There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure witli local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in dnses from ten

Schwan's Movements.
Washington, Oct. 11. A cablegram
from General Otis to the war department,
received late this afternoon, confirms the
press dispatches regarding Colonel Sch
wan's movement on San Francisco de
Malabon. General Otis says:
"Schwan succeeded yesterday in driv
ing the insurgents Boutb, with loss, from
San Francisco de Malabon. He reporte
their forces disintegrated and retired on
divergent roads, which are impassable
for artillery or wagons. There is no
intention of occupying this country per
manently or temporarily. Transporta
tion will return by way of Rosario, and
the column will move in the direction of
Das Marinas, probably retiring on Imus.
The country is of no strategic impor
tance." General Otis disapproves of officers'
families joining them at Manila. Re
garding this .question lie today cabled
tlio department as follows:
"The population of Manila is much
congested. Provision for ofliceis' fam
ilies cannot be made, Tlioee already ar
rived, together with tho families of en
listed men, have caused much perplexity.
I would not permit my own family to
como under existing circumstances;
nearly all officers and men here are
absent from Manila on duty. Families
should wait, more peaceful conditions."
Another message announced the ar
rival at Manila of the transport Victoria,
with 403 horses; ten died en route, nnd
several, found to benlHicted with gland
ers, were shot. The Garonne nailed
from Manila on the 7th inn., and tho
Athenian on the 9th, both for Seattle.
"I wish to express my thanks to tho
manufactuiers of Chamberlain's Colic,
