FILIPINOS MAKE
AUDACIOUS ATTACK
They Run a Train Almost lo American
OutDOsts and Tear up Tract
DAMAGE CREATED
NOT HEAVY
The Remnant of the Nebraska Regiment,
Only 350 Men, Ask to Be Retired
Captain Grant's Gunboats Make a
Trip Up the San Fernando River.
Manila, May 8, 7 :40 p. m. The Fili
pinos surprised the United States forces
-at San Fernando with a daring trick on
yesterday. A railway train with an
engine at each end was ran almost to
the American outposts, and in plain
eight of the town. Before they could be
reached, a gang of natives sprang off the
train and tore up several lenghts oi rail
way track, boarded the train again and
steamed away so quickly that there was
no opportunity to capture the raiders.
The Nebraska regiment is asking for
temporary relief from duty. Only 375
men of this regiment are left at the front.
The army ganboat Laguna de Bay
and Cap. Cavdonga, nnder command of
Captain Grant, which started up the
San Fernando river for Gaaua yester
day, as was presumed to establish there
a, base of supplies for the troops engaged
in the northern campaign, returned
today, General MacArthur having failed
to connect with the expedition. The
gunboata found tbe rebels entrenched at
Sosmoan and Cucuaga on the water
fronts of tbe town. The vessels steamed
past the works, shelling tbe occupants
and driving them out. Landing parties
from the boats entered both towns, cap
turing at Sosmoan a Spanish captain in
uniform, who was ostensibly a prisoner
in the bands of the rebels, and also a
native officer. Arriving at Guagua, the
town and a small gunboat were found to
be burning, and the natives were evacu
ating the place in consequence of tbe
bombardment. At Sosmoan the landing
party captured a number of Filipino
flags and a quantity of arms, chiefly
bolos, and bows and arrows, besides a lot
of band instruments, which the men
played as they marched back to the
boats.
Captain Grant's expedition will pro
bably return up the San Fernando river,
after having been reinforced, on the re'
cently purchased light-draught Spanish
steamers.
The Present Situation as Reported.
Washington, May 8. The war de
partment has received a cablegram from
Gereral Otis giving the situation in the
Philippines, some parts of which have
been omitted by the war department in
making it up. The dispatch is as follows
"Manila, May 8. To Adjutant-Gen
eral, Washington : The situation is as
follows: Lawton is at Maasih and
Baliang, and scouting partiesare out to
the north and east. MacArthur is at
San Fernando. The population of the
country between Manila and northern
points held by our troops are returning
home. They appear cheerful and con
tented. Army gnnboats operating in
the rivers have cleared the country west
of MacArthar's position of insurgents,
Signs of the insurgents' weakness are
more apparent daily. OTIS.
Department Officials Satisfied,
' Washington May 8.' War depart
ment officials seem to be even more en
couraged than ever over the condition of
affairs in Manila. The report of Otis to
day indicates that the American "troops
are well dispoeed. It has been ' evident
that the snsurgents who were operating
in swamps and jungles east of MacArthur
Makes the food more delicious and wholesome
BOVM. BAKINO POWDER
have been very annoying, but army gun- j
boats have made it too hot tor yiem to
remain. Lawton appears to be pushing
northward fifteen miles to the east of
MacArthur. The Rio Grande liver lies
between them, and there the gunboats
are evidently at wo'k. The portions of
tbe dispatch which the department has
not made public possibly refer to the
future movements of the two divisions of
the armv.
Millions Given Away.
Jt 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 suffering, The proprietors
of Dr.- King's New Discovery for con
sumption, coughs 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. Aathtnaj
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
Claud Branton's Case.
Salem, May 7. Arguments and peti
tions for the commutation oi the
sentence of Claud Bran ton, sentenced to
be hanged in Eugene, will be made and
presented to Governor Geer tomorrow.
Judge Hale, Branton's attorney, ' will
make tbe argument. The main reason
for clemency will be that Branton's ac
complice, Courtland Green, is - now in
ail, and capital punishment in Bran
ton's case would be unjust. Branton
was convicted of tbe murder of John
Linn in tbe mountains in Lane county
last Jnne. His execution is for May 12.
I consider it not only a pleasure but a
duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about
the wonderful cure effected in rry case
by the timely nre of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I was taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A few
doses of it effected a permanent cure. I
take pleasure in recommending it to
others suffering from that dreadful dis
ease. J. W. Lynch, Dorr, W. Va. This
remedy is sold by Blakeley & Houghton,
never been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves
the pain and this quick relief which it
affords is alone worth many time sits
cost. For sale by Blakeley & Houghton.
A Great Artesian Well.
Los Angeles, May 8. A well which
spouts a large column of water from 200
to 400 feet high has been opened ' near
Whittier in tnis county. The well was
being drilled in the hope of striking oil
While the men were at work an
enormous volume of water, nnder tre
mendous pressure, shot out of the mouth
of the well. ' Ever since the flow began
it flooded, and no means of controlling
the etreain has yet been found.
Bed Hot From the Gun
Was tbe ball that hit G. B. Steadman
of Newark, Mich., in the Civil War. It
caused horrible ulcers that no treat
ment helped for twenty years. Then
Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him. It
cures cuts, bruises, burns boils, felons,
corns, skin eruptions. Beet pile cure on
earth. Twenty-five cents a box. Cure
guaranteed. Sold by Blakeley & Hough
ton, druggists.
An Epidemic vf Whooping Congta,
Last winter during an epidemic of
whooping cough my children contracted
the disease, having severe coughing
spells. We had used Chamberlain's
Cough Bemedy very successfully for
croup. and naturally turned to it at that
time and found it relieved the cough
and effected a complete cure. John E.

NEGRO ISLANDERS
ARE SATISFIED
The President of the Island Sends Word
to General Otis That His People
are Loyal to America.
New York, May 8. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Hong Kong
says: M. Laceon, brother of the loyal
president of the island of Negros, arrived
here today bearing a letter of introduc
tion from General Otis. His mission is
to purchase steamers for trade among
the islands nnder tbe American flag. In
an interview M. Lacson said :
"Tbe proclamation of the American
commissioners is entirely satisfactory.
It gives us autonomy and greater lib
erality than we demanded. We believe
that America will not fool as with treaties
as Spain fooled ns:
Aguinaldo was honest as long as he
was nnder the influence of Dewey and
Wildman, but the listened to he state
rnents of the Hong Kong junta, who are
American traitors.
"Negros wants nothing to do with
Aguinaldo'a proposed peace conference
We are as loyal as New York, and oar
soldiers now march under the American
flag.' . ' - -
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, aa they cannot
reach the diseased portion ' of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafnesp,
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 eound or
imperfect hearing, and when it -is en
tirely closed, Deafness is tbe result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
oat 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 bat 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
Care. Send for. circulars : free.

Army Commission Finds Tnat the B&ef
Was Not Embalmed.
SECRETARY ALGER
WHITEWASHED
General Eagan Censured for Excessive
Purchase of Untried Rations
Meat Packers Exonerated.
Washington, May 7. By direction of
the president, who approves the find
ings, Acting Secretary of War Meikle
john today made public the report and
findings of the military court appointed
to investigate the charges made by
Major-General Miles, commanding the
army, that the beef supplied to the
army during the war with- Spain was
unfit for tbe use of the troops.' The
most important features 'of the report
are :
The finding that the general's find
ings that tbe refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals were not estab
lished; that his allegations concerning
the canned fresh or canned roast beef
were sustained as to its unsuitability for
food as used on the transports and as a
long-continued field ration ; censure of
General Miles for "error" in failing to
promptly notify the secretary of war
when he first' formed tbe opinion that
the food was unfit; censure of the commissary-general
(then Gen. Eagan) for
tbe too-extensive purchase of the canned
beef as an untried ration; censure of
Colonel Mans, of General Miles' staff;
the finding that the packers were not
at fault, and that the meats supplied to
the army were of the same quality as
those supplied to the trade generally,
and the recommendation that no further
proceedings .. will be taken in the
premises.

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest teets, but her vital
organs were andertermined and death
seemed imminent. For tbree months
she conghed incessantly, and could not
eleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of ua a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

THE MURISTAN.
A Historical Site in Jerusalem Graot-
. ed to Ccrriany for Its
New Chsrch.
'.jy
The Muristan, the site of the new
German church at Jerusalem, vyas
granted to Germany by the sultan in
1369. It is in the middle of the city,
near the Church of the Sepulchre, and
no spot was richer in remains of the
Latin domination to- say nothing of
the Saracenic ruins. In the reports- of
the Palestine Survey there is a photo
graph of a fine Gothic 'vfindow by Lieut.
Kitchener K. E. to-day the sirdar.
That window, together with portions
of cloisters, a belfry and a rich double
doorway, belonged to the Church of
St. Mary, built in 1130, a little earlier
than the beautiful church outside the
walls known as the Tomb of the Virgin,
the gift of Mclisinda, wife of King
Fulk. The bazars east of the Muris
tan, notably the meat market, are
medieval, and west of it lie buried be-neath-the
soil the buildings of the great
hospice of the Knights of St. John.. "
The kaiser will find at, least one an
cient, trace pf German crusaders : at
Jerusalem. "The Birket-es-Sultan was
made by the Germans to water their
horses,: and was. known in Latin times
as the German Pool.: Theodoricus men
tions it first. The greatest German
work in, the past was, of coarse, the re
building : of - the walls of the city by
Frederick II.,. in 1229. v But the - em
peror's . work lasted only ten : years,
when the. walls were destroyed by Arab
hordes under the emir of Kerak. Lon
