Mindanao also is tranquil, except the

The surrenders, although they have
noticeably decreased since Msy,continue.
The experience of Northern Luzon
show that the American occupation of
any locality tenda to iU pacification and

Nevertheless, the import for the last
quarter and a half were greater than
during any period of the (Spanish regime.
No doubt, the neels of the army of occu
pation are responsible for a very consid
erable portion of this Tear. The inter
nal revenue collection! are a third
greater made by Spain. This is due
to aa honest system of accounts, to
a lack of favoritism and to impartial
enforcement of tbe law. Tbe military

believed that they are preparing for fight.
The general opinion is that the war is
now very near the end, but, should that
Boert construct strongholds in the both,
on the veldt, or elaewhere, and begin
aystem of rsidt, the British would reqair
a further large aupply of horset.
General Buller moved 14 milea north
westward along tbe Lydeoburg road and
croeaed Crotkodile river to Bsdenfontelrj
and found the Boert concentrating in tbe
Crocodile mountains.
A forced Boera under Commandant
Theron broke through tbe British llfcee
and captured and burned a supply train
at Kip River station, taking 35 prisoners.
Brabant's Horse proceeded thither, re
csptured all the prisoners and drove the
Boers into the bills.

From Court
House,
Smituaiuiuui B.iwi.111 in I
Mamla, Sept. 2. The Filipinos seem
incapable of realizing the scope and pur
pose of the legislative functions of the
Commission of Peace. There is no pos
sibility of separating the leginUtive from
the executive branches of the Govern
ment, and, therefore, the commission's
announcement of power haa met with
childith comments at the hands of the
Spaniards and foreigners, who sneer st
the new arrangements, aa they are apt
to do, at every beneficial Innovation on
the part of the United Slates authorities.
The com miction enters upon the gov
ernmental field under the following con
ditions : A majority of the islanders de
sire peace and the resumption of busi
ness under Americsn rule, but they are
so cowed by a long series of murderous
atrocities and deotruction of property by
their armed countrymen, that they dare
not actively bIiow their feelings, especi
ally because experience has taught them
what such an expression of sentiment
will bring uuon them from the merci
lessly revengeful rebels. A genuine
reign of terror is exercised by insurgents
snd ladrones over peaceful country folk
in order to collect the revenues and re
cruits their operations require, and wide
spread vengtuice is wreaked In the vicin
ity of garrisoned towns. For example,
the insurgent General Cailles, in the
Province of Laguna, put lo death the
President and officuholdera of the town
of Bay, officials who had been installed
by the Americans, and gave orders that
a similar fate should be meted out to
other adheranta of the American cause.
He also ordered that all Filipino soldiers
who sold their rifles to the Americans
should be killed.
Any change of policy involving the
withdrawal of the United States troops
without substituting for them an ado
quate defensive force is certain to result
in fear of retaliation at the expense of
the "friendlies." The approaching re-
turn of the volunteers tends to influence
the situation unfavorably. In Northern
Luzon the satus quo is fairly well main
tained and the people In that quarter at e
quiet and engaged in planting, except iu
the Provinces of Nueva Eclja and Suit
can, where there has been a recent out
burst of rebel and ladrone activity. But
in Southern Luzon conditions are far
less satisfactory. Life there is not safe
outside the garrisoned towns. Travel
ers are subject to ambush by guerrillas.
Rarely does a day pass without an en
counter between the United States
in tbe civil and criminal codes, passing
in due time, to other feature of ita in
structions, with the idea of establishing
a central civil government daring tbe
next 18 month.
Twelve Americana, including two cap
tains and two lieuVnantt, bave been
killed during tbe past two weeks. Tbe
official reports of tbe encounter in which
these casuslties occurred are meager.

Lomdok, Sept. 6. No official pro

regard to the decision of ihe powers con

ion continue suggestive of s compromise
on the proposals now under considers

authoritative indication that tbe dowager

Baking Powder
The strongest, purest, most efficient and
wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest
in price, yet the most economical ; indispens
able to all who appreciate the best and most
healthful food.
Our country is enjoying prosperity almost
unsurpassed in its history.
For every one there is money enough to
buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good,
wholesome.
Why should we use cheap, impure, un
healthful articles of food? There is no
economy in them ; they endanger the health,
they may cost life. There are reported
almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat
ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the
cheap, alum baking powders.
In all articles for food buy and use only
the best. The good health of the family is
of first consideration.
Alum is used in many baking powders because it makes
them cheap. It costs less than two cents a pound.
Alum is a corrosive poison. Think of ft-edinR it to chil
dren ! Yet the manufacturers of wll-kiiown alum,
powders are actually denying that their goods contain it,
