Pretended Friendly Noncombntants
., Cut the Telegraph Lines Before
the Attack—Fixe Oregon Men
Amhnshed—Tvso Are Killed.
'1‘.lANIL'A, April 12. ——Early yesterday
morning: a viarge force of insurgents
tack upon the First Minnesota infantry,—.
which was guarding the-railroad {in the
vicinity of Bocave, and the fighting
soon became general between Marilao
and Guiginto. General VJheaton came
down from Malolos with re-enforce-
‘ments as soon as possible, and an arm-
ed railway train was also brought into
requisition, with the result that the
rebels 'were routed and put- to flight.
The losses of.the enemy in killed and
losses of the Americans were three kill-
ed and 15 w.ounded ' '
P1 evious to the insurgents’ attack the
telegraph wires had been cut by non-
combatant Filipinos pretending to be
friendly, and this considerably hamper-
ed the Americans in communicating
with Malolos for re-cnforcements. '
Monday night five men of the Twen—
ty-flrst Oregon infantry who were pa-
trolling the railroad near Malinta were
ambushed by the insurgents, and two
of them were killed and three wounded.
For several nights past signal fires
have been burned in ,the mountains to
the east, so that the attack of the in-
surgents was not altogether unex-
pected.

Strikes Advuntngeous.
WASHINGTON, April 12.—John
Mitchell. president of the United Mine
Workers of the United States, was be-
fore the industrial commission yester-
day. Mr. Mitchell contended that strikes
did not result in any loss to the miners,
because the capacity of the mines was
so much greater than the demand for
their products that they were necessa-
rily idle a great deal of the time even
when no strikes are Ofi‘. In support of
this assertion Mr. Mitchell said that in
1897,
among the miners occurred, the men
actually worked more days than in the
previous year when there was no strike.
On the other hand, there was a positive
advantage in strikes, as they generally
resulted in concessions.

rey and the other women who ate the
