Dewey Sends q Message.
INSURGENTS, HE CABLES, HAVE CAP
TURED MORE THAN 800 MEN IN

INSURGENTS, HE CABLES, HAVE CAR
rURED MORE THAN 800 MEN IN
THE FIGHTING NEAR MANILA.
Washington, June 6.-The Nav.
Department today posted the follow
ing bulletin:
"Admiral Dewey reports that tn
insurgents have been actively engag
ed within the province of Cavite dur
ing the last week. They have VOL
several victories and have takel
prisoners about ! 800 men and tift.
officers of the Spanish troops, no
native. The arsenal of Cavite ha
been prepared for occupation by the
United States troops upon their ar
rival on transports"
The officials have been more anxious
than they cared to betray as to AID
miral Dewey's condition. They were
seriously apprehensive of danger t.
the fleet, but an impression was gain
ing ground that the Admiral had no
maintained the same measures OF sue
cess in his operation in Manila bay
that rewarded his first effort.
The report just received goes to show
that his plans are working out admir-
ably: that he succeeded in pnttine
upon the insurgents the burden
of conducting military operations
against the Spaniards while he him
self is in enforced idleness awaiting
the arrival of the troops. He ha'
also succeeded in preventing the cor
ruption of the insurgent leaders by
the Spaniards, which appeared at one
time to be threatening.
There is speculation here as to how
the insurgents will treat the prisoners
they have taken, who are more nu
merous, it is said than all the captures
made by the Cuban insurgents since
their war began. 1t was reported by
cable soon after he had secured the
cooperation of the insurgent chief.
Acuinaldo, that Admiral Dewey
would see to it that the insurgents
observed the rules OF civilized war
fare. The caution was made necesS
AIRY by the terrible tales that haC
been circulated of the barbarous
treatment of prisoners captured by
the insurgents. 1t is sincerely hoped
that Aguinaldo will see to it that this
agreement is observed in the case o.
the many prisoners he now holds, fo1
it is believed in official circles thai
the nations of the civilized world will
hold the United States morally re-
sponsible for any great excuses that
may be committed in the PHILIPPINES
as a result of this governments &C
ton there. The Navy Department
officials declare that Dewey is MOI
responsible for the safe keeping an
maintenance of these prisoners, which
is fortunate considering the limited
resources of the Admiral in regard &c
provisions.
The Navy Department gave Or
ders today that the doub,e-turrete(
monitor Monadnock, now at Mare
Island, California, should be made
ready to sail for Manila within ter
days. The Monterey will not wal
for the company of the Monadnock
but should be off in the course of
few hours under the convoy Of the
Brutus. The Navy Department vii
soon procure another merchant shlI
to accompany the Monadnock on he'
5000 mile voyage.

We endeayor to give our readers
as reliable war news as it is possible
TO obtain. In some Of the journals,
long letters appear from correspon-
dents giving all the particulars Of a
great battle even down to the names
ofthe killed and wounded and are con
frmed in dispatches in the next issue
and afterwards the whole story is as
certained to be simply a fiction, pre-
pared by correspondent to fill up
space and entertain the public.
This however is not new business
for those of us who had access to
Northern journals during the civil
war, well remember how Gen. Grant
for q number of days drove Gen.
Lees army for miles every day and
vet Gen. Lee had his camp all the
time in front of Spottsylyania Court
House. Ifall the vessels which the
war correspondents have destroyed
for Spain were realities, she had a fine
navy and there will be little left for
our navy to do.

1t is really amusing to see how
some of the silyerites attempt to ex-
plain away the disparity in the IN
creased price Of silver and wheat. If
some of the wiseacres could control
the price Of wheat, they would make
it correspond with that Of silver, but
unfortunately for them the prices OF
both silver and wheat are controlled
by the law of supply and demand
The unanswerable arguments which
they advanced during the campaign
have been answered by stubborn
facts. They are now trying to ex-
plain what they did mean, and their
explanations are no clearer than their
arguments. Poor fellows they
must do something or they will lose
the confidence of the people.

ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES
Of the Pyramid Pile Cure

Is the fact that it cures every form of
piles without one particle Of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the
use of injurious opiates. which simply
deaden and paralyze the nerves of the
parts and make matters worse in the
long. run. But it is done solely by its
remarkable healing and soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate re-
lief at the same time the disease is not
merely checked. but a radical cure is
rapidly accomplished
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a particle
of pain,
This fact is one reason for the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind Of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful, besides
endangering the life Of the patient and
in most cases is not to be compared with
Pyramid Pile Cure, neither in making
successful cures without pain nor in Cheap
ness and safety
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long and it's merits
recognized by too many people to allow
it to be classed with the many salves.
suppositories, pills ETC. and you run no
risk in trying it, as is often the case
with new and untried preparations.
II you are ever troubled with any
form Of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co. Mar
shall, Mich. and sold by druggists at 20
cents per package.

Mr.. HOLINESS LECTURE.
An Interesting Pony Ride Through Greece
Monastery OF MegaspeIeon.


"Grecian journeys" was the subject
of the fourth of Mr.. Burton Holmes
lectures on travel at Association Hall,
last evening. The route was chiefly
through the country. There was a great
variety of pretty views, and a number
Of surprises both for eyes and for the
ears. Probably the most exciting in
cident of the tour was the ascent to
the secluded monastery of Megaspe-
leon, away off in the mountains, and
perched up on the precipitous side of
cliff. The scenery was often interest
ing elsewhere, and the types of the peo-
pie claimed attention, but there was
nothing more striking than this grand
old rookery and these strange old
monks, with their flowing white boards
and their sleepy cOntentment.
Mr.. Holmes gave a suggestive ac-
count Of Schliemann's discoveries at
Mycenae, and there were photographs
to show the golden glories of the royal
museum where Settlements treas
ures are now stored. Where this dis
coverer has the advantage of his crit
les is in the fact that, while he has
name for the king and people to whom
these costly trinkets belonged. the
other Psychologists can suggest no
names for them at all. Mr. Holmes de-
scriptions We're entertaining, but why
does he call Aegina, "Edg -ina?"
There was the usual attractive dis
play Of motion pictures. The next and
final lectures in this admirable course
will be given next Friday evening; sub

CONSOLIDATION.
Baltimore and Brooklyn to
Join Forces.

New York, Dec. 16,-That something of
"a startling nature was to be sprung dur
ing the meeting of the National Ease Ball
League which has been in session for the
last four days at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
was an open secret and today, when the
announcement was made that the Brook
Ign and Baltimore Clubs had amalga-
mated no one was surprised.
By the terms of the amaIgamation the
respective clubs shall pool all gains and
losses. Those who figure a profit on the
Brooklyn end say that this will more than
counter-balance the Baltimore losses next
October.
Many persons who claim to have inside
information are of the opinion that there
will be two leagues of eight clubs each
under the governing hand of the National
League by next season. They say that
the twelve club schedule has been found
to be unwiedy; that Il ten club circuit
would prove quite as different a PROPOSE
ton; that eight Of the leading clubs
should be brought together in major
league, and the four remaining should
form the new clubs of a minor league.
Under the ten-year agreement which
mas yet two years to run, no club can re-
sign, nor can 1t be forced out of the
league except by unanimous vote With
cleveland going to st. Louis and the
Louisville Club purchased by the League.
ten clubs would still remain, and of these
It might be possible that Washington and
Baltimore would for a financial consid-
GRAFTON drop into minor league.
That the magnates are unwilling to buy
out any club ana saddle the league with
a heavy debt is generally believed and
those who urge the double league of eight
teams each claim that it is the only pos
sible and practicable solution Of the
twelve club schedule. The matter has
not been discussed al any Of the sessions
thus far, but it may be taken up tomor-
row.

ternational agents of he great Amerl-

ence of the Philippine nation as soon
as it's triumph was attained.
The protest then recites how Admiral
Dewey, "by numerous acts is alleged
to have recognized the autonomist
sovereignty of the natives" and in pic
turesque language calls for the fulfil
ment of these promises and a fulfill
ment "of the solemn declaration made
by the illustrious William Mckinley
that, on going to war, he was not guild
ed by the intention Of ar extension of
territory, but only BY the principles Of
humanity, by the duty of liberating
tyrannized peoples, and by the desire
to proclaim the unalienable rights, with
their sovereignty, Of the countries re-
leased from the woke of Spain
