the street car, and taken
1t without murmur. he declined to COM
pute
1t was nominated in the bond that he
should tell no one not to give him dimes
in change and he has kept his word;
but in his heart OF hearts there fingers
a suspicion that his frugal wife has post
ed the tradespeople IN the nelghborhood.
II he goes to the corner drug store for
cigar. and there Is any possible chance
to work off a stock Of dimes on him IN
making change, he always gets them, he
says. 1t is just as bad at the saloon
around the corner; and even the z: b.ery
seems to be over-stOckGd with 10-Cent
pieces whenever he hap pa to make
purchase.
If, by any chance, he gets stuck"
downtown with nothing but dimes IN his
pocket, he must borrow car fare or walk
home.
II he wants a cigar, or q shave, or
drink and offers q quarter, the change Is
a dime nine times in ten.
And 50 It goes; no dimes going out;
dimes always coming in; 1t Is awful ex-
asperating, at times, but the wife Is
happy, and the home IS being paid for.
