Ahout tlireo-quarters of a mile in front of tho Firtt brigade's outpost line was a dry water-ditch, quite deep, and more than half a mile lon'. Kvery morning tho First Montana sent out a patrol to ascertain if this ditch had heen occupied by the enemy durinv the nl.qht. On approaching it on tho morning of May :M this patrol was .sharply fired on and retired. I ordered both-regiments to their respective out,o.?t lines, and went there myself. As a direct attack on the ditch would result in unnecessary loss of life it was resolved to turn the enemy out )y attacking both ends of it, thus roll In 7 up hi thinks. 1,1 cut. Col. K. H. Wallace, of the First iMontana. whs directed to attack the enemy's right Hank with two battalions of that regiment, while MaJ. Whitman, with two battalions of the Twentieth Kansas, was to go at th left flank, one battalion of each regiment being retained on the line ns a containing force, while two guns of the Utah artillery opened

I the ground, and in I fact largely directed

mo. ngni that ensued. Those of us who hail remained on the outpost line saw as pretty a little light ns one would care for. The Kansas men advanced quickly through the tangled rice, firing rapidly, and cleared all of that part of the ditch. There were

picked up on that part of the held. Filipinos, and nfty-

threo prisoners, about half of whom

were wounded, besides many ri!les. 3ut the regiment had not romo out unscathed, as It had Privates Ryan and Sullivan killed, and Second Lieut. H. f. Parker, a veteran of the civil war, and rive enlisted men wounded.

church or other strong building, wo would be all right until the expected help came. - About three-quarters of a mile beyond the town the few men constituting the advance guard reported that they could make out a few "heads above what appeared to be a short trench a few hundred yards In advance. I went up to them, and after watching for a moment, concluded that the best way to Und out tho strength of this outpost was to stir it up, and gave the necessary crder. A tine little blizzard came back, and

the Filipinos stood their ground.

The distance between the lines waa about five hundred yard?, and I had Just made up my mind to charge with the men I had right Into the enemy's left Hank, and then trust to the superior quality of our men to roll them up. Dut then we noticed several hundred of th?m advancing in line from the north and moving in such a direction that it would further extend to tho right the force that we were now engaged with. The enemy's left being Immediately on our front, showed no tendency to advance, but his right had soon worked so far forward that it was on an extension of our left, and at a distanc of seven to nine hundred yards was enfilading us. It was time to go. We heard volleys crashing out to our left rear, and saw Murphy bringing up his men to extend our already turned left.

knows where they all came from, as! and

the ground literally seemed to spew them up, and soon we were outnum

bered about ten to one. Their fire was furious, and as they were yelling, we knew they felt confident that they had us. All of the Filipinos, and all

of us except the oillcers and the or

At the order the Montana men ceased firing, filled the magazines of their rifles, rose to their feet, and at the word of a command dashed to the rear for a hundred yards, then faced about and gave it hot and heavy to tho Filipino lino that had risen and with yells was coming for us. Those immediately opposite us were beaten down, but their right kept advancing. The Montana men took cover and fired rapidly while the Kansas men fell back even with it, this performance being repeated several times. The men were absolutely cool, and not one of them showed tho slightest tendency to break ranks. Capt. Smith and I stooped down for a moment behind a barrel of corn in the ear that stood near a small nipa house. We were looking over the top of it when within two seconds two bullets hit the corn on top of the barrel, knocking the grain into our faces, s'ever before had I seen the FiVpinos take the aggressive, and I was astonished beyond measure. The Montana men were now down to a handful of cartridges each, though they had gone Into the lifht with a hundred and fifty on each man. The Kansas men still had plenty, but we could not redistribute under such a fire. How I wished for a machine gun, or for a field-piece to warm up with shrapnel the yelling horde. Suddenly we noticed the Filipino line begin to give way to the rear,

looking around saw the whole

Montana regiment deploying across the fields in the direction of .an Fernando. As the Filipinos fell back we gave them a good salting. This ended

intention of standing up against an

One of the men wounded was a anagnlrtcer.t big Dane, Private Sorenfnri. As they were carrying him off th field I passed by and said: "Well, Sorenson, you are going to iret well, aren't you?" He was smoking a big cigar, which ho removed from his mouth very carefully, blew a cloud of smoke into the air, and then replied very deliberately, "Yah, General, I tank so." And he did, though he had been very badly hit. The First Montana did not hae finite such good luck, being discovered In getting into position, but had a brisk little fight, losing four men wounded and killing five of the enemy who were found. One day Gen. MacArthur sent for me and stated that he wished me to make a reconnaisanoo along the road, und said that I could take eighty men. und no more, paying: "If I give vou a force of any fIzo, you wjll briny; on a pitched battle, and that is not the object.

He was instantly killed. Early Monday morning, Dec. ?,0, the. guists in a local hotel were startled by the report of several shots in rapid succession. Before tho night clerK could leave his pott to investigate, Maloney, appeared at the desk, revolver in hand. Hacking out of the hotel corridor, Mai one v attempted to escape, but was captured before he had gone many blocks. Malonev confessed the shooting Faying that he was driven to des-( peration by "little devils" which continually were in the eyes of his wife and little daughter. j His parents reside at Curao, Texas.

CHICAGO, Juno 22. The yachts for many hours believed to have been lost in yesterday's storm on JLake Michigan were reported safe at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The boats were a part of the fleet of 32 returning from tho Michigan City yacht ra-ces Saturday. They were caught in one of the worst storms of the season Sunday night and reached safety only after a fierce battle with the elements. The three boats are the Anama, with five on board, manned by George F. Oert; the Wenonah. with four on board, manned by H. F. Keefer, both of the Jackson Park Yacht club, and Charlotte It., with three on board, of tho Columbia Yacht club. The heavy squall caught the fleet about six miles out from Jackson Park harbor and darkness almost immediately enveloped the boats. The great waves and gale tossed the craft about like tissue boats and before long many of them were driven far out of their course.

When the veil of darkness raised the ileet was demoralized. One by one the boats appeared in the Jackson Park harbor and were greeted by anxious inquiries. Long distance tele

phone calls revealed that the three

boats that did not reach the harbor had not been sighted elsewhere and it

was feared they had gone down and those aboard lost.

LONDON, June 22. Suffragettes trying to hold meetings Sunday In Hyde park were roughly treated by the crowds.
