WAR RECORD
On Thursday 6, two troop* were land

while they were landing the battleships
pitched shells into the batterie- A
shell from a Spanish battery hit the
Texas, and killed one man and wound
ed six.
On Friday a WOO Aroerican Cavalry
men. dismonnted, and with some
Cubans, fought the Spanish in a woods
five miles from Santiago The Span
iards were driven out and back towards
the city The American loss was It
killed and 50 wounded, and some
Cubans were also killed The Spanish
loss is not known but a dozen liodies
were found in the woods
The initial tight on Friday last of Col
Wood's rough riders and the troops of
the] First and Tenth regular cavalry
will be known in history as the battle
of La Cjuasina That it did not end in
the complete slaughter of the Ameri
cans was not due to any miscalculation
in the plan of the Spaniards, for as ner
feet an ambuscade as was ever formed
in the brain of an Apache Indian was
prepared, and Lieut. Col. Roosevelt and
his tnen walked squarely into it For
an hour and a half they held their
ground ander a perfect storm of bullets
from the front and sides, and then Col.
Wood, at the right and Lieut Col
Roosevelt at the left, led a charge which
turned the tide of battle and sent the
enmeny flying over the hills toward
Santiago.
It is now definitely known that six
teen men on the American side were
killed while sixty were wounded or
are reported to be missing It is impos
sible to calculate the Spanish losses, but
it is known that they were far heavier
than those of the Americans, at least as
regards actual loss of life Already ■)?
dead Spanish soldiers have been found
and buried, while many others undoubt
ly are lying in the thick underbrush on
the side of the gully and on the slope of
the hill where the main body of the
enmeny was located. The wounded
were all removed.
By Monday 7,000 U. S. troops and 3,
000 Cubans were encamped on the
heigths of Sevilla within sight of the
hills around Santiago. The Spaniards
withdrew within their line of defenses,
which consist of trenches, guarded by
barbed wire fences, with the brush clear
ed away for the width of a thousand
yards The roads were impassable
fil'lh■tMlrW'A'il.l a'ff ftielr
provisions were being taken forward on
pack mdles. The Spaniards were re
ported to have 15.000 troops within
their line of fortifications, and a regu
lar siege was anticipated.
Every road leading to the city was
said to be mined.
The Spaniards are using a brass
sheathed bullet, which causes blood
l>oisoning. The dead Rough Riders
were buried in the woods, where they
fell
The Spanish Squadron under Admi
ral Camara was reported to lie in the
Suez canal under orders to proceed to
Manila, and the project of sending a
fleet to the coast of Spain was being
considered at Washington.
Four thousand more troops sailed
frpm San francisco for Manila. Five
German warships were in the harbor of
Manila.
Tuesday a Spanish deserter said
that the Spaniards lost 300 men killed,
and a large number wounded in Fri
day's fight, and that (ien. Linares had
placed the ambuscade.
Gen. Shafter was forming his lines
about Santiago, there was skirmishing
along the lines. The Spaniards were
mounting guns on their forts taken
from their ships
It was reported at London that Ad
miral Camera's fleet was refused coal at
the Suez canal, and would have to re
turn to Spain
The Spanish general Augnstiat Manila
wired his government that the insugents
army numbers 130.000, some with guns
and some with swords, and that Agnin
aldo had summoned him to surrender.
Yesterday Shafter had his artillery
ashore . and was making preparations
for a move on Santiago, and was wait
ing on a sufficient supply ot provisions.
Dewey wired that the situation at
Manila was unchanged.
POLITICAL
At Altoona Monday the Democratic
hosts liegan gathering. Gordon's friends
were shaking their fists at (inffy who
seemed to be master of the situation
and who favored the nomination of
Jenks.
On Tuesday Judge Gordon's friends
were yet making a desperate fight but
everything i>oiiited to the nomination
of Jenks. The make np of the rest of
the ticket was lost sight of in the
squabble for Governor. Guffy seemed
to have complete control, and announ
ced that none but Democrats would be
nominated.
Geo. A. .Tt-nks was nominated for
Governor on first ballot He having
■ 315 votes.
The Republican county convention
in Clearfield. Tuesday, proved a Water

WHEN the Russian naval authorities
heard of the wonderful record made by
the "6regon in proceeding from San
Francisco to the coast of Florida in
sixty five days without an accident,
they cabled Mr. Irving Scott president
of the Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco, to come to St Petersburg to ar
range for bnilding more vessels like the
American battleship, which was the
product of the Union Iron Works, of
San Francisco. Mr. Scott has now sail

| The Wil«l Tribes ol'the I'hilip-j
pines.
(By Prof J B Steere in Scientific I
American.)
The native inhabitants of the Philip
pines can Ik? conveniently divided in
to fonr gionpf the civilized Indians,
the Mohammedans. th«* wild Indians
and the Negritos or Attas. These same
divisions existed at the coming of the
Spanish in 15lit. through their relative
numbers location and other conditions
must have changed greatly since that
time.
The wild and civilized Indians and
the Mohammedans seem to be all of
I Malay origin and are closely related to
j each other and to the native tribes of
I Formosa on the north and Borneo and
CeieDes WJ me Slum.
The civilized Indians have increased
rapidly since the Spanish occupation
and are the real citizens and inhabitants
of the Philippines. They occnpy the
coasts and the rich, level lands of the
northern, -centr.il ami eastern islands
and have lately occupied new territory
in Mindanao. Basilan, Palawan and
Mindoro They nnmber. according to
Spanish accounts, between six and sev
en millions.
The Mohammedans are decreasing in
inportance and probably in numbers al
so. hnt are still powerful in the south
of the archipelago where they occupy
the Sulu Islands, a great part of Mind
anao and Basilan. and have a foothold
in Palawan. They number, according
to Spanish statistics, about three hun
dred thousand. They appear to have
been derived originally from native
tribes of the same defjree of civilization
as the Christian Indians, but have fal
len far iH'hind them in progress, while
the two religions have caused such sep
aration and difference of customs and
such mutual hatred as to make them
reallv distinct j>eoples.
The Negritos or Attasare supposed to
be of Papuan stock, and are. no doubt,
the oldest living human inhabitants of
the Philippines. They appear to have
been driven by the flood of
Mala}' invasion far inland into
the mountains, where they
have dwindled to a few thousand wan
dering. homeless savages. They are
still found in ceitain portions of Luzon.
Panay. Segros and according to some
authorities, in Mindanao.
The uncivilized Indian tribes occupy
much of the interior and mountainous
parts of all the large islands of the
group, except Cebn and Bohol. in which
they have either been Christanized and
merged with the civilized Indians or
have been driven out. They still oc
cnpy nearly all the territory of the
•Treat islands of Mindoro anil Palawan.
They numlier according to Spanish esti
mates, some three or four hundred thou
sand. belonsfin.K to over fifty different
tril>es
They are shut off from the sea and
means of communication with one an
other aud the outside world by the civi
lized Indians about them, and probably
remain in much the same condition of
savagery as when first observed by the
Spanish.
It has been contrary to Spanish policy
in the Philippines to subdue them by
force and. as they have usually remain
ed at peace with their more powerful
and 1 >etter armed Christian neighliors.
they stili continue to exist tieside them.
Missionary priests are still making
some impression upon them in a few lo
calities and a few are baptized and lie
come a part of the Christion communi
ties. but this process is a slow one. for
several reasons One of these, no doubt
is the general apathy of the priests.
But the Spanish treatment of the civil
ized Indians must have much to do in
making these savages content with their
present condition
All persons of Indian bl<x>d wh> are
Spanish subjects are compelled to pay
an annual tribute of a few dollars, grad
uated according to age and sex. They
are also compelled to live for a portion
of the year at least in the incorporated
towns, in which are churches, priests
and government offcials. These, with
other forms of compulsory and unpaid
service to the government and church,
are claimed by the Spanish to be aids in
civilization: the tribute making it nec
essary that the Indian, naturally indol
ent and inprovident, earn or save some
thing besides what he eats and wears,
and the compulsory residence in the
civilizing agencies.
These exactions of the Spanish gover
nment aie enforced by the officials of
the towns by flogging and inprieonment
in the stocks.
The Indians find this system hard to
bear, and their resentment is shown in
the present and former rebellions.
Their feeling toward the inpositiou of
tribute is shown by their saying that
the monkeys conld talk if they would,
but they keep silent .so as not to have
to pay tribute.
Nuniliers of the civilized Indians,
when in debt and unable or unwilling
to pay tribute longer, escape to the
mountains and forests, where they
either join the savages directly or form
little settlements of their own. The
Spaniards call these by the express
ive term of remontados, men who have
again mounted into the saddle of savage
ry The aggregate of these remon
tados in the islands must be consider
able. While at the town of Arevalo, in
I 18S7. one of these men who had not en
tered his native town for three years,
except as he had stole in at night, paid
his hack tribute and other dues, from J
the money he earned as a hunter for onr ]
party, and again became a citizen. A
system which is driving many back to
savage life can have little attraction for
the Indians, and while in many cases
they allow their children to l>e bap
tized, they generally prefer theirliberty
to the advantages of a civilized life.
Like the civilized Indians, the savages
are brown in color, with coarse,
straight, black hair and little beard.
They seem to l>e somewhat smaller and
slighter of figure than their Christian
neighbors
Their language shows close kinship to
those of the civilized trilies adjacent
and also as close to those of the savages
of Formosa. Few of the trilies possess
lands fit for the cultivation of lowland
rices, and fewer still have the necessary
skill and implements and plow beasts
(bufialoes) for cultivating such lands.
Their recourse is the common one of
savages nearly the world round —they
cut off small portions of the forest dur
ing the dry season, and after burning
this over, they plant, at the beginning
of the rainy season, upland rice, maize,
sweet potatoes, etc., among the black
ened logs and stumps. The supply of
food thus gained is usually insufficient,
and after it is eaten up they lead a mis
erable existence, scouring the woods
for game and wild fruit and going to
the sea beach wliereever they can reach
it for shell fish and other food. Their
method of cultivation compels continual
change of place. Their little patches of
cleared forest can only be cultivated in
their rude way for one or two years,
when they are abandoned and new
pieces of forest chosen. In hunting 1
have repeatedly found heaps of shells
and Inmes and bits of earthen ware,
proofs of former occupation, in the
midst of apparently virgin forest.
Their houses are usually built after
the plan of those of the civilized Indians
a basket'ike structure of bamboo and
palm leaves raised upon posts above the
ground, but they are not well built and
are occupied but for a few years They
are built into compact villages, but a
few scattered houses are formed with
out streets, but near enough to be with
in call Necessarily, what can lie said
of such a multitude of detached tribes
in regard to their clothing, arms, relig
ion, etc . must be of the most general
character
Their clothing usually consists solely
of the ta para bo. or breech clout, ail
else generally 1m ing in the nature of or
nament. and consists of beads about the
neck and head and arms, and anklets or
leglets of boar's bristles, and frequently
with bright colored pearl shells hang
ing upon the back or breast. The Span
ish authorities do not allow the savages
to enter the towns in their ordinary
state of nakedness. They frequently
blacken the teeth.-and in some cases file
them to a point
Some tribes wear a stiff, round hat
similar to the salacot of the civilized
Indians: other tribes wear a turban or
go bareheaded. Tattoning is common
among them, but varies with eacn
tribe
Their arms are a large knife or cut
lass carried in a wooden scabbard, this
serving for an ax and hoe as well as a
weapon of war. In addition to this
they carry a lance or sjtear. and some
| tribes are armed with bows and arrows.
IThe more warlike tribes have shields of
various forms
Some of th»- wilder tril>es of North 1
Luzon are said still to hunt the heads i
!of their enemies with which to orna- t
' ment their dwellings, like the head- i
hunting savajres of Forui<>sa and the c
Dyaks of Borneo, but the tril>es in con '1
tact with the Christian Indian content s
themselves with hanging the skull* of '
J monkeys, deer, wild boar and buffaloes s
I al>ont their doors.

The weather here is very dry. every-

Except negroes. we see bnt few na

these few are decidedly cool in their
I (earing toward us In fact so far as
has been onr lot to observe, the lar fam
ed and boasted Southern hospitality if
we are in the South—is a minus ijnan
tity. We don't want nor expect people
to throw boqnets at us because we are
soldiers, but at the same time we don't
like to be treated like convicts.
No one ever heard of a Pennsylvania
farmer forbidding people to usea travel
ed path over his farm because they
wore soldier clothes, as was the case on
the Virginia side a few. miles altove
camp.
The only tune they treat a soldier
civilly here is when he is shoving his
inonej at them over the counter. We
prefer Pennsylvania and Pennsyl
vanians every time
Yesterday afternoon Co s A. and <T.
were transferred from Ft. Sheridan to
Ft. Washington and are now encami>ed
about two hundred yards west of us.
Springfield rifles very little different
from the ones we brought out from
Butler with us are being issued to the
l.">th. Co E. will need nearly seventy,
because we gave twenty some guns to
the Kith Regiment before they were ta
ken to Chickamanga. A telephone line
has been strung between headquarters
at the Fort and (.'apt. McJnnkins tent.
All Co. E. is now drilling on two of
the big ten-inch guns for two hours
every morning. Saturday we will try
to hit a target placed a few miles down
the river. A full charge requires
pounds of powder; a half charge is 140
pounds. Some of the powder is in
lumps like nut coal.
Sergeant Alexander has left the hospi
tal and is with us again. (ieorge
Thompson of Centre twp . Co. E s last
recruit, arrived yesterday afternoon.
We now have one hundred and six men
and three officers. Albert Waters has
been detailed as the line officers order
Iv. taking the place of Charley Kegel
man, the Pittsburg boy who had to re
turn home.
This afternoon Corporal Will Jackson
leayes for Butler on a few days fur
lough to visit his family.
Today Lieut. Col Mechling, Maj
Heilman and Clerk Rebhun returned
from their recruiting trip to Western
Pennsylvania.
Last Tuesday we received U. S. pay
for twenty days service in May. It
amounted to $lO 40 for a private.
JUNE 27, 18!)S. —For the past few days
the weather has been burning hot here
and in the afternqpn the mercury hovers
around I<M) degrees in the shade. At
times elands have appeared but no rain
has fallen and the air is still full of
dust and flies.
Friday afternoon we were visited by
Mylert McCollongh. of Butler county:
Bert Fleming, of Sarvers Station and
W A. Greer, of Washington D. C
Saturday W. C. Thompson. Esq.. ar
rived with the new silk flag which the
people of Butler donated to Co. E. Eli

ist in the U. S. Navy Yard. Mr. McCol

son, Angie White. Rose Adams and
Desdemona Vanderlin. all of Butler,
came down from Washington with Mr.
Thompson The young ladies are spend
ing the week seeing the sights of the
Capital and visiting their friends of Co.
E. That evening the Company was
lined up and in a neat sjieech Mr
Thompson for the people of Butler pre
sented the flag. Capt. McJunkin re
sponded and the ceremony closed with
Saturday the two ten-inch rifles
which Co. E has charge of were in
spected by Maj. Crozier of the U. S.
Army We fired two shots from each
of them with very satisfactory results.
The projectiles ploughed up the waters
of the Potomac about five miles down
the river.
Onr Bvitler visitors walked out to the
emplacement and expected to see the
shots fired, but citizens are not allowed
about the Fort or works and when
Capt. Howe saw them he gave orders
that they should keep back out of sight.
This morning Col. Mechling succeed
ed Capt. Howe as commander of this
post by right of rank. We have re
ceived thirty-eight new Springfield
breechloading muskets. We need thirty
one more to completely equip the Com
pany. The six new corporals, which
out formation calls for. have not yet
been appointed but probably will be
within a few days. We may also have
a third lieutenant, but this is not def
initely known.

of June 3d as follows
"We are having the real stull here
' now and it will lie sometime perhaps
before we are able to take this place
anil when we do get it. it will l»e found
that it has cost ns dearly. The Cuban
army has surrounded the town on land

if they wish to, the entrance to the bay
is very narrow and last night a volun
teer crew took the Collier Merriniac in
to the entrance and sank her making
the enemy's fleet prisoners. The men
who volunteered to take her m have
not returned yet. they probably all
were killed. As soon as she neared the
entrance they opened fire on her with
heavy guns from all directions and also
light artillery.
She kept on and when she was in the
right place her crew blew her bottom
ont and she sank. The tiring kept np
for nearly an honr and the crew if not
killed before were snrely killed when
they took the boats as volley after vol
ley from infantry was delivered.
Sharks are very thick and by jumping
into the water sure death waited them.
Were not these very brave men? They
knew they were to have very little show
for their lives when they volunteered I

barrel after barrel of lieans etc., were
broken and thrown overlx»ard, hun

ary in the endowment certificate held
by him, I was met by the members of
this good order promptly iu the hour of
my bereavement, to do the last kind
offices and pay the last tribute of love >
and respect to my son, but tribute was
more than mere words and kind acts.
Yon gave that thoughtful, fraternal i
aid, which in such trying honr is ever i
the token of a brotherhood that does
more than say. be ye fed. and be ye i
clothed. " Still later yon brought to my
door his endowment. $2<MM> and this

my beloved son.
To yon brothers, and friends of my J

Farmers in some sections of Mercer

pearance of a strange insect, of the
Hessian fly variety, which has attacked
their wheat. The tiy operates from the
top of the stalk completely destroying
the kernels. As yet the fly has not
attacked late wheat.

Inst Monday. Anna Forester entered, a
barn near the house where she boarded,
with a coal oil can in her hand. A fev.-
moments later the building was ablaze
and Anna Forester was seen kneeling in
the midst of the flames, apparently
praying that her life, which she had no
desire to continue, might be taken
away. The crowds of and
their wives and daughters who wit
nessed the death of the woman endeav
ored in vain to save her. When the
smoldering ruins of the barn were
searched a few hours later a mass of
charred flesh was found. Miss Forester
was engaged to be married, but so far
as known there was no trouble lietween
the girl and her sweetheart. However,
she had l>eeii in poor health, and this
may have led to the suicide.
