pedition Will Press Westward.
Maniia, Ar 1 10, 6:30 a. m. General
Law ton has captured Santa Cruz, at the
extreme end of the lake, and driven the
rebels, who were commanded by a China
man named Pao Wab, into the mount
ains. The American loss waa six
wonnded. The rebels lost 68 killed and
40 wounded.
Washington, April 10. The following
dispatch was received from General Otis
today :
Manila, April 9 Adiutant-General,
Washington: Lawton's command cap
tured Santa Cruz, the chief of Laguna de
Biy this morning. Our casualties were
six wounded. The insurgent troops were
driven back, leaving 63 dead on the field
and a large number of wonnded. A con
siderable number were captured. Lawton
well push westward.
(An expedition, consisting of about
1500 men, commanded by Major-General
Henry Lawton, left 6an Pedro Macati,
on the river PaBig, Saturday night, with
the purpose of crossing Laguna de Bay,
and capturing the town of Santa Cruz,
on the eastern shore of the lake. The
American troops were then, as planned,
to Bweep the country to the south. The
force consisted of 200 picked sharpshoot
ers from the various regiments.
General Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz on Monday morning at day
light, to capture or destroy the rebel
gunboats or shipping, to take the town
and then scour the country to the south
of the lake, a district not yet explored
by Americans. The Detroit is to atop at
Ureytown, after leaving Port Liroon.)
Manila, April 10. 4 :45 p. m. The;
rebels along the railroad fired at a scout
ing party near Malolos today, wounding
two of the Kansas regiment.
TheTJnited Statea gunboat Bennington
has gone np the coast in order to relieve
the Spanish garrison of forty-seven men,
beleagured there since May.
It is considered significant that
Oceania Espanola, formerly rabidly in
favor of the Filipinos government, is now
counseling disarmanent, and advising
the Filipinos to accept the inevitable.
It baa carefully analyzed the proclama
tion of the United States Philippine
commissions pointing out the advantages
of the definite policy determined upon.
War Far From Ended.
Manila, April 7, via Hong Kong, April
10. Though hundreds of Filipinos are
daily returning to their homes and are
desirous of resuming peaceful pursuits,
and though the proclamation issued by
the United States Philippine commission
has given an impulse to this movement,
the war is far from ended. One of the
foremost American generals said recent
ly: "We will see 100,000 soldiers in the
Philippines before the Americans control
the islands," and a majority of the army
officers are of bis opinion.
It ia generally considered ' that great
reinforcements are necessary, there not
being a sufficient number of American
troops in the archipelago to make con
quest of the island of Lnzon and hold

those occupied ; and it is thought that it
would be cheaper in the long run and
have a better effect on the natives to
establish American supremacy effect
ually than to temporize with a ecore of
rebellions.
JUSTICE FIELD
PASSES AWAY
Died at His Rome in Washington of
Kidnev Complications.
Washington April 10. Stephen J.
Field., retired justice of the United States
supreme court, died last evening at his
home in the city, of kidnev complications.
He had been nnconscious since Saturday
morning, and death was painless. His
fatal illness began about two weeks ago,
when he contracted a severe cold. .
Stephen Johnson Field was born at ,
Hadden, Conn., November 4, 1816. He
waa the eon of David Dudley Field, and
one of four brothers, who became so
fitnoos, David Dudley, Cyrus W., and
Henry M. Field being the other members
of the great quartet that made their
names known throughout the world.
His early boyhood was spent at Stock
bridge, Mass. He graduated from
Williams college in 1837, at the bead of
hia claBB.
In 1848 he went to Europe and spent
some time traveling. In November, 1849,
he sailed for San Francisco around Cape
Horn, and entered upon the practice of
law in the Occidental metropolis. After
a short time he moved to Maryeville, a
small mining camp, and became one of
the founders of what afterward grew to
be a thriving town. He was elected a
judge of the supreme court of California
in 1857 for the tewn of six years. In
1859 he became chief justice, succeeding
Chief Justice Dayid S. Terry.
In 1863 President Lincoln appointed
him associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States, and be held
that' position until hia retirement on
December 1. 1897.
During the latter years of hip service
on the bench he was in very feeble
health. Hia term waa the longest in the
history of the tribunal.
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafnesp,
and that is by constitutional . remedies
Deafnesa 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, Deafnesa 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. - .

any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

NOT SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERED
Senator McBride Says That He is in
Favor of American Control.
Washington, April 9. The proposi
tion to exchange the Pbilipines for tbe
British West Indies ia confined to . one
New York paper, which is booming it
for some unknown reason. No one
takes any stock in it, least of all Great
Britain. The paper haa been full of the
subject and prints interviews which can
not in any way be turned as favoring
the Ecbeme. There is no doubt a desire
on the part of some of the people of
Jamaica to be annexed to the United
Statea eo as to get the advantage of our
tariff laws, but further than this the
project does not go. It is becoming a
settled policy of tbe United States that
the Philippines shall be retained aa a
part of tbe United States, and there is
no sentiment in favor of turning them
over to any other country, either for
other territory or money. The sug
gestion last winter that tbe Philippines
should be sold to Japan or England
raised a term of protest from those who
thought the matter was being seriously
considered:
Senator McBride, of Oregon, speak
ing of the interview with him in a New
York paper, says that he has formed no
opinion on the subject, because he re
gards it as a purely hypothetical one.
He has been misquoted to the extent of
favoring any such proposition. What
ever Senator McBride did say waa no
doubt twisted so aa to make it favorable
to the proposition, as the paper which
has advocated this exchange works such
schemes. . Senator McBride has not
seen tbe interview he ia credited with,
and for that reason does not wish to
enter any formal denial or endorsement
of what it contains. The whole subject
is one which is so remote and improba
ble that discussion of it by public men
is quite useless. -
Senator McBride stated positively
that hia own view has been that tbe
United States should hold the Philip
pines, and he has not yet seen any rea
son to change that view.
Spain's Greatest Need.
Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain,
spends hia winters at Aiken, 8.' C.
Week nerves had caused severe paina in
the back of his head. On using Electric
Bitters, - America's greatest blood and'
nerve remedy, all pain soon left him.
He says this grand medicine ia what hia
country needs. All America knows that
it cures liver and kidney trouble, puri
fies tbe blood, tones np the stomach,
strengthens tbe nerves, puts vim, vigor
and new life into every muscle, nerve
and organ of the body. If weak, tired

It is true that the preparedness for
war on the part of the Spaniards was
greater in proportion to the strength
c the two nations than the prepared
ness of . the United States. In cases
where we actually had a stronger arma
ment, the great disproportion of loss
and the comparative ineffectiveness of
the Spanish arms of course redound to
the credit of this country. The strength
of America being-, however, so pre
ponderant, and on some occasions our
armament being so much more power
ful, it is fortunate that there were oc
casions for many heroic acts on the
part of Americans that were in the
nature of "forlorn hopes." Among tihese
the most conspicuous is the case' of
the crew of the Merrimac. Though the
immediate object, of the sinking of the
collier was not RCj?orplished, no event
of the war afforded greater proof of the
high morale of the entire navy, officers
and men alike. Thedesire of the offi
cers and seamen to participate in what
must have looked like an inevitable 3ac
r'fice of limb or life is not the least
interesting, and, indeed, pathetic part
of Lieut. Hobson's thrilling narrative.
The fact that so many stood ready to
engage in the perilous duty, while it
does not take a single leaf from the
laurels of those who actually took part
in the maneuver, makes the heroism of
the officer and crew of the Merrimac
significantly typical. Century.
