Washington, April 25. The follow
ing has been received at the war depart
ment from General Otis :
"Manila, April 25. Hale's brigade,
MacArthur's division, moved down the
right bank of the QuiDqua river yester
day to the vicinity of Calumpit, and was
joined by Wbeaton's brigade on the left
bank. Hale encountered fierce oppo
sition, driving-the enemy with heavy
losses and taking his entrenchments in
the flank. Hale's casualties were six
killed and twelve wounded.
"The division has now invested
Calumpit, which will be taken today.
Law ton, with part of his command, will
reach Norzagaray this evening, where
be will be joined by the center column
from. Bockve.
"Extreme heat, rain, hi eh streams
and bad roads made the march very
difficult. He has not met opposition
since leaving Kovalicbes, the enemy re
treating in Lis front south of and near
Manila. The enemy has a force of 4000,
making demonstrations daily, so can be
easily taken care of. It cannot com
municate with the north. OTIS."
Brigade Saw Hot Fighting.
Manila, April 25, 6:15 p. m. Gen
eral Hale's brigade, consisting of the
Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota regi
ments, with three guns, which left Ma
lolos Monday, followed the west bank of
the Rio Grande river to a ford. Many
email bands of rebels were encountered,
and during the afternoon the Americans
discovered several hundred of the enemy
entrenched near Pulitan, north of Quin
gano. Our troops attacked the rebles,
losing eix men killed and eleven
wounded.
. General Hale's troops claim that
nearly 200 dead natives were counted
along the country traversed. Among
the dead was a Spanish captain.
The South Dakota regiment bore the
blunt of the fighting, and had five men
killed and nine wounded.
The country travereed by our troops
is thickly wooded and hardest for fight
ing. The rebels along Bagbag river
were reinforced from Calumpit as the
troops under Hale approached. During
the day the Americans captured thirty
five prisoners.
' As this dispatch is sent the rebels are
retreating in the direction of Calumpit.
The Filipino troops engaged were well
uniformed and well drilled.
As the campaign progresses the work
of the rebel troops ia improving. They
are adopting American methods, and
the accuracy of their shoaling is evinced
by the fact that five Americans were
shot in the head.
General Hale at 4 o'clock this morn
ing crossed the river and advanced on
Calumpit. MacArthur's division also
advanced, and nine of the armored flat
cars were pushed ahead on the railroad
The Kansas regiment advanced on the
right of the track and the Montana regi
ment pushed forward on the left.
The rebels are already returning to
Malolos and becoming . troublesome
They fired on an ambulance yesterday
which was passing across the plaza, and
they have driven the Chinese out. The

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Effectual
Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloated sensation after eating, accomp
anied some times with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases,' causing
pressure on the lungs and heart and
difficult breathing; headache, fickle ap
petite, nervousness and a general played
out and languid feeling.
There isoften a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of
stomach could be seen it would show a
slimy, inflamed condition. . .
The cure for this common and obstinate
disease is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily and
thoroughly digested before it has time to
ferment and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digest
ion is the one neceeflaiy thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap
peared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to nee after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastrse,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores nnder the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat
ent medicine, can be used -with perfect
safety and aseurrance that healty appe
tite and thorough digestion .will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicag?, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes inflamed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom,
passing back into the throat, reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
forme three years for catarrh of the
stomach without cure, but today I. am
the happiest of men after using only one
box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
cannot find appropriate words to express
my good feeling.' I have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's DyspepBia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion,' catarrh of the stomach,
biliousness, sonr stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.

troubles, by addressing the F. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores. -

ON THE LYNCHING
Country Which Can't" Protect Its Cit
izens ia Time of Peace Has No
Right to Ask its Citizens to Protect
it in Time of War.
New Yoek, April 25.. Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll says of the lynchings in
Georgia:
"I suppose these outrages-these fright
ful crimes make the same impression
on my mind that they do on the minda
of all civilized people. I know of no
words strong enough, bitter enough, to
express my indignation. These horrors
were perpetrated in the name of justice.
The savages who did these things belong
to the superior race. They are citizens
of the great republic. And yet it does
not seem possible that such creatures
are human beings. They are a disgrace
to our country and the human race.
"Let me say that what I have said is
flattery compared with what I feel.
When I think of the other ljnching of
the poor man mutilated and hanged
without the slightest evidence; of the
negro who said these murders would be
avenged and who was brutally murdered
for the utterance of a natural feeling I
am utterly at loss for words. .
. "Are the white people ineane? Has
mercy fled, to bear this? Has the United
States no power to protect a citizen? A
nation that cannot or will not protect its
citizens in time of peace has no right to
ask its" citizens to protect it in time
war."
W. A. Barker, ex-attorney-general
of
of
South Carolina, who has just returned
from Lake City, S. C, where he was
prosecuting attorney for the government
in the trial of the lynchers of Postmaster
Barker, says :
- "I believe in the lynching of the
negroes confessedly guilty of crimminal
assault. It is the only protection of the
women of the South, and especially of the
rural districts. Otherwise I am opposed
to lynching. -
"I feel sorry for the South that this
blot is upon us. It effects us all over the
world. It robs us of. material pros
perity and of the high moral and social
position to which we are entitled. It
ruins the worth of our investments. If
it is not stopped then shut the school
houses, burn the books, tear - down the
churches and admit to the world that
Anglo-Saxon ciyilization is a failure."
Rev. Horace Bumstead, president of
the Atlanta university, of Atlanta, Ga.,
when interviewed in regard to tbe
lynchings in that state, said:
"In common with all law-abiding
Americana, I cannot but deplore the
horrible transactions of the last day or
two in my adopted state of Georgia. Aw
ful as is the injustice of such dealings
with the negro race, their results will be
more terrible in their effect on the white
race in undermining all respect for law
and order . -
"It is a gratifying sign ot the times
Hi., cu U guon .lontoern man as ex
Governor Atkinson should bodily en
deavor to stem the tide of wrong and
should declare his willingness to testify
against the wrong-doerp. If only the
number of eucb men can be increased in
t. .1 f- -,.nU I r . .
the boutfa, that section can hope to per
petuate the best American civilization
within her borders."
The colored ministers of New York
city, at a meeting in St. Mark's Methodist
Episcopal church, passed resolutions de
nouncing the Georgia lynchings. Rev.
William H, Brooke, of St. Mark's ehurcb,
was among the speakers.
"We have no sympathy," he said,
with' the crime charged against the
negro throughout the South, but what
ever the crime, we believe there is
sufficient law to protect them until the
trial comes. I hope and rruet that the
S-cnlar and religions papera and pulpitB
will give their aid and throw their in
fluence on the side of right."
Rev. P. B. Tompkins, pastor of St.
James's Presbyterian church said :
"I wouldmueh' rather be a Filipino
and be under tbe Spanish yoke than
under the law and order now practiced
in Georgia."
. HU Life Was Bared.
Mr. J. E. Lilly,' a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately, had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frigbtlul death.
In telling of it he says:" "I was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia. My lungs became hardened. I
was so weak I couldn't even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me." I expected
to soon die of consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King's New Discovery.
One bottle gave great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now. am well and
strong. I can't say too much in its
praise." This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in tbe world
for all throat and lung trouble. Regular
size 50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle

Poor Mail Service.
Washington, April 22. Second As
sistant ' Postmaster-General Shallen
berger has euspended action in tbe case
of P. C. Richardson, of Seattle, whose
contract for the overland mail route in
Alaska from Juneau to Circle City and
Tanana has been held up. He has fur
nished satisfactory assurances of keeping
to his contract in the iuture. The ser
vice has been very poor. Richardson
claimed the failure to perform service
was due to the weather and the breaking
up of tbe ice. The department in decid
lag that he may continue conceded that
twica a year, when the water is freezing
and when it breaks up, the weather
might bean excuse, but that these ob
stacles by no means extended through
out the winter. The route is' about
1200 miles long.
Deafness Cannot be Caret.
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. 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 cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of tbe 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. .
