A Vessel Bearing the Spanish Flag
May Not Go After Prisoners.

MANILA, September 81, 9:15 a. H.
The American authorities have declin-
ed the request Of Gen. Jaramilla, the
Spanish officer who is settling Spain S
military affairs in the Philippine is
lands, to send a vessel under the Span
ish flag to collect the Spanish prison
ers at insurgent ports as stipulated by
the Filipinos on the ground that the
ports are closed, that such a step there
fore would be unlawful and because
they declined to accept the Filipino's
dictation. The authorities are ready
to send an American vessel. The
Spanish commission, therefore, will re-
turn to the insurgent lines and en-
deavor to effect an arrangement for
the delivery of the prisoners on board
an American vessel.
Aguinaldo has issued a statement
saying the warllike activity of the
Americans has prevented the concen-
tration of the prisoners as intended,

Draw Amusement From Admiral Dewey's
Premature Homecoming.

premature Homecoming.
LONDON. September 27.-The even
ing papers express amusement at Adj
miral Dewey's premature arrival at
New York The st. James Gazette
says:
Admiral Dewey must have heard ru-
mors of the reception preparing tor
him and very probably drew his own
conclusions as to their appropriateness.
Whatever the nation, which is totally
unaccustomed to naval victories over
an alien race may think Of the battle
Of Manila, the Admiral who directed
those very business-like and thorough
operations can have no illusions as to
the calibre Of the foe which was unable
to prevent him taking an overwhelm-
ing advantage. The New Workers were
caught unprepared as were the Span
iards at Cavite. Admiral Dewey is a
smart officer"

A GOOD AND SIMPLE TOOTH pow
DER.

In order to keep the teeth in good
condition absolute cleanliness is neces-
sary, and they should be brushed night
and morning with some good powder.
Here is an excellent one: Take half
an ounce each of powdered orris root
and prepared chalk, and add to them
one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda.
Mix thoroughly. The soda acts as an
antacid and neutralizes the acids Of the
mouth. while the chalk and orris are
gritty enough to remove any particles
of food which may cling to the teeth.
