A Mexico correspondent says Ameri-

Nervous Dyspepsia

MAKE A TEST OF STUART'S DYS-
PERSIA TABLETS.

No trouble is more common O more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having 1t think their nerves are
to blame and surprised that they are
o cured by nerve medicines. The real
sea of the mischief is lost sight Of.
The stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous ~dyspeptics do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor per-
haps any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
STA shows itself not in the stomach SO
much as in nearly every organ. In
some cases the heart p%alpitates and is
irregular; in others the kedneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con
stipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss OF flesh and ap-

INCIDENT OF THE STORM.

One of the most interesting incidents
Of the storm which shows the presence
of mind and pluck Of a woman, Is the
experience a few nights ago of Mrs. J.
E. Holmes OF Iron mountain. Mrs.
Holmes left the Furgeson ranch, neal
Silver Crown to 90 to her home at Iron
Mountain. She lost her way in the
blizzard and was out for two days and
two night. The first night she slept
between the horses and the second
night, she was protected from the ex-
IRENE cold in an old we'll. She had
some provisions in her wagon, or she
would not have survived the storm.
Mrs. Holmes arrived at her home, but
has since been quite ill.-Sun-Leader.

Company c..
Manila, Feb.7, 3:43 p.m.-The Ameri-
cans, as this dispatch is sent, are in
complete control of the situation with
in a radius Of nine miles Of Manila.
Their lines extend to Malabon on the
north. and to P%aranaque on the south,
are fully twenty-five miles long.
While a few detached bodies of the
enemy offer desultory opposition, the
main body of the rebels Is in full re-
treat and utterly routed. OF the hordes
of troops originally drawn up in battle
array against the Americans, fully one-
third are already incapacitated and the
rest are scattered in every direction.
The terrible loss of the rebels may
be gathered from the fact that sixteen
of them were buried in one rice field
on Monday near Pasas and that eighty
seven were Inferred between Peco and
Santana.
The converted river gunboat did ter
rible execution among the rebels,
sweeping both banks of the river with
her gatling guns and her heavy bat
terry. Hundreds of Filipinos undoubt-
eddy crawled into the canebrakes and
died there.
The Americans are working nobly in
their efforts to find the wounded and
are bringing in hundreds of suffering
rebels to the hospitals for treatment.
The natives are unable to understand
the humane motives which prompt the
victors to succor the wounded of the
enemy.
Members of the hospital corps have
made the startling discovery that
there are several women in male attire
and with their hair cropped. among the
dead.
The chief of the Ygorotes, the Fill
Pine natives, who fought so CALAMITY
in the face Of our artillery fire with
their bows and arrows. is in the hospi-
tai with a shattered thigh. He admits
that he never saw modern artillery,
and was ignorant of its effects until
he and his followers met the disas-
trous fire of Sunday morning. The
chief is bitterly incensed against the
Tagalos for placing the Ygorotes in
front of the American battery under
the pretense hat they were sent to oc-
cupy the post Of honor, and he init
mates that the Y~gorotes will avenge
this treachery when the survivors re-
turn north.
1t is regarded as a significant fact
that many of the Filipino officials of
this city disappeared from Manila as
soon as hostilities commenced. Some
of them are supposed to be still hiding
here.
Hundreds of women are pouring in
to Manila from all districts, as the viii
lagos around Manila, as a rule, have
been destroyed by the troops.
The further the Americans extend
their lines, the more the needs of trans
p%ortation increases. The American
commanders have already been COM
PEELED o impress horses and vehicles
on all sides to the inconvenience, Ia
turally, of the civilians. All the public
conveyances, at this writing, have eth
er been impressed or have disappeared
in some n or other. Street car
traffic, however, has been resumed and
the cars are running regularly, though
the streets are almost deserted. There
are a few native stores open and white
flags in the nature of towels, pillow
slips and aprons tied to bamboos,
adorn the windows of natives every
where.

OTIS MAKES A REPORT.

Washington. Feb. THE war de

dispatch from General Otis:
Manila, Feb. 7.-Adutant General,
Washington: The insurgent army
concentrated around Manila from Lu-
zon provinces. numbering over 10000,
possessing several quick firing and
Krupp field guns. A good portion of
the enemy was armed with Mausers Of
latest pattern. The Krupp and a great
many rifles were captured. The in
surgents fired a great quantity of am
munition. There were quite a number
of Spanish soldiers in the i%nsurgent
service who served in the artillery. The
insurgents constructed strong in
trenchments near our lines, mostly in
bamboo thickets. These our men
charged, killing or capturing many OF
the enemy. Our casualties probably
aggregate $50. Full reports will be sent
today.
THE casualties Of the insurgents
were very heavy. We have buried some
500 of their dead and hold 500 prison.
ers. Their loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners are probably 1000. We took
the waterworks pumping station yes
terday, six miles out, after a consider
cradle skirmish with the enemy, which
made no stand. The pumps were dam
aged, but will be working in a week.
I have a number of condensers set up
in the city, which furnish good water.
The troops are in excellent spirits.
Quiet prevails. OILS.
Secretary Alger today sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to General Otis at
Manila:
Accept my best congratulations up
on your magnificent victory OF Sun
day, all the more creditable because
YOU we're not the aggressor.'

cover of darkness, fired from these
same windows yesterday and last even
ing on the American patrols. At 8
o'clock last night there was a general
fusilade in the Quiapo and Binon dis
tricts. The inhabitants of the city
generally believed that a battle was
raging at their doors, lights were ex-
t~inguished inside the dwellings, and a
majority of the people were in a state
of terror. Under the circumstances it
is remarkable that no casualties we're
reported. Several shots were fired
across the river during the excitement.
General Hughes has the interior sit
uation absolutely in hand.
Late yesterday General Hale's bri-
gade advanced and took the water
works at Singalon. Four companies
of the Nebraska regiment and a part Of
the Utah battery, with two field guns
and two HOtchkiss guns met the enemy
on the hill, a half mile out and a sharp
engagement took place, in which the
Nebraskas lost one killed and three
wounded.
DR.. Young, formerly Quartermaster
sergeant in the Third artillery. was
wounded. captured and brutally murd-
cred, and his body, when recovered,
was found to have been horribly mu-
tilated. The F%ilipinos were driven
back. retired in bad order, and carry
ing with them the valves and heads Of
the steam chest and cylinder of the
pumping machinery.
General Overshine's brigade ad-
vanced and took Paranaque, capturing
two field guns. They met with no OPP
position.
General McArthur's division advanc-

enemy r%etreating upon Caloocan.
The Americans now have the steam
er line to Malam, and 600 marines with
four Mamibs have been landed from
the fleet on the beach north of the city.
The Third artillery, on the main
road, and the Utah battery, in a ceme-
terry, covered the advance of the Kan
sas troops.
Among the important points cap
tured was a strong embrasured earth
work within sight of Caloocan.
There was considerable firing from
the upper windows of the houses in the
native quarters of the city Slast night,
but no casualties have beer reported
as the result.
The signal corps were compelled to
run their lines along the firing line dur
ing the fighting and. consequently,
there were frequent Interruptions Of
communication, owing to the cutting
Of the wires, and the signal men were
ordered to kill without any hesitancy
anyone who attempted to interfere
with the lines.
lA%guinaldo, the rebel leader, issued
two proclamations on Saturday and
Sunday. The first declares the Ameri-
cans opened the fight and calls upon
the Filipino congress to suspend the
constitution. The second says:
I'VE have fought our ancient oppres-
sors without arms, and we now trust
to God to defend us against the foreign
foe"
The Nebraskans have recovered the
lost parts of the pumping machinery of
the waterworks, which insures a spec
dy resumption of the water supply of
