Still Much Uncertainty.

MiSsoua, May 4.-I'hcrc is still
much uncertainty as to the result Of
the attempts of the arid land COM
mission to do business III the Bitter
Root valley. 1t is said that the
support OF the state board Of land
commissioners is not enthusiastic to
any noticeable degree and that it j.,
if much aid is to be derived
from that source. The friends Of
the movement and the members or
The arid land commission arc disap-
pointed over the outlook, bat it may
be that there Will be some develop
lncntS in the near future that Will
change the appearance Of matters.
In Eastern Montana. where the
operations Of the board have been
encouraged and where the ditch
near Billings is now being construct
ed, the people are enthusiastic over
The work as far as it has progressed
and are confident that tile results
will be moro than satisfactory.

To Turn Over Hawaii.

Honolulu, April q. via San Fran
cisco, May 4.-prcsidcnt Dole has
sent long communication to Nc
Kinlev, Offering to transfer the
Hawaiian islands to the United
States for the purpose of its war
with Spain and furnish American
ships after war in the Pacific waters
with large quantities Of coal, sup
plies and ammuntions. This action
was taken by the executive Just
after Il secret conference Of the
Hawaiian cabinet, called to discuss
the position to be assumed by the
government toward the two bclli-
ycrents.
Washington. May + Senator Frye,
speaking Of the report from Homo
lulu, said lie hoped the president
would accept the offer by President
Dole. Members of the committee
on foreign relations generally inter
pret the report to Indicate II willing
ness to form an alliance with this
country in the war for Spain. They
say that for the islands to have held
aloof and insisted upon remaining
neutral would have been equivalent
to refusing coal or granting any
courtcsies to the United States dur
ing the war, and that the action
now taken will put the islands in the
way OF doing this country any favor
possible.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamcd condition Of the mucous lin

this tube gets int|amed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in

tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by

in the field, withdrew the Spanish
garrison from Bavamo, one Of the
important towns Of the province Of

northwest Of the city Of Santiago de
Cuba. 1T has population Of about
900.
The Spanish merchants and resi-
dents Of I'ayamo, it appeacs, were in
great fear Of plumber and massacre,
but General Garcia issued a pro-
clamation declaring that the prop
erty of Spaniards and their civil
rights must be respected. The gen
eral also personally notified the Lead
ing Spaniards Of the place that they
were perfectly safe in remaining in
BayamO, with the result that busi-
ness went on as usual and tranquility
prevails there. The people began
bringing in vegetables and meat from
the country and the prices Of pro-
visions fell.
10 cases Of outrage have been
reported. General Pando is sup
posed to be at Manzanillo, near the
River Capto, with the main body Of
the troops whose operations he has
been directing in Eastern Cuba. Up
to April II about 6, 900 mcE, or one
third Of General pando's forces. had

The mention Ht I sleepwalker
atan,ling 2aiu,n tie street railway
track the other night and barely
escaping s,cin9 run down has
brought TO the minds of many peo-
pie incidents in this line that have
come under their observation, and i
is simply astonishing how general
is this habit.
One person mentions the case of
member Of the household who was
found wandering about on the house
top, all unmindful Of his danger,
while the observer was at his wits
end to know how to get him in be-
fore he should make a misstep and
fall to the ground Usually the eyes
of the somnambulist are wide open,
and now and then story indicates
that the vision must be fairly good
at times.
For instance, a gentleman remem-.
bers that when he was young man
an acquaintance was badly given to
the habit, and he would often go
out into the yard and wander about.
One night a number Of them lay in
am bush for him just to watch his
operations By and by the door
opened in a businesslilzo way and
out came the young man. He went
straightway across the street into a
lot where there was q. nut tree and
proceeded to pick up nuts and put
them in Il pile. A few moments at
this task, then he started toward the
house. In spanning the fence he
made a misstep and fell. This awak-
ened him, and while he was in the
first act Of collecting his thoughts
he saw in the darkness the young
men who were watching him. Just
at that time their appearance SO
startled him that he fled like a deer
The circumstance was SO impressed
upon his mind that he never after
ward INDUCED in the habit.
A gentleman told an amusing in
cident that happened in his early
life. He was sure that he could not
have been more than or years
old at tie time. He often found him
self at the far end Of the long, un-
finished cha1nbe where he slept,
and usually could not awake suffi-
Glen " to find his way to bed again;
SO ose OF tho other Of his parents
would hear him crying and come to
his rescue Naturally they got a
E!l1e tired Of the bother, and no one
should lie blamed for what followed.
As stated, the chamber was an I'M
flu bel one, and in place of the
guard rail ut the danger end Of the
stairway number of barrels had
been placed When the night S som.
mbulistic tour eliminated that
left a lasting impression Oh his
mind as we'll as his body, he was
near those barrels, and it seemed haC
been struggling to get through be
tween them, when he must surely
have been killed by falling dow1
the stairs. The noise aroused tho
parents, and on this memorable oc
cas;on the father visited the cham

THE CIpY OF MANILA.
1t Is Beautiful Place, and The Finest
lIarbor in The World.

1t Is Beautiful Place, and The Finest
lIarbor in The World.
New York, May 2.-Spanish re-
ports last week asserted that the
entry to Manila bay was guarded by
fifty Or sixty heavy guns and it
would be impossible for the Ameri-
eau fleet to enter the bay without
the cooperation of a strong land
force. They did not know what was
possible to an armed American fleet.
Now they kt.ow more about it. Ma
Mia is a very bustliny port, with a
very beautiful bay. The town,
which is the capital Of the Philip
pines, is city Of 250. 600 inhabitants,
according to the census Of 1880. The
large bay on the shores Of which it
lies, is oval in form, and at least 120
miles in periphery. Into it the
river Pasig empties.
The city proper-that is, the
fortified portion or it, is on the left
bank Of the Pasiy, a spot selected in
1871 by Lopez de Legaspi as the fu-
turc center Of Spanish power in the
islands. The Spanish and creole
portion Of the population constitutes
about one-tenth Of the whole, the
others being natives and Chinese.
Most Of the Chinese are engaged in
commerce. The city is a group OF
forts, converts and administrative
buildings. 1t is surrounded by lofty
walls and connected with the com
mercial part Of the community Oh
the right bank Ut the Pasiy by two
fine bridges. ...@..
AS d center Of trade it is admir-
ably situated at the mouth Of nayi-
gable river and Of an interior sea.
which insures it the products of a
whole province. Upon the waters OF
the bay rides in time OF peace a com
mercial fleet representing the ma
tiuns Of the whole world. A canal
cuuurcts Manila with the seaport
towns on the other side Of the island
the eastern side.
In the narrOWS at the entrance OF
the bay is the volcanic island Of Cor
regidur. During the southwest mon
soon, when the tides arc highest
ships Of 500 tons can anchor in The
mouth of the Pasig under cover Of ;
long jetty, while small Warships ear
enter the cove Of Cavitc, nine mile:
further down This cove, protected
from the high tides by a long, sand,
/ promul!tury, is called the hook.
| Manila is very favorably situated
for general commerce. 1t commands
all the routes Of navigation between
the Strait Of Londe and the moutl
Of the Yayis Use Yang. Lapcraus'
said Of the city that it's commercial
location was the best in the world
Up to 1911 it was the connecting
point Of Spain's trade with he
American colonies. The principa
exports Of Manila are hemp, cigars
coffee and sugar. The leading man
ufacture is cigars. which is a govern
ment monopoly, employing 20, ,0O(
workers of both sexes.
Manila was founded by the Span
iards in 1911, on the site Of a Mala
town, defended by stockades. Miguc

Philippines and founder Of the city
was interchangeable in promoting it
