Chas. S. Desky has within the past
we?k received from new men in town
proposals looking to the separation of
himself first from the ownership and
secondly from the control for a period
of years from the well known Orpheum
ineatre property, including the play
house, stores, offices and hotel. Mr.
Desky has so far declined to enter into
any of the negotiations suggested,
though flattering offers have been men
tioned. Mr. Desky says that he will
remain in control till the Orpheum is
so well established as a popular family
theatre that there can be no question
about its future. He is quite well sat
isfied with the business at present being
done, will put opera chairs in the house
and will have new talent for the stage

The Bagbag river, which is about a
hundred yards wide at that point, was
splendidly fortified and the Americans
were compelled to approach an open
space from which the rebels had cleared
every obstruction to sight. The bank
of the river, a high bluff, was sur
mounted with trenches, capped with
rocks, loopholed and partly hidden by
bushes.

camp beyond Malolos City. General
Hale's, which started yesterday, was
earlier on the march and sweeping
westward toward the railroad. The
armored train was being pushed by
quarter of a" hiiie over a corn field ta
the bank" of the river, near the bridge
i where the insurgents from a trench
were peppering the armored train, then
'about 200 yard down the track. T3ie
company found shelter in a ditch. '
Colonel Fred Funston called for vol
unteers to cross the . river and the
colonel himself, Lieutenant Ball a pri
vate of Company K, a private of Com
pany E, Trumpeter Barsefield and Cor
poral Ferguson of Company 1 crawled
along the iron girders. While this was
going on the men of Company K from
the ditch were fusillading the trenches
in the endeavor to divert attention, but
the Filipinos got the range front a
trench down the river and their bullets
soon spattered the water under the
structure. Having reached the broken
span of the bridge the small but valor
ous party of Americans slid down the
caisson, swam a few yards to the shore
and crawled up the bank, the little
colonel leading the way to the treoches,
revolver in hand, while the few remain
ing Filipinos bolted.
Colonel Funston said afterward: "It
was not much to do. We knew they
could noV shoot straight and that our
boys would attend to them while wo
were crossing."
General Hale's troops, on the right,
had the hardest fight. They" followed
the north bank of the river nearest the
town from the east, . with the First
Nebraska regiment on the left and the
First South Dakota and the Fifty-first
Iowa beyond. The country to be trav
ersed was mostly jungle, but the Fili
pinos stood hetir ground, -even in the
open spaces.
A DESERVED PROMOTION.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26. The
Call says editorially of the promotion
of CaL.JasV Smith : - All - Call for
nians will feel something of gratifica
tion in the promotion of Col. Smith of
the First California to the rank of
brigadier general. The California men
in the Philippines have had much of
the severest work of the campaign to
do, and have distinguished themselves
for steadiness of discipline as well as
for daring valor on the field of battle.
The promotion of Gen. Smith is, of
course, a recognition of the service of
his gallant regiment, and to that extent
is an honor for the State.
The elevation of the former colonel
to the rank of brigade commander
makes room, of course, for the ad
vancement of other California officers
in the First Regiment, so that a con
siderable number of our fellow citizens
at the front will come home with high-,
er rank than when they went away.
As these promotions constitute one
of the very few pleasing features of
this dreary war with savages in a far- '
off land, they will be received with the
more gratification. Whatever may ba
the differences of opinion concerning;
the war itself, there will he none to
feel other than a just pride in every
evidence given of the military efficien
cy and patriotic valor of our boys at
the front.

Coast p.Tpers just at hand contain
two sensational yarns from Honolulu
and the necessary contradictions. The
first canard was an account of an erup
tion at Kilauea volcano, reported to
have been noted on the 1st of April. It
is well known that there was no activ
ity of the volcano at that time or at
any other recent, date. The second
story the Honolulu correspondents are
charged with manufacturing is the ab
surd report that the captain of the
German warship at Apia had been
made a-prisoner by the British ami
American commanders of warships.
This story was pronounced simply in
credible. It is remarked by one paper
that reputable journals are beginning
to look with askance upon much of
the matter sent from here by correspondents.
