the reflponsibilitiee of his position, with
out ability to improve it. The very first
action of his government should ho his
recall. It is a pitiful thing to see tho
sacrifice of the tall, splendid men of tho
American soldiery to his gross incom
petency." Ho also expressed the opinion that
tho American fatalities would aggregate
fiOOO, adding that the facts could not he
told owing to tho piess censorship. He
predicted that if Otis is left to direct the
army of occupation the Americans will
virtually ho defeated, for, he said, "the
rebels will ho-able to hold their own,
biivo within the cities of Manila and Ilo
Ilo, and perhaps a few square miles
around about, and do as they please."

From Svlvan Valley News, Brcvrad,
N. O.
It may be 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 suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Itemed)'. We have known and
used this medicine in our family lor
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea liernedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases tho presence of
a physician would not be required. At
lepst this haB been our experience
during tho past twenty years. For sale

Federal Troops Sent Out to Fight Desert

Thus Cutting Off Monte Cristo
From the Interior.
Cave Haytien, Hayti, Aug. 9. Gen
eral Francisco Lyriano sent from Monte
Cristo by tho Dominican government to
attack General Kamon Pacheco at the
Dajabon headquarters of the revolution
ists, was abandoned by his troops when
he arrived in front of the enemy. With
out firing a shot they deserted and
entered the camp of Pacheco. Advanced
posts of the latter are at Las Aguas, and
the revolutionists as masteis of the forts
across the Iliver Yaquie, thus cutting off
communication between Monte Cristo
and the interior.
The force of Jimlnez, the leader of the
revolution, is being augmented eyery
day, and news from every part of the
Dominican republic is favorable to him.
To Prevent Filibustering.
New Yokk, Aug. 9. X special to the
Herald from Washington says: General
Brooke was given instructions today to
prevent, at all hazards, any filibustering
expedition in Jimincz' interest leaving
Cuba. It is probable that this subject,
more than any ether, is the immediate
cause of Secretary Hoot's visit to Lake
Champlain. Mr. Boot received a sum
mons from tho pretident just after sev
eral dispatches from Brooke about the
suspicious movements of Jimiuez had
been received at Lake Champlain and
asking instructions.
According to the views of the officials
here aud evidently also those of the pres.
ident and Secretary Boot, the United
States is as much obliged to prevent vio
lation of the neutrality laws in Cuba, as
in the Uuited States. The charge d'af
faires of the Dominican country in this
city has called the attention of the
authorities to the contemplated expedi
tion, and ho was assured that everything
possible would be done to prevent it.
