Lawton Resting at Candaba Will Ad

Has Destroyed Many Crops.
New York, May 24. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Manila
Bays : General Lawton is resting with
6000 men at Candaba after thirty days
of successful campaigning. He eaid to
the Journal correspondent:
"It pained me when we got into San
iBidro to see on the walla of the prison
the names of the fifteen Americans from
the Yorktown. From Colonel Ray, the
Spanish officer whom we rescued, 1
learned that one of the American prison
ers escaped from his captors. His lib
erty was short lived, for he was recap
tured. He was stretched on the ground
before his fellow-prisoners and twenty
lashes were given to him.
"We found a letter near San Isidro,
written by one of the Yorktown's crew,
saying that they were being kicked, that
their hair was being pulled out and that
they were cruelly treated in various
other ways, and praying their fellow-country-men
to hurry to their release.
The insurgents make a practice of mur
dering the Chinamen who fall into their
hands, and our men, I suppose, should
consider themselves fortunate that they
have not been similarly treated, though
the cruelties and indignities heaped on
them must be hard to bear. I would
have advanced to Tarlae, but was in
formed that I was north of the insur
gents' main forces. Hence I asked for
Kobbe's brigade. I can advance and
reach Tarlae in six days unless the pre
negotiations between the Filipinos and
our commission accomplish peace. The
whole country is nothing but intrench
xnents.
"I have had during the last month
twenty-two engagements, Six of my
men have been killed in the field, two
have died from wounds, and thirty-five
have been wounded. The losses ot the
insurgents were over 400 killed, while we
have taken 1000 prisoners. I released
Spanish prisoners, established civil gov
ernment in San Miguel, Balinag and
San Isidro and safely conducted 540
Chinese refuges who were in fear for
their lives. In the section traversed,
nave destroyed zuu.uuu bushels of rice,
165 tons of sugar and 10,000 bushels of

Manila, May 24. General MacArthur
and Funston, with the Kansas and Mon
tana regiments and the Utah battery.
have dispersed 300 insurgents, who were
entrenched on the railroad near San
Arita. The American scouts were fired
upon from the trenches unexpectedly
and withdrew. The firing was beard at
Ban Fernando, and MacArthur assembled
his troops and marched quickly after the
scouts. The Montana regiment flanked
the trenches on the enemy's right flank,

Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
pon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest teets, but her vital
organs were undertermineu and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed iucessantly, and could not
leep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing ot us a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discoveiy for Consump
tion, and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she 6lept all night; and
with two bottles, has been absolutely
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

Rich Ore in Golconda.
Bakes City, Or., May 22. A wonder
ful strike was made yesterday in the
Golconda mine. At a depth of 200 feet
miners broke through a strong vein,
opening up a three-foot pay streak. The
ore aesays $743.20 per ton in gold and
eighty-five ounces in silver. In the same
lead was exposed a three-inch stringer
of high-grade ore, containing visible free
gold, some of which is deposited in
crystals. The value on this stringer,
showing plainly across the pay shoot, is
$20,146 in free gold, and 600 ounces in
silver per ton.
Deafness Cannot be 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 bv 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 bave 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 bnt an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cared by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars : free.

The Best In the 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 congh, 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 used. It is the best medicine out
for colds, and coughs. The Herald,

New Yoek, May 24. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Hong
Kong quotes Admiral Dewey as saying,
on board the Olympia:
"The courtesy of these visitors I warm
ly appreciate, but I am too much worn
out and sick to receive them. I am net
sorry to leave Manila at this time; I
could not etand the care and responsibil
ity much longer. It is vastly easier to
be under orders than issue them.
"It is responsibility that kills. Dar
ing the year that has elapsed since we
came to Manila, I have not had one sick
day until now. A year is long enough
in this climate for an oid man, and I am
glad to be permitted a rest. On this ac
count, I expect to remain in Hong Kong
two weeks. That ought to recuperate
me. My intention is to spend the time
at Victoria peak, where I hope to be
absolutely free from worry. Nobody is
more sensible of the kindness of the peo
ple who have extended me invitations,
bat I do not wish for entertainment.
My health will not Btand it at present.
Two weeks of perfect quiet at the peak
ought to make a new man of me.
"I have the greatest enthusiasm in the
future of the Philippines. I hope to see
America possess the key to Oriental
commerce and civilization. The brains
of our great country will develope the
untold agricultural and mineral re
sources of the islands. We must never
sell them. Such an action would bring
on another great war. We will never
part with the Philippines I am sure,
and in future years the idea that any
body should have seriously suggested it
will be one of the curiosities of history.
"The Olympia will go home leisurely
I want all of my officers and men to get
the greatest benefit of all the stops we
can. We will pick our places with this
in mind. They have earned a rest by a
year of steady duty without respite.
While I am glad to be going home.
cannot say good-bye to Manila without
regrete. There bave been many pleasant
occurrences among the months of bar-
rasaing responsibilities and we will not
forget them."
By allowing the accumulations in the
bowels to remain, the entire system is
poisoned. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
regulate the bowels. Try them and you
will always nee them. Snipes-Kinersly

I consider it not only a pleasure but
duty I owe to my neighbors to tell.about
the wonderful cure effected in rcy case
by the timely nee of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
I was taken very ba-tly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A few
do3es 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.
