mtcu VOL. XI THE DALLES, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1899 NO 231 OTIS STILL WAITS FOR REGULARS Until Ttey Arms Ho Jtoessire Oj' leratin Will Be Unlertalej. DEPARTURE , WILL BE RUSHED Lack of Transportation Facilities in the Pacific and Consequent Necessity of Sending Part of the Troops By Way of the Suez Canal the Cause of the Delay. Washington, Jan. 3. General Otis, at Manila, has been notified by cable of the arrangements that have been com pleted to speedily reinforce hia command by the dispatch of six regiments of reg ular infantry. The Twentieth, now at Fort Leavenworth, will sail from San Francieco on the transport Scandia, January 7th, and is timed to reach Ma nila by the end of the month. The force under General Law ton is expected to reach the Philippines the scond week in February. The other regiments selected for garrison duty in the Philippines, the Third and the Twenty-second, will depart from San Francisco aa soon as transports are avail able. The army steamer Senator, which left Manila December 15th with the As tor battery and other troops bound for San Francieco, is due there early In next week, and will be ready to return with either the Third or the Twenty-second regiment five days later. While everything is being done by the war department officials to expedite the departure of the troops in compliance with repeated intimations from General Otis that he is anxious to exchange his volunteers for regulars, it has been found almost impossible to start them much earlier than January 15th, which was the time set when It was first decided two weeks ago to send a portion of the needed force by way of New York on ac count of the lack of transportation facil ities in the Pacific. Until these troops reach the Philip pines it is not believed by the authori ties that General Otis will undertake any aggressive operations for the exten sion of American sovereignty over the various provinces now held by the in surgents, although he has full directions in the matter, but will reserve his forces for use in emergencies, should the in surgents grow unruly, ' particularly in the vicinity oi Manila. Confidence was expressed at the war department that there would be no bat tle at Iloilo until every resource ot peace able negotiation to induce' the rebels to evacuate the city had been exhausted.

When the Al Ki left Skagway no blood had been shed, but trouble was imminent. On reaching Indian river the miners were informed that two men, names un known, had frozen to death on the Yu kon between Fort Selkirk and Dawson. They were guarding a scow load of frozen dressed beef, and perished one excep tionally cold night in November. Several hundred tons of mail for Daw son are blockaded . at Lake Bennett, awaiting ice transportation. The winter has been so open that Lake Bennett re mained unfrozen up to December 23. - In October speculators cornered the butter and tobacco market at Dawson, and since then both articles have been bringing from $2 to 3 a pound.

Stuart Co., Marshall MiJh. La Grippe Successfully Treated. "I have just recovered from the sec ond attack of La Grippe this year," says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, and I think with considerable suc cess, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the former at tack. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy as 1 had to go to bed in about six hours after being 'struck' with it, while in the first case I was able to attend to business about two days before getting 'down.7 For sala by Blakeley & Houghton. Mr. 8. A. Fackler, editor of the Micanopy (Fla.), Hustler, with his wife and children, suffered terribly from La Grippe. One Minnte Cough Cure was the only remedy that helped them. It acted quickly.

AMERICAN RULE WORKS SMOOTHLY Cubans Tell Please! Wift'Htw rai iitims ii Havana. REORGANIZATION UNDER WAY Civil Administration Gets Firmly on Its Feet Autonomists to . Have No Representation in General Brooke's Cabinet. New Yore, Jan. 3. A dispatch to the Tribune, from Havana says : .American rule in Cuba works smoothly. Generals Brooke and Ludlow are beginning the reorganization of the civil administra tion satisfactorily. The Cubans are well pleased. Part of the Spaniards are sul len, but the commercial classes are satis fied with the new regime. The understanding is that no mem bers of the former autonomist cabinet are to be included in General Brooke's proposed council of advisors. They v are all unpopular, and lack confidence of both elements. Civil Governor de Castro, by order of the military authorities, has abolished the use of passports and of stamped paper in the government office. They were annoyances. Prompt steps have also been taken for improving the Bection "of hygiene. The postoffice service for the city and the foreign mail shows' improvement. The confusion still is due to inefficient employes. The demoralization in the island service cannot be remedied im mediately. . Chief Director Eathburne's first order after taking charge was to abolish the frankins privilege, which has been grossly abused. The police service is being slowly or ganized. No general disorder exists. Two or three homicides during the last two days have been of the ordinary kind, and have had no significance. Cubans and Spaniards are getting along together pretty well. Some fears of social demoralization-, of which Americans complain, will be corrected when the police organization is more advanced. The military authorities do not want to use troops for duty of this kind. Bow to Prevent Pneumonia. You are perhaps aware that pneu monia always results from a cold or from an attack of La Grippe. During the epidemic of La Grippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneu monia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or La Grippe to result in that dangerous disease: It is the best remedy in the world for bad colds and La Grippe. Every bottle warranted.

' Deafness Cannot ta Cured '. by local applications, as ' they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and thafta by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining; of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that Cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

Her fate was revea'.cd when a friend, enter ing the house, found her, dead body. One band was pinioned inextricably un der a heavy folding bed. The body was decomposed, showing that death had oc cured several days ago. When found, the woman's broken band was still clasped in the bed as in a blacksmith's vise. . How the' accident happened will never be known definitely. - ' The woman lived alone in the house, and that accounts for the tardy dis covery of the body. La Grippe is again epidemic. Every precaution should be taken to avoid it. Its specific cure is One Minute Cough Cure. A. J. Shepard, publisher Agri cultural Journal and Advertiser, Elden, Mo., says; "No on will be disappoint ed in using One Minute Cough Cure for La Grippe." . Pleasant to take, quick to act.
