WARNING TO PARENTS.
Children Will Soon Make Bonfres of
 the Dead Leaves.


 Parents and others who have charge of children should keep a close watch on their movements during the next few weeks. The leaves are falling, and the little ones. not knowing the danger, take great delight in building fires i'll the lots and on the roadside. with the result that nearly every fall serious injuries have been reported from such pastime. The police officers and others who are aware of the dan ger of this business should do all in their power to put a stop to it. 1t should also be borne ill mind that there is a city ordinance covering the matter and those who take part in it leave themselves liable to arrest. But attention is not called to it on this ac- count. The aim is to put people on their guard so that we may be spared the painful duty of chronicling the death or serious accident of any of the little ones from this kind of sport.

The men who have reached Ta- nan say that the officers of the com pany, who were at first reported to have escaped, were killed with the ma jority of the company. T4e troops were attacked, while unprepared, by 400 bolomen, of whom the Americans killed about 14O. Many of the soldiers were killed in their quarters before they had time to grasp their rifles.
 General Hughes is going to the scene of the disaster and will person. ally comand the troops.
 The conditions in Tayants CTaya- basD and Batangas are not reassur- ing The worst form of guerilla war fare prevails there. The insurgent forces are distributed, under cover, along every road and trail, and wait for travellers in ambush. Yhe insur- gent leader Caballes a(who formerly be- longed to General Cailles's command, but who refused to surrender with Cailles) is retreating to the mountains. The main forces of the insurgents are. scattered i'll bands over the province, where they dig up rifles when there is an opportunity to use them.

oa.LueIs nrInes I.onu..

Foreign steamship companies have a rule by which the pay of captains and engineers is increased where no accidents occur for a year. On the British steamship lines the captains receive from $500 to z 1,200 a year, without perquisites. If, at the end of the year, a British commanders boat has met with no accident he gets bonus. The British lines think this system of reSn I'd has tendency to make commanders more careful. The pay of an engineer on the Ger man lines ranges from e240 to g 500 a year The pay of the British en- gineer does not differ materially from these figures, but he also re- ceives a bonus if his engines run without accident during the year.

TO CHANGE THE NAME.

It Has Been Suggested That the Phil
 ippines Be Called Mckinley Islands.
 New York, Sept BOA suggestion which is meeting with favor is to change the name of the Philippine Islands to the Mckinley Islands, says the Washington correspondent of The Tribune. It is intended to bring the proposition before the next Congress. A part of the scheme embraces the diff ferent islands and provinces the names of the men most prominently identi- fled with the acquisition and manage ment of the islands. For instance, the members of the American commis- sion which negotiated the Paris treaty would thus be honored as we'll as the names of Admiral Dewey, Gen Law ton, Gov Taft, Gen Otis, Secretary Root and others.
