Spanish Commissioners Report That
Both Aguioaldo and Sandiko Are
at Malolos-All is Quiet Along the
American Line About Manila Ex
cept for Occasional Firing by Fili
pino Sharpshooters.
Manila, Feb. 27.-4:45 p. m. Two
commissioners who returned from Malo
loa under a flag of truce today report
that 8000 rebels are anxious to surren
der. They also express the belief that
Aguinaldo is inclined ' to accept pacific
overtures.
Spanish Commissioners Rossato and
Bogota were permitted to pass our line
to confer with Aguinaldo in reference to
Spanish prisoners at Malola. They re
turned through the lines this morning
near Calocan with dispatches for tbe
Spaniards. They said Aguinaldo and
Sandiko are both at Malolos.
While the Filipinos are not yet pre
pared to surrender the Spanish prisoners,
they will gladly release two Americans
who have been held for six weeks, on
payment of $30 value of food and cloth
ing furnished them.
Shortly afterwards the rebels sent out
a flag of truce. Bornelli, Commandant
Sintoresedode Lacrue and several hun
dred of the enemy left the Filipinos lines
crying "No querl mas combate los
Americanos roucho buono." The com
mandant said that fully 8000 of his men
bad enough, and were anxious to sur
render. Among the enemy in the jungle many
women and children are visible. A
woman laid down her rifle, and attempt
ed to cross with the parleyers, but she
was sent back. After the parley party
returned to the American lines, the ene
my on the right fired a voiley.the bullets
dropping at their feet.
Manila, Fb. 27, 11 :55 a. m. Except
for an occasional volley and some indi
vidual firing by the rebels from the jun
gle near Calocan, along the river and in
the vicinity of San Pedro Macati, all was
quiet along tbe entire line last night
The enemy's sharpshooters at Calocan
continue to annoy the soldiers in the
daytime, but the Americana no longer
pay much attention to them, reserving
their fire until the rebels appear in the
open in sufficient force to justify a volley
or an occasional shell. During the night
time the men are accustomed to the
enemy's salutesand a majority of them
remain undisturbed, secured by the out- f
posts and sentries.
In Manila absolute quiet prevails ; the
streets are deserted and the only sounds
to be heard after 7 o'clock in the even
ing are the tramp of the patrols and
sentries and the occasional canter of the
hoofs of an officer's horse.

Deafness Cannot Da Cared.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tbe 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 bearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is tbe 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.

Mybtlk Cbeek, Or., Feb. 26. The
freeze of tbe laBt few weeks has damaged
but very little of the early sown grain,
and none of that sown just before the
fieeze. The fruit trees have not been
damaged in tbe least, and the prospects
are for a full crop of fruits of all kinds.
Many driers will be built this year- in
order to handle the crops of the young
orchards just coming into bearing.
How to FreTent Pneumonia.
You are perhaps aware that - pneu
monia always results from a cold or from
an attack of La Grippe. During tbe
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 Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
La Grippa to result in that dangerous
disease. It is the best remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.
Every bottle warranted. For sale by
Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.
Fell Under a Train.
Grant's Pass, Or., Feb. 26. As the
north-bound freight was leaving town
this morning, Walter Cleavland, aged
about 14 years, attempted to swing off
the truss rods of one of the cars. He
miscalculated his step and fell with his
right foot under the wheel, catting it
wide open. It is the opinion of the at
tending surgeon that a part of the foot
can be saved. . ,
The Cebu Expedition.
New York, Feb., 27. A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila, says: The bat
tallion of the Twenty-third ' infantry,
that has sailed on tbe transport Penn
sylvania for the island of Cebu, is com
manded by Major Goodall, with Lieu-
. tenant Goodall, adjutant, and Lieuten
ant McNabb as quartermaster.
An idea of the extent of the loss by
fires in tbe suburbs of Manila since
Wednesday may be obtained from the
figures herewith given : Sixty buildings
. of stone and 150 substantial , wooden
structures with iron roofs were destroyed.
As the season of the year when pneu
monia, la grippe, . sore throat, coughs,
colds, catarrh, bronchitis and lung
troubles are to be guarded agains!,
nothing "is . a fine substitute,". w!'i
"answer the purpose," or is "just as
good" as One Minute Cough Cure. That
is the one infallible remedy for all lung,
throat or bronchial troubles. Insist
vigorously upon having it if "something
else" is offered you. Snipes-Kinersly

much alarm.
PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or anima',
contains within itself the germs of cer
tain dscay and death. .
In tbe human body these germs of
death (called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges
tion of food ; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
Tbe stomach, from abuse, weakens,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (tbe first process of
decay) poisoning tbe blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles;
poisoning tbe brain causing headaches,
pain in tbe eyes.
Bad digestion weakens the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons tbe kidneys,
causing bright's diseaee and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digeetion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lactic
and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro
ducts; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in a pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak stomachs lack. . ,
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form ot. trouble
except cancer of tbe stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents full sized
package or by mail by enclosing price to
Stuart Co., Marshall. Mich., but ask
your druggist- first. A little book on
stomach diseases mailed free. Address

A Letter Written by Him Contained
Statements Objectionable to the
German Government
New York, Feb. 27. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington Kays : As
indicating the friendly purposes of tbe
German government to bring tbe Sa-
moan controversary to a settlement
satisfactory to tbe United States, Herr
Salf, the newly elected president of the
municipal council of Apia, will come to
tbe United States before proceeding to
bis post, to confer with Secretary IHay
and other administration officials. '
Herr Salf will succeed Herr Kafal, who
left Apia February 22 for Berlin, where
be will be compelled to make a report to
bis home government in explanation cf
bis conduct at Apia. Herr Salf is now
on duty in one of the German posses
sions in Africa, and has been instructed
to first proceed to Berlin. ' .
It was stated today that the Samoan
question has never been at a danger
point, as has been reported, but fault
has been displayed on both sides, and
Germany and the United States propose
to take action to restore . order. Herr
Rose will probably - be removed, and
Chief Justice Chambers is expected to
be recalled.
Chief Justice Chambers' recall will
not be due to bis decision or to bis
course, but to tee letter be wrote to bis
brother, which contained statements
objectionable to tbe German govern
ment, which haa been communicated to
the state department, The officials say
that his usefnlness has gone, to some
extent, as the result of his letter, and
Germany has intimated that she would
be pleased if some other person was ap
pointed as bie successor.
Within - ten days it is expected that
reports will be received from the three
consuls fully explaining their acts, and
when these have been considered, action
will be taken by the two governments.
There is one other point which re
mains to be settled by diplomatic nego
tiation. ' Germany will insist that
Mataafa, by reason of the overwhelming
majority he received at tbe election, be
made king, but tbe decision of tbe chief
justice and the protocol of the Berlin
treaty exclude him forever from con
sideration in connection with tbe king
ship. The administration proposes to
support Halietoa Tanue. Great Britain
is similarly inclined, and as a majority
rules, he will probably be established
on the throne.
La Grippe Successfully Treated.
"I have just recovered from tbe 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 tbe former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the us3 of this emedy 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.' "
