Manila correspondence Lincoln Jour
nal: Between Calumpit and Calumpan
that wandering regiment of Nebraska
volunteers has taken up an abode as
transient as peace. They have lived
for the past three days in the nipa
huts lining the road between the two
towns. The shelter is opportune, for
the rainy season is opening up with al
most nightly manifestations, and the
boys have several tlmeB endured the
miseries of the deluge, with nothing
"between" but a scanty poncho.
The men are expecting orders to go
ahead, yet have not given up hopes of
being relieved. The hope, however,
seems a faint one, and doomed to dis
appointment. Great expectations were
raised and dashed by the recent Fili
pino commission farce, in which the
two rebel officers asked an armistice
Instead of slgnlfyiiy? some more defi
nite Intention of surrender. The sooner
this thing is ended the better we will
be pleased. We are tired of killing
and being killed. At home the fond
hope may he Indulged that the trouble
In the Philippines Is over, but In yeari
to come, when this regiment Is but a
name, the press will be filled from time
to time with stories of rupture with
rebel bands of Filipinos.
In coming up upon Calumpit after
that memorable Sunday, our regiment
was given a somewhat easier position.
For the first time our boyB were taken
in from the rapidly swinging right
flank to a middle position, which did
not compel them to cover so much
ground. The fighting was easier, too,
but it was in this advance that Legg
and Hansen received their mortal
wounds, and Majors his very serious
one.
The trenches on the other side of the
river, which must be crossed before
reaching Calumpit, were wonders in
their way. They were evidently built
to be impregnable to field artillery.
With a basis of earth, they were ribbed
together by railroad ties, and armored
with sheet steel and railroad iron.
They extended in series, occupying a
frontage upon our line of advance of
beteen two and three miles. With port
holes snugly burrowed through and
well supplied with a store of ammuni
tion asd "chow,” the swarms of insur
gents who lined up behind these young
fortresses probably thought to make
the American advance decidedly un
pleasant. They pulled up the railroad
track on both sides of the stream, tore
out a span of the iron bridge, and cut
t.ng down the trees and undergrowth
which obstructed their view of the
country over which we must march,
awaited the coming of their enemy by
adoption.
Well, when the generals got every
thing fixed they pushed their infantry
up to the river bank right under the
nose of the iron-bound works. No one
needed to tell the men to lie down.
They snuggled down into the dirt like
"dust to dust, returning"—some did;
others were only more or less sorely
wounded. The insurgents did all the
shooang then. The sun was a little
way up. Somebody indulging in a
thoughtless fiction said that it occurred j
in the "cool of the morning."
Following dose upon the infantry
came every piece of artillery that could
be put into action, the "three-two"
guns, the quick-fire Nordenfeldtc and
rapid-fire Hotchkiss thunderers, seven
or eight in all. Training the first
three-tow" (three and twe-tenths inch
borei upon the trenches, the gunner
sprang aside and pulled the string*- j
“boom!"
It was the first American voice of \
the morning. It said, "Buenos dias"
to the rebels, with sharp candor. Some
of them stopped firing as the boys
snuggled along the brow of the river
bank, and fired volleys at the smoke \
of the gun. Our long skirmish line, |
however, had awakened The boom !
of the big gun had set it on fire. Vol- !
leys began to rip up the river, and all
the way down again, while all of our
guns turned In to hammer away at the
Insurgent works, but without making
Hj'jeh of an impression upon the sturdy
structures.
The Infantry men seemed to under
stand when they got the order, “rapid 1
fire" that they were expected to go
over t^e river and drive the "niggers"
out. For a time the air was filled
with roaring, the Filipinos answering
with volley tumbling over volley.
Then our men begun to go across the i
river, some with full equipment, other*
stripped of their clothes, holding only
to their gun* and belts. The water j
was shallow and there wa» little need j

are better acquainted with the proper
ties and mechanism of arms than the
regular soldier. Both regular and
volunteer, know, however, that often
in time of need the "Krag” is an un
reliable gun. One of the main faults
is summed up against it is the often
heard condemnation, "she stuck,” and
when she sticks, she is stuck tight.
I've seen men tug and sweat and
swear at the breech bolt of a tempor
arily useless rifle, and all because of
a grain of sand or a little dryness of
the working parts. The Mauser
doesn't act so shabbily in the face of
danger. It Is too simple in construc
tion to do other than shoot, shoot,
shoot, with almost incredible rapidity.
There’s many a man that knows and
many a man by recent experience
made wise, that says, “Uncle 8am
needs a better than his best small
arm.”
Our new colonel is a man well
known to the regiment as a fighter
of nerve and daring. He has been
well to the front at all times since
that night in February when he faced
the bullets at the head of his hatalllon.
Major Taylor is another nervy
fighter, a man who scorns fne use of
cover for himself. Considering what
he and his men have passed through
and the almost reckless daring witu
which he has led them, the wonder is
that he is still able to lead.
Mandaril Beet Sugar Kaulory,
The work of putting in the founda
tion of the Standard Beet Sugar fac
tory at Ames was completed Monday
and as the steel plates and beams for
the building itself are already on the
track at the grounds the building will
soon begin to loom up, the largest
sugar factory in Nebraska
The new factory, which will have
double the capacity of either the Orand
Island or Norfolk factories, Is Bltuated
two miles north and half a mile west
of Ames, west of the place known as
the Mills farm. The object In locating
it there instead of in town was to have
it as centrally located for the farmers
as possible, thus savinR the time and
expense of the company and the farm
ers in hauling beets over a road some
times not in the l>est condition. Ground
was broken for the building as soon
as the weather would permit, which
was the first week in April. The 1'nion
Pacific railroad built a side track from
the east end of the Ames yard, a mile
and a half north, then northwesterly
along the side of the cutoff ditch a
mile and a half to the factory, and
put in several switch tracks at the
site. The Elkhorn extended its line
from the Union Pacific crossing, a mile
east of Ames, to Ames, connecting
with the Union Pacific switch. All
the material and machinery can thus
be laid down directly at the site, thus
saving considerable expense in haul
ing.
The main building is 300x100 feet.
The foundation consists of piles drivep
into the ground twenty-five feet, then
cut ofT eight feet below the surface,
making a platform about ten feet
square. Between 1.&00 and 2.000 piles
were used for the foundation of this
and other buildings, the platforms of
piles being about ten feet apart. On
them was placed a pillar of steel
welded together with concrete eight
feet in height. The buildings, except
a few of the smaller ones, will be
entirely fireproof, no wood being used
In their construction, the floors being
of concrete and the framework of steel
and the walls of brick.
Officers Chosen for Ouard.
The vote cast for regimental officers
of the Second regiment, Nebraska Na
tional Guard, was canvassed in the
office of Adjutant General Barry at
the state house, resulting in the selec
tion of the following for the offices
named:
Colonel, Arthur E. Campbell, Lin
coln; lieutenant colo'ael, Ernest H.
Tracy, Nebraska City; major, William
Hayward, Nebraska City.
There are ten companies in the regi
ment and each commissioned officer
was allowed to vote- Of the thirty
officers only twenty-six availed them
selves of the opportunity to express
their preference. In connection with
the method of selecting the officers
it has been rumored that some of the
defeated candidates may institute a
contest on the ground that none of the
company officers who cast votes have
been examined. The law provides that
an officer must pass an examination
befoge he is entitled to a commission.
However, the present company officers
are enjdylng all the rights and privi
leges of regularly commissioned offi
cers. As the vote on the different
candidates was by no means close, it
is not thought that the election will
bp con test eel.
All of these selected have had ex
perience as military men. Mr Camp
bell was captain of Company K of
Lincoln and Mr Hayward captain of
the Nebraska City company of the
Second regiment of Nebraska volun
teers Ernest Tracy was major of the j
same regiment. The total vote waa
a* follows: For colonel Arthur K. ,

No Proposal for Mediation—An Out
look of an t'gly Character.
LONDON. June 12— It Is not Im
probable that the crisis in the Trans
vaal will be hastened today by some
untoward Incident at Johannesburg. J.
B. Robinson, the Houth African mil
lionaire and mine owner, received a
telegram today from his agent at Jo
mannesburg saying the situation there
is most serious. The agent added that
a mass meeting of Utlanders will be
held today tn order to confirm and
support the proposals of the British
high commissioner, Sir Alfred Milner.
As open-air meetings are not improb
able, if the necessary permission is not
obtained, that the police will endeavor
to stop the meeting.
The concensus of opinion among
prominent Utlanders and South African
capitalists in London Is that the Brit
ish government is in a tight fix, that
It cannot retreat from Its position and
that if President Kruger does not re
cede war is inevitable.
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States be asked to mediate be
tween the Transvaal and Great Britain,
Joseph H. Choate, the United StateB
ambassador, says: "While every good
American would welcome the possibil
ity of helping a solution of the present
situation, we hav” not been approached
in the matter, and I personally know
nothing of this proposed mediation by
America."
An official of the foreign office in
conversation with a representative of
the Associated Press said: "We have
not approached America, nor has
America approached us in this matter,
and it is very unlikely that America
will be asked to do anything of the
kind, much as we value the good feel
ing existing between the two coun
tries." ‘
A detachment of 200 royal engineers

Southampton.

GERMANS OBJECT TO SECRECY.
Misleading KeporU Sent Out Regarding
I’eace Conference,
THE HAGUE, June 12—The chief
delegates to the peace conference met
today to discuss German complaints
against the secrecy imposed upon the
delegates and the consequent of mis
leading reports published and it is un
derstood that Count Munster, head of
the German delegation, was instructed
to propose that the protocols for the
plenary sittings of the committees be
published immediately after they are
orawn up.
American delegates tell the repre
sentative here of the Associated Press
that they are still confident of the
adoption of some of their chief pro
Jetts for arbitration, but the prelimi
nary discussion yesterday Indicates
the impossibility of maintaining them
all. For instance, it is impossible to
carry the proposals that the Judges of
the arbitration tribunal be elected by
the highest court of Justice of each
country, as some of the European
countries do not possess a Judicial or
ganization permitting such procedure.
| It Is expected that the likeliest out
come will be that each country will be
free to choose the manner of nominat
ing its own Judges.
The Americans propose to insist
upon a permanent tribunal. If this
is impossible they hope to obtain at
any rate the institution of a perma
nent commission. They will also in
sist on other points.

Report of Caaualtle* for Marrh and I>ur
In the War.
WASHINGTON, June 12.— Among
the reports submitted by General Otis
concerning the operations of the army
in Manila, one is from Colonel Henry
L.ppincott, chief surgeon of the army,
for the month of March. Colonel Lip
pincott says:
The long list of engagements be
tween our troops and the Filipinos con
tinuing through the month resulted In
the following casualties to our com
mand:
Killed, officers, 6; enlisted men77lT
Died from wounds, officers, 2; en
listed men, 14.
Wounded, officers, 18; enlisted men,
486
Total casualties for the month. 596.
Total casualties since outbreak, 1,029.
Our force has been much overworked,
bbut nevertheless has met with every
emergency. Major Crosby has put up
excellent tent wards, and the purveyor.
Major Corbiscer, has furnished abund
ant supplies of all kinds at short no
tice. Considering the work done and
disadvantages we labor under, being so
far from our base. I can safely say
that the succesg in meeting all require
ments thus far has been marvelous.
The Filipino wounded will receive
the same kind of attention they have
in the past, no efforts being spared to
make them comfortable and give them
every chance for recovery.
Number of Filipinos admitted to hos
pital during the month. 85; number
oied. 8; number transferred. 22; re
maining in hospital under treatment,
708.
Statue of an ex-Pre«ldrnt.
NEW YORK, June 12.—Not long
after ex-President Chester A. Arthur
died a fund was started among his
friends to erect a statue to hlB mem
ory. So little noise was made over
the work that it sank out of sight
of the general public and many per
sons will be surprised to hear that the
statue will be unveiled in Madison
square next Tuesday afternoon.
When the subscriptions had reached
$25,000 the committee deemed the sum
sufficient and gave the order for a
bronze statue to George E. Bissell, the
sculptor. The statue represents Gen
eral Arthur seated, with his eye glass
es in one hand and a book in the
other. He appears as though Just
about to rise from the chair, which
is a fae simile of one he used when in
the White House. The statue will
stand at the northeast corner of Mad
ison square, opposite the Old Union
League club building, now the Man
hattan club's home, with which Gener"
al Arthur was closely identified.
