WAITING FOR
ANOTHER ATTACK
Dewey's Latest Cable Indicates a Coming

ADVANCE TO

But the Admiral and General Otis Have
the Situation Well in Hand Forty
Dead and 150 Wounded.
Washington, Feb. 6. The following
cable was received from Admiral Dewey
today:
"Manila, Feb. 6. The, insurgents
have attacked Manila. Tne Boston
leaves today for Iloila to relieve the Bal
timore, which will return to Manila.
Two men wounded yesterday on the
Monadnock, one ot them seriously. "
It is believed this cable left Manila
more than twelve hoars later than any
that has heretofore been published, and
the war department officials understand
from it that the insurgents have again
attacked Manila . in force and are pur
suing an aggressive policy, having
brought up their forces from the ..rear
Nobody at the department, however
feels greatly alarmed over it.

the First Tennessee, dropped dead dar

Effect of the Outbreak in the Philippine
Islands Quickly Made Apparent in
the Upper House of Congress.
Washington, Feb. 6. Naval officers
are satisfied that Dewey means that the
scene of insurgent attack has been trans
ferred from the outposts to the city itself
He has twentv-one vessels from which
he can land 1500 seasoned riflemen if
General Otis needs them. He can also
land rapid fire Gatling-Msxim guns
with their well-drilled crews.
His smaller gunboats can ascend the
Paeig river and penetrate the insurgent
lines.
The exchange of the Boston and Bal
timore is thought to indicate that Dewey
considers the situation serious, as the
Boston's machinery is not in good con
dition ; moreover, the Baltimore has a
large landing force and a greater rapid
fire battery.
The emphatic couyiction is expressed
that the insurgents easily can be beaten
back .
A prominent government . official is
authority for the statement that German
agencies largely supplied the insurgents
with arms. He said that 3000 stands
of arms were secured in Hong Kong for
Aguinaldp by a German firm, and that
the German consular agent there ..was
instrumental in effecting their pur
chase. . " " "
Literally Blown to Pieces.
Manila: Feb. 6. The First California
was also subjected to severe fire from j
huts along the road, which were swarm
ing with Filipinos. The Californians
set fire to the village and destroyed it.
The elaughter of the insurgents north
of the city by quick firing guns, the gun
boat Callao's 6-inch guns, the gunboat
Concord, and 8-inch shells from the
cruiser Charleston, was particularly
heavy.
The Filipinos had massed along the
beach, where they had been driven by
General Otis' brigade, and hundreds of'
them were literally torn to pieces by the
terrible rain of shells from the warships.
Sunday afternoon the : Charleston
joined the Monadnock off Malate and
the two sent in shell after shell with
murderous effect on the insurgents, who
were falling back' from the steady ad
vance of the Fourteenth infantry.
. The American troops commanded the
river front along the Paeig, while the
captured Spanish gunboat . Laguna from
the bay swept the rice fields along the
river banks, fairly riddling the village of
Santa Ann with gatling guns. ' .
Nearly all the native huts on the out
skirts of rtie city are flying white flags
of truce. The enemy is still retreating, 1
the American troops on the north of
Manila following them np. They have
now nearly reached Calocan, while on
the south the Americans have advanced
to a point near Pasay.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it tbink their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be , looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the symptoms of stom
ach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows
itself not in the stomach eo much as in
nearlv every organ. In some cases the

Washington, Feb. 6. When the sen
ate convened today the galleries were
packed and probably a thousand persons
were turned away, all anxious to hear
the final debate on the treaty. Allen's
resolution demanding the same treat
ment of Filipinos as bad been accorded
Cubans was called np and Allen began
his speech. He stated at the oateet that
he would vote for the ratification of the
treaty. He disclaimed that he repre
sented Bryan in the position be had
taken on the question. After explain
ing that ratification of the treaty and
territorial expansion were two different
things.
Allen eulogized the American soldiers
and sailors at Manila and referred to the
light between the Americans and
Filipinos as an additional argument for
ratifying the treaty.

How 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 bo many cases resulted in pneu
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy 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.

Deafness Cannot De Curert
by local applications, as . they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is 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
unleBS the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine casds 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. '

would have been equally as bad as the
