Many Insurgents are Returning Home,

Americans.
Manila, May 17, 6:30 p. m. Al
though the rebels etill threaten San
Fernando in considerable force, a large
number of natives, the majority of them
having families, with their household
goods, are moving daily to the towns in
side the American lines at Apalit. Many
of the richer Filipinos are coming to
Manila, and laborers are resuming work
in the rice fields. Tbe latter show their
reBpect for American sovereignty by re
moving their bats to the passing traine.
At daylight today Lieutenant Hill,
who, with 25 men of the Fourth infantry
was concealed in the trenches near
Paeig, was attacked by a force of rebels
who evidently imagined tbey could
capture one of the outposts because only
a few shots had been fired by the Amer
ican force. A few volleys put the enemy
to flight, the rebel i losing five men
killed and a number wounded.
6:55 p. m. Colonel Summers' com
mand, consisting of the Twenty-second
infantry, on the left, the Minnesota reg
iment in tbe center and tbe Oregon and
North Dakota regiments on the right,
preceded by Ecouts and accompanied by
Shott's battery of artillery, advanced
from Baluarte at daylight. Tbe troops
first encountered the enemy two niilee
from San Isidor, the rebels retiring
when our artillery opened fire. Just
outside the town, a rebel force estimated
to number 2003 men, was entrenched.
It made a slight resistance, and quit the
town when our troops turned their right
flank. The enemy's loss was fifteen
killed and twenty wounded. Our troops
also captured three prisoners and many
rifles. On the American side, one
soldier of the Oregon regiment and one
of the Minnesota regiment were slightly
wounded.. After capturing the town,
Col. Summers' troops continued their
advance, pursuing the retreating rebels
for several miles.
Lawton Captured Isidor.
Washington, May 17. The following
dispatch has been received at the war
department:
"Manila, May 17. To Adjutant-Gen
eral, Washington : Tbe situation is as
follows; Lawton, with much tact and
ability, has covered Culacan province
with his column, and driven the insurg
gent troops northward into San Isidor,
the second insurgent capital, which he
captured this morning, and is now driv
ing tbe enemy northward into the
mountains. He has been constantly
fighting,' inflicting heavy losses and
Buffering few casualties. The appear
ance of his troops on the flanks of the
enemy behind entrenchments thrown
np at every strategic point and town,
was very demora1izing to the insurgents
and has given them no opportunity to
reconcentrate their scattered troops.
. Sheep Still on Winter Range.
Pendleton, May 15. The promise of
a few weeks ago that by this time all the
sheep would be in tbe mountains and be
ginning on tbe summer range, has not
been-realized. Man v. bands which were
started for the monntaine have been
brought back to the winter range. - In

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
Pleasant, Simple but Safe
Effectual Cure for It.
and
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptons area full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied with
sour or watery rigings, a formation of j
gases caueing a pressure on the heart
and lungs, and difficult breathing ; head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
a genet al played cut, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in tbe month,
coated tongue and if the stomach could
be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed
condition.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surface of the stomach. To se
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to demand when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Haslanson tbe safest
and beBt treatment is to use alter each
meal a tablet, composed of Diaetaee,
Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nnx, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart' Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Boober, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicago, 111., says: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining mem
brane of tbe nose becomes inflamed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities prescribed
for me for 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 flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is tbe safest
as well as tbe simplest and most con
venient remedy for any form of indiges
tion, catarrh of the stomach, biliousness.

We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the beat in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and bavinr

cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is the best medicine out

General Merriam Will be Given Two
Troops of Cavalry.
Washington, May 17. Secretary Al
ger has received the following telegram
from Genaral Merriam in explanation of
the situation in Coeur d'Alene country :
"Wardner, Idaho: Adjutant General,
Washington The governor of Idaho has
carefully reviewed tbe situation here,
a&d deems it necessary to place troops at
Burke and Mullan to avoid disorder. I
request two troops of cavalry. Referring
to tbo press criticisms, I have made no
order. My action ia limited strictly to
tbe support of the state authorities.
There are 359 prisoners etill in custody
under investigation.
Mebbiam, Brig.-Gen."
Washington, May 17. The war de
partment is satisfied with tbe dispatch
of General Merriam, and the belief is
expressed that he has only assisted the
governor of Idaho and the military will
not be used for any other purpose than
that for which it was sent to the dis
turbed regions. The troops of cavalry
requested by General Merriam will be
sent from Fort Meade, South Dakota,.
and Fort Robinson, Nebraska.
Millions Given Away.

needy and euffering, Tbe proprietors

THE SECOND
OREGON'S RETURN
Troops
May Yet be Mustered Out in
Portland.
Washington, May 16. Senator Mc
Bride has had further conferences with
the war department regarding the return
of tbe Oregon regiment to Portland.
Colonel Summers has again cabled say
ing that the regiment prefers to go by
way of San Francisco, and, be mustered
out at Portland. Secretary Alger said
today that the camp tentage and other
equipment at San Francisco made it
more practicable to muster out tbe troops
there. It is possible, if the ship is sent
up tbe Columbia, .it miy be used for
quarters until the muster out.
Secretary Alger told Senator McBride
that Oregon should have her share of
the captured cannon. It is expected two
will be obtained from the navy depart
ment and two from tbe war department
for the soldiers' monument. -
' Elegant new Pullman palace sleepers

POSED PROJECT
Washington Delegation Also Fought
Against Opening the River to
Inland Empire.
Washington, May 10. Evidence con
tinues to accumulate indicating that the
proposed boat railway at the dalles of
the Columbia, known as Celilo falls, and
Three-Mile rapids, of the Columbia
river, will never be constructed. The
boat-railway project for the improve
ment of the Columbia river is now nearly
ten years old. When the 51st congress
met, Senator Mitchell introduced a bill
providing for the construction of a boat
railway. It was referred to tbe com
mittee on transportation routes to tbe
seaboard, tbe committee of which Sen
ator Mitchell . was then chairman, and
by bia committee favorably reported to
tbe senate. During one of the days in
congress when there was little else to
occupy the senate, Senator Mitchell
called np the bill, made an elaborate
speech upon it, and presented all ite
features in detail, and showed conclus
ively that the project was one which
should be favorably considered by con
gress.
At the conclusion of his speech tbe bill
was passed, as many such bills are in
the. Benate. Senator Mitchell was an
earnest advocate of this improvement,
and believed it the solution of the of the
problem of getting around the obstruc
tion at tbe dalles.
Many bills are. passed in the senate
in much the same way as this. So far as
the actual facts are concerned, every
body understood that no improvement at
tbe dalles or any other river or harbor
improvement was likely to become a law
unless it became a part of the river and
harbor bill.
