they fell into an ambush, and the Mac

ditch, but stood up himself in plain
view of the Filipinos. Finally charge
was made, and the Macabebes came
on without their lieutenant, for he had
been shot down in his tracks at the
ditch.

Dropping the man behind the Mauser

The first real determined fight of the
Macabebes was at Libertad last No
vember. They were with YoIng's col
umn, and it had been planned to have
them advance along one route while
the Twenty second infantry and some
Tagalog scouts took another road.
Somehow the Macabebes missed their
proper trail. or pretended to. They had
expected to get in the rear of Libertad,
but instead found themselves at day
light close to the Filipino trenches in
front of the town. Lieutenant Batson
ordered the column of little blacks into
line of battle and then advanced boldly
upon Libertad.
The scouts went forward slowly and
stealthily. as usual. 1t was a question
at first whether they meant to Skin
mish or reconnoiter or fight. But it did
not take long to determine. The Fill
pinos We're ready and poured a volley
into the thin line of scouts. The Mac
abebes answered the fire and kept
on advancing. They We're going in.
Batson was anxious. for he didn't
know his men as yet But it was too
late to retreat so he gave the signal to
charge. With yell the Macabebes
rushed for the trenches. and the Fill
pinos didn't wait to test the fighting
powers of their old foe. They fed or
tried to. but the little blacks We're at
their heels. One Macabebe had fallen
in the first rush. The Tagalogs knew
that his comrades would exact heavy
price for that one life.
There We're 200 Filipinos in the Lib

as General Young was ready to send
. out strong detachment to follow up
the scouts and attack the place he was
told by a Macabebe courier that Bat
son was already in Libertad. He had
taken 6S prisoners, killed 4 Filipinos
and wounded S so seriously that their
fellows could not take them from the

50 wounded.

Murphy S oompany's Stock Letter

New York. August 7.-The stock market opened dull and rather heavy, it's tendency beins apparently a renewal of that which rxeyailed in the last hour of business yes terday, following up on the disappoint- ment at the rate of dividend declared on Reading firsts and the weakness in Sugar. Both of these stocks this morning con tinlied depressed. although upon the de- cline fair degree of support was noted in Sugar. The dealings in the remainder Of the market generally resulted in decline. Metropolitan was depressed but little was ' done otherwise in local fractions. Sugar almost monopoiized the dealings in the industrial quarter. but the transactions there commonly resulted in declines. Fed eral Steel, common. was particularly weak. National Tube. which one of the strong features of yesterdays s market was likewise reactionary. The railway list was depressed in common with the other quar- ters of the market; there was noteworthy pressure appearing in B. & O., Union Pa cific and the Changers. The London mar
 ket reopened for business today. The de-
 clines there were reported in extremely limited volume and heavy tone charac- terized the trading. American stocks par
 ticipatsd in the general tendency of the London market and were quoted some what below parity with yesterdays final local prices. The mornings news com prised little or nothing bearish upon the general market or particular stocks.
