Battle at Bagtaon Is Outcome of Base
Treachery-3o Are Shot Down
Governor Curry of Samar, Chased
by Rebels, Still Missing-Hope for
.,is Recovery.

The recent fight at Magtaon, Samar,
between the constabulary and Pula-
james was the result Of base treachery
on the part of the natives. AS result
of the fight, 80 Pulajanes were killed
and 16 of the constabulary killed and
wounded.
A dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
said Governor Curry, Judge Lobinger
and Superintendent of Schools Hoover
arrived there and camped over night
near the Pulajanes. The presence OF
the officials was made known to the
rebellious natives, and their leader an
nounced that he would surrender his
force the next day. AS result of his
promise, the Americans returned to
the town of Magtaon, accompanied by
Colonel Aguillar, another Pulajane
chief
The next day four chiefs of the Pula-
james with over 100 men and IA guns,
appeared at Magtaon and lined up in
front of the constabulary barracks. Be-
tween the barracks and the Pulajanes
stood the group of American officials.
One Of the chiefs expressed wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Superintend-
ent Hoover, in compliance with their
request, was adjusting his camera,
when the Pulajanes leader blew a
whistle and gave an order to advance.
The entire party of natives then rush
ed upon the American officials, who
escaped to Magtaon river and swan to
the opposite bank. When the treach-
cry of the natives was apparent, the
constabulary Immediately opened fire
and fierce fight ensued, in which the
constabulary gained decisive victory.
The Pulajanes were chased to the
mountains, but the pursuers lost more
guns than they captured.
The American officials were later
found, with the exception of Governor
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by Pulajanes, and is now believed to
be hiding in the dense brush in that
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now
on the trail of the fugitive natives and
searching for Governor Curry.

DYNAMITERS IN NEW YORK.
Charles Moran and Others Have Been
Arrested.

Arrested.
Charles Moran, a member of the
bridgemen's union, who was arrested
several weeks ago with two other I'M
ion workers, charged with attempting
to dynamite the Bliss building now
being erected on East Twenty-third
street by Post & McCord, has made
complete confession to Assistant
District Attorney Train. Mr.. Train
says he implicated several others and
the New York and New Jersey branch
es of the union, declaring that they
furnished the money to have not only
the Bliss building, but other buildings
destroyed and the work of construc-
ton halted, because contractors insist
upon an open shop. The district at
torney's Office has refused to divulge
the names Of the walking delegates
involved.
Moran was arrested along with
Thomas Weir and John Guthrie by a
squad of central Office detectives as
they were about to place 20 pounds
of dynamite in the Bliss building and
blow it up.
A week after they were arrested
Guthrie confessed, duplicating Moran
and Weir and the walking delegates.
The story told to Assistant District
Attorney Train was substantially the
same as that recited by Guthrie.

Recently an Indian fakir appeared aE
circus in Berlin, where he astonisheA
the audience by lifting a boy with his
eyelids. The boy made himself as small
as possible, and was put into a net, b
which was secured a string that was
provided on each end with little CUP
just large enough to fit over the eye.
The fakir pressed these little cups over
his eyes, where they held fast, thea
threw his head back and slowly
Strengthened his body, thus lifting his
burden, which he then carried about
his arms being outstretched all the TINA
and finally lowered 1t slowly to tia
ground again. How Is 1t possible for
any man to do this? The only explain
alton is that the cups were fitted Int
the eye sockets so that they held ON
the edge Of the sockets, but 1t IL nos
likely that the trick will be initiated by
even those prestidigitators who consid-
er themselves very expert.

CURE CONSUMPTION BY COLOR.
White Clothing recommended for the
Patient.

White Clothing Recommended for the
Patient.
The Practitioner, the favorite organ
of many medical societies in London,
has been making many experiments
which tend to show that color has a
favorable effect on consumption. The
theory is that light has a favorable
effect on sufferers from pulmonary
troubles, and that this presumably is
due to the bactericidal action of the
rays. From this it has been inferred
that the clothing of consumptives
should be of such a nature as to al
low the light to penetrate with the
least amount of interference. For this
purpose white stuffs are best, and
therefore it is contended that con-
sumptives should wear clothing of
white linen, velvet, cotton or silk.
Next to white, garments of blue and
violet are to be recommended, though
they do not answer the purpose as
well as white.

IoNDoN's WHEAT MARKET.
Grain Trade Has Two Branches o
EXCHANGES,

Exchanges.
There are two distinct branches of
the grain trade in London, and two
markets or exchanges. Mark Lane, in
Mark Lane street, originally known as
the corn Market" is the market for
spot stuff" that is, grain or -four on
the spot, in vessels just arrived or in
warehouses on the docks. The tran
sactions are AL of jobblng nature
in parcels" consisting of 1000 to 49,
600 or more sacks $3.50 pounds) of
-four, or 1000 bushels and upward of
grain.
The other market is the Baltic" l..
e., the Baltic Mercantile Il Shipping
Exchange. This is 'the home of float
ing cargoes," and its members buy
grains and other products in the mar
kets of the world for shipment to Lon
don in cargo lots. The entire cargo,
however, is not necessarily all the
property of one house.
There has evolved from the Baltic
grain market, of necessity, the Corn
Trade association, which is probably
one of the most perfect working and
useful trade organizations in the
world. 1t has established uniform con-
tracts for use with the different grain
exporting countries, it fixes the stand
ard of grades, except with America and
Canada, and arbitrates all differences
between buyer and seller.
There is no future" market in Lon
don similar to the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Minneapolis Cham
Der of commerce and other. American
exchanges. Both the Baltic and Mark
Lane had future markets, where hedg-
ing and speculative trading was done,
until some four or five years ago, or
until. America ceased to be large ex-
porter of wheat American wheat was
at that time the basis for trading. Now,
Argentine or Plate" wheat is the
standard both in London and Liver
pool.

THE MOTE AND THE BEAM.
Miss Brett Has stopped Talking "a

Miss Brett Has stopped Talking "a
the Neglect of Others.
1t was Sunday noon, and Miss Brett
had just come out of church She was
unhappy. On other days her work
kept her busy, but on Sunday, even
though she went to church twice, there
were many hours left In which to re-
member that she had no home but a
clearinghouse fourth back" Eevn
at church 1t was not much better, for
she sat and envied the happy people
who came from homes
And not one of them all remembers
the hundreds of lonely women In board
ing houses" she thought week after
week. There was no question about It.;
Miss Brett was growing better.
She hurried past the groups Of
churchgoers to her boarding house
She was in the mood when the long
climb up the dark stairway offered the
satisfaction Of tangible grievance
Once she caught a glimpse of a woman
standing YEARLY by her window, look
ing down into the row of city back
yards, and once the door Of hall bed
room was pushed to at the sound OF
her footsteps; the pressure Of other
lonely Lives added to the burden Of her
discomfort.
Then suddenly something happened.
What are you doing about 1t your
self?"
The question came to her so clearly
that for bewildered moment she
thought some one had spoken. Then
she pushed her door to and dropped
into the nearest chair.
/ Well" she calculated. Miss Brett
might be bitter, but no one had ever
said that she was not honest. Alone
and untlinchingly she faced the accusa-
ton. When, two hours later, she rose
and took off her bonnet-she had en-
tirely forgotten her dinner-the matter
was clear.
I'm a nice one to talk Of others
duties when there's that poor thing IN
the hall bedroom next door who must
think my room palace. l can't say
l like her looks, but probably she
doesn't like mine. If I'm going to
grumble I'll do 1t honestly, at any
rate"
There was jar of milk on the win
dow-sill and some crackers in the box
that served her for pantry; also a box
Of honey which some impulse had made
her buy a week before. She arranged
