MUST RETREAT
Rebels Will Again Be in Full Possession
of the Islands 100,000 Men are
Necessary Properly to Subdue
and Hold the Islands and No Other
Course Will Be Successful.
Ban Francisco, June 21. Dr. Chas.
A. McQneslion, who was on the staff of
General OtiB, and who waa health officer
at Manila, has returned home, invalided
by the climate.
Captain McQueation made a cloee
study of the conditions of the Philip
pine situation. He is of the opinion
that it will take from 100,000 to 150,000
eoldiers to properly subdue and hold the
islands. He also says that the peace
commission was an absolute failure, and
that its work from the start was without
effect. He strongly supports the mili
tary government cf the islands, except
that he thinks more men will be necess
ary than has been estimated.
"Dr. Scburman knows that the com
mission is a failure, and is coming home
in July," added Captain McQuestion.
"Unless troops, thousands of tbem, are
sent to the aid of our men there, they
will be driven back into Manila in the
coarse of the next few months, during
the rainy season. Our men simply can
not stand the climate. Fifty per cent of
them will be incapacitated by sykness.
Manila will be in a state of siege again.
"One of the great dangers that onr
men have to face is the climate. The
new-comers will be at a disadvantage
because the volunteers who are returning
home are inured to the climate. As a
matter of belief, the Filipinos think they
have the Americans licked already.
"One eolation of the situation might
be to enlist colored troops from the Gulf
states, and this might settle some of the
race questions of that section. These
men wonld be better able to stand the
climate conditions around Manila, and it
has been proven that they are good
fighters.
."I want to say a word for the Western
volunteers. They make the finest sol
diers in the world, and their fighting
qualities are wonderful. Bat the volun
teers all want to return home, and I
hardly think that the plan to enlist three
skeleton regiments from the volunteers
now in the Philippines will be a success.
The men enlisted to fight for their coan
trp, and they are not the kind of men
who want to stay and fight an insurrec
tion for money or the fun of fighting."

Captain Coghlan Believes the Hero of
Manila Will Attend Only One
Dinner or Celebration and That
in New York.
Chicago, June 21. A special to the
Times-Herald from Terre Haute, Ind.,
eays :
Captain Coghlan, of the Raleigh, who
stopped here on his way to Puget sound
to visit friends of Mrs. Coghlan and his,
in thi9 city, where the then young naval
officer first met his wife, who was a Miss
Barbour, thirty years ago, talked inter
estingly with these friends of the occur
rences which have brought him into
prominence, except as to the Union
League Club speech of "Hoch der
Kaiser."
That affair, he said, is a closed inci-

ILLINOIS WILL TAKE
FRECAUTIONS
dent. He said thatof atrunkful of letters
received from all parts of the United
States, only fifteen were in criticism,
and of that fif teeenfourteen were written
by very ignorant pereons. The captain
did speak with feeling against what he
called "hyphenated Americans." Said
he:
"If a man is an American citizan, he
is an American citizan, pure and simple.
I have no patience with this hyphenated
citizenship. There is nothing that
Europe would rather see today than the
existence of their factional lines in our
citizenship. If tlieEe foreign colonists
get a foothold in the United States our
power will be on the wane."
When asked what he thought Admiral
Dewey's programme would be on his re
turn to this country, he replied : "I be
lieve he will go at once to bis lome in
Vermont. He will not make any trip
over the country in response to invita
tions to attend jubilee celebrations. He
does not like that kind of glory nor does
any one of the army and navy officers.
Admiral Dewew will probably attend the
banquet to be given in his honor in New
York, as Governor Roosevelt, who is an
intimate friend, will attend. Besides
this, he will attend no other celebrations
or dinners."

Joseph Anderson Propahly Murdered
Near Aberdeen.
Aberdeen, Wash., June 20. Two
weeks ago ten boxes of salmon were
stolen from Damon's wharf, on Gray's
harbor, about seventeen miles from
Aberdeen. Suspicion was directed to
Joseph Anderson and Daniel Downing,
fishermen living in the vicinity. Of
ficers armed with warrants searched the
but of Downing, but found no traces of
the mi&sing fish. Anderson could not
be found, but subsequently his dead
body was found buried in the sand. The
remains were buried, but the coroner
became suspicious and exhumed them.
Upon opening the coffin a ghastly
sight was presented. The head of the
body dropped back, disclosing a clean
cut from ear to ear, while the skull bad
been crushed with some blunt instru
ment. Downing has just been arrested
and charged with murder.
Last fall I sprained my left hip while
handling some heavy boxes. The doctor
I called on said at first it was a slight
strain and wonld soon be well, but it
grew worse and the doctor then said I
had rheumatism. It continued to grow
worse and I could, hardly get around to
work. I went to a drug store and the
druggist recommended me to try Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-
half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entire
ly. I now recommend it to all my
friends. F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It

Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty
Times Its Pi Ice.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all my life. When I came down to work
this morning I felt so weak I could hardly
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. It worked like magic
and one dose fixed me all right. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for
I should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
price. G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur-

To Prevent The Rapid Increase of Con
suction in Animals.
ORGANIZED FOR
THIS PURPOSE
Legislature Will Be Asked for a $50,000
Appropriation This Year Infected
Cattle Will Be Promptly Killed
and Owners Compensated.
Chicago, June 21. A number of busi
ness men and physicians met at the
rooms of the Chicago Medical Society
and formed the Illinois Society for the
Prevention of Consumption. Mayor
Harrison presided at the meeting. The
object of the association is the eradica
tion, so far as possible, of the baccili of
consumption from annuals used for hu
man food and from the surroundinge of
beef and dairy cattle.
Figures and statistics were submitted
showing the rapid increase of consump
tion, but it was the opinion of those at
meeting that scientific act practical work
will eventually check the spread of the
disease.
It was decided to urge the state legis
lature to appropriate funds adequate to
the needs of the state board of livestock
commissioners, this sum to be probably
$50,000 the first year, $30,000 the second
and $20,000 the third year.
Also to nrge that the commission be
empowered to apply the tuberculin test
to all cattle in the state and against the
wishes of the owners ot cattle if neces
sary, and that all cattle not proving un
der the tuberculin test to be free from
tuberculosis, to be condemned and the
owners compensated by the state at the
scale of prices fixed by the livestock com
missioners. The legislature was also nrged to de
vise an efficacious plan for the preven
tion of the sale of tuberculosis meat in
Chicago. John McLaren was elected
president of the society.
