REBELS FORCED
STEADILY BACK
Four Volunteers Were Killed and
Thirty-five Wounded as a Result of
the Insurgent Fire Heavy Fight
ing Imminent.
Manila, March 29.-7:30 p. m. At
daylight MacArthar'a division advanced
from Manlao along; the railroad to
Bigaa, five miles dietant, with the
Nebraska, South Dakota and Pennsyl
vania regiments 'on the right and
Kansas and Montana regiments and the
Third artillery on the left. Wheaton'i
brigade is in reserve.
The American forces met strong op
position in the jangle. First one Ne
braekan, then one Pennsylvanian, and
afterward two men of the Montana regi
ment were killed. Thirty-five were
wounded, including one officer of the
Kansas regiment.
The rebels burned the villages as they
retreated in bad order toward Malolos.
The enemy also tore up sections of the
railroad in many places, and attempted
toburn the bridge at Bigaa, but the fire
was extinguished owing to the timely
arrival of the Americans.
The rebels had not finished the
trenches along the line ot today's march
showing they were not prepared for our
advance. It is believed, however, tbat
there is to be hard fighting before Ma
lolos is taken.
Resumption of American Advance.
Washington, March 29. The follow
ing from Otis has reached the war de
partment: Manila, March 29. MacArthnr ad
vanced yesterday only to the outskirts of
Manlao, as it took nntil late in the
afternoon to repair the road and railroad
bridges and send cars through with
supplies. The march was resumed at 6
o'clock this morning, the troops moving
rapidly on Bocave, from where they will
continue to Bigaa, seven miles from
Malolos.
The enemy had destroyed the railway
and telegraph line. A construction
train Is following our forces. The
enemy's resistance is not so vigorons to
day. Oar loss thus far is slight. The
towns in front of our advance are being
destroyed by fire. The troops are in ex
cellent spirits. OTIS.
Manila, March 29. Noon The
American army advanced at 6 o'clock
this morning sweeping onward three
miles before 10 o'clock, and driving the
rebels beyond Bocave, -to the east of
Bulacan, and on the railroad leading to
Malolos, The troops met with but
elight resistance. '
The Filippinee fired volleys yesterday
evening for the purpose of -drawing the
American fire and disclosing the locality
of the American positions. Two men of
the Pennsylvania regiment and one
man belonging to the Dakota regiment
were wounded. The Americans re
mained silent.
The country around .Marilao and
' Manila presents a picture of desolation
Smoke is curling from hundreds of ash
heaps, and the remains of trees and
fences torn by shrapnel are to be seen
everywhere. The general appearance of
the country is as if it had been swept
by a cyclone. The roads are strewn with
furniture and clothing dropped in ' their
flight by the FilipinoB.
Bodies of dead Filipinos are stranded

in the shallows of rivers or resting in the
jungle, where they crawled to die or
were left in the wake of the hurriedly
retreating army. These bodies give
forth a horrible odor, but there is no
time at preeent to bury them. The in
habitants who fled from Marilao and
Moycaywayan left in such a panic that
on the tables our soldiers found spread
money and valuables, and in the rooms
were trunks containing other property
of value. This was the case of most of
the houses deserted. They were, not
molested by our eoldiere,' but Chinese,
who slipped between, the armies, are
looting when they can, and have taken
possession of several houses, over which
they have raised Chinese flags, some of
which were torn down.
Deafness Cannot Do Cared.
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. ,Wben this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the reeult, 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 Deafnees (caused by catarrh)

Floods in California.
Stockton, Cal., March 28. Reports
from many sections of the San Joaquin
valley show that the flood caused by the
late heavy rains is increasing instead of
receding, as it was anticipated it would.
Water is still pouring in on the lowlands
but in 8otneplaces the area covered is
not increasable, owing to the depth of
the pockets. In some places the water
is so deep tbat the owners do not expect
to have their land drained before July,
too late for planting a second crop.
There are many small streams in this
section, and it is these that are causing
the ino3t trouble, the larger ones' being
generally high banked. In some places
the floods will be beneficial. It is es
timated that the flooded area covers'
nearly 30,000 acres. -
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Cirtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; ehe
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told her
she was a hopeles victim of consumption
and that' no medicine could cure ber.
Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New
Discovery for consumption ; ehe bought

President Returns to Washington.
Washington, March 28. President
McKinley this afternoon returned to
Washington after an outing of two weeks
and a day. The special train bearing
the president and the members of the
party who have been with him through
out the trip pulled into Pennsylvania
depot here at exactly 5 o'clock this after
noon. Owing to a lack of definite knowl
edge of the exact hour of the return,
there were only a few people gathered
at the depot to witness the arrival. The
train was shifted to a sidetrack outside
the depot, where Acting Secretary of War
Meiklijobn, Adjutant-General Corbin,
t I A '
Secretary Porter and Mrs. Smith were
waiting, and carriages were in readiness.
The party entered the carriages and
drove to their homes, Mr. and Mrs.
McKinley being driven direct to the

tttory of a Slave.
- Te be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. Geo. D. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich., tells bow such a
slave was made free. He says; "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that ehe could nnt tuin over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric. Bitters, ehe is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work."

Philippines Offered to England.
London, March 29. The Birmingham
Post today publisher a report "emanating
from usually very well informed source,"
to the effect that the United States at
the beginning of February proposed to
Sir Julian Pauncefote that Great Britain
take over the Philippine islands upon
certain conditions. It is added that this
feeling has altered greatly since the
heavy fighting, although it is said beyond
doubt the United States would at one
time have been very glad to exchange or
otherwe disburden themselves of the
permanent charge of the islands.
Elegant new Pullman palace sleepers

. Fear a Flood.
La Gbande, March 28. With the ad
vent of the warm weather and the fact
that there is still a large amount of snow
in the mountains, which will probably
go off with the first rain, there is great
danger of a flood of the Grande Eonde
river. A committee of the city will to
morrow examine the levees along the
city front, with a view to strengthening
them and preventing, damage- to city
streets amd property.

RED CROSS
WORK ENLARGED
National Society to bs Reorganize! for
Ttais Pnrjoso.
PLAN IS BEING
FORMULATED
Headquarters is to be Established at
Washington in a Building to be
Erected Especially for the Society.
New York, March 29. The Herald
says that plans are afoot to reorganize
the National Bed Cross Society, with a
view greatly increasing its scope.
Primarily, it is intended to establish
permanent headquarters of the National
Red Cross Society in Washington. The
proposed plan contemplates the erection
of a building at Washington to be
devoted solely to the uses of the society.
The proposed plan does not contem
plate extending the work of reorganiza
tion at present to Cuba, Hawaii or the
Philippine islands. In the United States,
the country will be divided into depart
ments as they now exist. Each depart
ment will be administered by a chief,
who will have control of the territory
under his charge, and who will in turn
be responsible to the executive com mittee'
of the board of directors. It will be the
duty of each chief to so organize his de
partment that local Bed Cross societies
will be within his jurisdicton. These
societies will be responsible to him.
The plan does not contemplate that
any person connected with the society
shall receive pay for services, except the
chief of staff at Washington, and the
clerical and si milei iabor which will be
absolutely necessary to employ.
