Ciiicaoo, Aug. 4. The Tribune's epe
cial eorreHpoinlunco from Manila under
dutuof JuiioliO.eayH: The next cnmpnign
can hunlly liecin auonur thnu November,
ill though the country may dry up enough
tov;inln tiie middle of October to permit
tin; American troops to take the field
than. The American urmy during the
rainy aeiiBou can hardly be expected to
do imytliiiiR more than hold what it lino
gained nml prepure fur the next cam
paign. The ground to defund 1b not
very cront.
On the Knuth of Manila wo have Iiuub
niimit fliteon miles rwhv, where the
Fourth and Fourteenth infantry, with
several gunH from the Sixth nrtillery, aro
stationed. This territory was gained
only n-Ithin the last two weeks by the
hnrd lighting ut l'arnnunue, at which
even tlio ruttlu of the rifles can be heurd
in Manila.
Northward the farthest point In the
control of our ooldiorH in San Fernando,
forty-one tniluH from Manila, on ttio
railroad. The railroad in 149 miles in
length in till, but the insurgents control
11 tilts track between San Fernando and
Dacupan, the northern terminal of the
road. The Amoricnns hold Canadalm,
aat of San Femundo ten miles. They
hold all the towns along the railroad, of
courto, to Sun Fernando and Ualiuag,
tevon miles east of Pnlllun.
Iteporte continually come from linliuuB
tliat the town is entirely surrounded by
the enemy and is about to bo carried by
assault. But Colonel Page and the Third
infantry huvo so far driven the rebels
wick with disastrous Iobs evory time
they have assaulted the town, and he de
clares lie can hold it for an indellnite
time, although his position thero is by no
means nn easy one. Supplies and mall
can only bo curried over to Ualiung from
the railroad undor an escort of not less
than 150 men, who are invariably nt
tacked Bomowhoro along the road, both
doing and coming.
Heavy shipments of arms nre said to
be coiistautly nrriving from Japan and
Australia and, it is said, even from our
wn country. Cartridges picked up in
Hio ineurgent trenuhes bear tun trado
ark of a big manufacturing firm in the
United States. The Insurgents hnvo
three factories where they manufacture
cartridges and other munitions of war.
If they were kept on the run they would
have notimosotoequlp themselves that
"ley could returu after defeat, bettor
"bio to fight than they were before.
They are learning things every encoun
ter with the Americans. The papers In
Manila have continually referred to the
act that the rebels were prone to shoot
too high, and they adorned finally to
"nve learned the lesson and now they

It may bo a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of Buffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain'e Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. Wo have known und
used this medicine in our family lor
twenty yours and have always found it
reliuble. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would saVo hours of suffering
while n physician is awaited. We do
not bolicvo in depending implicitly on
any medicine lor a cure, but we do
believe that If a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Keuiedy was kept on hand
and administered ut the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
und iu very many cuees the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
I no Bt this litis been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale

with local applications, as they cannot

is u blood or constitutional dieense, and
in order to cure it you must take inter

taken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It wns wus prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and

of the beet tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. Tho perfect
