Manila, Feb. 20.-The guard of the

insurgents. who were dressed in citi-
zens' clothes and in hiding in bamboo
thicket. The Americans were prepared,

stood their ground for a short time and
then fled. Our troops drove them to-

Captain A. H. Hollingsworth, Lieu

There is practically nothing new in
the situation here. The troops are in
good shape physically and continue
cheerful after the castigations admins
tered to the insurgents in the last few
weeks. Prices Of provisions here have
been trebled. Meat is selling at 81 a
pound, and eggs are 10 cents each. No

no danger of a famine. as quantities of
provisions are being imported from

FINANCE AND TRADE.


Despite the Dewey, Demonstration,
Transaetions Are Very Heavy. sG
New York, Oct. 7.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says: The
grand demonstration in honor of Adj
miral Dewey effectually stopped BUSH
ness Of most kinds for two days at
the chief city of the country, and yet
the remaining transactions of the week
would have excited wonder year ago.
At New York, where the interruption
was greatest, payments through clear
ing houses exceeded $1,059, 200, 900 in
four business days, were never before
approached. and outside New York the
gain reflects great expansion in the
volume of that kind of business which
does not depend on exchanges. 1t has
been week Of remarkable monetary
changes here and elsewhere. The
Bank Of England raised it's rate l
per cent before and one-half per cent
more after its weekly statement, from
81 to per cent, with the hope that
the outgo to New York might be
checked. but the Bank of Germany lost
also and raised its rate to per cent,
and the Bank of France lost heavily.
While high rates were paid here for
money required in speculation, no
stringency emharrasses any branch Of
legitimate business, and the stock mar
ket has held up surprisingly.

Washington, Oct. 7.--Notiflcatisn
-was sent by cable yesterday to both
General Otis and Admiral Watson q
Manila Of the intention of the navy d.
partment to reinforce the navy in the
Philippines to q considerable extent,
and stating that the Brooklyn and sew
eral other vessels would be dispatched
at the earliest possible moment to the
islands. So far the only orders H.
sued are to the Brooklyn, the Mask

but in the course Of q few weeks others
will be added to the list in the shape
of some of the smaller gunboats. Tbs
navy department is not yet aware Of
the use to which Admiral Watson and
General Otis will put this force, but
undoubtedly 1t Is the purpose to make
a supreme effort to crush the insur-
rection at an early day.
Admaral Dewey regarded 1t as ~
sential that the insurgents should b
cut of from the bOuntiful supplies
they have been receiving through the
ports which have not yet been closed,
and he expressed the greatest satis-
faction at the information contained
in the latest Manila advices to the Of
feet that the insurgents were in straits
to secure food. pointing out that this
presaged an early collapse Of their re-
sistance IL the avenues were kept
closed against further supplies.

London, Oct. IA johannesburg
dispatch says: Thousands Of natives
have invaded the town, and yesterday
the authorities decided to march them
under escort out of the country. Thurs
day night two natives entered cloth
ing store kept by Jew and stabbed
the proprietor in the neck, severins
his windpipe. Two Jewish storekeep-
ers in the East Rand have been muir

The war commission, acting under
the governments Instructions, yester-
day issued an advice to shopkeepers
to remove the barricades they have
created. on the ground that the gov
ernment's guarantee of protection
ought to be sufficient.
There has been almost complete
dearth of news from South Africa. The
few dispatches received recording mill
tary movements at various points tend
to confirm the belief that President
Kruger will restrain any forward
movement by the Beers unless they
are fired uEon or war is actually de-
clared. 1t is now practically certain
that parliament will meet on Oct. II.
Reserves will be summoned today In
sufficient number to bring up war
strength to the regiments warned to

THAT General Cronje has sent a mes
sage to the camp of the imperial troops
that he will cross the border at the
first shot fired in Natal.
The Cape Town correspondent OF
The Daily Mail says: A sensation has
been caused here by the report that
the Free State government has COM
mandeered 500 tons of coal belonging
to the Cape government, which was
traversing the Free State. Such a
seizure would naturally be regarded as
an act of war. J. w. Sauer, the COM
missioner Of public works, when ques-
toned in the assembly regarding the
matter, professed ignorance, but 1t is
asserted that the report was tele-
graphed to the Cape ministry early
in the day.
Some surprise is manifested over the
report that large number of British
troops are to be landed here instead
of at Durham. This is taken to signify
that the Transvaal will be invaded
from the west, and not from Natal.

Peoria, Ills, Oct. 7.-General Albert
D. Shaw, of New York, commander
in-chief of the G. A. r., was in the
presidents party yesterday, and spoke
highly of the feeling displayed toward
the organization which he represents.
THE men who marched with Grant

considered by the people of Peoria as
worthy of the first place in the parade,
and the commander-in-chief of the vet
Grams was accorded the place of honor
beside the president, on the stand, dur
ing the exercises. This shows that the
hearts of the mighty west, which re-
sponded to the late call to arms with
an alacrity second to no other section,
still beats high at the recollection of
the deeds wrought by the soldiers Of
the civil war"

whole force turned to greet them.
Work was suspended, whistles were

Of the Atabara bridge by the Pencoyd
company has attracted the attention
of the world. though Superintendent
Wennas remarked that he did not re-

He said that IL he could have had u

him In the erection of the bridge, In
stead of the convicts, the only help
available. he could have finished the
work even quicker than 1t was done.
The English government wanted a
steel bridge built for its military road
in Egypt, and wanted It built in a
hurry. No English or European con-
structors could he found with capacity
or sufficient energetic action to I'M
dertake the work, and the Pencoyd
company took the contract on Feb.
6 last. The structural parts of the
seven spans, each leo feet long, weigh
Ing $50 tons, and the cylinder caps,
weighing ga tons, were rapidly pre-
pared and were shipped from New
York April 20. The material arrived
at its destination in the latter part Of
May. superintendent Wennas and his
seven skilled assistants were on hand,
and in two months after their arrival
the completed structure was turned
over to the English government, an
almost unprecedented piece of en-
cheering enterprise.

DYNAMITE PILLS,

why Your Doctor Writes Prescrfp-
tions In Obscure Latin.
"What the eye doesn't see the heart
doesn't grieve over" This old, old saw
is surely most applicable to the mysteries
of modern pharmacy.
The ACCESSIBILITY of physicians prescrip'
lions being couchcd in Latin has frequent
ly been questioned but the fact that in
many cases medicines of the highest val
lie would be refused by the patient il
once their composition was known is a
great point in favor of the present prac-
tice.
Many patient, for instance, would
probably gasp at his doctor prescribing
to him dynamite as a remedy in heart
disease. Dynamite is simply porous clay
saturated with nitroglycerin, and this
same nitroglycerin is freely prescribed in
cases of that prevalent disease of old age,
'angina pectoris.'
Pure venom Of the rattlesnake is being
used by eminent practitioners in severe
cases of scarlet fever.
Dried bullocks' blood mixed with glyc-
erin and brandy or simply powdered Is
one of the latest additions to the physi-
clans armament.
The following prescription would prob
ably be accepted by most of us rs hay
ing respectable appearance about 1t
and when dispensed would probably be
taken in most blissful innocence:

and has only been introduced during the
past few years.
Among other animal products used In
