consists of the inhalations of formal
dchyde vapor, transported directly
through the tissues by the aid of light
tension static electricity. He is estab-
fishing a sapitarium at Peliin, ILL.,, and
clinics at New York, Chicago and Los

isreceiving considerable attention from
those interested in the artillery arm of
the service is the shortage Of men to
care for the constantly increasing
number Of guns in the coast defenses.
This question may have considerable
bearing upon whether call for

Tense. 1t is pointed out by those IA

Gen. Lawton Has Becn Dispatched 10 Cap
ture Morong Sultan Of Bulu Pro-
pairing to Fight Americans.

Washington, June Gin dispatciing
Gen. Lawton TO capture Morong Maj.
Gen. Otis is understood to have the
purpose to destroy or drive back the
strong force OF insurgents which have
been peiating from that section
against the Pasig river line. There Is
no expectation here that Lawton's col
umn will go fur from rivers or lakes
upon which supplies can he carried
to him. The authorities appreci-
ate the extreme difficulty Of n cam
paign during the rainy season
and all they expect is that the
American forces will make short
incursions into the enemy's country,
breaking up any large organizations
which may establish themselves in the
vicinity Of Manila, especially near
Laguna de Bay. 1t is apparent from
the line which Lawton is following
and the dispatch of the Washington
troops to Morong that 1t is still hoped
to get the insurgents between that
point, Taytny and Antipolo and the
lake hemmed in SO that they can be
destroyed or captured.
