All Efforts to Entrap Them Have Been In Vain.?Not a Very Bright Outlook for the Errlv Ending of the War. N. Y. World. One of the strongest organs of imperialism publishes this dispatch from Washington: The commissioners admit in their dispatches to the State department, that all efforts to corral the insurgents and capture any considerable body of them have failed because of their knowledge of the country, and their ability to see through the lines the Americans endeavor to draw about. Gen. Olis in bis dispatch to the war department Sunday says: Terrific heat yesterday enabled a majority of the insurgents to escape in scattered organizations south and westward, which they effected during the evening and night. And the Associated Press dispatch from Manila says: The insurgents have s^ain proved their facility as dodger?, between 3,000 and 4,000 warriors who seemed destined to be captured having disappeared, the majority sliding away under cover of the night, after fight ing the Americans all day. S:>ma others came .to meet our troops with protestations of friendship. These presentments, all official, fix attention directlv upon a most im poitant factor in the Philippine campaign. * Although our troops have routing the Filipinos almost every day for 127 days, they have . succeeded in making prisoners of only such Filipinos as were too desperately wounded to escape. Putting aside the considerations of climate upon which General Oiis touches, there still remains this group of facts: The Filipino fights until he is in danger of capture. If he cannot escape he hides his gun and pretends to be a non-combatant. And there is no way of proving that he is net telliDg the truth, because the whole country is filled with men j of his race, some of whom are fight- | iDg and some of whom are peaceful, but all of whom are united by race r> ia tlicrAfnrA imnnssible to iico.

Manila, June 10, 5:45 p. us.?After cutting the railroad and telegraph at Apalit, sc-ven miles north, for the purpose of severing connection, the rebels attacked Gen. MacArthur's lines at San Fernando at 1:30 this morning. They met with an unexpectedly war in reception and were repulsed with a loss of 75 killed, 30 prisoners and many wound, d. The rebels* force is estimated to have been numbered 5,000 men. They advanced stealthily frcm the jungle north cf the city and t'utn divided with the evident purpose of surrounding the Americans. The outposts of the Iowa regiment discovered the enemy and retired to their lines, where the entire division awaited ia an entrenched position. The Iowa regiment received the first shock of the attack. Reserving their fire until the enemy was within G;)0 yards, the first volicy of the Ame:icans hit the rebels, who returned the fire wildly, the rest cf the line failing to advance. The Americans, who thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of the situation awaiting an attack, sallied forth, and the insurgents j thereupon turned and fled into the jungle- Our loss was 14 men wounded, and the majority of them are only slightly hurt. A Spanish officer who has been a prisoner in the hands of the rebels, and who was released by Aguinaldo, has cc-me through our lines to Manila He claims to have been a witness of the assassination of Gen. Luna. According to his sfory, the relations between the two Filipino lead- j ers had been strained to the breaking ' point because of Luna's attempts to j assume control of sffiirs, and the } fiDal rupture was forced by Aguinaldo issuing secret orders to the provincial governments. Luna thereupon notified Aguiual- | do, demanding copies of the documents, and Aguinaldo replied curtly that Luna was a general of the army and that the civil government did not concern him. Luna, on opening the reply at his headquarters, in the j presence of his officers, exclaimed holy: "He will be dead tomorrow.'"' One officer, who was fiiendly to Aguiraldo hastened to warn him, and Aguinaldo called together 20 trusted soldiers, fellow townsmen of his, and stationed them around his with instructions to kill any one attempting to enter, regardle^g of rank. Luna appeared the next day and saw Aguinaldo at the window.. A member of the guard said: "Aguinaldo has gone to inspect troops."1 Luna then exclaimed, "You are a liar,1' drew his revolver, struck the guard and tried to force an entrance into the bouse. Before he could use his revolver one of the guards bayonetted him, another shot him in the back and others stabbed him. In all he had 20 wounds. Luna's aidedecamp was killed in the same way. The Spaniard's story has not entirely dispelled the doubts of Luna's death, and bets that he his is still alive are frequently made at the clubs. Some people think Aguinaldo has taken pains to send the Spaniards here with his story for the furtherance of some diplomatic scheme, i . xU Viae WOliC 01Uera auapeuL .Iguiuaiau uao been assassinated by Luna's men. Since the Americans withdrew from Candaba recently the rebels have returned and have wreaked upon those who befriended the Americans. They slaughtered the natives who surrendered the town, and displayed their heads on poles and in the public square. The hostile natives of Cebu are more menacing. Mail advices say hostilities against the Americans have begun there. Col. Hamer, the American commander, has asked for re-enforcements, and four companies c-f the Tennessee regiment have been sent to him from Iloilo. The Nebraska regiment has been ordered to sail for home early next week. THE INCREASE OF ARMY IN PHILIPPINES.

His curiosity was awakened, as be j I rode alongside of him, to know how ! he chanced to meet with such a misfortune. "Been in the army, I guess?" was the anxious icqury. ' Never was in the array in my life," the traveler returned. ' Fit a duel, p'haps?" "Never fought a duel, sir." "Horse throwed you off, I guess, or something of that sort?" "No, sir, nothing of the kind." Johnatban tried various dodges, but all fo no effect. At last, almost out of patience, he determined on a direct inquiry as to the nature of the accident by which the gentleman had come to lose his leg. "I will tell you," said the traveler, "on condition that you will promise not to ask me another question." "Agreed, agreed!" exclaimed the eager listuer joyfully. "Well, sir," remarked the gentleman, "it was bit off!" "Bit off!" cried Jonathan. "Waal, I declare; I'd just like to know, pow| erful well, what on arth bit it off!"

Plucky Mrs. Laiimer Was the Jlcro- ' j ine of an Exciting Adventure With j the Bloodthirsty Sioux In Wyom j ing Territory In 18G1. Philade.'pLii Times. While in Washington one day I J saw come out of the department of i justice a woman of attractive appear- j ance. As she paused a moment on j the step and looked with Lriget, ob- ! i servant eyes over at the White House j and along Pennsylvania avenue, she presented a picture of comfortable, I placid middle age. One of the attorneys from the Indian depredaI tion claims department accompanied her to the door, and after she bade I him goodby he said: ''That woman is Mrs. Sarah L Larimer of Nebraska, and she is i making her yearly vi?it to Washing- j too. When at the capital, she | j always calls on her friends in the j department of justice. The files of Indian depredation claims contain no more romantic and thrilliDg incidents than those which relate the early life of Mrs. Larimer. Those who meet her now as a woman of the | present day, quite abreast of the times in which she lives, interested in all public questions and full of kindly sympathies, can scarcely real- i ize that in her youth she was the heroine of a regular 'dime novel' story of the plains. "In 1SGI Lieutenant Larimer, who I had just been honorably discharged ! from the Union army, left his homo in Kansas, accompanied by his young wife and little child, to cross the j plains for the restoration of his health, which had given out- through hard service in the war. They were in company with several other travelers and had with them valuable personal belongings, consisting of several wagons and horses, expensive clothing, family jewels, a complete photographic outfit and nearly $1,000 in money. "When in Wyoming territory they were surprised by a band of Sioux Indians, who murdered three of the party, wounded two, Lieutenant Larimer being one of the wounded, and captured Mrs. Larimer and her child. The Indians took the woman and child to their camp, about 70 miles from the spot where they had attacked the travelers. 4 A day or two after the attack news came to the Eleventh cavalry, stationed at Fort Laramie, Wy., that the Sioux had attacked travelers on the emigrant road and had earned Mrs- Larimer and her child into captivity. Lieutenant Larimer had been found, nearly dead from arrow i wound3 and distracted at the fate | which had befallen his wife and j baby. The officers of the Eleventh immediately moved part of their command up the Platte river and obtained further information as to where the raid had taken p'ace. They were about to move against the Indians with a force of two companies when Mrs. Larimer came crawling into camp, carrying her child in her arms. Their condition was deplorable. She and the child were j nearly famished. As soon as Mrs. Larimer was able she gave a detailed account of the position of the Indians, their plans and movements, their designs against the commind which they knew would be moving against them, their numbers and the - * ? . * i i | ambuscades wDu-n moy nau prepared. Her information was so valuable that the officers were able to thwart the designs of the Indians, not only against the pursuing troops, but agaiust exposed points and trains that were on tbe emigrant road. ''The officers found the information Mrs. Larimer gave as to tbe i po.-ition and movements of the In! dians to be exactly as she had said | and marveled at the powers of obi servalion and clearness of memory I which had endured through the i hours of torture she had gone ! through. The accuracy of her stileI mc-nts was particularly verified by the fact that one of the lieutenants ' and a few of his men, who had clis I obeyed orders and followed a trail : apart from the command, foil into an ; ambuscade described by Mrs. LjiiI mer and were killed. "Mrs. Larimer was never quite j clear as to how many hours she had passed with the Indians. From the i moment of captivity, when they had started eft' with her child and hersc-if in their train, she had concentrated every faculty on watching for an opportunity of escape. She had seen her husband struck down by arrows, | killed, as she supposed; had seen the wagons fired and her friends killed and wounded. She had read of the tortures inflicted by Indians j upon women captives, never imagic- ! iijg that one day she would be their ; wretched victim. She was determined, if possible, to get herself and child away from their clutches and j die in some other way.than by their | tortures. She had always been a girl ot tearless disposition, (pm-ii. m her movements and very observant, i She pretended to be bodily in a lan- : guid arid almost immovable state. ; After hours of waiting and watchiDg : their dances and listening to their : plans for further depredations, when they had erased to observe her, she found a r-b*nce to slip away beyond the rire- " > the daik bush. For hours and hours, through two days j and nights, she struggled on, faint, | nearly dead, until she fell exhausted ; in the camp of the cavalry. ' It was a happy time, of course, j when she found her yonng husband alive. All they had in the world was i gone, but after the horrors of their experience had passed away a little and health was in a measure restored ; thev started out afresh. Mrs. Lari- j mer has always been the business manager of the firm. Her husband j never bad his he-alth completely r~ . stored." (xloriaus i7sw3 i I Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T. He writes: ''Four i bottle3 of Electric Bitters has cured j INErs. Brewer of scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. !

An ird-Vition of this is the fact that between 1800 and 1808 the number of bales taken by southern mills more than doubled, the 1,000,000 bale mark having passed in 1807, while the takings by nothern mills, flue1" ating from year to year, have creased generally but slowly. Du. ing the same period, while the in crease of spindles in the whole country was about 33 per cent, the increase in 12 southern states, according to The Manufacturer's Record, was 151 pc-r cent. Already the southern millp, duiing the present season, have taken 1,031,132 bales, an increase of 17,801 bales over their takings in the same period last seasod, whilo the northern spinners have taken 2,077,037 bales, a decrease of 8.7,802 bales.
