Washington. Aug. 10. - The two
American commanders at Manila, Adj
miral Dewey and Maj Gen. Merritt.

received here late yesterday afternoon
asking for instructions as to the man.

ments. particularly the insurgents.
now that the city was occupied by the
American forces. After a conference
at the White House in which Secretary
Alger and Acting Secretary Allen par
ticipated, instructions We're sent to the
two American commanders. The text
of the request for instructions and the
answer were not made public but Sec
rotary Alger summed up the instruc-
tons substantially as follows:
'Ihe instructions are to enforce law
and order and to treat all law-abiding
citizens equally"
The instructions are practically the
same as those sent to Gen. LawtOn
at Santiago. The latter order stated
specifically that the insurgents must
recognize the military occupation and
authority Of the United States and the
| cessation of hostilities proclaimed by
the United States. Doubtlessly the
Same order IS being
Applied to the Insurgents
under Aguinaldo, although it was not
stated officially that such specific regu-
lations We're made. 1t was said that
the joint note from Dewey and Mer-
rift does not in terms refer to Aguinal-
do, nor do the instructions mention
the insur.,ent leader by name. 1t is
known. hoHever, that it was the de-
sire OF the American commanders to

| dealing with the large and menacine
force of insurgents under AgunaldO.
who have surrounded Manila for many
| weeks, ana who, it is thought, may
| demand, or have demanded, the right
to occupy the city with the American
soldiers as the Cuban soldiers did at
Santiago. It has been thought in some
| quarters here that the showing here
tofare made by the insurgents would
| lead to their receiving certain
| amount Of recognition in the way Of
| joint action between the United States
| forces and those of the insurgents
when the city was occupied, but the
| instructions are based on occupation by
The United States Alone
and as high official summed up the
situation, there shall be no joint ac-
ton except between Merritt and
Dewey. They will maintain law and
order and will treat insurgents and
Spaniards alike, requiring all to OBJ
serve peace and order. Aside from the
dispatch mentioned the only other
word received from Manila during the
day was in the way Of brief dispatch
from Admiral Dewey announcing the
surrender Of the city last Saturday. A
detailed dispatch from Gen. Merritt
was Eagerly awaited during the day,
as it Va, feared that the sharp en-
gasement Of the land forces during
the stormi>. of Manila had resulted in
some casualties on our side. but no
dispatch came from Gen. Merritt up to
the close of office hours except the one

| in asking instructions. Secretary Al
ger concludes from this that the cas-
ualtieS could not have been heavy. as

promptly have reported. There is a

A PITABLE CONDITION TO WHICH
DEATH Is PREFERABLE.
\ Fearful Disease Which is Destruc-
tive to Little Folks-Generally Baf-
flies Medical Treatment--A Remark
able Cure.

from the Evening Crescent, Apple
ton, WIS.,: The story of remarkable
cure from disease which has gener-
ally wrecked the lives of children. and
left them in condition to which
death itself would be preferable, has
attracted a great amount of attention
among the residents of the west end
of Appleton, Wis.
The case is that of little Willard
Creech, son of Richard ID. Creech. The
lad was attacked by spinal disease,
and his parents had given up all hope
of his ever being well again. when, as
by a miracle, he was healed and is
now in school as happy as any of his
mates. Mr.. Creech. the father of the
boy, told the following story:
"Our boy had just become old
enough to begin school when he be-
gan to act rather queer and finally
we called a doctor who said the troub-
lie was Indigestion. The lad grew
worse however, and another doctor
was summoned who pronounced the
trouble spinal disease and put the
boy on a stretcher. Other doctors were
called in and there was a consulta-
ton. They all called in spinal dis
ease and for a year one of them gave
the boy treatment.
HE grew worse instead of better
and was absolutely helpless. His
lower limbs were paralyzed. and when
we used electricity he could not feel
it below his hips. Finally we let the
doctor go as he did not seem to help
our son and we nearly gave up hope.
I Finally my mother who lives in Cana
da, wrote Advising us to use DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and bought some,
though I had no hope of success
where the doctors failed.
This was when our boy had been
on the stretcher an entire year, and
helpless for nine months. In six
weeks after taking the pills we noted
signs of vitality in his legs. and in
four months from the time we began
the use of this medicine the boy was
able to go to school. We kept him at
| home. however, fearing a relapse if
he returned to school too early and
for year we gave him the pills reg
ularly.
ut is two years since he took the
first of the pills, and he is now nine
years old. He is at school now and
! just as happy and well as any of the
other children. 1t was nothing else
in the world that saved the boy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
The blood is the vital element in our
lives consequently it must be kept
pure, rich and red in order to have
perfect health. The cause of little
Willard Creech's sickness was disor.
! dered blood. He had skilled medical
treatment but derived no benefit un
| til Dr.NWilliams' Pink Pills were used
and these cured him.
This proves that this remedy is the
best means of imparting those ele.
ments that purify, vitalize and enrich
the blood, thus aiding bodily func.
tions and arousing every organ into
healthful action and in this way re.
storing the system. That is the rea.
son why DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure
so many diseases. why doctors pre-.
scribe them, why druggists recon.
mend them and why they are so uni
versally used.
