ARRIVAL OF
- THE ST. PAUL
Miller's Artillery Found in Action and
His Troops Advancing Into the
Jungle to Prevent an Attack on
the Town.
New York, March 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from Baacolood, island of
Negros, under date of March 1, says:
After a pleasant voyage, the St. Paul,
carrying the deputation from Negros,
Colonel Jamea F. Smith, the first Amer
ican governor, and the first batalhon of
the California regiment, Major Si noes
commanding, arrived at Iloilo on March
3. As the vessel entered the harbor at
midday it found the artillery in action
and General Miller's command advanc
ing into the cocoanut plantations at the
right of the line.
' General Miller, fearing an organized
and strong attack upon the town, had
requested assistance from the Boston in
landing. Captain Wfiite was unable to
accede to this request owing to the fact
that a portion of the crew was at Cebu.
It was at first expected that the Call
f ornians would land and assist General
Miller's forces, but on landing the Her-
aid correspondent met General Miller
returning from the front and learned
that it was only a false alarm.
Iloilo was terribly wrecked by the in
surgent incendiaries and presents a
scene of havoc and desolation. Magnifi
cent residences and great warehouses
were totally wrecked.
General. Miller and his staff are con
fident they can hold the town. The in
surgent strength is not definitely known,
but it is believed that the re are 20C0
men 'armed with firearms and 2000 arm
ed with bolas. They follow similar tac
tics to inoee at Aiamia, dropping irri
tatmg shots into . the American lines
throughout the night, but never appear
ingin sufficient strength to: justify a
resolute forward movement, - Few casu
alties are reported.
The St. Paul proceeded to Baacolood,
and arrived at noon today.- The Ameri
cans found a native guard of honor
drawn up on the beach. The inhabi
tants were amicably' disposed. The
American flair war already fl vine from
an unfinished convent. '.

Manila, March 10. 5 p. m. The re
mains of Colonel W. B. Smith, Major
E. McConville, Captain David S. Elliott
and Second Lieutenant Eugene. French,
who were killed in action, were shipped
home today by the United States trans
port Scandia, with military honors, the
Second Oregon volunteers furnishing the
escort through the city. A battalion of
the Twenty-second infantry has rein
forced General Wheaton's brigade.

some features or the government oi
Cuba. It is probable that the military
government will, to a certain extent, be
replaced by a civil government. .The
head of the government mnst, of course,
remain military, bat the plan in con
templation is to have civil officers in
place of military men in the cabinet
and subordinate positions.
It is believed that experts in different
lines, such as finance and revenue and
the management of the general business
of theisland and of the different munici
palities will get along more smoothly
than the army officers.
It is not known whether the contem
plated change . has reached a 'point
further than diecuesion in the war de
partment and with the president, but its
advantages Lave been pointed out and
the authority of government to establish
such a civil government under control of
the military government has been deter
mined
TALMAGE RESIGNS
; HIS POSITION
Will Not Continue His Pastorate in
Washington.
Washington, March 9. Rev. Dr. T.
Dewitt Talmage, who for nearly four
years has been pastor of the First Pres
byterian church of this city, today sent
a letter to the session of that church,
tendering his resignation. The explana
tion made in the letter is as follows :
. "The increasing demands made upon
me by religious journalism and con
tinuous calls for more general work in
the cities have of late years caused fre
quent interruptions of my pastorate
work. It is not right that this condition
of affairs should further continue."

Kipling Wants Josephine.
New York, March 10. The Tribune
says: For two days Mr. Kipling has
made repeated inquiries for bis children.
He asks the nurse and Dr. Dunham
when be may see them , and is particularly-anxious
to see Joeephine, the little
one who died. ' His nurse finds it very
difficult to invent some new excuse to
gain time. The father seems to have
some inkling that something is wrong,
and his continually repeated requests for
Josephine are most pathetic Of course
the news will not be told him until he
has recovered, if it is possible to keep
him in ignorance ot his ereat loss.

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 so many casss 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 beet remedy in the
world for bad colds and La Grippe.
Every bottle warranted. For sale by
Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.
Chicago, - March 10. A special to
the Times-Herald from . Washington
says : There is grave danger of an
armed collision between the American
and. Canadian miners in the' Porcupine
creek region, over the Alaskan boundary
question.
Despite the fact that the location of
the boundary has been determined be
yond any reasonable doubt, the Cana
dians have encroached six miles or more
on the American side, where they claim
the right to stake' claims and search for
gold and deny the same right to the
Americans. '" .
Joe Americans have threatened to ex
pel the Canadians by force, and it is
feared that a conflict may be brought on.
The eituation is so 'serious that -upon
information contained in a letter from
Governor Brady, of Alaska, to the sec
retary of the interior, the secretary of
state has called the attention of the
British government to the actions of
the Canadians and has asked to have
them recalled to their own territorv.

There is only one way to cure deaf ness
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
unless the inflammation .can betaken
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.

Reappointment Necessary, j
- Washikgton, March 9. No .action
has been taken looking to appointing a
postmaster at The Dalles since the ad
journment of 'congress. This office will
prpbably be filled by the president' by
recess appointment, in which event the
present incumbent, J. A.- Croseen, will
be relieved. Until then he continues in
office. The appointment lies wholly with
the president, and H. H. Riddel, whose
name was lent to congress, having , the
backing of the entire delegation, will
probably be named." "
