MAKE NIGHT ATTACKS.
Filipino Rebels Becoming Very Annoying of Late.
KEEPING OUR MEN IN TRENCHES.
Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Utah Volunteers Start for Home—-A Civil Government to Be Established at Las Pinas By the Philippine Commissioners.
MANILA, July 3.—The Filipino rebels continue their work of digging entrenchments in the neighborhood of San Fernando. They make attacks on our lines at night time and are keeping our soldiers constantly in the trenches, thus being more annoying than dangerous. In the last demonstration one man of the Seventeenth infantry was killed and three others wounded. The rebels continue to cut the wires, putting a stop to communication, but firing in the distance indicates growing activity on the part of the enemy.
The rain has fallen almost continuously for nine days. It has been a tremendous downpour and the whole country is flooded. The trenches at San Fernando are ditches of water and the mud is knee deep in the camps at several of the outlying posts. Some of the permanent camps have been made fairly comfortable by the erection of bamboo shelters, roofed and floored.
According to the latest reports from the province of Cavite, the insurgent leaders there are quarreling. Aguinaldo's cousin, Baldomero Aguinaldo, has been killed or imprisoned by General Mariana Trias, commander of the insurgents in the southern district of Luzon and most of his men have deserted to Trias, who is now at San Francisco de Malibon.
The transport Hancock sailed for San Francisco with the First Nebraska infantry and Batteries A and B of the Utah light artillery on board. Both of these bodies of troops reached Cavite with the second expedition in July, 1898, and both have seen the severest service of the insurrection. The Nebraskans have had 29 engagements. Thirty-nine of the men of the regiment were killed in action, 166 wounded, 33 died of disease and 842 are going home.
General Lawton, Colonel Denby and Professor Worcester of the American Philippine commission are visiting Las Pinas with the object of appointing mayors and beginning the establishment of civil government in the captured cities of the Cavite province.

WOULD BE NEUTRAL.
Sentiment of the People of the Southern Philippine Islands.
MANILA, July 3.—Professor J. G. Schurman of the United States advisory commission for the Philippines, returned to Manila from a three-weeks' tour of the Southern islands. He takes an entirely hopeful view of the general conditions there. The intelligent and substantial citizens desire American protection. The masses are awaiting the settlement of the war in the island of Luzon before declaring themselves. They are chiefly anxious to be undisturbed. The president of the town of Santo Nicolas, in the island of Cebu, said to Mr. Schurman: "We want peace, food and prosperity. We do not wish to fight. We would be neutral."
The president of the commission thinks that this declaration fairly expresses the sentiments of the people in the Southern islands of the archipelago. Many of the towns there are in the hands of small bands of Tagalos and the people fear to indorse American rule, until they are certain that Aguinaldo must be beaten. Let them once be convinced of this and the allegiance of the Southern Islands, Mr. Schurman thinks, can be secured by diplomacy.
ROOSEVELT WILL SPEAK.
Great Fourth of July Celebration at Oyster Bay.
OYSTER BAY, L. I., July 3.—Governor Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of his fellow townsmen to deliver an oration to-morrow at 4 P. M. A stand is being erected in Audrey park, opposite the railroad station, where the exercises are to be held and public and private buildings are being covered with flags and bunting. It will probably be the most imposing Fourth of July celebration ever held in Oyster Bay.
IN THE MINOR COURTS.
Saturday's Ball Game Cost Fay Woodworth $2—Other Cases.
Fred Graham, formerly of Cortland, who has of late been employed in Syracuse, came to Cortland Saturday night pretty well loaded with firewater, and was gathered in by Officer Nix. In police court this morning he pleaded guilty to the charge of public intoxication, and was given a sentence of six months in Onondaga penitentiary. Sentence was suspended on condition that he agree not to present himself in Cortland during the next six months. He was warned by the justice that if he shows up in Cortland during that time, drunk or sober, be will be arrested, and the sentence will be carried out.
M. M. Lathrop appeared before Justice Harrington this morning and swore out a warrant for the arrest of his son, Jesse Lathrop, on the charge of assault in the third degree. He alleges that the affair took place Sunday. The young man is employed on a farm west of Cortland and was arrested by Constable Edwards. When arraigned he was accompanied by Attorney B. T. Wright. He pleaded not guilty and the case was adjourned until July 10 at 9 A. M.
On Saturday, Officer Smith arrested Fay Woodworth, a lad of 19 years, under section 407 of the penal code on the charge of unlawful intrusion.

MR. MCGRAW IS CONFIDENT
That Cortland Will Win the State Baseball Championship.
We have received the following letter which explains itself:
To The Editor of The STANDARD:
MCGRAW, N. Y., July 1, 1899.
SIR—The question has been asked me why I showed my appreciation of the baseball nine of Cortland so soon; it made the boys big headed. In answer I would say that I am not at all sure of this fact, because upon meeting them personally they convinced me that they are well worthy of trust, and I am confident they will be the state champions this season, and know that what I have done for them will only make them the more desirous of gaining the appreciation of all. They beat the Romans on their own ground and can do it again. Cheer up. Do not think them unworthy of our loyal support.
A. P. MCGRAW.
TROUNCED UTICA AGAIN.
TWO PITCHERS DONE UP IN SATURDAY'S GAME.
Cortland Won it by Good Stick Work—Rome Beat Binghamton, Albany Beat Oswego and Auburn Beat Schenectady—Utica Got a Game Sunday from Oswego and Rome Beat Auburn.
Cortland won from Utica Saturday at Athletic field in a heavy slugging match. Cloonin, who began on the rubber for Cortland, was hit hard in three innings, when eleven hits for seventeen base's gave Utica eight runs. Mullin went in in the fourth, and spoiled the visitors' sport by letting them down with four little singles and no runs. Cortland made two hits in each of the first four innings, but was unable to score. In the fifth they got after Viau for three singles, and these aided by a base on balls and an error gave three runs. Viau, who had a bad case of expansion in the head and "chinned" with the spectators, was put out of the business in the sixth when six runs were scored on singles by Ketchum, Lawlor, Nelson and Mullin, a double by Burmingham, a triple by Daley and two bases on balls. Mills succeeded Viau in the seventh, and it took two innings for the Cortlands to get acquainted, but in the ninth they scored three times on a batsman hit by a pitched ball, two singles, a double and an error.
The score:
Field Day Events at the Fair Grounds.
There is every indication of a crowd at the Y. M. C. A. field day races to-morrow afternoon at the driving park. The official program is being distributed through the business portion of the town this afternoon and displays an attractive list of events. Probably the most exciting event will be the finish before the judge's stand of the fifteen-mile road race to Little York and return. The crowd will probably watch the ball game in the morning, take in the field day at the driving park in the afternoon and watch the fireworks at Cortland park in the evening.
Evidence of Being Up-to-date.
Cramer & Hollister have just completed a fine job of plumbing at the Cortland House, where they have put in a new bathroom and toilet apparatus on the second floor. The Cortland House is up-to-date in every respect.
Carryalls Shipped from Cortland.
The Ellis Omnibus & Cab Co. are today shipping one of their fourteen-passenger carryalls to hotel Evans at Hot Springs, S. D. This carryall is merely lettered "Plunge Bath." Hotel Evans is one of the largest hotels in the state, and is owned by the Iowa Land Co., and is managed by Mr. H. D. Clark.
Last week this company sent to a large transfer company in the city of Mexico, one of their twenty-four passenger carettes. This carette went by the all rail route, and the freight and duty on the curette is over seven hundred dollars of Mexican money.
JONES-SOULE.
Former Cortland Young Man Wins a Bride in the Wooden Nutmeg State.
The Stamford, Ct., Advocate of June 30 contains the following account of the wedding of Mr. Frank O. Jones, a former resident of Cortland, and a graduate of the Normal in the class of '92:
Last evening at a quarter before 8 o'clock, in the First Presbyterian church, Miss Eva Linnette Soule, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Soule, was married to Frank Oscar Jones of East Bridgewater, Mass.
The bride was attended by her sister, Mrs. Arthur D. Call of Holliston, Mass., as matron of honor; Miss Cynthia Dixon of Stamford, Miss Julia Miles of Peoria, Ill.; Miss Louise Kinne of Paterson, N. J., and Miss Susan Gardner of New London, as bridesmaids.
The ushers were Dr. Ira B. Stillson of Glenbrook, Herbert S. Miller of Stamford, Archibald L. Bouton, a professor at the university of New York; Edwin A. Locke of Whitman, Mass.; Albert O. Foster New York, and S. Alfred Kiersted of Kingston, N. Y. The best man was Arthur D. Call of Holliston, Mass.
While the guests were being seated in the church, the following musical program was rendered by the organist of the Presbyterian church, William E. Brown: Grand Processional March from "Queen of Sheba" by Gounod; Caprice in F and Gavotte Antique by Ashwall; overture, "Stradella," by Flotow; "Spring Song" by Mendelssohn; "Serenata " by Moskowski; "Gavotte" from "Mignon" by Thomas and "Serenada" by Gounod.
Promptly at a quarter before 8 the bridal procession formed, and proceeded up the center aisle, while the organist played the Bridal March from Lohengrin. First entered the six ushers, then the four bridesmaids and the matron of honor, followed by the bride, leaning on the arm of her father.
The bride met the groom and his best man at the altar, where the marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. P. H. Vail, D. D.
During the ceremony the Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana," by Mascagni, was softly rendered by Mr. Brown.
The bride was given away by her father, and at the close of the ceremony, while Mendelssohn's wedding march was played and the wedding bells rang out, the bride and groom led the way from the altar down the aisle, followed by the matron of honor, the best man, the bridesmaid and the ushers.
The bride, who is a very pretty, petite brunette, was attired in a gown of ivory satin, with demi-train, the bodice of which was trimmed with point appliqué lace and chiffon. Her tulle veil was fastened with white blossoms, and she carried a bouquet of bride roses.
The gown of the matron of honor was white satin, trimmed with lace and chiffon, and she carried pink roses.
The four bridesmaids were becomingly attired in white Point d' Esprit over white taffeta silk, trimmed with lace insertion and white satin ribbon, with sashes and bows of pink satin. They carried shower bouquets of maidenhair fern and white sweetpeas.
The church was handsomely decorated with daisies and ferns about the altar and choir railing. Palms were banked below and within the railing.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Soule on Prospect-st., an informal reception was held, and the newly wedded couple were greeted by their friends and relatives.
Mrs. Jones is a charming young woman, who has many friends at Stamford. She is a graduate of Wells of the class of '97. Three of her bridesmaids—Miss Miles, Miss Kinne and Miss Gardner—were college friends.
Frank Oscar Jones was at one time a teacher at Betts academy this city. He is now superintendent of schools in East and West Bridgewater and Raynham, Mass.
Many very handsome presents were received by the bride.
After a wedding trip of four weeks, Mr. and Mrs. Jones will return to Stamford for a short visit to the bride's parents, on Prospect-st., after which they will reside in East Bridgewater.
