.CAVITESLVE’T CLEAN

INSURGENTS ARE ARTFUL DODGERS

Several Thousand Warriors Escape
Capture Under Cover of the Night,
and Many Who \Vere Fighting
Suddenly Becozne Friendly.

MANILA, June 12.—-The Filipino oc-
cupation of the province of Cavite has
been broken, and as the result of the
present movement the Americans now
control the important coast towns of
Baranaquc and Las Pinas, while a long
line of insurgent trenches facing our
south line has been cleared.

The insurgents have again proved their
facility as dodgers, between 3,000 and
4,000 warriors who seemed destined to
be captured having disappeared, the ma-
jority sliding away under cover of the
night after lighting the Americans all
day. Some otheis came to meet our
troops 55ith piotestations of 1'1iendship.

The Tl1i1teenth infantry lost one man
killed and six 55 ounded; the Ninth infan—
gtiy, one man killed and five wounded;
l the Fourteenth inf-1nt1'y, three wounded,
and the First Colorado volunteer regi-
ment, 11 wounded.

Saturday’s work was the hardest our
army has ever seen. The battlefield
stretched out across the entire isthmus
from Laguna de Bay to the ha1bor.

The United States monitor Blonadnock
and the gunboat Helena shelled Para-
naque and Las Pinas all day with the
full pow er of their batteries.

The rebel sharpshooters kept in hiding
until the A111011candmes had passed and
then attempted to pot stragglers from
the t1ees.Th-.1nks to their p001 marks—
manship, this was 551thout result.

At the outset the Colorados, the Ninth
infantry and the Twenty— first infantry
forced the line of insurgent trenches,
wheeled to the left and drove the enem5
toward the lake. During this maneuver
the Filipinos. in concealed trenches on
the right. opened an enlilading fire, but
the. brigade, par'tl5 owing to the high
grass, had few hit.

The Ninth infantry crept around to the
right. flanking the t1cnches, d115 111" out
the Filipinos and killing n1a115 of them.

The Colorado regiment ad5 anced t0 the
lake. T550 companies cncountcred trench-
es 011 top of a knoll, where the F ilipinos
stood waist high abo5e a trench, pouring
a vol] 95 upon the advancing Americans.
The Coloradoans charged and drove them
out, Lieutenant Colonel Moses being
wounded in the arm as he jumped into
the trench.

In the meantime General \Vheaton’s
column advanced one and a half miles
toward Paranaque, where the Americans
found a strong trench 011 :1 ridge, out of

 

fighting.

The enemy tried to flank the dismount-
ed tioops of t‘ 1e Fourth c115 a115, accom-
pan5 mg Major General Lawton, and at
the same time they made their 01115 ad—
vance. throwing a skirmish line to flank
the Fourteenth infant1'5. But they were
eas: ly repulsed, the Auie1ican artillery
coming to the crest of the hill and shell-
ing them.

About 3 o’clock in the at telnoon Gen-
eral \Vheaton’ s brigade, heuled h5 Gen-
eral Lawton, who, in his white clothing
and helmet, on a big black horse, was a
shining mark for the enemy's sharpshoot-
ers, circled to the south of Las Pinas,
encountering a large force of Filipinos in
the shelter of the trees. General Lawton
had a narrow escape. In the first volley
of the enemy the horses of three of his
staff officers were shot from under them.
The Colorado regiment bore the brunt 9f
this attack and dispersed the Filipinos.

Hardly had they finished off that lot,
when a large force appeared in the rear,
which the Ninth infantry and a part of
the Colorado regiment d1'05e away. By
this time nearly the whole division was
around Las I” mas

The Americans camped for the night
south of the town and in the midst of a
heavy rain. '

At 6 o’clock yesterday morning Gener-
al \‘5'11011ton advanced upon Las Films
with a troop of cavalry, the Twenty—first
infantry, the Colorado regiment, part of
the Ninth infantry and two mountain
guns, crossing two streams and entering
the town without firing a shot'.

He then advanced upon Paranaque.

The women and children, and, for that
matter, many men, remained in the
towns. No houses were destroyed, though
‘many were torn by the shells from the
warships. Everywhere the Americans
found white flags flying.

So far as can yet be ascertained the
Filipino loss is about 50 killed, about 350
wounded and 20 taken prisoners.

The whole country is networked with
trenches, and the enemy skurried from
shelter to shelter.

Long tiains of commissary wagons are
carrying pro5isions to the United States
troops along the road which only yester-
day was the stronghold of the. enemy,
andthe natives who were probably car-
rying guns are now dofling their hats and
groveling before the Americans with ef-
fusive greetings of welcome.

The Colorado regiment returned to bar-
racks in Manila last night. As the rag-
ged and dusty men marched past the
Luneta, the fashionable gathering place
for Manilans, they were heartily cheered.

Movement a Great Success.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-—The war
department has received a report from
Major General Otis‘of the military move-
ment to the south of Manila for the pur-.
pose of clearing out the rebels in that
section. It shows that the movement

- was a great suCccss and that the enemy’s

loss was considerably greater than stated
in the press dispatches. General Otis'
cablegram is nted Manila, June 11, and
is as follows:

“Terrific heat yesterday did not permit
troops to reach positions at hours desig-
nated; enabled majority of insurgents to
escape in scattered organizations south
tward, which they effected'dur-
ing the evening and night. Movement
gieat success, however; enemy disorgan-
ized and routed, sufiering heavy loss;
troops resting today at Las Pinas and
Paranaque. Navy did excellent execu-
tion along more of bay, but many insur-

gent detachments retired in that direo
,tion protected by presence of women
and children, whom they drive along
with them._ 0111' loss four killed and
some 30 wounded. Report of casualties
later. Conservative estimate of enemy’s
loss about 4

SPOEE "an..." 211' HIS BIRTH.

Story Jl‘old of Arthur Twining Had-
ley, the New President of
Yale University.

 

 

Arthur Twining Hadley, who has re-
cently been elected to succeed Tim-
othy Dwight as president of Yale
university, is the son of the late
Prof. James Hadley, of Yale, whose
name is more or less pleasantly as-
sociated in the minds of students of
the ancient Greek language and litera-
ture for the last 30 years as the author
of a. grammar of that vonderful
tongue. The younger Hadley was a
student from the cradle, always stand-
ing at the head of his class. He was the
valedictorian of the class of ’70 at
Yale. He might have said of himself,
as did John Stuart Mill, that he could
not remember the time when he did not
know Greek.

In his undergraduate days, says the
Chicago Chronicle, this story was cur-
rent as showing his precocity: When
he was born the infant gasped almost
instantly the .Greek Word, “ 31' chomai,”
which is usually translated “I come,’
sometimes “I have come,” although it
is of the present tense. Prof. Hadley
smiled with pride at this evidence of

’ heredity, patted the infant on the back

and mildly corrected him by saying:
“Elthon,” another tense of the same
verb, known as the “second aoristfl and
expressing to the ancient Athenian the
idea of, indefinite past time.

It is common report that at an age
“hen most boys are in the kindergar-
ten the distinguished scholal would not
l1a5e been able to trip up his son in even
so t1 ifling an error.

BARB.T S THOUSANDS

Chicago VVom'an Masseuse “’hose
Hand‘s Bring Her About
' $3,000 Yearly.
.——L

Half the world is as ignorant of how
the other half makes its money as of
how it lives. There is a Chicago wom—
an, for instance, who earns with her
hands yearly sums that would make the
average brainworker envici‘us. She
does not paint, nor write, nor design,
1101' make dresses, nor do any of the
things that one usually picks out as
woman’s work. She earns this
money by givinglmassage to women,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.

She is not in any way an impressive
woman. She is ofmedium size and mid-
dle age. She gives one the idea of
being in perfect health and of being
kindly and sympathetic. Otherwise
there is nothing noticeable about her.
But her patrons consider her :1 won-
derful woman.

Most of her work is done at the homes
of her patrons, though they may come
to her establishment at about half the
home rate. She rubs a woman an hour
at each visit, and her patrons are posi-
tive that she imparts to them a. tre-
mendous amount of vitality.

Of course, there are many such worn.
en. The only remarkable thing about
this particular woman is the amount of
money she earns. Her monthly re-
ceipts run from $200 to $300, every dol-
lar of which she earns personally.

AMERICAN POTTERY.

The Soiiwclsa Is Almost as Lovely as

as Much.

American pottery has few peers in
these days of Souwelsa and Rookwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely-tinted
glaze ware shown in such graceful de-
sitns, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cousin
to Rookwood, but :1 poor relation, as it
costs about half as much as do the
symphonies in .polished greens and
browns. It has the some finish, the
some designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness 01" Rookvmod, al-

The polo-tinted American pottery is

mm OWNED ‘ BY NEGROES.

1n n \Vhtte People Are Employed w
Instruct the Colored
Labor.

 

Sixty hands are now daily employed
in the mill of the Coleman Manufac-
turing company at Concord, 25'. C., plac-
ing the machinery and getting the mill
ready to begin work. This is the mill
organ' 5 by colored people and to be
operate by colored labor, says the
Manufacturers’ Record, of- Baltimore.
Warren C. Coleman, the secretary and
treasurer, was instrumental in placing
.the stock, the bulk of which was sub-
scribed by colored people. The capital
stock is $50,000. The mill building is
80 by 120, three stories, with a tower
four stories and a chimney 20 by 1.00
feet, all neatly painted and white-
washed. A waterworks system has
.been built in connection with th mill,
the source of supply being a pring
1,100 feet distant. The company owns
100 acres of land adjoining the mill.
J. C. Speckin, of Indianapolis, is super-
intending the placing of a 200-horse
power Corliss engine and two 100 horse
power boilers.

When the mill begins operations

 

white people will be employed to in— ,

struct the colored labor. The mill and
its equipment cost about $65,000.
will operate 7,000 spindles and 100
100 .5. All its ofiicers are colored. By

It'

its charter it will be allowed to spin, :

weave, manufacture, finish and sell
warps, yarns, cloth, prints or other
fabrics made of cotton, wool or other
material.

HAWLEY’S STORE CLOTHES.

The Fitteen-Dollnr Suit Which the
Senator from Connecticut
. Sports in Europe.

 

Some months ago Senator Hawley
sent a messenger for one of the com-
mittee clerks of the senate, says the
Detroit Journal. When the clerk
reached Senator Hawley he was some-
what astonished to have the old man
ask?

“How much did you pay for that suit.
of clothes?”

The clerk was so surprised that, he
did not answer until the senator reflect-
ed the qpestion, when he said:

teen dolla1s.”
at’s what I heard,” said the sen-
ator. “Where did you get it ‘2’}

The clerk told him, and stood ex-
pectantly wondering if he was to learn
why. the Connecticut statesman was
taking such a. great interest in his

clothes. The inquisitor relieved him

by saying:

“Every time I go to England I hear
a lot. of bragging about their £3
clothes. I am tired of it. I am going
to wear a suit just like the one you have
on andshow them that we can make as
good clothes for $15 a suit as they can."

Senator Lodge is also now touring Eu—
rope in a $15 suit of clothes. To look at
the clever Massachusetts senator one
would suspect him of being the most
expensively dressed man in the senate.

As a matter of fact, the members of
what is sometimes known as the “Mil-
lionaires’ Club” are rather fond of buy-
ing cheap business suits. One of them
told the writer that he bought his suits
of a concern in New York that manu-
factured to order 60, 000 of these suits a
year. The manufacturer said that he

_ made less than one dollar apiece on

them.
