MANILA, Nov. 30.-6:10 p. ra.-Dispatches just received from Iloilo, isl and of Pan ay, say that at 1 o'clock on the evening of Sunday, November 26, the Eighteenth regiment encountered an entrenched force of the enemy at Pavia, who opened a heavy fire. The leading battalion replied and after several volleys the Nineteenth flanked the Filipinos, driving them out of their trenches. The enemy retreated to the mountains. At the beginning of the fight one captain and one pri vate of the Eighteenth were killed. MacArtbnr at Bjmbi)n)(. General MacArthur is now in Uayambong preparing to -feweep the country on both sides of the Manila I)igupn railroad. General Whoaon -is at San Fabian and General Lawton at Tayug. A cordon from San Fabian to San Isidro covers all the roads and occu pies all the towns on the line. The American policy is to prevent any m re insurgents escaping to the north and to force them toward the country west of the railroad. Major March, with a battalion of tho Thirty-third infantry, occupies Vigan, having made a forced march from San Fabian. The remainder of the regiment is on the way. General Young, with a handful of cavalry and the Macabebes, is in Vigan and Lieu tenant Colonel Howse, with four deci mated companies of the Thirty-fourth infantry, barefooted, is struggling toward Vigan and Aliga. When last reported he was within fifteen miles of his destination. There are 5,000 Spanish prisoners in Abra province, whose release through the military operations is expected soon. It is learned that Aguinaldo bad a large amount of stores at Bayambong, prov ince of Neuva Vizcaya, which General Lawton's troops have probably cap tured. The steamer Francisco Reyes has taken a cargo of supplies to Dagupan where a base will be established IIos- r lala have been eouiDoed at San z - I-udro, Cabanatuan and Tayug. Many of the troops are suffering from exhaustion, fever or dysentery and are in need of hospital treatment Captain Fowler's mirch after Gen eral Alejandrino's brigade with one company of the Thirty-third regiment was one of the bravest incidents of the war. The company left Dagupan alone. under orders to locate the enemy Captain Fowler had been warned by the natives that he and his men would be exterminated. The guides deserted them before Mangatarom (or Manga laron) was reached. All Alejandrino's nrtillprv was focused on the main - J street along which the Americans ad vanced. The guns were manned by Spaniards who said afterward that they had fired over the heads of the Americans, as they desired that the latter should win, hoping thus to gain their own freedom. In the terrified temper of the insurgents, who run at the sight of an American, a single company might go anywhere in the north now, according to Ciptain Fowler. Only Retain Officer. No prisoners except officers and civil leaders are rttained by the Ameri cans. Their policy is to release a' 1 others almost immediately. Major Johnston of General MacArthur's staff brought here by fecial train, Churi brian, secretary of the treasury in the so-called Filipirio government, and Mariani L'.n Gap,a Chinese half-breed, director of railways and postoftices. boih of whom surrendered in Bayam bong with their families and servants. Their goods rilled four cars. Churi orian maintained that civilians were exempt from imprisonment and he was deeply chagrined when he found him self placed incommunicado with Buen camtno. Major Ortez of the last Filipino com mission to General Otis is a harmless character, a kind of burlesque soldier, and the American officers to whom he surrendered have declined to imprison him. He yearns to pose as a martyr in Manila. Aguinaldo's mother has arrived here and has been given shelter by Senor Legarde, a prominent amigo, who was secretary of the treasury be fore the outbreak and who resigned when it came. It seems that Buenca mino' party took refuge in a bandit village which had offered Aguinaldo an sylum, intending to sell him to me Americans. The bandits assassinated half of Buencamitio'8 guard and pre pared to keep Aguinaldo's mother for ransom. " HIGHWAYMAN SHOT IEAI The Great FIRE AND SMOKE SALE is still on.

The con dition of Senator Hayward this even ing shows little change from what it was twenty-four hours ago. He passed an uncomfortable night and has been very restless and uneasy today. Dr. Whitten spent most of the night at his bedside and has watched him closely during the day. At 6 o'clock tonight he issued tho following bulletin: Senator Hayward has had a very restless day, having slept very little. His temperature is 103, pulse 89, reg- lar and softer than in the morning; respiration 24 and still intermitting. He is more conscious of his condition, as he manifested more concern about himself. Paralysis remains the same." The fact that tho patient is more conscious of his condition is taken by Dr. Whitten as a good evmptom, in that it shows that his mind is brighter and more free, indicating partial ab sorption of the clot, and yet if he be comes greatly concerned and worried, the effect is likely to be unfavorable. Major E. B. Hayward, the senator's brother, together with his wife, ar rived from Davenport, la., at 9:30 this morning and has been at his brother's bedside almost the entire day. The scene in the Bick room upon the ma jor's entrance was very affecting. Sen ator Hay wardTecognized his brother instantly and apparently made a su preme effort to speak to him. Failing to utter a single intelligible word, he burst into tears and could not be quieted for some time. Mrs. Hayward was prevailed upon to take a few hours rest last night and, as a consequence, is feeling much better, physically, to day. However, her concern about her husband's condition is as great as ever. Farm For Kale Cheap. One hundred and sixty acres adjoin ing Wabash, Neb.

Rencarkable Escape of a Kaffir from a Lion. An interesting tale comes from Mashonaland, in which a lion and a Kaffir figure. The story is vouched for by Dr. R. Brown, a well known writer on South African topics. The Kaffir was visiting some friends at a distance and was horrified -while resting near a small pool to see a large lion watch ing him from the other side. Unfor tunately the man had laid his loaded gun beyond his reach, and at sign of reaching for it the lion roared men acingly. The situation now became extremely' painful If not for the lion, at least for the man. for, putting aside the imminent prospect of beinqj de voured, the rock on which he sat, ex posed to the glare of an African sun,i was so hot that he could scarcely bear to touch it with his naked feet. But the enemy was Inexorable. Any exhi bition of an intention to seize the weapon was followed by a warning roar, so that the man had all day long to temper the almost intolerable heat of the rock by placing one foot on an other, until by evening both feet were so roasted that he had lost any sense of pain. The Hon seemed to have on ly recently dined, otherwise It la ex tremely unlikely that it would have displayed such tolerance to Its helpiass vis-a-vis. At noon it walked to the pool to drink, looking round every few steps to watch the Kaffir, and when he reached for his gun, turned In a rage, and was on the point of pouncing upon him. Then, quenching his Thirst, the vigilant brute came back to its old post. Another night passed, but whether the- Kaffir slept or not he could not tell. All he knew was that it must have been at very short inter vals, and with his eyes open, for he always saw the lion at his feet. Next forenoon the animal went again to the water, and while there, hearing ap parently some noise In an opposite quarter, disappeared "in the bush. The man now made an effort to selza his gun, but, on attempting to rise, he fell, his ankles being apparently without power. Hower, he got the musket, and crept to the pool to drink, deter mined, if the lion returned, to dis charge the contents of his weapon in to it. But it did not appear. Theu. unable to walk with his toes roasted by the sun and the hot rock, and h!s legs flayed by the sham edeed crass. he crawled along the nearest path on ms nanas ana knees on the chance that oonitj traveler passing that wav.

The Scotch are fond of telling sto ries which illustrate the peculiar sim plicity of mind of their ccr-ntry peo ple. This simplicity at least saves tftem from wicked guile. One of these sto ries relates that an hc-nest mason once had a contract to build a small house of stone. He came early and began from the inside to lay the stone, work ing very fast. At noon his young son brought him his dinner, peeping over the wall as he handed the basket to his father. With honest pride in his eye, the mason looked over to the boy. Weel. Jock, hoo d'ye think I m get ting on?" he asked. "Ye're getting on famous, feyther," answered Jock, look ing at the solid wall, in which there was no break "but hoo d'ye get oot?" The mason looked around. It was true. He had provided the house with no door at all, and he was on the Inside. He looked kindly and very admiringly at the boy. "Mon, Jock, ye've a great held on ye!" he exclaimed. "Ye'll be an architect jet, as sure as yer fey ther's a mason!" Another story shows how unsuccessful as a thief the rustic Scot may be. Two young plowmen went into a garden at night to steal gooseberries. The bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes, and as one of the lads groped about he got a handful of po tato plums, which he quickly put Into his mouth. Then he gasped to his comrade: "Oh, Jock, I'm poisoned! For ony sake, shove me through the hedge again, for I waudna like to dee i' the auld man's garden!" What Do the Children Drink?

If you are going to prospect in Alaska and expect to travel much a pair of good "Siwash" dogs are very essential almost Indispensable. These dogs greatly differ from our domesti cated dogs, taking to the harness like a duck to water. They do not bark at strangers. They are kind and affec tionate, showing the wolf in them only among their kind. It seems to be against their principles to get off the trail to let another team pass. This means a fight, an exciting episode if the teams number five or six dogs each. In an instant the wildest con fusion takes Dlace. Docs, harness and each driver with a club in his hand form one grand lumhle from which order can only be restored by some of the dogs being knocked senseless. The dogs are trains tn "e" and "haw like an the word "whoa'." "Mush" is the word used gen erally by the whites to Indicate go ahead, a perversion of the Indian word "Husch." The dogs prefer their mas ter, but if loaned for use they work as faithfully as for their master. AntofrntpU Bfania. While visiting this country, Dickens one morning receiving a letter purport ing to have been written by an Eng lish laboring man and his wife, in which, in rough phraseology, they stated that they heard a great deal re specting the beautiful books he had written, and the good he had done for "us poor folks," and asked his permis sion to name their little baby boy after him, promising to so educate him that he might fully appreciate the works of the novelist. Dickens sent a lettei stating that be was proud to know that his name had been conferred- on the child in recollection of his writings, and wishing that the little one mignt become all that his parents hoped to see him. adding that if he could ever learn that he had been the means of awakening In the little one any new love for his fellow-creatures, and a de sire to help them with his sympathy, he should feel much pleasure in the knowledge. This first letter, it ap pears, was merely a subterfuge on the nart of the son of an officer in the ar my" who was desirous of obtaining the autograph of the novelist for his col lection. He was ashamed or tne mean trick he played upon Dickens, but from it he gained a far higher appreciation of the character of the writer than ne otherwise might have had.

About 1,000 murders occurred In England and Wales during the last period of five years for which facts are available. There were, during the same time, nearly 160.000.000 persons of all ages exposed to the risk of being murdered, that is 30,000,000 in any one year. The yearly risk of being mur dered is, therefore, only the very small degree of probability expressed by the odds of one to 150,000, and If a lifetime be counted as 100 years, the chance of being murdered some time Is only one in 1,500.
