The cavalry led the column at a smart trot across tho open to tho right, eventually reaching a clump of tree commanding the rear of Guadaloupe. , : Supported by tho Oregon volunteers, the advance force opened a heavy fire on tho rebels. The response was feeble and desultory, apparently com ing from bandsful of men in every covert. While tho right column was swing ing towards the town of 1'asig, the left advanced, pouring volleys into the bush. A small body of rebels mad a de termined stand at Oaudaloupe church, but was unable to withstand tho as sault, At half past 7 o'clock, an hour after tho first charge, a river gunboat start ed towards i'asig, Tho rebels were first encountered by this vessel in tho jungle near Cauda loupe, Steaming slowly, the gunboat poured a terrlflo fire from Iter Gatllng guns into the brush. For all of an hour tho whirring of the rapid Are guns alternated with the booming of the heavier pieces on board. In the meantime ricott's battery, ashore, was shelling tho trenches and driving the enemy back, The artil lery then advanced to a ridge of bam boo and drove a few of the enemy's barpshootera away with volleys from their carbines. The artillery then ad vanced and met with little opposition. In tho meantime tho infantry had been sent forward in 'splendid order, tho Washington regiment resting on tho bank of the river, each regiment deploying, on reaching its station, and furnishing its own supports. Tho en-1 tire column then wheeled toward th 1 river, driving the enemy toward bis upport and advanced on Ouadaloupo. The artillery moved to a ridge com manding Paslgand Parteroa. lfy this time tha Filipinos were in full flight along a line over a mile long and the firing was discontinued temporarily, In order to give the troops a rest be fore making the attack on Paslg. At this stage of tho engagement it wai raining heavily.

At half past 11 o'clock the column came in contact with tho enemy, and a guu lmt. ntnmrd to the firing line and cleared the jungle on both sides, while tho batterp took up a position on a bluff at the right. The Crst shot from tho American field pieces at 1.200 yards range dis lodged a gun of tho enemy at Paslg. After tho town had been shelled, the Twentieth regiment lined up on the bluff and the Twenty-second took up position on the left of tho place, with tho cavalry In tho center, where upon tho enemy retreated to tho town. The gunboat then moved Into a bend opposite, and a hot Ore upon tbo rebel position was msluUiiiml along the whole American line until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, when preparations were made fur the attack. At 3 u'elock tho United Male gunboat started In pursuit of tho enemy' armed tug, chasing her to the lake, At halt past 3 o'clock a large body of tbo enemy was nlscovered wotklng around our right flank, and tho Twentieth ws moved to a command- lag ridge.

The cut on this page is a view of the fifteen-year-old orchard planted by the Crete uuraurles in Hullua county, Bix and one-half acres were planted in the vry dry, windy spring of 1881 without the loss of a tree. The apple trows aero planted '2Hi'2H with pouch trees alter nated north and south, making the or chard stand iu rows UH feet apart oust und west and trees 11 foot apart north and south. The soil is of fair quality and lies 170 feet to water. The orchard wus cultivated twelve times the fimt season, and has been cultivated 8 to U tunes each season since. A record of yli Id was not kent separate from othur orchards until 1804, tho very dry year, lu spite of the severe drouth und small hi.m of many of the apples, owing to lack ot moisture, twenty bushel of apples were picked from single trees. The aver age yield of all varieties was nearly sev en bushels per tree, Tito peach tree having been removed, the apple trees stood itHx2i feet, or CO per acre. The fruit off 0 acres sold for f 1,400, an iiverngool fJ 1 0 per acre. The yield of ii acres was fiJ.&UO bushels, The yield ol best singto tree was twenty bushel each. The uverage selling price wus 5Sc per bushel. The trees are low, making the work of baud plckiugeasy. J, WV Walker baud nicked W bulifls of (tonics in one day, This crop of 210 per acre is more than 10 per cent interest on a valuation of 20U per acre for ten years. I ins orchard also gave as large crops in 18U2 and 18U0, besides smaller lots oi fruit In other years, The three crops of 01, 04, and 00, alone pay a large inter est on a valuation of $200 per acre, The annual expense of cultivation since crops were grown in orchard has leu $J,60 per acre, while the cost of giitlieriiig a lance crop has been about 010 per acre. The cost of planting and cultivating the orchard, aside from the crops grown therein uutil orchard com menced to bear wus, about foo, per acre. The orchard i now in its prime end has paid more than SJ0 percent! per annum on a caplitalissatioti of 200 per acre for each year since planted. Ap parently the orchard is good for fifteen years more work. The recorded yield ot about f GOO per acre s far gathered may be increased by ?wu to fi,uuu more per acre before the orchard finally txhuusts itself, An orchard ofWInesap apple trees standing alongside this orchard, aged II 1 1 een years, In. 1801 made the following yield: Trees were planted 2xH feet, or 10.1 trees pir acre, yield lu 1801 eight bushels per tree, or at the rate of l.oou bushels per acre; the fruit sold at from auctofl per bushel, depending on when and where marketed.
