A raft was built and the men crossed in squads of 20, a couple of privates swimming the swift stream under a galling fire, for the purpose of guiding the raft. The First Nebraska Regiment, acting as a reserve, attacked the reb- els in three lines of trenches, driving them out, killing 16 and wound- ing many.

Suddenly a large body of Filipinos, estimated at no fewer than 3,000, led by General Antonio Luna, that was evidently coming to re-enforce the rebels who were engaged, appeared in the open field about two miles to the left. Emerging from the jungle, the enemy formed an open skirmish line nearly two miles in length, with very thick reserves behind. They advanced on double time, cheering and firing. When they were about 2,000 yards from the American line General Wheaton ordered his troops to fire. Then he ordered a charge.

The doctor did not talk to us for publication, but we must uphold the truth. The above article Is a He and what is more the physicians at the hospital have not the right to admit such a case. The boy's bone was not fractured, but decayed. The hospital was built for injured miners and a case of that kind should not be admitted. What Is the name of the institution? (The Miners' Hospital, is It not?) The writer makes frequent calls to this place and never once saw a patient brought in that he was not taken to the room and attended to at once.

We can sa ythe Daily News of Shenandoah don't know what they are talking about or else they were wrongly Informed. They call it a "reputed" charitable institution. We wonder what a good many Shenandoah people (in fact from all around the region) would do if it were not for this "reputed" caritable institution. Before publishing such arles the Shenandoah News should should Inquire more closely Into the matter. Everyone connected with the hospital works hard and deserve all the credit that can be given them.
