Chicago, Aug. 4. The Tribune's spe
cial correspondence from Manila under
dateof June 26, says : The next campaign
can hardly begin sooner than November,
slthongh thecountry may dry up enough
towards the middle of October to permit
the American troops to take the field
then. The American army during the
rainy season can hardly be expected to
do anything more than bold what it has
gained and prepare for the next cam
caiirn. Tho grouud to defeud is not
erv great.
On the south of Manila we have I nine
about fifteen niileB away, where the
Fourth and Fourteenth infantry, with
several guns from the Sixth artillery, are
stationed. This territory was gained
only within the last two weeks by the
bard fighting at Paranaque, at which
even the rattle of the rifles can be heard
in Manila.
Northward the farthest point in the
control of our soldiers in San Fernando,
forty-one miles from Manila, on tho
railroad. The railroad is 149 miles in
length in all, but the insurgents control
all the track between San Fernando and
Dagupan, the northern terminal of the
road. The Americans hold Canadaba
east of Sun Fernando ten miles. They
bold all the towns along the railroad, of
course, to San Fernando and Baliuag,
even miles east of Pulilan.
ReportB continually come from Bali nag
that the town is entirely surrounded by
the enemy and is about to be carried by
ae-ault. But Colonel Page and the Ttiird
infantry have so fur driven the rebels
back with disastrous loss every time
they bare assaulted the town, and he de
clires he can hold it for an indefinite
time, although his position there is by no
means an easy one. Supplies and mail
can only be carried over to Baliuag from
the railroad undor an escort of not less
than 150 men, who are invariably at
ticked somewhere along the road, both
going and com in?.
Heavy shipments of arms are said to
be constantly arriving from Japan and
Australia and, it is said, even from our
own country. Cartridges picked up in
the insurgent trenches bear the trade
nrk of a big manufacturing firm in the
laded Stales. The insurgents have
tbree factories where they manufacture
cartridges and other munitions of war.
If they were kept on the run they would
hsve no time so to equip themselves that
"iey could return after defeat, better
We to fight than they were before.
They are learning things every encoun
ter with the Ameticans. The papers in
Msnila have continually referred to the
'act that the rebels were prone to ehoot
100 high, and they s;emed finally to
hve learned the lesson and now they
re getting their shots well down and
'howing a groat improvement In marks-Htnehip.

Otis to Be Relieved of Much War Duty
aud to Act Rather as a Military
Governor.
New York, Ang. 5. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: It is
understood that the plan of operations
for the fall campaign in tho Philippines
contemplates a division of the islands
into several military departments, and
General Law ton will have command of
the department in which the cavalry
troops will operate. It is probable that
General Wheeler will be given command
of a brigade of cavalry in General Law
ton's department.
The boundary line of Law ton's depart
ment will embrace the territory in which
there will probably be the heaviest fight
ing, so that Lawtcn will be in direct
charge of the most important forces in
the field, and in this way General Otis
while not being officially discredited,
will be relieved of much of the responsi
bility in connection with tho conduct of
the war und will be left free to perform
the duties of military governor.
(secretary Itcot a short experience in
the war department has already con
vinced him that the views of the military
commanders subordinate to General
Otis, who favor a larger military force
than recommended by that officer, are
worthy of serious consideration. There
are reasons to believe he will recommend
that the force be further augmented.
Otis Asks For Guns.
Washington, Aug. 5. General Otis
hxs aekud for a number of Sims-Dudley
guns, Gatlings and Hotchkies Im
pounders for use In the Philippines. All
are rapid-firing guns, and are especially
adapted for the warfare that must be
prosecuted there.

Ask your grocer for Clarke Falk's

Kknnks, France, Aug. it. Itennes has
awakened from its normal condition of
sleepiness, and, with the arrival of hun
dreds of journalists from all parts of the
world and witnesses and other factors
in the Dreyfus drama, the town is
assuming an animated appearance. The
terraces in front of the cafes nre full of
oeople warmly discussing the coming
trial, which will open on Monday morn
ing at 6:30 or 7 o'clock.
General Mercier, who was minister for
war when Dreyfus was condemned, ar
rived from Paris this Afternoon. The
leading tv?nt of the day here was the
arrival of the hero of the Dreyfus affair,
Lieutenant-Colonel George Picquart. As
Colonel Picquart entered the carriage
waiting for him, some spectators
shouted : "Vive Picquart" and "Vive
Dreyfus." These shouts elicited counter
cries of "A bas Picquart" and "A mort,
a 1'eau" from the few anti-Dreyfusites
present. But the bark ol the latter was
worse than their bite, for not the
slightest attempt was made to carry out
the threats, which Colonel Picquart
utterly ignored.
The authorities are apparently becom
ing anxions regarding the maintenance
of tranquility in Kennes during the trial,
owing to the invasion of the town by a
crowd of anti-Dreyfus agitators, and he
roic police measures were taken this
evening to insure peace during two oppo
sition meetings.
Cards of admission to the trial were
issued this afternoon to the representa
tives nf the press. Every two foreign
correspondents, without exception, re
ceived one card between them, which
means that the leading papers of the out
side of France will be able to be repre
sented only every other day.

A WOMAN
THE CAUSE
Of the Uprising of the Yaqui Indians
Caused Trouble Before.
Sr. Locm, Aug. 7. A special to the
Republic from El Paso, Tlx., says:
Santa Teresa, a Mexican woman, who
has lour been revered as a saint by the
natives o' Chihubua and Sonora, and
packed with excursionists were rushing ! w'1" w8 believed to possess the power
to Bar Harhor- The train which left
Bangor at 8 :25 consisted of twelve cars,
jammed with peopla. At Mount Desert
ferry, the terminus of the line, the train
is left for the bout, for an 18-mile ride to
Bar Harbor. From the wharf a slip or
gangplank, 40 feet long and 10 feet
wide ran out to the boat. The slip was
hinged at the inner end and was raised
or lowered to suit the tide. The wharf
extends on both sides, flush with the
end of the wooden gangplank. Five
timbers, 4x12 inches, set vertically, ran
the length of the plank, and these were
crossed by 2-inch planks. It is said that
there was no support for the plank be
tween the hinges at the outer end.
When the excursion train from Bangor
arrived at the ferry there was a rush for
the Steamer Sappho. Hie first few pas- j
sengers had crossed the gangplank safe
ly, and it is estimated that 200 people
were massed on the plank. Suddenly
they felt the plank give way. The long
timber supporting the plank broke in
the middle. The hinges held up one end
and the chain the other, while the
broken ends of the plank dropped, and a
truKgling, screaming mass of humanity
was plunged into the water, fifteen feet
below the wharf. A few clung to the in
clined sides of the plank, but at least 150
were struggling in the water. The piling
of the whsrf partially penned them on
three sides, and the boat lying at the
wharf closed the outer end of the open
ing. After the first moment of stupefaction
the work of rescue began. Ropes and
life preservers were thrown to the
crowd, but in tho panic the people In
the water clutched one another and
many sank in groups in a death grip.
Many were taken from tho water un
conscious and were revived with
difficulty. Doctors were summoned from
all directions, tut it was half an hour
before the firtt arrived. The freight
houso at the ferry was turned into a
morgue, the bodies being taken there for
identification as fast as recovered.
of healing the sick by the laying on of
the hau ls, is believed to be more or less
responsible for the present outbreak
among the Yaqui Indians. After the
Palomas raid a few days ago the Mexican
government made an tffort to apprehend
her as she was looked upon as a danger
ous character. She escaped to El Paso.
About a year ago the woman disappeared
from this locality and it afterwards
turned out she had gone to Sonora and
taken up her abode in the edge of the
Yaqui villages, where she was safe from
molejtation by the Mexican government.

It may be a question whether the

we feel it a duty to say a good word for

used this medicine iu our family lor
twenty years and baye always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering

not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tnat if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Iiemedy was kept on hand

and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
