posed Plan of Government Do
Not Approve it Officially.
Manila, May 23. Rostario, a Filipino
congressman, wealthy resident of Manila
and formerly Aguinaldo's commiesary
general, aaeompanied by an insurgent
captain, called upon General Otis today
and announced that "we desire to sur
render our persona and property into
the hands of the Americans."
The surrender was arranged by Chap
lain Pierce, of the Fourteenth regiment,
who knew Kostaria before the war. Ac
cording to a story told by Rostario, Gen
eral Luna is absolute dictator and Aguin
aldo fears him. Every Filipino leader,
it is added, suspects others of treachery.
The recent meeting of the Filipino con
gress was to secure a new cabinet and
the question of peace was not formally
considered, as the members feared
Luna's displeasure.
Major Bell, with two companies of the
Fourth cavalry, has been reconnoitering
in the direction of Santa Arita. He
found 100 Filipinos there and was driving
them away, when large reinforcements
of the rebels arrived and be was obliged
to withdraw with four men wounded.
A raft carrying soldiers of the Fourteenth
regiment has been sunk at Paeig ferry.
One man was drowned.
The wet season baa finally begun and
another week's rain will make the rice
fields thick with mud.
Manila, May 23. The Filipino com
missioners spent the day at the residence
of the American commissioners. They
discussed every point of the scheme of
government and the peace proclamation
details, asking for information is to what
personal rights would be guaranteed
them.
It was explained that they would be
the same as under the United States
legislation. The Filipinos also desired
information as to the school system to
be established and approved of the
American policy of separation of church
and state.
.They chiefly objected to the scheme on
the ground that it gave them prospective
liberty which they knew they would
have, but did not give them present
liberty. Finally, the Filipinos said they
were perfectly pleased with the plan,
but could not indorse it officially.
THE ILWACO
TRESTLE FELL
Accident on the Railroad A Narrow
Escape But No One Hurt
Astokia, Or., May 22. A portion of
the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Com
pany's trestle at Ilwaco collapsed this
afternoon, while the beach train was
passing over it, and the locomotive was
dumped overboard into the bay, but for
tunately no one ways injured.
The train, consisting of a freight car,
coach and engine, was backing down to
the wharf, and the two cars passed safe
ly over, but a cap gave way nnder the
engine, and it toppled overboard, land
ing on its side in about eight feet of

water. The coach was drawn over alter
it until one end struck the water, the
other remaining on the track.
The engineer and fireman jumped over
board and swam ashore, as did several
passengers who were standing on the
platforms. Of the eight paseengers in
side the coach, fonr were thrown into
the water. There were one or two narrow
escapes from drowning, one young man
sinking twice before he was reecued ; but
otherwise no one was hurt. This trestle
has been considered unsafe for years,
and the company yesterday began driv
ing piles to rebuild it.
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 nndertermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. 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 nigbt ; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cored. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

Deafness Cannot be Caret.
by local applications, aa they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the' ear
There is only one way to cure deafnea
and that ia 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 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 the mucous ear
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cauaed by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

La Grande, May 23. A. W. Rynear
son.oneof the wealthiest ranchers in
this valley, was drowned in the Grand
Ronde river at 7 o'clock this morning.
Mr. Rynearson was crossing the river,
which is still a greatly swollen and swiftly
flowing stream, on a footbridge a mile
and a half from town. A floating log
struck the bridge, demolishing it and
barling Rynearson into the turbulent
water. One of the bridge boards fell on
him. He grasped it end gained a foot
ing, but the swift current again swept
him away, and that was the last seen of
him. Searching parties are trying to
find the body, but the river cannot be
dragged on account of the swift current.
Mr. Rynearson was on the way to the
city to superintend work on one of bis
bouses. He was sixty-seven years old
and leaves a wife and a number of child
ren, and several brothers and sisters.
He was an old-timer, and stood very
high in the community.'
I consider it not only a pleasure but a
duty I owe to my neighbors to tell.about
the wonderful cure effected in my case
by the timely UFe of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I was taken very baily with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A few
do3ea 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

J. A. Penabaker Drowned.
Salex, May 23. J. A. Penabaker, "a
pioneer of this state, aged 74, was

The Best In tbe World.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our own
and other papers we purchased a
bottle to see if It would effect us. It
cured us before the bottle was more than
half csed. It is the best medicine out
for' colds and ' coughs. The Herald,

Washington, May 22. The war -department
ia proceeding on the theory
that by the end of July not a volunteer
soldier will be left in Manila and Gen
eral Otis' report today that the trans
port Warren has arrived, advances the
time when tbe homeward movement of
volunteer troops will begin. Already
notice ha9 been issued that mail for the
First California and Second Oregon vol
unteer regiments should not be sent to
Manila but to San Francisco.
Turning in for Rest.
Washington, May 22. While it ia
not eo affirmed at the department, the
recent movement is generally believed
to mark the end of the active campaign
before tbe wet weather sets in. Mac
Arthur ia at San Fernando, south of
Aryat, where Kobbe and Lawton are
now joined. This is a point that has
previously been spoken of as a possible
summer base for American northern
outposts. Lawton's turning in his
march to tbe north and proceeding
down tbe Rio Grande is a natural re
sult of his desire to get behind tbe in
surgents at San Isidro and crash them
at a blow, according to program.
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 tbe
needy and suffering, The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Diecovery for con
sumption, congha and colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine; and have the satisfac
tion of knowing it baa absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
bronchitis, hoarsenesa and all diseases
of the throat, cheat and lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough
