SURPRISED INSURGENTS.
Sergt. Mcmahon and go Men Climb a
PrecIpice BohOl Island and
Rout the Enemy.

Manila, Nov. 25.-Capt. Edward P.
Lawton's company of the Nineteenth
infantry has attacked and captured
an insurgent fort on BohOl island,
south of Cebu, in the ViZayan group.
This fort was surrounded on all sides
by Il precipice and the only entrance
to the higher ground was guarded by
a stockade with a line of entrench
ments behind it. Capt. Lawton sent
Sergt. Mcmahon and 20 men to climb
the precipice and attack the fort in
the rear. Sergt. McMahon's party
accomplished their task after three
hours climbing through the thick
underground of brush and vines that
covered the almost perpendicular
cliff. They took the enemy by sur
prise and drove them from the fort.
AS the insurgents escaped they had
to pass the Remainder of Capt. Law
toms company at a distance of $50
yards. Here the enemy suffered ter
rible losses. The insurgents defended
themselves with both cannon and
rifles. The. cannon were captured,
the smaller ones were removed,
while the larger ones were buried,
Capt. Lawton, in his report, makes
special mention for bravery Of Sergts.

looked upon as the first national
Thanksgiving day, and the one ap-
pointed by Washington as the first
after the establishment of the gov
eminent. In regard to the Cont
mental celebration, Congress passed
the following resolution: "That a
committee of three be appointed to
prepare a recommendation to the
several states to set apart day for
thanksgiving for the signal success
lately obtained over the enemies of
these United States"
Of the very first Thanksgiving on
our shores there is no formal procia-
nation extant, although we have val
liable records which tell us how that
day was kept. Long, long ago, about
$50 years ago, Plymouth's ancient
(book) of Lawes decreed that sit be in
the Power of the Governor to COM
mand solemn days of humiliacon by
fasting and also for Thanksgiving al
occasion shall be offered" Gov.
Bradford, in 1921, exercised this pow
er by appointing a day for Thanks
giving. and this was the very first
American Thanksgiving, the Harvest
Festival of New England. It is inter

HAVE PROVED TRAITORS.
Gen. Chance Learns That Several American
Negroes Are Fighting Under Gen. Ca
ballos, the Insurgent Leader.

Manila, Nov. est has been Off
cialIy reported to Gen. Chaffee that
the insurgent leader Caballos has 500
fully armed men, including a number
of American negroes, under his COM
mand in Laguna province, Luzon. An
insurgent officer has just been cap
tured, carrying papers dated Maui
ban, Laguna province, November Is,
and signed by Caballos. The prisoner
admits that Caballos has 1000 men
with him and contemplated attacking
Mauban. This probably accounts for
the fact that Thursday the telegraph
lines were cut near Mauban and in
several places the supporting poles
were found to have been removed.

Professor in Colorado State University Has
Invention to Transmit and Receive
Messages Over Same Wire.

Boulder, Col, Nov. 23.-Dr. William
Duane, professor of physics at the
state university, has patented an in
vention by which large number of
telegraph messages can be sent over
one wire and each return at the same
time. In the physical laboratory at
the university it is said he has had as
many as Is circuits working on the
same wire and return all at the same
time. On any of these circuits the
Morse instrument can be placed and
used exactly as with the single wire
now in use. Dr.. Duane'e invention is

CAN'T OWN THEM ALL.
The MOrgan-Hm Syndicate Told That It
Must Not Wipe Out Railway Com
petition in This Country.
-Nnnrhsnn4n-

washington, Nov. 25.-It is
known by government officials
that the Northern Securities compa-
ny owning ali the stocks in the North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroads is on
" the beginning of the scheme which
]. P. Morgan and James J. Hill have
In mind. Morgan's ambition is to
control the transportation lines of
this country, not only the railroads
but the steamship lines. Those who
have talked with Morgan say that
he regards himself as a benefactor in
trying to rescue the railroad proper
ties of the country from ruinous
competition, and that he believes
such a consolidation of railroad stock
will be beneficial to the whole coun-
try.
A close friend of President Roose-
velt, who discussed the question with
Morgan, pointed out to him that he
was taking the greatest step that
had ever been made toward govern
ment control of railroads. 'You may
be sincere, Morgan said this gentle
man, "and you might succeed if you
were God. But no human agency,
except the government of the United
States, will ever be allowed to own
and control the railroads of the
United States. There are just two
alternatives to this question of trans
portation-competition or govern
ment control. When the people are
convinced or have good grounds to
suspect that railroad competition is
ended, they will insist on government
control. You are on most dangerous
grounds, and if you go forward in
this gigantic scheme you will precip-
itate the greatest political question
of the age, and bring the federal
government face to face with the ne
cessity of government control"

Notwithstanding this, the Indian is
still on his reservation, being fed;
money is still being paid him, he is
still dependent on the government
for existence and he is ''little, if any,
nearer the goal of independence than
he was 80 years ago, and, if the pres
ent policy is continued, he will get
little, if any, nearer in 80 years to

NO CABBAGE LEAF CIGARS.
Mistaken Impression That Many
People Get from the HumOr-
Gus Publications.

81 believe" said Chicago cigar deal

there are actually many people who
think that cabbage leaves play an i'm
portant part in the manufacture of all
brands of cigars. 1 suppose they get
their ideas from the comic papers and
the newspaper paragraphs of lighter
vein.
'What has been one of the most
venerable jokes at present known to
man has by long use come to be &C
cepted by many as sober truth. don't
say for moment that there are not
many of the cheap grades of cigars
which contain many things besides leaf
tobacco, but nobody would bother
about putting cabbage leaves in cigars,
forthe simple reason that these leaves
are so thick-veined and peculiarly
shaped that they would not roll up
with the tobacco leaf, and if they did
would make humps on the cigar like the
humps on a camel.
ga cabbage is vile smelling thing
when it is dried and burned, and the
smoker of the vilest cigars would turn
from it in scorn. It is because of the
villainous smell of burning. cabbage, I
suppose, that people first began as
sociating it with cheap cigars of loud
and strenuous odor. That is about the
only resemblance between the two.
mullen leaves, which we used to dry
and smoke when We were boys, are
much more suitable for the filling of
poor cigars than cabbage leaves, aad
