if Consal Wildman promised the incon, is breach of faith when President McKinley re fuses to supply the article?: 11 it is, let it go at And if the President, Senate, and Represen tatives had all unanimously passed and signed a document of the most complete and correct legal sort, awarding immediate and unqualified independence to everybody, in the Philippine archipelago, there would still be one thing to remember. Sometimes the keeping of a pro mise might do harm. It is wrong, of course, to break a promise; but circumstances can exist, in which the keeping of the promise would be even more wrong, a greater wrong. An example occurs in Holy Wric Jephtah made a vow to God, to celebrite his victory (if he had one) by killing the first live thing he met on his way home. And the first was at daughter. Sometimes it may be an absolute duty in the sight of God to break a premise, But there never was any promise in this case. The conversation of Pratt and Wildman may have had a promising tone. We know it had. They were to blame for converting, in too warm a tone, because these optimistic, over. sanguine, eager, young, escaped schoolboys, jumped to conclusions to readily.

Almost every day and night the insurgents have attacked the fines in three or four places, Jocating our outposts and feeling their strength. It is more than likely that a general attack will soon be made. S

At daylight yesterday morning Major Bell left San Fernando with a party of ten scouts to reconnoitre the vicinity of the tailroad and Bacolor, and locate the main force of the enemy When about two miles out he discovercul one company of native soldiers grouped about a big tree, and others lying about the brush. It was the breakfast hour, and there were several large rice bowls from which the men were inking food. After carefully approaching to within a short distance without being discovered, the scouts set up a yell and dashed among the natives, who grabbed their guns and broke for the woods with all possible haste. Unfortu nately, there was a force of six companies encamped about half a mile beyond, and on hearing the yells they rushed to the support of their comrades, 1o wait longer would be useless, so the scouts turned and struck out for camp as fast as the ponies could carry thent The insurgents immediately opened fire and were joined by others on the flanks.
