ANAHEIM BOY BOLOED; FILIPINO CITY BURNED Swift Retribution of American Troops in Retaliation for the Murder of Charley Baker Outside the Lines. It is three years ago, on May 5, 1898, that John Abbey, then a sergeant in Company L of the Seventh Regiment, was telegraphed to by Captain Finley from Santa Ana to report at the Armory for duty, and to bring over the rifles. All the members of the company residing in Anaheim and vicinity were notified, and all reported. Abbey gathered up the rifles, stored them safely in his buggy, and accompanied by his sister, set out to report to his captain. To his friends who had gathered upon the sidewalk he waved his hand in a farewell salute. The country was afame with the war spirit. For more than two months the country was racked with conflicting emotions relative to the disaster at Havana, when the battleship Maine was destroyed. The Spanish ship Viscaya had visited New York harbor. Hostile demonstrations were making against Americans in Cuba. Spain had asked for the recall of Consul-General Lee, which the United States had refused. The War Department had begun the mobilization of the army. The Oregon had sailed from San Francisco upon its memorable voyage, to take part in the subsequent defeat of Cervera. But a few days thereafter Spain gave Minister Woodford his passports, this being tantamount to a declaration of war. The glorious news of Dewey's destruction of Montojo's fleet at Manila then rang in the nation's ears. The American squadron was tightening its cordon around the Cuban blockade. Cervera was at the Cape Verde islands. John Abbey touched up the old nag, and was soon disappearing down the street, the eyes of his friends following him. The most stirring pages of history have been written since that May day morning. Spain has been humbled, and the United States stands out as the most powerful nation in the world. A day or two ago Abbey returned to his home, to meet with his friends and kindred, to stand beside the grave of those who lost their lives in his absence had passed. TWO NIGHT ATTACKS BY FILIPINO SAVAGES. Six Americans Disperse 150 Natives. Who Leave 17 Dead and 38 Rifles on the Field. Sheldon Littlefield returned some days ago from the Philippines, after an absence of two years, during which time he was a member of Company A, Thirty-fifth infantry. He enlisted as a private, but before the regiment sailed from Portland, he was promoted to be corporal and company clerk. He was also acting first sergeant of the company. He was subsequently promoted to the position of regimental quartermaster sergeant, and had charge of all the property of the regiment. He kept account of all the money expended, which ranged from $35,000 to $40,000 per month. The blacksmith shop, saddlery shop, the horses and feed were under his immediate control. For two months before securing the appointment he was engaged in straightening out the books and accounts of the office, which had been permitted to get in tangled shape. Littlefield participated in the engagement at San Miguel, the regiment being in command of Gen. Lawton. A few days after the fight, Lawton, having assumed command of another regiment, was killed while in action. While in charge of regimental property at Balluag, the force of six men was twice attacked at night by a force estimated at 150 insurrectos. The boys were asleep at the time. The natives knowing valuable stores were in charge of the small garrison attempted to capture them. They began firing from behind a corral, and several shots entered the house in which the garrison was quartered. The boys turned out on the double quick, and although the garrison consisted of only six men, they succeeded in killing 17 Filipinos, and captured 38 guns. The Filipinos retired, but owing to the limited number of Americans, the latter could not charge them, being required first to protect the property under their control. The boys sent a volley after the retreating Filipinos. ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL CENSUS A Gain of 159 During the Year—Fullerton Gains—Garden Grove Loses.

Spain has been humbled, and the United States stands out as the most powerful nation in the world. A day or two ago Abbey returned to his home, to meet with his friends and kindred, to stand beside the grave of one who in his absence had passed away. Abbey remained at the Presidio with his regiment during the summer of 1898, and when mustered out of service, enlisted with the Thirty-fifth regiment and saw two years of service in the Philippines. He served at different times under Generals Lawton, Grant and Funston. The regiment left Portland October 4, 1899, and arrived at Manila November 6th. Two days thereafter, on November 8th, the regiment went out to San Fernando, where it was stationed several weeks. It was mobilized December 10th, at San Miguel, under command of Major-General Lawton. Lawton had under his command the Thirty-fifth regiment, a battery of light artillery, a troop of the Third cavalry, all from the south. From the north there were mobilized the Third and Sixteenth regiments, three troops of the Fourth cavalry, Battery G of light artillery and two companies of Maccabebe scouts. The regiment participated in the taking of San Miguel, a city of 22,000 population, on November 11th. Only a slight skirmish was necessary, and the Americans, dispersing the Filipinos, marched triumphantly into the city. At San Ildefonso the regiment saw heavy fighting. It encountered some 400 entrenched insurgents. The enemy was routed. Here General Lawton left the regiment. Two days later he met death at San Mateo. The regiment, now under command of Gen. Grant, took charge of the province of Bulacan. Here it remained until relieved, on the 2d of March. In September, Abbey participated in an engagement at Acele, in which 100 Americans attacked 300 insurgents. Fighting lasted two hours. Here Capt. Schreiber wounded in the left lung. He was the only American wounded. Thirteen of the enemy were killed, and twenty wounded. Eight rifles were captured. Headquarters were maintained at San Miguel, which on October 13th, was attacked by natives. The regiment was now under command of Gen. Funston. The attacking force was composed of 600 insurgents. The natives were routed with heavy loss. Here occurred an incident which is deeply graven upon the memory of the members of Company A. Charley Baker, who used to live in Schreiber was wounded in the left lung. He was the only American wounded. Thirteen of the enemy were killed, and twenty wounded. Eight rifles were captured. Headquarters were maintained at San Miguel, which on October 13th, was attacked by natives. The regiment was now under command of Gen. Funston. The attacking force was composed of 600 insurgents. The natives were routed with heavy loss. Here occurred an incident which is deeply graven upon the memory of the members of Company A. Charley Baker, who used to live in Anaheim, ventured beyond the outposts, and was boloed by the insurgents, being literally stabbed to death. His body was recovered. In retaliation for this outrage, the city was burned by the American troops. The regiment was relieved March 2d of this year. It proceeded to Manila and boarded the transport Thomas on the 14th. It left on the 16th, going by way of Nagasaki. It arrived at San Francisco April 14th, and was mustered out May 2d. Abbey looks well after his two years of campaigning. He says the islands will in time offer inducements for American labor as well as capital. However, until such time as the country is entirely pacified he would not advise people to emigrate there. He does not think the capture of Aguinaldo will end it all. In fact, he believes Gen. Luna has been at the head of the insurrectionary forces for over a year, during which time Aguinaldo has been practically a fugitive in the hills of Northern Luzon. Last season the islands had 168 inches of rain. The boys frequently marched ankle deep in mud, but were treated as well as they could expect. "Those thirteen fellows whom you killed at Acile—did you bury them?" asked the reporter. Abby shook his head. "We never thought of that? "he said". We hiked after the other fellows to see if we couldn't add to the list. On the transport with Abby were Capt. Halpin and Mathews, and Sheldon Littlefield, along with a number of Santa Ana and Orange boys. Mrs. Dolley L. Schenck—E of NW of Sec. 4-4-11, 56 acres; value $4000. Homestead. W. G.

My wife was standing about six feet from the fence at the time and at report of the gun she fell without word and I brought her home in buggy." Dectective Auble, who has visited the scene of the tragedy and carefully examined the surroundings, declares that if the gun had been discharged while Winters was in a stooping position, as he relates, and his wife saw away, the shot would have entered woman's head or neck or passed hastily over her head, and that, in case its range would have been ward. The autopsy showed that shot took a downward course at angle of forty-five degrees. While the woman was lying dead her home on Workman street, Win called on Ed Ingraham, a barter with whom he had left the insurance policy on his wife's life, and not him that he would need it. He called on the insurance company consulted with them in regard to payment of the policy. Detectives working on the theory that the band committed a murder. Newport Railroad.
