HIS FORCES
AT MANILA
AH the Towns and Territory They
Captured Abandoned to the In
surgents Return of the Expedi
tion to Manila.
New York, April 17. A dispatch to
the World from Manila says : Major
General Law ton, at Paite, today au
thorized the World correspondent to
make this statement :
"The present proepect is that 100,000
troops will be necessary to paci'ythe
Philippine islands." General Law ton's
expedition has returned to Manila. Ail
the territory he had captured was
evacuated, and the launches he seized
will fee given back to the persons from
whom Aguinaldo's soldiers took them.'1
After giving the opinion that 1O0.COO
men will be required to subdue these
islands, General Lawton explained the
situation to the World correspondent as
follows:
"The difficulties in the way are those
of fighting guerrillas in a tropical
country. With my brigade I could force
my way from one end of the island to
the other if I did not have to bold the
territory I travereed. Bat leaving gar
risons behind would soon eat up the
whole of the force."
General Lawton regretted exceeding
ly being compelled to evacuate the ter
ritory he had captured.
'poet scout," left here one year ago to
work the properties and look after the
mining interests oi the Klondike, Yukon
& Copper River Company in the frozen
gold fields of Alaeka. Now he is sorry
he went.
According to a letter received yester
day by General K. H. Warfield, the
'poet scout" has lost the little fortune
he possessed, and has been turned adrift
by the company because he has refused
to fiend out fictitious and glowing accounts
of the richness of the company's claims.

cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions
and a wretched complexion. Electric

VOLUNTEERS
WANT TO RETURN
Why Lawton Was Recalled.
New York, April 17. A epeclal to
the Herald from Washington eays :
When Bhown a dispatch announcing
the recall of General Lawton, Brigadier'
General Schwan, acting adjutant-gen
eral, said it was in accordance with the
understanding at the war department
as to the purpose of General Lawton's
campaign.
"General Otis sent this expedition to
Southern Luzon," he continued, "for
the purpose of destroying any insurgent
forces that might be found there, to
make a careful reconnoissauce of ' the
territory and, to spread broadcast the
recent proclamation of the Philippine
commission, setting forth the purposes
of this government with respect to the
islands. I expect he will clear all the
prisoners he has taken, and they will be
sent to their homes. By this action it
is hoped be will prove to the Filipinos
that the Americans are not as barbarous
as the insurgents pretend we are and
that we propose to treat the Filipinos
humanely."
"Why is General Lawton needed at
Manila?"
' "General Otis has not communicated
his plans to the department, the matter
being left entiely to his discretion
The insurgent leader has established
his headquarters at San Fernando, to
the northwest of Malolos, and I suppose
General Otis contemplates a movement
against that city. General - Lawton
bad only 1500 men under his command,
and it was of coarse impossible for him
to divide bis force by stationing detach
ments in every village captured. His
command will be useful, however, in as
eisting in the advanca on Malolos, or in
reinforcing the line about the city of
Manila. It is possible that when the
lake rises, General Otis will resume the
campaign in the southern part of the
island." ;

LAND ENTRY
WAS CANCELLED

Washington, April 16. The desire of
the volunteers to return to this country
is evinced in a report which shows that
of those who have been offered opportu
nity to re-enlist with the offer of a bonus
in travel pay of over $500, only about 7
per cent will accept. The volunteers, it
is said, desire to come home by organiza
tions, instead of individually. Some
discharges of individual soldiers have
been brought about by congressional
pressure, but as a rule General Otis has
been disapproving all applications for
discharges except in case of sick or
wounded soldiers. -
Deafness Cannot be Cnredr
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to enre deafness
and that is bv constitut'or..".! 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 be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cas?6 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 caee of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

HISSED IN SPAIN
Queen Regent Did the Right Thing by

Washington, April 12, The commis
sioner of the general land office has can
celled the homestead entry of Albert Offi
cer of a number of small tracts of land
in The Dalles land district, Oregon, as
those indentical lands were granted to
The Dalles Military Road Compauy in
1S67, to aid in the construction of its
road. Last year Officer , was permitted
by the local land officers to make entry
of these land?, and final certificate was
issued to him, he claiming to have settled
on them in 1890.
Later, when the error was realized.
the entry was held for cancellation, and
Officer given sixty days within which to
show reason why the entry should not
be' finally cancelled. This he attempted
to do, Baying that there was no other
claim than his to the land when he
settled, that no such grant was ever
made to the road company, and the
further fact that he has made improve
ments valned at $2000. . The commis
sioner holds, however, that Officer
failed to show that the lands were ex
cepted from the grant for the military
road company, and the mere fact that
the lands were not listed by the com
pany in no way affects the company's
right. He therefore held Officer's home
stead entry for cancellation, bot subject
to right to appeal.

London, April 17. The Paris corre
spondent of the Daily Mail, recounting
an interview with Madame Emma Nev
ada, the first American operatic singer
who has visited Spain since the war,
says:
"Madame Nevada's manager had ar
ranged an operatic singing tour, but on
the first night, at Seville, though the
house was bought up," the curtain rose
on empty seatP. The opera was "Lucia
de Lammermoor." In the second act
all the elite arrived, together, but turned
their' backs to the stage and talked
ostentatiously until the end of the opera,
when on returning to acknowledge a
burst of applause, Nevada was roundly
hissed. At Madrid the queen regent was
informed of the occurrence. Her
majesty invited Nevada to a soiree at the
palace, and presented to her a diamond
and eapphire bracelet. Nevada arrived
here in a state of the greatest indignation.
Remarkable Cnre for Rheumatism.
Kenna, Jackson Co., W. Va.
About three years ago my wife had an
attack of rheumatism which confined
her to her bed for over a month and
rendered her unable to walk a step with
out assistance, her limbs being swollen
to double their, normal size. Mr. S.
Maddock insisted on my using Chamber
Iain's Pain Balm. I purchased a fifty
cent bottle and used it according to the
directions and the next morning she
walked to breakfast without assistance
in any manner, and she has not had a
similar attack since. A. B. Parson. For

weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold

half used. It is the best medicine out
