ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK
Manila, Dec. 10. General Gregori
del Pilar, commanding Aguina'do's
body-guard, was killed by Mayor 'Pey
ton March's battalion of the Thirty
third infantry in a fight 18 miles north
west of Cervantes, December 3. Ac
cording K reports which General
Young obtained from escaped Spanish
prisoners at Vigan, several days ago,
Major March left the cost, -where he
was pursuing Aguioaldo, and en
countered -General del. Phar on a
fortified trail. They fought for four
hours, during which time 70 Filipinos
were killed and wounded. The Ameri-
ican loss was one killed and six wound
ed. The Spaniards report that Ma
jor March is still pursuing the insurgents.
Del Pilar was one of the leaders of
the present and of another Spanish
revolution. He was a mere youth, and
was reported to have graduated at a
leading European university. Professor
Schurman met him as a member of the
first peace commission, and rated him
as remarkably clever.

A Brilliant Move.
London. Dec. 10. The war office
has issued the following dispatch from
General Buller, dated at Frere camp
December 9, afternoon.
. "The following was received from
General White today: 'Last night I
sent General Hunter, with 600 Natal
volunteers, under Roynston, and 100
of the imperial light horse, under
Edwards to surprise a gun on a bill.
The enterprise was admirably carried
out and was entirely successful, the
hill being captured and a six-inch gun
and a howitzer being"' destroyed with
guncotton. A maxim was captured
and brought to .Ladyemith. Our loss
was one killed and Major Henderson,
of the first battalion of the Argyll
Highlanders wounded. At the same
time that Colonel Knox seized the
hill, one squadron of the Nineteenth
hussars rode around Pepworth hill,
burning kraals and cuttiug the tele
graph lines. They had no casualties."

New York, Dec. 11. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
British forces in South Africa have
met with a signal defeat. This sen
sational news was officially announced
from the war office at midnight. Gen
eral Gatacre admitting that he had
met with a serious reverse in an attack
yesterday morning on Stromberg, in
Northern Cape Colony. The British
general says he was misled .by guides
as to the Boer position, and'.found
"impracticable ground." Apparently
he was caught in an ambush, as his
casualties, as at present known; are
alarming.
The numbers of dead and wounded
oonnot be considered excessive in the
circumstances, but the enormous num
bers reported missing suggest that the
engagement must not have .been un
like tbat of Nickolson'a Nek, when
General White lost so heavily.

MANY WRBK KILLED,
Terrible Gas Explosion in Coal Mine at
, Carbonado.
TAeOMA Deo. 10. A mine explosion
at Carbonado, 40 miles easternly from
Tacoma, at 11 o.clock yesterday morn
ing, killed 33 men. Identification of
the dead men is almost impossible.
The scraps of clothing that still cling
to the bodies of the men are carefully
preserved, laid aside and labelled to
aid in the lndentiflcation. ' Frenzied
relatives of the missing men gather at
the mouth of the mine, , watching eagar
ly to catch a glimpse of the forms as
they are hurried by to the coroner's
office.
The tunnel in which the explosion
took place is about li miles in lenght
on a water level under the southwest
part of town. There are several air
ohutes running up to the surface -of
Win gate bill west of there. The force
of the explosion was such tbat it
knocked John Ryan, said to be a Finn,
who was working at the eight cross
cut, 32Q feet above the water level.
The oause of the explosion is a
mystery to every one. Not even tbe
miners rescued can give the slightest
possible explanation. Only safety
lamps, the English Clanney and the
Davie patterns, are worn when at work.
Should, howereyer, one of the men
haplessly .open his lamp in an accumu
lation of coal gas the gas would sudden
ly ignite and explode. The only open
light known was that from tbe small
locomotive used to haul the car in and
out to the canyon on the main leyel.
It is, merely theorizing to say that this
was the cause. .
. , It is believed that between 30 and 35
men were killed in tbe accident. Many
of those who got out alive are terribly
burned, and some of them will die.

Begard the Defeat at Btormberg a Most
Serious One.
London, Dec 11. Discussing the
defeat of General Gatacre at Storm
berg, the dally mall says: -
"Quite apart from the loss of 600
fighting men, the unexpected Boer
success will probably , cause a more
general and serious movement among
the' Cape 'Dutch. Tbe government
must promptly face this by the immed
iate dispatch of futher troops.
. The Daily mall says; "The reverse
General Gatacre has suffered is a sadly
empathio commentary on the peculiar
difficulty of military operations in a
semi-disaffected country. The enemy's
spies are everywhere, and nowhere can
we rely confidently on any counter in
formation. General Gatacre seems to
have' been completely trapped. Of
course, he will be Immediately rein
forced." The Standard says: "The event is in
the highest degree deplorable. It will
tell against us unfavorably in the Free
State, among the colonial Dutch and
even among the natives.' A great deal
of ' evidence has been accumulating
during the past weeks to show how
deeply the colony, or at least the north
ern and western ' portions of it, are
honeycombed by dissatisfaction. - Our
generals haye to cope with a rebel
colony as well as hostile republics, and
must take measures to lay their plans
in accordance with the details."

Methnen'a New Guns Play Havoc With
Boer Trenches. .
Modder River, Sunday evening,
Dec- 10. The naval four and seven
inch guns again took up a position
north of the camp this afternoon,
while the howitzer battery was posted
southeast on the left of the Boers.
Both opened 1 a hot fire with lyddite
shells and shrapnel, to which the
Boers sharply responded with a dozen
guns, thus unmasking their position,
which was the object of the British
maneuvers. After an hour's fighting,
the Boer guns . were silenced. The
howitzer searched the trenches, and
then threw shell after shell upon tbe
hills, the explosion oi the lyddites
causing the whole ground over an ex

WHOLESALE
00 was Kxcmaive. '
Anecdotes concerning the boyhoods
of our fighting men are especially
timely at present, and I wish to relate
one about a young lieutenant on the
Marblehead, says a writer in the Wash
ington Post. I know he will be de
lighted at my telling'it. I am told that
he has threatened to shed the blood of
any of his kinsmen who remind him of
it, for its constant repetition has em
bittered his youth. He is still young,
however, the youngest lieutenant in the
navy, and, I believe, the youngest man
Annapolis ever graduated. There 'was
a time when he was very much younger.
When he was precisely two years and
six months old his nurse entered his
apartment one morning. "O, come
with me," said she. "I want you to see
the darling little baby brother the
angels have brought you." The future
lieutenant sat up in his trundle bed and
looked haughty. "Go way," he said, con
temptuously, "I don't care to meet
strangers."
The Rennoa. .
In one of his books Mark Twain ob
serves that the reason there is com
paratively little arable land in Spain is
"because t'he great majority of the Span
ish people are in the habit of squander
ing i on heir persons, and when they
lie it is buried with them.

How sad it is to see weak
children-4)oys and girls who
are pale and thin. They can
not enjoy the sports of child
hood, neither are they able
to profit by school life. They
are indeed to be pitied. But
there is hope for them.
Scott's Emulsion
has helped such children for
over a quarter of a century.
: Your doctor will tefl you it is both
food and medicine to them. They
begin to pick up at once under its
use. Their color improves, the flesh
becomes more firm, the weight
increases and all. the full Gfe and
vigor of childhood returns again. .
At all dnursrists: toe and tun.
