MTOIIY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George

tells how such a slave was made

been so helpless for five year^
that alio could not turn over iti
bed alone. After using two bottles
of Electric Hitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work.'' This supreme
remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepliness,
melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle workinp

SKVKKK BATTLE FOUGHT
i the Philippines on Tuesday,
Juno i:L
The American troops stirred up
le of the liveliest engagements
the war in the Philipines. The
jhting raged from daylight until
irk. The American field guns
*re engaged in the first artillery
ip! against a Filipino battery
ncealed in the jungle. Two
mpanies of the twenty-first
fantrv were nearly surrounded
' a large body of insurgents, but
e Americans cut their way out
ith heavy loss.
The United States turret ship
onadnock and the gunboats
elena and Zeafiro trained their
itteries on Bakoor and the rebel
Bnches near Las l'inas all the
orning. Bakoor was once on
e and the natives stopped the
iread of the flames. Home made
mister loaded with nails was
led by the insurgeants. Their
looting was most acurate and
inaiderable damage was done.
Ah soon as the fighting opened
e Americans were attacked by
dden riflemen on all sides, even
e amigos, or "friendly" natives
the houses of the town shootg
into their rear.
ENEMY WELL ORGANIZED.
The Filipino force engaged ap
iars 10 nave neen Uie largest
id best organized body of men
hich has met our troops.
The Americans are compelled
advance along narrow roads
id over small bridges cotnmanid
by earthworks ten feet thick.
The only means of crossing the
mote was by a small bridge
hich the Filipinos comman
id with trenches spreading V
aped, whence they could conntrate
their fire on the bridge,
ley also had the advantage of
e trees and jungle so the Amerans
cou'd hardly see ahead.
When the battle was resumed
1 o'clock with the reinforeeents.
our battery having sineed
the enemy's guns, the
merman's wading waist deep in
e mud of the salt tlats, slowly
ul pouring steady volleys of
usketry at the rebels, drove
eir opponents beyond the river.
' RAPID FIRE" FOR THREE HOI KS
When the two armies lay fac
g each other across the deep
ream, the enemy, practically
it of sight while the men in bine
id khaki lay in the mud and
ishes, many of them without
elter, for three hours, without a
ement's cessation in the firing,
Hired bullets at the enemy as
st as they could load. The
ousand rilles blended into ><
ntnioiiH roar was vastly (liHorit
from the intermittent skir
ishlike rattle of most of the engements.

One battalion after another
(Jen. Law ton summoned the reserves
from I.j-i l'lhiia 11II r I 1 nnlv
enough troops were left in the
town to prevent the Filipinos
from attacking the Americans in
the rear, which was leared, as
they were creeping around our
i loft through the woods,delivering
a Hanking lire, which put a great
strain upon the endurance of the
Americans who were lloundering
in the mud across the river, while
on the right the Filipino sharpshooters,
hidden in tno trees,
were peppering our men. But,
thanks to the poor marksmanship
of the rebels, the loss was
not as great as if the Filipinos
had shot straight.
MKN HKHAVK1) IIANDHOMKI.Y.
Ail artny lias seldom fought under a
greater handicap or more courageously
than did our regulars, a majority of
whom were, comparatively speaking,
recruits, who could have been pardoned
for retiring in the face of such
a tierce lire Ironi their exposed positions.
The Fourteenth regiment lay to the
right of the bridge and in front of
them was the Twelfth regiment, with
the Ninth on the right and the Twenty-first
up the road facing the bridge,
which was the key to trie situation.
On the bridge were the bodies of the
amici ivan.i n nu iiau ai ic in pieu IU rusil
across and many wounded men were
carried from the open ground before
the bridge.
After tiring in volleys for a short
time tlie Americans were ordered to
tire when and where they could see
the enemy. It was everything for
himself and the best our men could
do was to aim at the mist made by the
smokeless powder.
After silencingthe big gun at Cavite
Viejo, the gunboats ran close along the
shore, bombarding the rebel position.
The rebels replied with rilie tire and
with the tire of some small pieces of
artillery. So vigorous was the enemy's
tire that at 0.20 a. m , the gunboat Helena
joined the small gunboats already
named and the Princeton, Montery
and Monadnock from their anchorages,
dropped occasional big shells
among the rebels. This, apparently,
only served to incite the rebels as they
kept up an incessant tire of musketry
and artillery near the mouth of the
Zanote river two north of l!?i
coor. T!ie lire cif n 11 seven warships
was eminent rated on this point shortly
after noon, when the upper hay presented
the appearance of being t lie
scene of si grea naval battle. The
rebels were eventually forced to abandon
their irons after holding out for
about tour hours, only to he confronted
by (Jen. I.awtnn's force on land and 111
their rear, where there was heavy
lighting.
Iteyond the destruction of several
buildings along the water front the
effect of the bombardment is not
