He gave the American garrison at San
Miguel, consisting of three companies
Of the Thirty-fifth infantry, with a gat-
ling, three hours fight during a night
attack. The loss of the insurgents in
this engagement is not known, as they
removed their dead and wounded; but
presumably it was considerable.
Taken altogether, last week was one Of
the bloodiest of the war since the first
days Of fighting around Manila Au-
thentic reports, mostly official, show a
total Of 37S Filipinos killed, II officers and
244 men captured and many more wound
ed. The number wounded is hardly
guessable.
Considering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, great majority
of the wounded will die. Probably the
weeks work finished 1000 insurgents.
The Americans loss was nine killed. 16
Two sergeants and one private
were killed in ambush while escorting
provision trains.

MILLIONS ARE DYING.
Large Portion Of ladia is Without Food For
Man or Beast,


Calcutta, April 24.--In some parts of
india the natives are in revolt. They
are crazed by hunger. Millions are dead
or dying. Natives have begun to attack
Europeans, and it is feared that if they
ever break loose reign of terror will
follow.
There is a plague among the cattle as
we'll as among the people. There is food
for neither man nor beast. The diving
cattle are unfit for food, for they are
Simply diseased skeletons when they die.
The latest official reports from the
famine districts say that the misery ex-
listing there is indescribable and un-
paralleled,. and that the present relief is
quite inadequate. They add that the
mortality among the cattle is also so
severe that the authorities are trying to
adapt farm implements so that human
power can replace that of bullocks. Such
drastic measure has never before been
necessary, even in the greatest scarcity
of animals.
1t is also announced that the natives
are developing ugly feelings and are at
lacking Europeans.
A great crowd murderously attacked
a party of soldiers at Shahpur, the mill
tary center of the northwest provinces.
The soldiers were rescued with difficulty
and in an unconscious condition.
One district lost 100000 cattle out of
!'SVO'OOO head, and almost numberless
human beings were found dead from
starvation.
In ADDITION, children were found wan
oerlng IN all directions, homeless, naked
and emaciated, and cases were renorted
Of children being sold.
The Official reports fully confirm the
worst stories Of the terrible nature of the
distress.
