ANOTHER FIGHT WON
Troops Under MacArthur Re;
pulse Filipino Attack.
THE ASSAULT LEDBY AGUINNLDO.
Spanish Officer Claims to Have Wit-
nessed the Killing of Luna—There
Are Seine Doubts, However, as
to the Truth of His Story.
MANILA, June 17.—After cutting the
.- railroad and telegraph at Apalit, seven
miles south of this city, for the purpose
of severing all connection with the main
body of- troops, the rebels attacked Gen-
eral MacArthur’s lines at San Fernando
'at half past 4 o’clock yesterday morning.
They met with an unexpectedly warm
reception and were repulsed with a loss
of 75 killed, 30 prisoners and many
wounded.
The rebel force, estimated at 5,000, ad-
vanced steadily from the jungle north of
the city and then divided, With the evi-
dent purpose of surrounding the Ameri-
cans. ‘
The outposts of the Iowa regiment dis-
coveled the enemy and retired to their
lines. The Iowa and Kansas regiments
were fi1st attacked. They 1eser1ed their
fire until the enemy was within 600-
yards. The first volley hit [the rebels
and stopped them. Then the“ Americans
sallied out, and the insurgents fled.
The American loss was 14 wounded,
the majority of them slightly.
Aguinaldo is repoxted to have person-
ally conducted the attack, and p1epara-
tions were made f01 several days to bring
t1oops from Candaba and Dagupan.
The first news of the Filipino advance
was given by a telegraph operator, who
was sent to the bridge at Apalit to as-
certain the cause of a break in the wire.
He was compelled to beat a hasty retreat
under fire.
A Spanish officer who has been a pris-
oner in the hands of the rebels and who
was released by Aguinaldo has come
through our lines to Manila. He claims
to have been a witness of the assassina-
tion of General Luna. According to his
story, the relatioxo; between the two Fili-
, pino leaders have been strained to the
breaking point because of Luna’s at-‘
tempts to assume control of afiairs, and
the final'rupture was forced by Aguinal-
do issuing secret orders to" the provincial
go1e111ments. Luna thereupon notified
Ag linaldo. demanding copies of the docu-
ments, and Aguinaldo replied curtly' that
Luna was a' general of the army and that
the civil government did not concern him.
Luna, on opening the reply at his head-
quarters in the presence of his officers,
exclaimed hotly:
“He will be dead tomorrow.”
One officer, who was friendly to Agui-
naldo, hastened to warn him, and Agui—
naldo called together 20 trusted soldiers.
fellow townsmen of his. and stationed
them around his house with instructions
to kill any one attempting to enter, re—
gardless of rank.
Luna appe.11ed the next day and saw
Aguinaldo at the window.
A membe1 of the guaid said, “Aguinal-
do has gone to inspect the t100ps.”
Luna then exclaimed. “You are a liar!”
drew his revolver, struck the.guard and
tried to force an entrance into the house.
Before he could use his revolver one of
the guards bayoneted him. another shot
him in the back and others stabbed'him.
In all he had 20 wounds. Luna‘s aid de
camp was killed in the same way.
The Spaniard's story has not entirely
dispelled the doubts of Luna’ s death. and
bets that he is alive are f1 eely made at
the clubs. Some people think Aguinaldo
has taken pains to send the Spaniard
here with his story for the furtherance of
some diplomatic scheme, while others
suspect Aguinaldo has been assassinated
by Luna’s men.

The‘ Philippine Re-enforcements.
\VASHINGT'ON, June 17.-—Under the
most favorable circumstances it will be
hardly possible for the government to in-
crease its army in the Philippines up to
the 35,000 limit before the 1st of Au—
gust. About 6,000 of the troops destined
for service in the Philippines and includ-
ed in the proposed 35,000 force are still
in this country and will not be able to
reach the scene of action for five or six
weeks. The officials of the war depart-
ment have arranged for the immediate
preparation of thetransports Sheridan,
Pennsylvania, Zealandia and Valencia.
These vessels are all at San Flancisco
and have a total capacity of 4, 400. Un-
less present plans n11sca11 y all these ves-
sels will start for Manila before the end
of the month. In addition to these re-
cnfoncements provision will have to be
made for the transportation of about
1,700 recruits now undergoing instruc-
tion at the Presidio, at San Francisco,
and the Nineteenth legiment of infantry,
numbering about 1, 300 men, now in
camp at Middletown, Pa. »

action brought against him'by Berry to

mediately upon Dagg‘ett’s release he was

[It Consisted in 'Wlnnowing Rice
from ~Grain by Rapidly \Vhirl-
ing‘ Himself About.
“One day in the market place of an
inland village I saw a curious perform-
ance,’ ’writes an East Indian travelei
in the Cincinnati Enquirer. “It was
conducted by two men—one old. and
emaciated, carrying a native drum; the
other young and well fed, fantastically
gowned with anoverskirt of colored
handkerchiefs and a multitude of bells,
which jangled noisily at his slightest
movement; long, ragged hair—altoa
gether a hideous figure. .
“The drummer began a weird tom
toming and the other man an incanta
tion. Then he extended a. ‘supra’—a
bamboo tray used by all natives—on
which anyone who pleases places a.
large handful of rice and the same
quantity of grain. The two ingredi-
ents are thoroughly amalgamated, so
that it would in the ordinary way take
hours to separate them.
“Now the fantastic man with his tray ‘
begins. He turns around slowly, grad-
ually quickenjng his pace (the drum-
mer also keeping time), faster and
faster, in a giddy vortex, the tray at
times almost out of his hands, yet so
cleverly handled that not a grain falls
out. It is very trying to-waieh, but in
a couple of minutes both stop simul-
taneously, and the man shows to the
wondering spectators two little heaps,
one of the rice and the other grain, at
different ends of the tray, which in his
sickening gyrations he has been able
to separate by some extraordinary
manipulation.”
AN OLD FRAUD.
How His Pretty Stenographer Went
Out to Lunch and Fooled
the Boys.
The framing‘of half the criticism in
the world is dependent upon the way
one looks upon things, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. “There!”
exclaimed the cynic, in triumph, point-
ing across the restaurant with a lean
finger, “I told you the old man’s piety
was fraudulent. Just look at him—
bringing his stenographer here to
lunch!” The stenographer part of the
charge was true and, to make it more
dreadful, she was provokingly pretty.
“The old man”—a merchant of years
and repute—looked (oh, sorrow, to
tell it!) quite unashamed. He threw
aside the bill of fare, gave a hurried
order to the waiter and a nod to the
fair stenographer.
The latter promptly produced a book
and began taking notes at his dicta-
tion. The cynic fafy'ly hugged himself.
“Oh,” he whispered, “what a. bluff!
Pretending he’s bringing her here to
work. Boys, isn’t it side-splitting?”
The “boys” agreed that it was. The
elderly merchant dictated swiftly and
the pretty stenographer’s pencil flew
over the paper. ’
In 12 minutes the waiter appeared
bearing dainty dishes and—the elderly
merchant dismissed the pretty sten-
ographer and proceeded to ,aijoy his
luncheon. leisurely, and alone. “The
beast!” sighed the cynic softly. “to
send as sweet a maid as that away hun-
gry.” And the boy's agreed to that.
