Manila, March 16. 5:55 p. no. The
first battalion of the Twentieth infantry
regiment has advanced from Pasig,
clearing the country to Cainti, a well
defended village of 700 inhabitants, five
. miles northwest of the foothills.
The troops first encountered the rebel
ontpoet in the dense jangle on the bank
of the river. The enemy was dislodged
after half an hour's fighting. The
Americans advanced in splendid man
ner, under heavy fire, until they ware
ready to volley the rebels from the
trenches. The latter had a great ad
vantage, and dropped a number of our
men. The Americans charged across
the rice fields, making four -advances on
the enemy, who numbered 1000 men,
-500 of whom were entrenched, and in
the face of a cross fire.
Our troops carried the town after four
hours of fighting and burned the out
skirts, the rebels firing from the win
dows and keeping np a running fire in
. the streets. The Americans then with
drew to obtain more ammunition.
The rebels lost about 100 men and the
American loss was two killed and twelve
wounded.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLE.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex
citement and worry of American busi
ness life, it is more often tbe result of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable ; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The cIobo relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way, also the heart is ef
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in tbe chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action ; hence arieea
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons tbe blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri
tates and weakens the heart.
The moBt sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve tbe digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form.
' It is safe to say that tbe regular per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. . .
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little
book on etomach troubles mailed free.

How to Frevcot 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 cages 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 tbe best remedy in the
world . for bad colds and La Grippe.

of the Columbia, in the northern part of
the country are already lambing, and the

weather does not get wramer so that

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 the result, and
unless tbe inflammation can be taken
out and this tnbe restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine ca&es 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)

La Urlppe Successfully Treated.
"I have just recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe this year," Bays
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader,' Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
caee 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 bra for the nee of this eraedy as 1
bad to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with jt, whiie in the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

RIOTS AND STRIKES
IN COLORADO
Troops Sect Out ta Repress Striters
' at Hem.
SITUATION IS
VERY CRITICAL
Indians are in Full Coutrol of the
Camp, Which They Threaten to
Burn Troops Cannot Reach the
Scene Until Tomorrow.
Denver, March 16. Rioting at Hen
son, near Lake City, broke out last night,
and the sheriff of Hinsdale county wired
the governor for troops. The message
came about 1 :30 this morning. The
sheriff bad' just returned from Henson.
and said the situation was extremely
critical, and that the strikers were in
control of the place and threatened to
burn everything in tbe camp. . A red
glare in the sky a few minutes after tbe
sheriff lefc the camp indicated that the
threat was being carried out.
The message to Governor Thomas
asked for at least 150 men, and tbe gov
ernor decided to grant the request at
once. Company B, First infantry, and
troops B and C of the calvary under
Captains Smith and Hill were summoned
to be in readiness to leave at 5 o'clock
this morning. Colonel MacArey com
manded tbe troops.
A stop was made at Pueblo this morn
ing for thirty men of company B, Second
infantry, at that place, and it is likely
the run to Lake City will be made by 5
o'clock tonight. The snows on Marshall
Pass may delay tbe time a little, but the
men will be in readiness to leave for
Henson by conveyances during tbe early
night, and be prepared to take charge of
the situation at daylight.
As the roads winds through a narrow
canyon for most of the distance the
troops will depend upon the Lake City
people to prevent ambushing, for at
some places it would be possible for a few
men to hold the entire attacking force at
bay, especially aa the snow and ice on
the gorge are so that detours over the
sides of tbe hills are impossible.
Lake City, Col., March 16. The Ital
ian strikers did not attempt to burn the
mining camp, as was feared, last night.
Quiet prevails taday. The troops en
route from Denver and Pueblo are ex
pected to reach Lake City tomorrow
morning.
