STILL AT IT.
The Spanish and Insurgent Troops
Are Still Fighting.

Madrid, August 24.-The govern
ment has received a dispatch from
Gen. Rios, governor of the Viz
cayas Islands and the successor tC
Gen. Jaundenes in the governor
generalship of the Philippines, say
ing there was bloody fighting be-
tween the Spaniards and the insur-
sents with an estimated loss to the
latter of 500 men. The Spanish
losses were unimportant.
The dispatch says that a number
of the insurgent chiefs were cap
tured aud shot. A sergeant of
gendearmes who attempted to in
cite a rising against the authori-
ties, barely escaped lynching at the
hands of the populace. He was
turned over to the courts and shot.
Gen. Rios adds that he has organ
lied six batallions of natives and
for the purpose of resist
ing a threatened invasion of insur-
gents from the island of Luzon and
also a small sqadron to watch coast
and rivers of Miudano Island and
the Vicayas. The government is
highly satisfied with the service OF
Gen. Rios.

Manila, August 24.-At confer

clared emphatically that they were
willing to cooperate with the Amer
leans and surrender their arms
promptly if assured that the island
will remain either an American or
British colony or under the protec-
torate of the United States or
Great Britain. Otherwise the in
surgent leaders asserted they would
not dare disarm but must positively
refuse to do so. They threaten a
fresh rebellion within a month if
the Americans withdraw.

request from the New York Jour

A exchange gives the following
sound advice to business men, If
you expect to conquer in the battle
of today, you will have to blowYour
trumpet in firm and sturdy way.
If you toot your little whistle and
lay aside your horn, there's not a
soul will know that you were ever
born. The man than owns his acres
is the man that plows all day, and
the man that keeps humming is the
man that's here to stay. But the
man who advertises with sort Of
sudden jerk, is the man who blames
the printer because it woulden't t
work. The man who gets the bust
ness uses brainy printers ink not a
clatter or a sputter, but an ad that
makes you think. And he plains
his advertisement as he plans a
well built stock, and the future of
his business is as solid as a rock.

The whole male population was
set to smoking this morning all at,
or about, the same time. 1t hap
pened thusly: A drummer hit the
town with lot of cheroots and
to introduce them to trade, he
started several fantastic dressed
negroes out with boxes to hand to
all who would take them, and it
was not long before you could track
one of these negroes by the natural
exudations from his pores and the
cigar smoke he created by opening
them free to the gang of merchants
and others who were in his wake,
We believe there are some people
who would try to smoke a stick of
dynamite if it was given them free.

RULINGS OF ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Deputy Attorney General Reeder
June 6 gave the following opinions
in answer to requests from State
officials =
Replying to DR.. Rothrock. Com
missioner of Forestry, who inquired {:
"Under the law making Constables
fire wardens, is the county liable for
$500 and the State for $500 in any
one year?" The Attorney General
says that the act of March 0,1897,
provides that "the expenses of Con-
stables acting as fire wardens shall
be paid, one-half out of the treasury
of the respective county and the re-
manning half of said expenses shall
be paid by the State Treasurer into
the treasury of county 4" The act fur
ther provides that no county shall
be liable to pay for this purpose in
any one year an amount exceeding
$500.
In response to the inquiry of w E.
Meehen, Esq, assistant secretary of
the Pennsylvania Fish Commission
about the right to use fyke or hoop
nets, Attorney General Reeder re-
plies
"You are advised that, under the
provision of the act of May 22,
1889 -
81 1t is unlawful to set or use any
fyke net or nets of any kind or dew
vice made of cotton or flax, twine
or wire netting similar to fyke net
for the purpose of catching fish in
any of the waters of this common
wealth.
"2. Suckers, eels and catfish may
be caught in the open season in
streams other than private trout
streams, but the same cannot be
done by means of any seine or fyke
nets OF device, as above described.
similar to fyke nets.
SO There is no method of restrain
ing persons or corporations from
emptying chemicals from their man
ufactories into streams for the sim
pie reason that fish are thereby des-
troyed. Such an act may be restrain
ed where the act of the person or
corporation becomes a public nuis-
ance and a menace to the health of
the people, but in that event it must
be abated as a nuisance.

Truth About Cigarettes.

Under the above title he Medico
Legal journal, of N. Y, of which
Hon. Clark Bell is editor, publishes
a brief for the cigarette, in which
the effort is made to prove that
they are not responsible for the in
sanity and other evil effects at
tributed to them, and that they are
in effect practically harmless. The
ory is very we'll, and it may be that
many evils laid at their door are
ISLANDERS, but the question is perti-
nent, why are so many cigarette
smokers rejected as recruits by
army examiners, and what earthly
good can come of trying to establish
their harmless nature. 1t may be
the province of science to combat
error, but if it is error to teach that
the cigarette habit is injurious to a
youth, and that legislation as taken
by some states. to prevent the sale
is wrong, better abide in error than
to open the door wider to this habit
and furnish the young with argu-
ments favoring the cigarette habit.
