HAVE AGREED SCATTER.
Filipinos Will Hereafter Follow Guer-
rilla Methods.

FilipinOs Will Hereafter Follow Guer-
-rilla Methods.
MANILA. Nov. 27.-The last Filipino
council of war was held by the re-
treating leaders at Bayamban on Nov.
18th in the house now occupied by Gen
eral Macarthur. It was attended by
Aguinaldo. Pho del Pillar, Garcia, Ale
janderino and some members Of the
so-called cabinet. Information has
reached General Macarthur from
several sources to the effect that the
council recognized the futility of at.
tempting further resistance to the
Americans with united forces and
agreed that the Filipino troops should
scatter and should hereafter follow
guerrilla methods. The desperate stu
alton of the generals with their ap-
proximate forces is as follows:
General Conception, with $40 men, in
New Egija provinces; General Maca-
bolos, with 1926 men, at Binaca; General
Pho del Pillar, with 800 men, northeast
of Malolos; General Aquino, with 500
men, at Arayat; General Mascardo.
with 1,1O0 men, west of Angeles, and
the largest force. probably under Gen
eral Trias, in Cavite province.
Reports of ambuscades and skir.
mishes come from every section of tine
country along the railways. Those
districts seem to be filled with small
bands.
Friends of Americans Killed.
Five Filipinos ambushed an Ameri-
can surgeon near Capas. He shot one
and the rest fled. At Malasiqui the
officials who welcomed the Americans
were murdered. This was the only
railroad town which the Americans did
not garrison and on the night the troops
withdrew band of insurgents entered,
dragged Antonio Mejia, president OF
the town, into the street and cut his
throat. The murderers then assassi-
mated the vice president and five mem
hers Of the town council in the same
manner and told the frightened natives
who witnessed the slaughter to spread
the news that similar fate awaited all
friends Of the Americans. Il
The mayor of San Carlos, who rode
in the carriage with General Mac.
Arthur and Colonel Bell when the
Americans entered the town amid the
cheers Of the people, was murdered the
next night.

a cessation Of war news. AS yet the
war office has not received Lord Me-
thuens detailed list Of casualties at
Gras Pan, nor is any information at
hand regarding the whereabouts of the
Ninth Lancers who were sent in pur-
suit of the Beers from Gras Pan. The
Daily Mail says that a private tele-
gram announces the Lancers are still
scouting ahead of Methuen's advancing
column, but as he announced Sunday
that he was giving his men days rest
this is hardly possible. Indeed, the
greatest anxiety is felt and more espe.
cially in view of the fact that Berlin
journal, The Deutschewarte, which
regularly prints Boer communications,
announced before it could have been
ascertained from British sources that
the naval brigade lost 100 men at Gras
Pan and that the Ninth Lancers were
captured.

1t is understood the government has
decided to proceed Immediately with
the mobilization and embarkation Of q

General Hildyard's achievement at
Beacon Hill is beginning to be recog-
nized as one of the best things the CAM
paign has yet shown, as it has relieved
the tension of the situation in Natal
and has brought the relief Of Lady
smith within measurable distance.
General Butler appears to be conf.
dent of Lord Methuen's ability and is
devoting all his energy to Ladysmith.
An attempt will be made, presumably,
to reach Colenso in time to cut off the
retreat Of the Beers from Weenen over
the Tugela river. 1t is feared, how
ever, that the enemy will get there first
and destroy the bridge. The bridge at
Frere has been rendered useless, two
immense spans being totally destroyed.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-A dispatch has
been received here from General Bull.,
giving a list of casualties among the
troops engaged in what was hitherto
known as the battle of Gras Pan but
which is now officially designated the
battle of Enslin. 1t proves. as antici-
pated. that the British success was
heavily bought. The losses announced |
added the naval brigade casualties pre-
viously notified, makes a grand total
of 1913 as the cost Of General Methuen's )
second battle. The Yorkshires, ap-
parently. bore with the naval brigade
the brunt of the fighting, as there were.
i'll addition to officers. 4S of the rank
and file killed, wounded and missing
The fact that the list contains the
casualties of the Ninth Lanciers seems
to dispose of the fears that the cavalry
was surrounded and captured, espe-
cially as none of the Lancers are re-
ported missing.
Monopolixing tho Cable.
Apparently the government is monop-
olizing the single cable working to
South Africa. as up to O'clock no news
from the seat of war has been made
public, with the exception of General
Buffers dispatch. This is particularly
tantalizing at the present crucial mo-
ment. While the latest news is, Sof II
fairly -eassaring character, from the
British view point, much Of it is as
sumed to be true ON sufficient evidence.
For instance, the reported capture of
Honey Nest Kloof, of which there is
no confirmation, while the stories of
the rapid retirement of the Beers in
Natal must be received with caution.
The fact appears to be that the British
scouts have lost touch of the burghers,
portions of whose force, after with
drawing from the reach of observation.
may, it is claimed, make detour with
the object of interrupting the British
line of communication. Sharp fighting
may be expected at any time on the
southern frontier. Possibly General
Gatacre's first battle will be in the
rough passes of the Storm berg noun
tains.
The particular service squadron of
the British feet has been ordered to
proceed to Gibraltar Dec. 5. 1t will
probably replace the channel squadron,
which is coming home for Christmas
leave.
French Officers Refused Leave.
1t is said that the French cabinet has
instructed the minister of war to refuse
all officers leave to go abroad, and that
the officers absenting themselves in or
der to go to the Transvaal will do so at
the risk of dismissal.
A corrected list of the British casual
ties at Gras Pan shows that Flag Cap
tain Reginald G. Prothero of the Doris
and Lieutenant of Marines Walter I.
=. Jones, also of the Doris, previously
reported wounded, were killed.
The additional casualties telegraphed
by General Butler appear to be the first
sintimation Of the actions of General
Aethuen's forces which have not yet
been reported. AS the Ninth Lancers
participated in a reconnaissance on Sun
day. they must have safely returned
from the pursuit of the Beers after the
battle of Gras Pan.

Simple Treatment for RouD.

If your fowls are affected with roup
/ can recommend the following treat
ment as an infallible remedy: Go to
your druggist and purchase five or ten
cents worth of peroxide of hydrogen.
If the affected birds nostrils are
stopped up, clean them out, and with
a small syringe inject some of TIE
hydrogen into them; also swab the
throat with a feather saturated with
the hydrogen. Then take a small cloth
wet in the hydrogen and battle the
head. Repeat this treatment two or
three times daily until the fowl is cured
which it will be in two or three days,
except in cases of long standing. Ihave
cured chickens that had the roup so
badly that their tongues were swollen
so that they were forced to hold their
beaks open.-Agricultura Epitomist

PROGRESS.

With time, comes progress and ad-
vancement in all lines of successfully
conducted enterprises. Success comes
to those only who have goods with
superior merit and a reputation. In
the manufacture of laundry starch for
the last quarter of a century j. C.
Hubinger has been the peer of all
others and to-day is placing on the
market the finest laundry starch ever
offered the public under our new and
original method.
Ask your grocer for coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two large 10 cent packages of his new
starch, RED CROSS, TRADE MARK
brand, also two of the children's
Shakespeare pictures painted in twelve
beautiful colors as natural as life, or the
Twentieth Century Girl Calendar, all
absolutely free.
All grocers are authorized to give ten
large packages of RED CROSS STARCH,
with twenty of the Shakespeare pic
lures or ten of the Twentieth Century
Girl Calendars, to the first five purchas-
ers of the Endless Starch Chain Book.
This is one of the grandest offers ever
made to introduce the RED CROSS
laundry starch, j. c. Hubinger's latest
invention.

discovery, which he considers the
browning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch Cred Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but 5 cents two large
10c packages Of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in IL
beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight Shakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-views alone easily worth
$1.O0. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture OF
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested
street railways, electric lighting plants
and the Mississippi Valley Telephone
Co., with 10000 telephone subscribers
in Minneapolis and st. Paul-nor will
his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keokuk home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, be is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by bust
ness or public cares.

What Subs0iIing Does.

Moisture may be retained in the soil
by subsoiling, blowing, narrowing,
cultivating, mulching, rolling and by
the addition of humus or decayed veg
etable matter. Subsoiling increases the
depth of clayey and compact soils and
allows more water to enter them in
stead of running off on the surface.
Subsoiling is thus an important means
of preventing washing, and it also en-
ables the roots to penetrate deeper,
thus cteasing the feeding area. Both
spring ahd fall subsoiling are of advsn-
tage on a stiff, heavy land.

of stout wire rope, c, hung from the

out of the way when the house is be-
ing cleaned and they also can be scraped
off and washed with lime, either with a
brush or spray pump. If both house
and roosts are whitewashed frequent
ly the filth will be lessened. A spray
pump is excellent to use for this white

EARLY AND LATE CORN.
Farmers Should Plant Both Kinds
and Turn the Live stock
Into the Fields.

Farmers should plant corn both early
and late, some kind of flint corn that
will ripen early, planting from one to
ten acres according to the amount OF
stock kept, in place convenient to the
yard so the cattle and hogs can be
turned in on it. Then there should be
another piece to turn into when this is
eaten down. This may seem like
slovenly way of doing, but it should be
remembered the husking of the corn is
the most expensive part of growing the
crop. 1t costs from three to five cents
per bushel to husk and put it in the
crib and then it has to be shoveled out
again. Of course part of the corn Will
have to be husked to be fed later on in
good yard, for here is where great part
of the profit comes in. Some may think
it costs too much to build fences to keep
stock in the corn fields, but good fence
will last at least Is years. The stock can
be turned in the field just as soon as the
corn begins to glaze. Stock fed in this
way will gain faster than when fed dry
corn, but care should be taken not to
leave them in the field too long at first.
They should not be turned into a field
of green corn in poor condition or the
result might be damaging and the prof
its from feeding in this way lost. When
the corn is in proper condition to cut
part of the crop should be cut, either
with a machine or by hand, and shocked
nicely in the field to be fed later with
out husking; this saves labor also, and
makes a nice lot of feed to be fed out in
the winter. There is also good profit
in feeding sheep in the same way, that
is turn them in the corn field in the fall
and cut up corn and feed them through
the winter. Iwintered 100 sheep in that
way last winter and | never had sheep
do so well before. In order to get the
most profit out of corn it is necessary to
save as much labor as possible. There
are many ways of feeding corn at a
profit this time of year. Pastures are
getting short for the dairy COW and If a
little corn that was planted for that
purpose is cut and fed to the cows every
night it will help out the pasture and
also the milk pail. There is no doubt
but what there is more profit in feeding
the corn on the farm if the farmer owns
his farm and manages in the right way,
but a renter on a farm for one year had
better sell his grain and other products.
George Tyler, in Prairie Farmer.
