been laid. When the time of action
comes, the organization which gives con-
tdence and strength is not in ocular ex-
istence. 1t is only ON paper. Each man
as he grasps his weapon and rushes out
into the street to begin the work of
slaughter discovers that he is operating as
an individual, and not as an integral Of
an organization, and therefore feels that
he is fighting the whole police force alone.
Even the best and bravest of men cannot
be relied upon under such conditions,
much less men who, like the FilipinOs,
were personally in fear of the men whom
they We're about to encounter.
Every Filipino who has been in con-

know anything of them feels that the
American physically and morally is his

This excitement had about quieted down
when there was an outbreak in the north
ern portion of the city, in the Tondo dis
trict. Two companies of the Minnesotas
were stationed there. About II o'clock a
bugle was blown near their quarters, and
then an assault was made upon them with
rifles. The men poured out of their quar-
ters and repelled the attack. By this time
the fires, which had been set simultan-
eClrsly with the attack, had enyeloped
many blocks of the nipa huts in flames,
and was spreading with great rapidity.

size leach 15x211a inches), and in vivid
colors, showing details of uniforms, flags,
arms, fields, woods, and the smoke and
fire of battle just as they appeared to the
eyewitness, have always sold for 81 each.
There are only few hundreds of each
picture left unsold, and We have pur-
chased all of them for distribution to our
patrons. When these are gone the pic
lures will be scarce and command q higher
price. This prospective increase of value
is characteristic of all our premiums this

If you, or your father, served under
