The force opposed to uh was about f-fjual in strength to our division, and w;ls an enemy not to be despised, as It vas made up mostly of former native regiments of the Hpanish army.

This w as not long In com in '.r, and we began deploying across the plain which separated us from the Filipino army, which was determined to prevent the capture of their capital. We were erasing an almost level plain, and nearly all of the two brigades could be seen at one time, as they pllently advanced in a long. Irregular line toward the woods that sheltered the enemy's outpost line. It was a spectacle enough to inspire any man. It looked like a maneuver, but It was war. Already the woods l.."00 yards on our front wore crackling and popping and the bullets were kicking up dust spots on the dry ground.

m FAILURES AFFECT MURK

Feeling of Unrest and Many in Trade Anxious to Throw Grain Into Pits and Wait Till Clouds Pass.

MY JOSEPH F. PIIITCJIAJU). CHICAGO. June 13. The financial difficulties rurrounding the ijasalle Street Trust and Savings bank and the consequent failure of Sidney Long and company to meet their debts In the board of trade clearing house was against the grain markets. There was a feeling of unrest and many in the trade were anxious to throw their grain into the various pits and vrait until the financial cloud had passed on before making' new commitments. The fact that C. D. Munday, vice president of the Lasalle Street bank, was reported as the controlling interest in the grain house in financial -difficulties, proved to be the principal factor favoring the hears. The entire grain list closed at lower levels, 3-8i l-2c for wheat, l-47-8c for corn and 1-41 l-2c for oats. There was a partial halt in speculation in the various markets following the announcement of the financial difficulties of the bank and the grain house referred to above. The rains in

Kansas over night caused some buying of wheat during the early hours of the session as it was feared by the shorts that wet weather would cause a halt in the harvesting of this grain, and that the expected receipts would tail to put in an appearance. There was a fair business in the way of purchases of new wheat in the southwest and this was fully offset by the sales of that grain to ro abroad. Export bids, however, were reported out of line at Chicago, but the seaboard houses claimed there was a fair business passing not only in our nev and old wheat, but in Canadian wheat as well. Vessel room was chartered here for 400,000 bushels of wheat to go to Buffalo and Georgian bay at a rate 7-Sc for both points. The corn market was weak and 1-4 7-Sc lower. Sentiment was bearish, which was the result of more favorable conditions in Argentina. The cash sules here were small at 100,000 bushels and vessel room was chartered for 140,000 bushels to Buffalo: Longs in July corn at Liverpool were free sellers in the belief that the receipts there during next month will be on a larger scale than for some time. A cargo of Argentine corn was received in the big English market today and as the condition was good there was com sold not only in that market, but in other positions. Oats suffered losses of l-4Ti3-Sc in sympathy with the weak spots in wheat and corn. The market was active and the best prices of tho day were reached early. On the hard spots there was liberal selling by longs and the buying was led hy shorts. Rain? ever part of the oats belt combined with the weakness in other grains had a depressing effect. The provision trade was confined to a few Interests and business was only moderate in consequence. Hogs were

up ofilOc which induced some investment buying uf lard am1 n ':..- by prhate wire concerns. The selling was largely local and was in part influenced by the weakness in the rain markets.

Here an examination disclosed the wound of entrance In his right shoulder, and also the supposed exit of the bullet in the form of a hole in his right side just where his cartridge belt had been. Sent Into the First Reserve hospital in Manila, he was treated under the very natural supposition that he was rid of his bullet, but eleven days after his admission one of tho nurses in bathing the man noticed what appeared to be a swelling just above his right knee. Calling the attention of the surgeon to the matter, that individual went after the object with his instruments, and extracted a Mauser bullet. The missile, traversing his body lengthwise close to the surface, had struck the tight and unyielding belt where it would have made its exit .but, being foiled, and having considerable energy left, had continued its journey through the unfortunate man's anatomy until its force was expended just above the knee. It is disturbing to bo shot through the body in the orthodox manner, but it is enough to make one positively peevish to have a hole drilled through him lengthwise. Astonishing to relate, the man recovered in a short time.

We continued the advance by rushes until within about 200 yards of the enemy, when the "Charge" sent the two battalions over the remaining ground In no time, the enemy's weak line bolting into the woods. The men of company Ci had a bulldog that they had brought with them from Coffey ville. Kansas, and of which they wore exceedingly fond. I had hoard much of the antics of this animal in battle, and on this occasion had an opportunity to see his perform. He was perfectly frantic with excitement, apparently thinking that the whole show was something for his especial benefit, and ran up and

Suddenly we heard a most terrific crashing In the woods to our left as the third artillery engaged In a desperate close-range struggle in which It lost about HO men killed and wounded, and in an instant the woods on our own front added to the pandemonium. It was exceedingly diflicult to decide what to do. To rush the men down to tho river, which we could now make out about 3d0 yards ahead of the lino, might place the regiment in a position where it would be shot to pieces by the well-intrenched enemy on the opposite bank in case it should be too deep to wade. To retire was of course out of the question, so the only thing to do was to close as rapidly as possible and take chances on the depth of tho stream. So the companies on the tiring line now rushed down the bank, threw themselves flat, and fought desperately. As soon as I reached the tiring lino I motioned, for no commands could be heard, for some of the men to get into the water and try to cross. Capt. William J. Watson, commanding company E, and two or three men plunged in and struggled across, the water being nearly to their shoulders, and were followed by a number of others, the men holding their rifles over their heads. As the first of these men came up the bank the Filipinos bolted, knowing it was all over. I saw IJeut. Colin H. Ball do some good short-range work with his revolver.
