BATTLE OF QUENCUA. American LossesNine WeroKiUod and -44 Wounded. Manila. April 23. The town -iOf0iKn!:u;i, six miles northeast ol Malolos, was captured to day bv the American in a firce bat tle, but not until we lost Colonel loha M. Stotseuburg, of the First Nebraska Volunteers; Lieu tenant Sessions, four privates of the Nebraska lcgimentand three men of the Fourth Cavalry, and had forty-four wounded. The battle was a splendid c sample of American bravery. Major litll, with forty men of the Fourth Cavalry, was recon neutering, when he suddenly came upon a strong rebel post The first intimation of the pres ence of rebels was :. heavy vol ley, w hich killed one of his men and wounded five.

Major IlcII sent for re enforce ments, .and a battalion of the Nebraska regime nl, under Ma- ' "r M'-tlor.l, arrived. They firtd voi:.-. aiitr oi;ey, ami attempt ed to force the Filipinos lrom their po-ition, but could not. They advanced, but the rebel tire was oo heavy and they were checked. The Americans tlropped into the rice furrows about a third ol .i naie iioiii ii.e irnei iiei'eues and lav there tor twt hours Finally the second battalion came on the elouble eiuiek. They knew their comrades Were in serious danger. With them was Coloial Stotsc nburir, who bad just come from Manila, where he spent Saturday night with his wife and family. As he came upon the field the men recognized him and raised a great cheer. He saw the situation in an in stant, lie had been an Indian tighter and knew just what to do. It was a desperate move. "Charge!" he shouted, leaping forwarti and firing his revolver as he ran. His men and the cav alrymen sprang forward, and on they rushed. A perfect rain of bullets cut into their ranks. The rebels were to get the bayonet. Men were dropping all around. When but 000 feet from the rebel trenches, Colonel Stotsenburg staggered and fell, killed with a rebel bullet in his breast. To one side was the gallant Sessions. He was particularly eatriu the fray. A bullet cut his heart in two. It just missed the miniature ol a girl which he wore suspended from a ribbon around hi- neck. Oa .and on Nebraskaus went. They had seen their colonel fall. The Filipinos stood until the troeps were right on the trench es, and then theyJolted to the second line of intrenchments, a ndle back. Thirteen dead Filipinos were found in the trenches. Their loss was comparatively small on ac count of their safe shelter. IJut there could be no halting. Companies from the Iowa and Utan Volunteers were in the charge. Anvfhcerof theUtahans and two lieutenants of the Ne braskaus were wounded, in ad dition to privates, and American blood was up. The light artil lery got into position and bedehed forth its missiles of eleath to clear the way. Over the first line of trenches the men leaped and away they went for the second trench. The Filipinos fired as they ran. At the second trench they halted to repel our men, but the blue line never halted. They took the second trench with but slight loss, and are holding Quengua to-night. The loss of the Nebraska regi ment in the campaign is the greatest sustained by any regi ment and to-day's disaster has p-reatlv saddened ofheers and men. who promise to take fierce venireance in the next fight. The regiment contained many college men. The Answer. A rose in tatters on the garilen path. Cried out to God and murmured 'gainst Lis wrath.

Kudyard Kij.ling. Stephen Johnson Field. Justice Field was one of seven brothers, all of whom were elis tinguished for ability und ener gy. The eldest. David Dudley, the eminent jurist anil leader in coilitication td the law. Timo tli3, an officer in the navy, was lost at sea in 1S3G. Matthew I?, was a noted civil engineer. Jonathan F. was president d the Massachusetts Senate. Cy rus West Field, projector of the Atlantic cable, was the sixth of the brothers, and the seventh the sole survivor is the Kev. Henry Martyu Field, author and editor. The career of the subject of this sketch was well summarized by Chief-Iustiee I:uller of the Supreme Court of the Unite-el States when announcing to the members of the bar that Mr. Justice Field had died full ol years and of honors and attend ed by all that should accompany old age. "His judicial career," the Chief Justice added, "was unexampled in length and dis tinction, anel he occupicel a seat upon this bench for a longer period th-in any ol its members from the beginning. His labors left no region of jurisprudence unexploreel, and now that he rests from them his works will survive him." As a mark of re spect to his memory, the court adjourned until April 11. Har per's Weekly. Coorgla Race Trouble. Atlanta, April 22. A special from Palmetto, , says: "Six negroes tf Palmetto, it is said here, hae registered a vow to kill six citizens ef the town, each negro selecting his victim and swe ai ii;g to execu'e their threats at the fust opportunity. One of the negro conspirators was Sam Hose, and the victim he seleeltel was Allen Cranford, who was. chopped to pieces ten da s ago, his wile assaulted his two children brutally treated and his home robbed. "Dr. Hal L. Johnson, who was active in securing evidence against the negro incendiaries, has itceived his warning. A let ter came a Jew days ago saying he had beeu selected by the con spirators and would be killed at the first oppertunity. "II. I. Daniel, another citizen of the town, has been warned and an ambuscaele .was laid for him several nights ago. Four negroes waited several hours for him to pass the place where they were concealed, but by accident the negroes were discovered. "Other citizens have been threatened with death and re peattdlv negroes have rung door bells and then concealed them selves, their intention being, ft is asserted, to kill their victim when he appeared at tne door. The vcudetta that has been declared by the negroes and the reign ol terror that followed the burning of the stores and hotel in Paltnetto has brought great anxiety to the meu and anguish to the women of the town. The negroes arc leaving Palmetto cverv day. Twenty-three fami lies have left this week; twofam- ilies left yesterday and others are getting ready to depart. Bv actual count it has been as certained that only 31 families now remain in Palmetto. PREACHERS' SALARIES. Archbishop of Canterbury 860,000 a Year- Chicago Record. In offering Dr. Emil G. Hirsch $15,000 a year for fifteen years to remain as its pastor, Sinai congregation of Chicago will pay him as large a salary as is received by any clergyman in the United States. It is the same that is paid Bishop Potter of New York, who, however, has a rectory furnished, heated and, I. . f r . tfhtPfl lrii nl row!-. iu is nrn. r: , . , . ' w vided with a private secretary. i ne late Kev. ur. iiail oi tne F'llth Avenue Presbyterian church of New York, eluring the last years of his li e, rceeived the largest salary ever paiil to clergyinau in the Uniteel States, which was $20,000 a year with a manse. Dr. Hall's salary proper was $1 5.000, and $5,000 additional was contnbuted bv Robert lltmner anel two other wealthy members of the ctmgre- gation. His successor, Mr. i-onneli, wlm comes rotn Regent's Park Presbyterian church of London, is offered . 10,000 and a residence. That is the salary paid to Dr. Gregory, deau of St. Paul's cathedral, anil Dr. Bradley, elean of Westminster abbey, London. Dean Farrar receives $7,000 a year. The hierarchy of the church ol Hngland enjoy enormous sala ries, which are necessary to maintain the large establish ments rctiuired of them. The trchbishop of Canterbury re ceives. $00,000 a year, but he needs every cent of it tt meet his social and ecclesiastical obliga lions at Lambeth palace, the home of tne primate oi tne church of Fngland. The salary of the archbishop of York and that of the archbishop of Lon don is $50,000 a vcar. The archbishop of Ireland receives $12,500. The other Bishops of the Church of Fngland are paid from CL'.OOO to 5,000 a year. The average pay of a vicar in Fngland is $o,500 outside the large cities. In the cities the sal ary varies according to the wealth ol the parrish, from $2,500 to $10,000. The Fpiscopalians and Presbv terians pay larger salaries than any other denominations, but the pulpits most envied in the United States are those of the collegiate reformed Dutch church of New York City. There are seven or eight churches of that denomination under the same management and supported from an endowment that is ex ceedingly rich. Its income is next to that of Tnnitv church. and amounts to several hundred thousand dollars a year. The pastors of thecollegiate churches are paid $10,000 for life and are allowed to retire lrom active pastoral work when they reach the age of C5 years. Trinity parrish is the richest in the world, and has an income of about $300,000 from build ings and other investments. It supports five or six churches, sev eral schools, hospitals and other charitable institutions and pays the manager of its business a salary of $10,000 a year. The rector ol Triuity church receives $12,500 a year, f ne same sal ary is paid by St. Thomas' and St. Bartholomew's. I was in formed by gooel authority that five clergymen in New York City received that salary and at least twelve received $10,000 a year. The average pay of a clergyman in New York City, excepting the pastors of mission churches, is probably $G,000. The formal transfer of the Liggett & Myers Tobacco com pany, of St. Louis, has been made to the trust. President M. C.

Happy and Blessed of Columbia's Daughters. In concluding an editorial inspired by a Southern girFn ret that she cannot go tr ollege, I'd ward Bok, in the April Ladies' Home Journal, has th's to say of the girls of the Southland: The Southern girl is surround ed by a life far truer and more conducive to sell-development than girls living in edher sec tions, because social conditions are more norms!. Her life is healthier because it is saner, anel her mind, by reason of it, is clearer and more constantly nt rest. The rush of life of the North anel West is not so stimulating as many Southern girls suppose. On tbecont rary.it wears women out as often as it develops them. In no part of eur country do women look yrMiriger at matu rity than in the South. To the Southern girl, teo Nature blooms in a prolusion as she eloes nowhere else. The natural history which the Northern girl must get out cf books theSouth ern girl gets direct from Nature's own hand. She is born of a sen! as rich and colorful in romantic history as is the literature of Spain. This she receives as a natural heritage. Her parents are, and her ancestors were, among the best types of American chivalry anel American womanhood. She hears but one language spoken, and that is her own. If there is the introduction e)f another tongue it is French, and with these two she can travel the world otcr and never be at a disadvantage. The religion which she learns from her mother Is the highest and best because it is untainted with modern 'revelations The truest friend and safest teacher in 'highest living' a girl can have is her mother, and in the South mothers have a way of finding time for their elaughters and being companions to them. The Southern father is lond of his children, and proves it by his presence at the domestic hearth afc his elays business is over. Twelve Filipinos Killed. Manila, April 21.
