Sends Word to Rebel General
Luna.'
Manila, May 26:05 p.' m. Major
'Manuel Arguelezeas and Lieutenant
Jose Bernal, of the at aft of General An--tonio
Luna, returned here today to re
new and presa the request of General
Luna for a cessation of hostilities. They
have found their field of labor a most
uncongenial one. The two officers were
-received and admitted to a conference
-with Major-General Otis. .. The pro
posals which they had ' to Submit dif
fered but slightly from those which they
brought from the Filipino commander
in the first place. They desired a little
-time in which to summon congress, and
expressed themselves as being confident
that congress will decree peace, because
the people desire it. Thoy represent
that Aguinaldo is without power to sur
render the army and that congress must
decide the question. Incidentally the
Filipinos envoy asserted that Aguinaldo
had not yet made a fair teBt of bis
strength against the American forces,
because but one-third of hia army bad
been assembled together. The envoys
presented a letter from Senior Malini,
president and minister of foreign affairs,
in the cabinet of Aguinaldo, and who ib
the backbone of the Filipino organiza
tion. The communication is personal
and unofficial, and seconds Major Ar
guelezea' arguments.
Envoys will see General Otis again
tomorrow. They will stop tonight in
Manila. They lunched with General
MacArthur at his headquarters on a car
of an armored train at Caiumpit before
going to Manila. Whether or not Gen
eral Luna is sincere in his overtures,
the negotiations are giving the insur
gents much needed opportunity to re
organize their demoralized forces. The
truth is, the dissensions among the
leaders of the rebels is helping on the
disorganization of the Filipino army al
most as much as the American . cam
paign. In course of a conference with
the Filipino envoys, General Otis agreed
with the statement of Major Arguelezes
that the people of the Pilippines wanted
peace, and he added that requests for
protection were pouring upon him from
all parts of the country.
General Lawton was engaged in hard
fighting early this morning, but tele
graphic communication was cut at 9 a.
m., and there have been no reports from
Lawton since that time.
New York, May 2. A Manila dis
patch to the Journal says: Aguinaldo
has made overtures for peace, Colonel
Arguelezes, of the envoys sent to the
American lines having presented a prop
osition which came directly from' Aguin
aldo. This proposition, the Journal says,
was the same as that heretofore made
namely: An armistice until the Filipino
- congress meets and decides whether the
Filipino army should surrender. General
Otis declined to receive the dispatch,
and says he told Colonel Arguelezes it
was useless for the' Filipinos to return
unless they came prepared to accede to
the American demand.
The . Same Old Proposition.
t Nkw York, May 2. A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says : The ' insur

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 is often a foul taste in the tnoutb,
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 baa time to
ferment and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy digest
ion is the one necesnaiy 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 use alter each
meal a' tablet, composed of Diastree,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nox, Golden Seal
and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat
ent medicine, can be used with perfect
safety and assurrance that healty appe
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Boober, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicago, 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
for me 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 nse.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as we'll as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of the stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.
Send for book, mailed free, on stomach
troubles, by addressing the F. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores.
General Fred Grant on His Way West.
New York, May 1. Brigadier-General
Fred Grant has left for the Pacific coast.
His wife will accompany him to the
West. Lieutenant Rash, of the Third
Kentucky volunteers, General Grant's
aide, will probably go to Manila with
him. '
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and . euffering, The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery for con
sumption, conghs and colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine; and have the satisfac
tion of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases
of the throat, chest and lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough
ton, druggists, and get a free trial bottle.
Regular size, 60 cents and $1. Every
bottle guaranteed or price refunded. ' 3
Drowned in a Mill Race.
Salem, Or., May. 1. Walter, the 4
year-old son of George Bryant, living at
Aumsvllle, twelve miles east of this
place, was drowned Sunday afternoon in
the mill race connected with bis father's
mill. The child had been playing about
the house, when he went out after some
wood, and as he failed to return prompt
ly, the mother became uneasy and set
out to look for him. The father im
mediately followed down the race, and
foucd the body floating in the fore bay.
It waB taken out -at once after having
been in the water 10 minutes.
A Peanut Trust.
New York, May 1. The consolidation
of the peanut industry of the country,
under the control of a single company,
with a capital of $5,000,000, is about to
be effected.'
Deafness Cannot toe 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. When this tube is in
flamed you have a . rambling sound or
imperfect bearing, 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 the 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.

of ammunition each.
Company L, Twenty-fourth infantry,
will arrive at Vancouver barracks from
the Presidio, San Francisco, tomorrow,
and will there await orders to proceed to
Wardner."
By the above announcement it will be
seen that the authorities intend to lose
no time in getting troops on the ground.
It is a" curious fact that during the
strike of 1892 regulars from Vancouver
were called out to help keep order at the
present scene of trouble.
Walla Walla, May 2. One troop of
the Fourth cavalry, under command ot
Lieutenant Munro, will leave via the O.

tism was the work of a demon within a

of sciatic-or inflammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infliction is demoniac

ernor's representative, who arrived yes
terday. ' " ,
Under-Sheriff Seysley pronounces
Saturday's outrage as unparalleled. The
destruction of property was bad enough,
although not surprising to one ac
quainted witb conditions here. The
boldness of the attack, however, is with
out precedent, while the shooting of the
men . was utterly without excuse. He
further says that - while punishment
should be meted to the guilty parties,
only the federal government can do so,
as there is not a man in Shoshone county
qualified to sit as a juror in the case.
There is no talk or expectation of any
action by the local authorities. -.
