Hie will enter upon his duties at the open ing of the college next fall. -The weather has been very favo rable to the farmers who have wheat ready for harvesting and those in and near Winnsboro have had the sun shine that they wished for. The har -,vesting of the wheat in Mr. Doty's ,'priza field attracted a crowd of people rom towi who watched the large eaper and binder for hours doing ts work so rapidly. The yield from his field of wheat will doubtless be insurpassed by any in the State, and t is said to be the finest ever grown ibeut here. -A special.train carrying the Win hrop . students passed through on Fhursday morning.

McMaster Co. -There was another fruitless but rather exciting chase after Ton iill on Thursday. A negro from Mr. Hugh S. Wylie's place came to town and stated that he had seen Hill in the woods. The negro said that he knew Hill well and he had not been mis taken. The negro's story was evi detly true and a party of men from town started out on horses in pursuit of Tom Hill. After a careful search nothirg could be seen of him and the party returned home. Bill is evi dently in hiding 'in the woods and galleys and will probably succeed in eluding his pursuers for some time to come. Those who are familiar with the country around Winnsboro say that one can travel from Creight's woods to White Oak without coming ut of woods, excepting once for a very short distance. This seems to be the path chosen by Hill, as he has been seen in several different places between here and White Oak. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bougt signture of ' Milnery! Millinery!

Cagayan, Mindano Island, Philio pines, April 14.-I wrote you while we were camped on the i~uneta at Manila and hope that it rt. 'd you. We sailed from Manila c~<iebruary 14th on transports Salvadora and Castebano and the 45th regiment on U. S. transport Tarar. The 1st bat talion of ar regiment was unloaded at Lagaspi and 2nd and 3rd battalions with the 45th regiment were unloaded a~t Neveva Caceres on extreme south ern portion of Luzon Island. The. 1st battalion had qtite a fight a' . a great deal of heavy marching through the mountains and captured from the insurgents something over a hundred Spanish prisoners who were in an awful physical condition, On March 23rd we were again loaded on the ar transports leaving the 45th at N -Nia Caceres to garrison the town. O March 29th we landed at this place, 3rd battalion consisting of companies I K G and M with colonel and staff and band. The natives sur rendered the town [without any re sistance, with twelve.Remington rifles, which they claimed were all. Nearly al of the natives left the town on the following day, and on the morning of April 7th they attacked the town at about 5 o'clock, 1,200 strong, with spears and shields and about 200 Remington, Springfield rifles, and shotguns. I was on guard at the time and saw the attack from the start. I was corporal of the guard at Major Case's quarters, which consisted of three men and myself, with one on post two hours at a time. The guard stood inside of the front door in the hallway and the sentry walked just outside the door on the street, and Major Case, with Lieut. Flstcher and Liet. Berchard, sleeping above. They made Major Case's their main point 'of dtack, as it was battalion headquarters. At 5 o'clock the sentry called us and said that we bad better get up as he could hear a strange noise some distance off. As soon as I awoke and heard the noise I knew what it was and started to load my gun. As I went to the door and upon reaching tbe street and Jlooking down at about 200 yards distance I could see at least 100 coming in a run and yell ing, flinging their knives over their heads. We commenced to shoot by volleys into them, which had no effect, and they kept coming, and when with in about 25 yards of us we retreated bak inside the door in the hallway and they esme in on us (vith their boloes and we used our guns as clubs and shooting at the samo time. The first three that came in cut one of the guards all to pieces with their bolves, which only left three of us. They were trying to make their way up the stairs where the officers were sleeping at the time, but we succeded in keep ing them down. They brought ladders with them and put them to the win dows and tried to go up, but the oM cers shot them from above as fast as they could start up. We guards had to fight hand to hand with them until the companies could get out, which took about fifteen minutes. I can't see how we guards got out with our lives, as the house was shot all to pieces and the bolo men inside on us. As soon as the companies got out they chared on them and drove them ia everr direction, shooting them down every step. After everything had quieted 'town we found that we had killed six and wounded one. They took no prisoners, but killed every thing in sight. When they went tc hunt up the dead and wounded the) found two dead American soldiers, who were boloed to death on the out. postnd ten wounded Americans two of whom have since died from their wounds. The captain of my: company was shot through the foot and left :yesterday with the wounded for Manila on the U. S. hospital ship Relief. They found 52 dead insurg ents and 12 wounded. We buried the dead next day and took the wounded to the hospital where they are receiving treatment, and er ry now and again one will die. ' re are two in the hospital who ar iot six times through the head wit' Ig Jogenson rites and are still 15 And look as if they will recover. Tfiront post had a very close shave, only two of them being killed. Since the at tack the Major has 6rdered that when ever I am on guard that I be sent to his quarters, which relieves me of the dangerous outpost. The natives have mostly ll returned to their homes in the town and report 100 of their men killed and 150 wounded. We are still finding dead ones :on the outskirts of the town, and for six miles each way you can see blood all over the road and in some houses, which goes to show that a great many were wounded. We are now prepared for an attack at any time and looking for it. I think that they will try to burn the town next time. We rise levery morning at 4 o'clock and cach company takes its position as they attack every time just at day-break. It they [ever attack us while in position there will be hun dreds of them killed and then we will never ha7e any more attacks at this place. The Major thinks that they will not attack us again, and I hope they won't. We will remain here the balance of our enlistment and garrison the town. Cagayan is on the north ern portion of the Island of Mindano and a much healthier country than Luzon We have very little sickness in the regiment at present, and what little we have is chills and fever. I will have to close this, but will write you again before many days and a somewhat better piece. I am on guard every other day. We have at present a very strong guard and will continue to keep it on for a while whieh makes it very hard on the men. With best wishes to your paper and self I ani Yours truly, Robt. A.
