I TWELVE FILIPINOS KILLED- Rebels Attack a Party of American Scouts Near Taguig Manila, April 21 —Two hundred of tbe enemy, imitating the tacUcs of ti e Americans formed a skirmish line this afternoon and attacked a party of scouts of the First Washington regi ment, stationed near Taguig Rein forcements went to tbe assistance of the Washington men and the enemy were driven for a mile. Our ammuni tion was then exhausted and our men returned, after capturing several guns and killing 12 Filipinos. Our loss was 3 wounded. A party of 18 Americans under the command of a’captain, went ecouting north of Guiginto this morning and encountered a strong body of insur gents. In the skirmish which ensued, one American was wounded. Thirteen Spanish gunboats have ar rived here, under convoy of the Con cord and Petrel. While lying in the waters of the south, these ’ boats were looted of small arms and cannon by Filipinos. American merchants here have drawn up a petition to tbe San Fran cisco chamber of commerce, asking that its influence be exerted to secure a reduction of tariffs, many of which are prohibitive. —' ♦ —•— OA.S’L’OSIIA. Bears tho lt>B Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of seen that Mr, Bryan cannot afford to make many enemies Bui has Mr Bryan made any friends in New Yoik by allying him self with those who gut up the Chica go platform dinner and those interest ed in the Jeffersonian $1 dinner? He ‘ has undoubtedly, but they are not friends wlm can help him in getting a ■ delegation from New York to the Democratic National Convention fa vorable to fils nomination. There wire no prominent Democratic lead ers at the Chicago platform dinner. It is eaid there v as not a man there who could control a vote other than his own. Even tho leaders of the Henry George element were noticeable for their absence. While the leaders of the Belmont- Croker dinner didn’t accompush all they expected to.it is certain that they will retain control of the machinery of the party, and will name the delegates from New oik to the Democratic National Convention. If Mr. Bryan should be nominated, however, the ' part he took in tbe $1 dinners would have the effect of making him votes I in New Yoik There is ot.e factor in the situation which must not be overlooked. It is the investigation oi lammanv's rule in-New York city. II that inveetiea tain should show Tammany in a bad light Tammany’s ability to get to gether a combination to prevent Mr. ! Bryun’a nomination wi uhl be greatly i weakened All things considered, it i is probably that differences growing I j out of tbe dmners in New York citv i I have not lessened Mr Bryan’s chances ' for tbe n amination. —Savannah News. i Bl6 : r * ■l . r < a; : ■ < 'ate: tl • m-- si '.ron- I dei- .. . o - ; e a..-, p eas- I ai t aiu! i e . - no to tl, tn e, a ' i ent ly I and |....
