FIGHTING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Buppo*ed Friendly Filipinos Surprise American Troops. Gen. Wheaton occupied Peres das Marinas Tuesday morning after moderately heavy fighting. Gen. Wheaton bivouacked in • field Monday night, and early in the morning advanced on the rebel stronghold of Perez das Marinas, near which place Monday the insurgents in foree were so gallantly resisted by a small reconnoitering party under Maj. Bubb. Gen. Wheaton’s advance wag contested by the rebels, but after moderately heavy fighting the Americans occupied Peres das Mariuas. After occupying the town, Gen. Wheaton oxamined the sanitation, which he decided was so bad as to make it dangerous to garrison the place. The rebels mutilated American dead. The bodies of two soldiers of the Fourth infantry, who fell in the running fight back of Imus, were left behind by their comrades. The bodies were afterward found with the right ears cut off, throats cut and slashes across the face.

An all-day battle between Gen. Wheaton’s force and the insurgent -army was fought near the city of Imus Monday. One battalion of the Fourth infantry, while reconnoitering, was attacked in the rear by a band of supposed friendly natives, The Americans stood their ground pluckily and were out of ammunition when Wheaton led a strong force to their help. The insurgents fought well, taking advantage of the woods, and were driven back with difficulty. little progress was made until late in the afternoon, when the native force was dislodged from a dense timber. The Americans lost five in dead and twenty-five in wounded. It is known that the Filipino loss was very heavy. On effecting the capture of Perea das Marinas Maj. Babb’s battalion, composed «f 300 men belonging to the Fourth infantry, was surrounded on aU sides by the Filipinos, who were abont 2,000 in number. Nothing bnt the most determined bravery saved the Americans from being entirely wiped oat. Maj. Bnbb’s battalion had been sent from Imus to take possession of Perea das Marinas. On arriving within two miles of the town the alcalde met them and formally surrendered the place. The houses along the road were filled with Filipinos of the friendly variety. These pretended to welcome the Invaders. When within a short distance of Perea das Marinas Maj. Bnbb discovered that the enemy had lines running parallel to the road and that his force wit practically hedged in. • Gen. Wheaton was fired on in a road •nd had a narrow escape. Later the Third battalion was ordered to the front •and formed on the Las Minas road. Finally the Americans secured a quantity of Filipino arms which had been abandoned in the woods. The scene of the fighting is over twenty miles from Manila.

CYCLONE SMASHER.

A (laicaaro Mon Claim* that He Can Head Them Off. The invention of the “cyclone annihila4or” is announced by E. D. Betts, a Chicago m»n- The device has been offered to the United States Government by the inventor. The annihilator is a small cannon with a weather vane and an air trigger. The weather vane is for the purpose of aiming the cannon, which rests upon a vertical pivot. When a cyclone approaches, the vane tarns the cannon so it points directly at the funnel-shaped cloud. When the wind reaches a velocity •f sixty-five miles an hoar it will spring the trigger and fire the cannon. The projectile fired into the revolving cloud will throw it off its balance and it wHI scatter into a harmless zephyr. Ili im, *!■ I. i. Hi ,iii i ■ 1... .'.I. ..I

ANGLO-VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.

Difficulty that Nearly Cause 1 a Rupture with England. Ex-President Garrison is in Paris representing Venezuela at an international tribunal of arbitration to settle the question

which nearly caused a rupture between England and this country four years ago. Great Britain and Venezuela both claim the same territory along the border between Venezuela and British Guiana. Mr. Harrison is Venezuela's chief counsel. Having made a thorough investigation of

BEN HABRISON.

ail the claims involved, he has come to the conclusion that England has rights only in a narrow strip of land in the eastern part of the disputed territory. He will contend for the Venezuelan Government that the proper boundary line should be near the 69th parallel of latitude. Great Britain has claimed it to be westward of the 63d parallel, including several exceedingly rich gold mines. It will be recalled that the United States took no stand as to what was the true boundary between the two states mentioned, but insisted simply that Great Britain submit to Venezuela’s demand for arbitration on the subject. Great Britain refused and President Cleveland issued the memorable message which resulted in an American commission of investigation to determine the true boundary. The commission did not have to finish its work because, after a long correspondence between Lord Salisbury and Secretary of State ftichard Olney, Great Britain finally consented to arbitration, and by a special treaty agreed with Venezuela to accept the decision of a given,tribunal on the disputed territory. The land in dispute is over 60,000 square miles in extent, greater than the areas of New York, Connecticut and Massachnsetts combined# Venezuela lays claim to all the territory west of the Essequibo river.

OLD TIMERS

A New Yorker died from excessive tea drinking the other day at the age of 83. _ Dr. George W. Chittenden, who died at Janesville, Wis., at the age of 79, was the oldest practicing physician in Wisconsin, and was widely known throughout the State.

Mrs. Mary P. Coats of Philadelphia celebrated her 102 d birthday on Thursday. Her family- was represented in every war from that of the revolution to the civil war> and it was a great source of grief to her that her sons were too old to enlist in the Spanish war.

The pallbearers at the funeral of Miss Mary Batennan, who died last week at the age of 70, were, in compliance with her particular request, all young bachelors. Miss Baterman was a resident for a long time previous to her death of the town of Sparkill, N. Y. The death of Mrs. Jnlia A. Hedges, 96 years old, of senile decay, at Indianapolis, developed that her husband, who is still living, is 106 years old. Mr. Hedges still hears and talks readily, and he is physically quite active, but his memory is treacherous. Their only support is a pension on account of, a son killed in the civil war. Mr. and Mrs. Hedges had lived together seventy years. Several of their children are still living. Harrison steed, whose death at Jacksonville, Fla., at the age of 86 years, is announced, was the first editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, and was a member of the constitutional convention of Wisconsin. During the civil War he held an office in the Treasury Department, and at its close he moved to Jacksonville. In May, 1868, he was elected Governor of Florida, and served two terms, until January, 1873. Ih 1878 he waa elected to the Stats Assembly for two years. Since then ho had lived la retirement at his homo la

IN TENTS AND CELLARS.

Herman’s Homeless Citizen* Fed and Housed by Clurltr. Five handled homeless citizens of Herman, Neb., are leading a very primitive existence in the devastated place. At night they crawl into tents provided by the good people of the State, or "burrow into the cellars of their wretched homes like so many rats. The picture is a most distressing one. At meal times they crowd around the church, the only remaining structure, which is used as a morgue, hospital, relief depot and telegraph and repotori al office for the correspondents. The property damage is $200,000, with practically no insurance. A special police force of thirty men 'V&s necessary to discourage vandalism. The place was being denuded even of the broken and dilapidated household goods. No one pretends t» be able to pick -out his property. It is all thrown into one great pile, which coves several acres. But it is practically valueless. The twister formed from a mass of fleecy clouds in Dane valley, half a mile from Herman. The vapor-like mass suddenly seemed to turn black as ink. and with a roar like a thousand railroad engines traveling up a grade started down the valley, beating into splinters everything it touched. It seemed to churn the very earth.

The freaks of the great black ball were numerous. Anderson Hopkins was blown through the side of his barn, and the kitchen stove, in whiclf a fire was burning, followed him. The dehris was ignited and the farmer bnrned to death. Farmer Lennox saw it coming and got his family into a storm cellar, but he was carried high in the air and hong up in the branches of a tree. Later a horse passed through the air like a cannon ball and dislodged the farmer. A party of traveling men took refuge in the cellar of the hotel at the village. The hotel was swept away and a struggling horse was suddenly deposited in the midst of the frightened commercial men. The animal began to rear and plunge, and the drummers, as a matter of self-preservation, threw the animal to the ground by main force and sat upon him until the cyclone had passed. Maj. Burdick, being asked what the relief committee should send in, as indicating the extent of the devastation, remarked: “We need anything and everything required by a well-regulated family, except kindling wood.” Had it not been for the farmers of the surrounding country, who came into the village with supplies, the people would have staYved. Viators crowded the village by the thousands, and what little had been sent in they helped eat. The people have not only to be fed but clothed. Relief is being furnished by all Nebraska and lowa.

YELLOW FEVER IN MEXICO.

Plague Appears at Tehuantepec-Over 500 Canes in Vera Crux Advices have been received of the appearance of yellow fever in its most virulent form in the city of Tehnantepec and other places on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico. There is a large American colony of coffee planters ia that section, and fears are entertained that the disease has appeared among them. The epidemic now extends along the coast from Vera Crus to the Guatemalan border, and hundreds of deaths have already occurred. In the city of Vera Cruz there are over 600 cases, and the epidemic is spreading there rapidly. Yellow fever in its most malignant form has appeared among the American marines stationed about the city wharves in Havana, and the utmost alarm is felt among all Americans, soldiers and civilians alike. The only death reported thus far is that of Private Kebr, who died after being sick thirty-six hours.

Cyclone Not the Act of God.

In nine pnlpits at Eau Claire, Wh, Sunday the cyclone at New Richmond was the subject of sermons. The general sentiment expreseed was that it was a mysterious dispensation of Providence, bat the Rev. Joseph Moran of the Episcopal Church said it was the devilish wo tk of an unknown power and not she-act nr God. John Smithy Ml Jo

SUIT TO BREAK A WILL FAILS

■M* to Be Void. j TRatoßeam of Oliver A. Hewlett vs. JBrjt B. Hubbard, in the Laporte Cirmrffct Court; has been brought to a sudden ending by a decision of Judge Richter. Hbwhitt was married several years ago in -Stacft County. He left there and went tn> reside in Berrien County, Michigan. Mbs, Hewlett applied for a divorce, causing; notice to be served on Hewlett by personal service of the sheriff of*-Berrien County, Michigan. The sheriff served the summons and made his return to the Stark County. Indiana, eonrt, upon receipt of which the divorce was granted. Hfewiett, who was 40 years of age, then married Mrs. Haine, a wealthy widow of Mew Carlisle, this State. She died, willing her property to relatives. Hewlett then brought suit against the administrator of the estate, Mrs. Mary E. Hubbard. Ex-Congressman Benjamin F. SHhroly raised the point that the divorce granted, by the Stark County Circuit Court to Mrs. Hewlett was null and void ttnrtfae reason that notification of the application for divorce had not been published! in a weekly paper in Stark County, as provided by law, when the defendant resides- in another State. Judge Richter held: that the point was well taken and the big will case collapsed.

FARMERS DUCK A DEPUTY.

Wafcgonnaiaaioiirr Having Hard Time with Violators of Game Laws. Oscar Welty, of Kokomo, who, since the resignation of J. J. Hildebrandt, of Rogansport, as deputy fish commissioner, has been looking after violators of the fish, ami game laws, is not finding his lot aot easy nor a pleasant one. At Burlington. a few days ago, he was roughly handled by some farmers who do not believe in the new fish law. which prohibits fishing: in any manner in the running streams of the State dnring the months off May and Jane. The farmers decided to- make it warm for Welty, who had been keeping an open eye in their neighborhood, and they blacked themselves up with- burned cork and proceeded to Wild Cht: creek to fish. One of their number was detailed to let Welty into the secret ff>rr half he might make out of the ease. The officer made his way to the place and: ad the point of his revolver placed the men under arrest and lined them up upon the bank of the creek, but the violators off the law watched their chance and: disarmed the deputy, who was dragged: into the water and made to promise, afler being almost “ducked” to death, that: he would not molest them again.

MURDER NEAR KOKOMO.

Hetecr losod, Shot and with Hia Hintl Crushed In. Eoxther Sampson, living on the Jonas Hhrtes farm, six miles southwest of Kokomo. wasj found with his head crushed and a. bullet in his body. At 2 o’clock the other- morning he was awakened by a noise in the yard, aud thinking his cattle had; broken in, he went to drive them awvay. When but a few feet from the dber a masked man stepped out from the -hmbbery and felled him with a sandbag. The assassin then fired a bullet at the fieaaY of the prostrate and unconscious man and disappeared before he could be recognized by the family.

GREAT OIL STRIKE

team Barrel* an Hoar. The Standard Oil Company completed the largest oil well that has "been drilled in. the Indiana field for over a year. It is located on the Nelson farm, in Washington Township, and is flowing forty-five barrels- an hour. It is a monstrous prot Hirer ami at the present price of Indiana ernth-, 86 cents a barrel, is paying its owners-as well as a Klondike claim. The big strike will greatly stimulate opera-tions-in that portion of the field.
