WORK OF HONG KONG JUNTA
Late Negroes Uprising Was Promoted
bV That Outfit.

Washington, Dec. 19.-General Otis
cabled the war department as follows:
Information from Hong Kong and
Negroes shows tht the late Negroes up
risings was the work of the Hong Kong
junta, three junta agents visited Negros
in the latter part of November and took
in 300 Tagalos from Panay and much
junta literature, which they circulated.
They announced great victories in Luzon.
that insurgent independence would be
recognized soon by the United States. and
warned Negros Of punishment in store
and directed an uprising throughout the
island for December 2. The result was
gathering of few hundred of the ignor-
ant masses and robbers and consequent
fright of the better element. General
Smith has imposed on the towns con-
cerned fine to be paid into the general
treasury. He reports the guilt of two
priests, and says American clergymen
are needed; that Negroes would be easily
controlled If left to itself. but the natives
fear Tagalo vengeance when Aguinaldo
fully establishes himself by driving the
Americans out of Luzon. The most i'm
probable statements are believed by
ignorant natives"

CarbOlic Acid
AS A GERM DESTROYER
Made from the Fresh Green Leaves of
the Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree.
NO DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS
The Most Perfect Skin and Toilet Soap
Ever Manufactured.
Harmless, Fragrant, Stimulating.

That soap could be manufactured
without the use of fats and oils COM
bined with an alkali has been a great
surprise TO chemists. the base Of all
soaps from the cheapest laundry to the
finest toilet having always been made in
this way. However, their surprise was
not so great as the pleasure of the NELL
cal profession when it was found that a
perfect soap could be made from the
fresh green leaves of the Tasmanian Blue
Gum Tree: these leaves furnishing a FRO
duct, which, although three times strong
er than carbolic acid as a germicide. Is
perfectly harmless. For years these
leaves have been the only cure known 70
the natives of Tasmania for skin dis
eases, wounds ETC., and are today used
in the principal skin disease hospitals of
Europe, to the exclusion of al other
remedies. Now that it is possible to in
corporate them in a toilet soap and yet
retain all their medicinal qualities, skin
diseases can be treated more success
fully than before, application of the med
icant being made in this way without the
use of ointment which naturally clogs the
pores Of the skin.

to the hills, so the force camped for the
night EARLY in the morning they were
on the march. The company c ietaeh-

natives brought up the rear. For three
miles they advanced along narrow road,
with the sea on one side and high cliffs
on the other. Finally they were compelled
to enter a rocky pass, approaching it
across bridge so narrow that they were
compelled to march two abreast. Just
as they entered the pass there was 4
great explosion almost in their faces and
they were confronted by a shower of soft
earth. The insurgents had planted a
gunpowder mine TO annihilate the party.

Two Americans and five natives fell at
the first volley, which came from very
short range. The commander of the po-
lice was hit in the hand and a pair Of
field glasses which he carried was shat
tered. The police were thrown into con-
fusion and after moment they fell back
and began to run, leaving the few Amer
leans to bear the attack. This the men
of the Sixth did bravely. They retired
in good order, carrying their dead and
wounded and returning the insurgent fire
with such effect that eighteen Of the
enemy were killed. The party returned
to Maulbaul and re-embarked for Cebu
where they arrived the following day
with their dead and wounded. The con-
duct of the native police found some ex-
cuse in their poor equipment.

SURE CURE FOR GROUP
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use
Without a Failure.

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign OF
the approach of an attack Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. It is used in
many thousand homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of sin

effectual. No other preparation can show
such a record-twenty-five years constant
