BRAVE DEED IN SAMAR.
MARINES SCALE A CLIFF TO TAKE A
REBEL STRONGHOLD.

Manila. Nov 20.-MaJor L. W. 7. Waller, OF
the Marine Corps has telegraphed Rear Ao-
mira1 Rodgers. at Manila full and detaileo ac-
count of the attack on November by the men
Of his command upon the rebel stronghold at
Sojoton, Basey. Island of Samar.
Three insurgent camps were destroyed. forty
bamboo cannon were captured. and mucn rice
and other stores were destroyed The rebel
stronghold seemed almost impregnable The
trails leading to it lined with poisoned
spears sticking from the ground, and were nileo
with hidden pitfalls. Major Weller's command
attacked the enemy unexpectedly.
To do this they had to scale cliff two nun
dred feet high. This they climbed barefoored
over bamboo ladders AT the top they found
powders piled ready to precipitate upon an at
tacking party.
Major Waller says he personally not pres
ent at the action. He praises Captain DaVio L.
Porter and Captain Hiram l. Bearss for thelr
splendid work, and says too much praise cannot
be given the marines themselves, whose De
havior he characterIzes as brilliant in every re-
spect The Major considers the scaling of cliffs
two hundred feet high new feature OF war
fare, and says such men would be able TO 40
anything anywhere. Thirty of the enemy were
killed. The marines sustained a few trinlng
wounds.
Rear Admiral Rodgers has replied to Major
Waller congratulating him this successful
action by his command.
A fund is being raised by the Federal party In
Manila for the purpose Of attempting to prevent
the execution Of the Filipino General, Isidoro
Torres, who surrendered to the American au-
thorities in the early part of this year ana VINO

More than half the capital for the building Is to

her old lines, though Diabolo and Ger
berus, her former charges, proved less
tractable than of yore, having been
used for a year and a half to the bru-
tai ferocity of Signor Baratti, recently
dismissed for drunkenness; but she
got on pretty we'll after a time, the
lions learned once more to obey her
milder methods, and as she snatched
little Jimmy to her breast each day
after the performance, every kiss upon
his rosy cheeks encouraged her to
work on for his lear sake.
During her performances Jim was
never very far away, for those were
his off-duty moments, and though two
big guards stood always at the gate
of the lion cage, whose interference
had never yet been necessary, it
seemed to the honest fellow that his
whole happiness hung BY a single
thread, and in his loving heart truly
he died daily.
And now the baby had fallen i'll and
though his nurse assured them it was
nothing serious and that spasms were
quite common with teething children,
Marie felt as she watched the little
form lying quite still across her knees,
or again twitching convulsively while
her heart almost stopped beating, that
she simply couldn't leave him.
But, alas! When she presented her
self before Mr.. McGrath, sole man
ager and proprietor of the show, one
glance into his fishy little eyes con-
vinced her in advance that any appeal
to his sympathy would be useless.
Leave We off from the matinay, is it?
Now, I'm awful sorry, Mrs. Cronin,
but it amt to be thought of. Biz is
biz that's my motto. You and them
ions is my most DRAWN card, and if
twas to git about you wasn't goin' to
perform, we might as we'll close the
circus, for we shouldn't take in a

conclusively. "Im real sorry the kid
is SICK" he added, seeing her whiten
and tremble before him, "but 1 guess
he'll pull through, and you amt in the
ring over a half hour any way"
How could she explain to this man
that her courage was all gone, that
every nerve in her body seemed to
culver and snap,-he wouldn't under
stand, and with a sickly faintness
stealing over her, she dragged herself
round to the dressing tent and strug-
gled to get into her gaudy tights.
Mother Meachin, who took charge OF
the w~ardrobes, eyed her pityingly
She'd had children herself long ago
and as she saw how Marie shook and
trembled, and hearing the band, knew
mat in a few minutes more she would
be called, she pressed a fat, black bot
tie upon her, saying, with real kind
ness:
"Take a swallow, dearie; it'll heart
en- We up a bit; you are all shakin' like

But Marie, after only a sip, thrus
it from her, saying, family: mo

well-known music struck up and sh'
knew that her hour had come, the oil
