The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1894. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEI NcSDAY. JUNE 14. 1899. The bloodest and most desperate battle fought so far during the Fili pino war, occurred on June 13th. It is reported that the shots of the enemy, which were fired from batteries concealed in the jungle were accurately aimed and did much damage to tbe Americans. The fight took place with in sight of Manila, and the Government at Washington is intensely interested and it is evident that tbe insurgents are far stronger than was supposed. Two negro regiments have been ordered to Manila. We see it stated that Secretary Gage defends President McKinley for removing numerous officers from the operation of the civil service. The President needs no defense for this act. The Cleveland civil service humbug is but a poor imitation of the Eoglishcustom. l'To the victors beloDg the spoils is good, sound American doctrine with which all Americans are well pleased with, perhaps, tbe exception of the politicians who are now in office and want to be ftd more pap with the public spoon. Cyclones have visited tbe Western States nearly every day during the past week, doing great damage to life and property. Yesterday the towns of New Richmond, Wis., and HermaD, Neb., were swept away with appalling causualities. It is estimated that in the two towns that hundreds of persons lost their lives and a large amount of property was destroyed. To add terror to the heartrending scenes of desolation fire broke out in the wreckage, burning up the wounded. Electricity has been turned on the Palmetto Mill in Columbia, and the spindles and looms are now humming. There are about 200 hands employed and for the present only the ordinary grade of goods will be manufactured. Mr. Allen Jones is the President. I C m Senator Tillman and the other "prominent meD," mentioned in the Neal investigation have explained to the satisfaction of every fair mind. The enemies of Senator Tillman who have ud justly criticised him should now feel like the boy whom the cow . run over. Lawyer M. A. Carlisle, has been elected president of the National . Bank of Newberry, to succeed the late J. N. Martin, and Mr. T. J. Mc Crary that of the cotton mills to succeed the same deceased. The Columbia State, in commenting upon the management of the State's side in the Crawford case was unjustly harsh and severe upon Solicitor Thurmond and Mr. Mc M ster, attorneys for Mr. Stuart. The Columbia street railway has been sold to a syndicate that owns the Charleston system. It is said that the property acquired will be greatly improved. A fire broke out in the business portion of Augusta, Ga, last week destroying a large number of store and other buildings entailing a loss of about $250,000. A beautiful monument to the memory of South Carolina's dead, who neaeefullv slumber at WineheR ter, Ya , was unveiled at that place on JuDe G.h. Several cases of small pox are reported from Newberry county. The disease is confined entirely to negroes. Gov. McSweeney has been notified that a cannon captured from the Spanish will be presented to this State. Five cottages near the penitentiary, were consumed by fire this morning, in Columbia. The movement to restrict suffcrags in Noith Carolina, will likely prove a success. I The thermometer registered 102 degrees in Columbia last Thursday. Eleven contests are booked already for the next Congress to consider. There will be a big Alliance gathering at Seneca, on July 4th. Millions of people are said to be | starving in Russia.

Our Men Suffered Terribly While Two Officers Were Killed and 21 Men Wounded, 40 Per Cent, of 4,500 Soldiers Exhausted by Heat. Manila, June 10, 4:110 p. m.?At day break today a force of 4,500 men under Gens. Lawton, Wheatou and Ovccshine advanced from San Pedro Macati, sweeping the country between the Bay of Manila and Bay Lake, south of Manila. By noon the country had been cleared almost to Paranaque. The Americans lost two officers killed and 21 soldiers wounded. The rebels resisted desperately at the stronger of their position", and left 50 dead in the trenches. Many more wounded were left behind by the rebels in their retreat. The heat during the day was overpowering, aiirl thprp wprp mnnv r>rn<tt rations of American soldiers from that cause. Gen Lawton's forces consisted of two battalions each of the Twentyfirst and Ninth infantry, six companies of the Colorado volunteers and a detachment of artillery. The Nevada cavalry was uDder Gen. Wheaton, and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth infantry, the Fourth cavalry and a detachment of light artillery were under Gen. Ovenshine. It was scarcely day when the troops, in a loDg, silent procession wound up the hillside behind the American trenches and formed a skirmish line. Cjncealed in the jungle, the advance rebel outposts fired a few shots before being seen. The opposing forces occupied two ranges of crescent-shaped hills. The artillery, the Colorado infantry and the Nevada cavalry swurg around the hilltop on the lift and opened the battle at C:30 o'clock. The rebels made no response from the hills, and the Colorado men cautiously advanced through the thick grass until they were confronted by a trench, from which a fe-v weak volleys were fired. A spirited response followed and a charge into the trench found it to be deserted. Iu the meantime part of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth regiments formed in skirmish line, extending a mile to the right and supported by the rest of the regiments, swept down the valley and up the hillside toward another treuch. Approaching through the nrorass seriously hampered the Fourteenth, and the rebels, taking advantage of this, pouring a galling fire upon them for 30 minutes. The Fourteenth was twice compelled to withdraw for the purpose of finding a safe place of crossing the swamp. Finally the trench was enfiladed on both fiinks. The rebels fied to the woods and sustained severe loss. Gen. Lawton then pushed his entire command south of Paranaque, when he swung around and halted on account of the heat. During the march" Americans were prostrated on all sides owing to lack of water and exposure to the sun. It is estimated that -10 per cent, of the troops were exhausted. The double turreted monitor Monadnock and three other vessels shelled Paranque this morning and the rebels promptly evacuated the place. AMERICANS OCCUPY PARANA QUE. Manila, June 11 ?Geu. Liwton's forces have occupied Paransque. The rebels had escaped to the noith during the night. Only amigos 'friend*-) were found in town.

The commencement exercises of the Lexington Classical Institute were largely attended by the friends and patrons of the school. Each of the three nights the court house, where the exercise were held, was so packed and jimmed that even there was not standing room left unoccupied. It was indeed a happy occasion and the large and appreciative audiences inspired the young Demosthenes and the lovely and graceful essayists and declaiiners to do their best to interest their friends and to show tff to the best advantage the careful training they had received from their instructress, and that they surpassed the expectation of even their most sanguine friends is the verdict of all. All the credit is due Miss Ellen Hendiix, the assistant teacher of the Institute, upon whose shoulders the i cr jjuuoi Uiiiiicc ui LUC fAatioco nac placed, owing to the illness of the principal, Mr. 0. D. Seay, for the very successful manner in which the program was carried out. The reputation of Miss Hendrix as a teacher of unusual ability is confined not j alone to this county, but extends to ; adjacent ones where she has taught i i with marked success and given gen- ! eral satisfaction. By her untiring j zeal, cartful training aDd unrufH'.d ! patience the youth?, maidens and lit ! tie ones had been drilled to marvel- j ous peifeetion, and the plaudits that each one received was but added honor to tLe (fticiency of the ir be-i loved teacher. J A Muller, one of the trustees j of this school district, opened the exercises with a skoit but. timely and appropriate address, at the ccncluof which he called upon the Rsv. W. D. Quick to invoke the divine blessing, which he did in an eloquent aDd feivput supplication. Where each one on the program performed their part so well it is impossible to discriminate between them and we shall not undertake to do so. We publish the program on the first page of this it sue, to which we invite the attention of our readers. On Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, the baccalaureate sermon was preach ed by the Rev. E. A. Wingard, pastor of St. Raul Latherau church in Columbia. He based his remarks on the Scriptural quotation, "As your faith is so be it unto you." His lesson was faith, and the discourse was a masterly one, beautifully expressed in the choicest and purest language and in an impressive manner that carried conviction to the minds of all who heard it. <fpMMER ajTARRH iiin<e if if inost prevalent in J v-3 //; sitiKmrr months, is calltd 9 summer catJi r/i. iWltLhk, bh'\ It surprises many that | ff(; I bowel trouble is catarrhal.

To the E jitor of the Dispatch: One of the most fearful fires ever seen in these parts, occurred last Saturday, in which Mrs. Alice Lowman, of the Sinclair section, lost practically everything she had in the way of feed, horses and farming implements. Mrs. Lowman and her son were away at the time. It is doubtful if there were better lot buildings in the Fork than those that hnrned. The larger of the two was a """* a two-story building, with stock below and food above. About 0 o'clock this was discovered to be on fire. It originated in the entrance, so nothing could be saved. Her small grain Had just been gathered, which went to the flrmes. No rain bad fallen for weeks and the heat from the fire was terrible. Some say the flame from this building leaped two hundred feet in the air. Two splendid horses and a colt were burned to death. The other buildiDg, which caught about the same time, was a large bouse in which wagons, buggies and tools were kept. Oulv the buggy was saved from this. Things I were so dry that the fire soon began I to spread. The lot fence, pasture j fence and garden pailing were all burned. Only one building in the lot was ea\ed and that only by heroic lighting done by some of the neighbors. It is almost certain that it is the work of an incendiary. The community is aroused and it would fare ill with the party who did it if he were caught. There is none for whom more sympathy could exist. As busy a9 it is with the neighbors, they are replacing the building and making provisions for her faim to be worked. Mrs. T. W. Gladoey, with her two children, from Augusta, Gi., is now with Mr. T. J. Gladney, of this place. The Uuited Childrens' Exercise of the Bethel charge, will be held this year in Bethel church, August loth. The long aod tedious drought was broken last Sunday afternoon. S.

Ia Mrs. Barton Harrison's new serial, The Circie of a Century, which begun in The Saturday Evening Post of June 10, the author deals with two periods of society life in New York City, separated by the lapse of a century, but linked together by the kinship of the characters. Part I pictures New York at the c'ose of the Revolution, and sho-vs the bumble beginnings of a family which has since become immensely wealthy, and the departing splendors of their aris-tocratic neighbsrs. In Part II the scene is shifted to the New Y'ork of today, and the story fellows the fortunes of the new generation of Hopes and Warrincrs. Each part is a complete novelette. Always in her element when writi idg od society themes, Mrs. Hariison has outdone herself in The Circle cf a Century, and has produced a romance of absorbing interest. Resolutions cf Respect. At a Sunday school meeting of St. Peter's (MeetzeV) church, held on the 2d Sunday in June, 1899, a committee was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions to the memory of Earl Wessinger, a member of our Sunday school. They are as follows: Whereas, it has pleased our heav enly father to remove from the Sunday school below to the one above, Early Wessinger, a faithful member, and, whereas, we desire to express our appreciation of her faithfulness as a member of our Sunday school, therefore, be it Resolved, 1 That we bow in humble submission to the will of our heavenly Father. 2. That we sadly f xpress ourselves that one in youth should be removed so early, but we recognize the fact that it is for her eternal gain.

There are tvo cases in the incorporated limits, one a young white man, and the other a colored girl. Both of these are mild forms of the disease. There were four cases of a severer type, but now con valeseent, which are a mile from (own and isolated.
