INJURED ON THE RAILROAD. 15y Young Mwu Keudertd I'nconsc Ion Jumping From a Freight Truin. From Monday's Daily. William Tate of Peru and Ad Wooster of Nebraska City were beat ing their way to this city from Pacific Junction on the Burlington this morn ing, and when the train entered the lower yards the trainmen saw them. The brakeman told Tate to get olT, but heirefused and the "shack" threw his hat otY. Tute then jumped from the train and in so doing struck his head against a box-car standing on another track, cutting a deep gash over the eye and bruising his head up quite badly. Uis comrade went up to the depot, where Policeman Fry and Night Watchman Ilassen wore found and tho three men went down where the young man was found in r.n un conscious state, with his head on the rail jind blood flowing from the cut on his forehead. He was tiken to the depot and cared for until 5 o'clock, when Deputy Sheriil McBt ide was no tified and he was taken to the county jail. Dr. T. P. Livingston, the com pany physician, and County Physician Schildknecht wore called and dressed the wounds. The story told by Wooster is to the effect that one day last week Tate i . .3 ...... .1 came to reorasKa ny auu wumcu hiro to go to Omaha with him. which ho did. They had spent several days there and when they arrived at Pacific Junction Wooster proposed coming to Plattsmouth, ho having at one time lived with his parents here. They were getting short of money und con cluded to beat their way, with the re sult as told aoove.

Tho navy department is ttiking step toward the formation of a mos quito fleet lor the Philippines. Tho conditions now prevailing in Luzon indicate that for a long time it will bo neceisary to maintain a ttrict police of tho coast and inland waters. For the island work, especially, the gov ernments will need sorno very light draft boats. For this work tho big ocean tugs that formed tho mosquito fleet that operated around Cuba dur ing the blockade and of which tho gov ernment has a number, are now being looked over with a view to just this service. Some of them are on the Pa cific co ist. The department has figured out a coasting voyage that will take them up the Alaskan coast, coaling at Sitka, Unalaska, Cook's inlet, and so down through tho Aluetian island to Hake dota, tho northern point of Japan. Thence they can make the run across the China sea down to Ilong Kong and thenco to tho Philippines. It will bo about a two months' voyage, but one that can be made safely. Spain had a large fleet of the small gunboats and torpodo gunboats, admirably suited for this work in the Philip pines, but has recently sold thirteen oT them at Hong Kong. It is possible some of these vessels -maj he repur chased by the government in case they are in good condition and can be had for a reasonable sum. The tugs des tined for Philippine sorvico will be armed with an abundance of machine guns and with heavier rapid-firo guns up to six and twelve pounders ni MAT lT Hi All nni i i I V i I K Mi Phil nu i in l n ? uii ui i unvi i Idlers and Workers.

In the British house of commons the other day the parliamentary secretary of the war office, Mr. George Wynd- ham, replying to a question on the subject, said that recruiting In Canada for the regular army of Great Britain was under consideration, and he was not prepared to admit that there were any obstacles to such a step on either side of the Atlantic.

Manila, March 20. 1K40 a. m. It is reported on hitherto reliable authority that Aguinaldo is taking extreme measures to suppress signs calculated to caus j a cessation of hostilities. Twelve adherents of tho plan of inde pendence, residents of Manila, have been condemned to death because they wrote advising surrender and all loyal Filipinos have been called upon to perform tho national service of dis patchtng them. On Friday last Goneral Lagarda visited Maloloa for the purpose of ad vising Aguinaldo to quit. H-j argued with tho insurgent leader and at tempted to convince him of the folly of his persistence in the face of over whelming odds. Aguinoldo was furious at the advice and ordered Gen eral Lagarda to bo executed im mediately. Tho unfortunato general was promptly docapitated. Among tho incidents of yesterday's fighting was tho coolness exhibited by a company of Washington volunteers, who crossed tho river in a native c tnoe under a heavy lire fifteen being taken across on each trip of the small boat to attack the enemy's trenches. The inability of the commissary train to keep up with trie advance led to considerable suffering and many of tho moii wero completely exhausted when they were recalled and, falling fr m tho rank, were strung along for a distance of ahiiost feix miles, num bers returning to camp in tho artillery ambulances, which wero always close up to tho lines. The work of the ambulances was especially worthy of m -nlion. Mountain ISrtitdim lieaten.

A con es pondent of the Associated Pier at Manila ays: An army has seldom operated under harder conditions than havo I con encountered by the Ameri can "Flying brigade. ' Tho country the American troops have traversed is intersected with lagoons, narrow and unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick that tho enemy cannot be seen 100 feet distant. During tho charges the Americans wero ignorant as to whether they wero attacking a hun dred or thousands of rebels, which amazes the fo eigu observers. The Filipinos were unexpectedly hei ce at Cainta. II td it not been for the fact that the American lino was thin tho enliladiiig fire would have slaughtered many of our men. One of the prisoners captured by the Americans says tho Filipino leaders boast that they can continue such a war for years, dopouding tho Ameri can lorces oeing weaKeneu daily ov twenty men killed, wounded or invalided. Some of the high officials Lerethiuk that 10,000 reinforcements are needed, as the troops now on this island are hard y moi e than are required to maintain a line around Manily and po lice the city. Considerable rain has fallen al ready and it seems that the season for rains is beginning prematurely. It is possible that when the steady rains be'in our troops will have to be with drawn to permanent barracks, which may enable the rebels to return to their old position?.
