MORE DROWNED THAN KILLED
Water More Dangerous to Soldiers
in Luzon Than Filipino
Bullets.

MANILA, Sept. 4.-iVa San Francisco,
Oct. 1O.)-The army in Luzon has lest more
men during the last fortnight by drowning
than by bullets. All the little streams which
in dry weather were creeks have become
swift, wide rivers with unexpected aud
treacherous currents and eddies Ten
colored soldiers of the Twenty fourth in
tantry werc drowned at the Mariquina river
on the 22d of August in drift exactly
duplicating the loss OF five soldiers in the
Pasis river. Soldiers are conveyed across
streams on bamboo RATS whose motive power
is rope stretched between the banks. In
both cases the ropes broke the RATS were
overturned and part of the soldiers, weighted
down with guns, haversaeks and heavy am
munition belts, were unable to reach the
shore. Private j. E. Poole of the Twenty
eighth lost his life in attempting to rescue
his comrades. The last of the bodies of the
ten soldiers were recovered in the river
this week and all have been buried with
military honors.
Four men of the Third infantry stationed

Larson was the hero OF this accident. He
was drowned in brave effort to save others.
Lieutenant Chauncey B. Humphreys rescued
several of his men by great efforts and was
himself nearly drowned. The regiment
started from Quingua at 3 o'clock in the
morning and swan the BSsbag river carry
Ing their guns, 140 rounds of ammunition
and haversacks. The river is wide and was
fordable, but the current had become so
swift that many were carried off their feet.
Seventeen were compelled to drop their
guns to get across.
Corporal Larson had reached the farther
shore when he heard the cries of the drown
ing men. He plunged back and carried one
man Of his company to safety and turned
back a second time. He was heard to say:
Il don't think can make it, but will try
He reached midstream and was struggling to

off their shoes before crossing and marched
and fought all day in their socks, a most
uncomfortable experience in the jungle
country.
T. j. Martens of Leavenworth, Kan, a
private of the Twentieth infantry, was
drowned in the Pasig river on the 23d. He
was boarding schooner in front of the
office Of the captain of the port when a rope

into the river. He rose only once, but as
no help could reach him, disappeared.

CITY FINANCES on A CASH BASIS.

Meaning of Supreme Court Decision
In the PhiIlips-Reed Case.
The announcement contained in the tele-
graphic dispatches that the supreme court
had handed down its decision in the Phil
lips Reed case Affirming the ruling of Judge
Walter /. Smith OF the district court was
received with much satisfaction at the city
hall yesterday as 1t means that the finances
Of the municipality can soon be placed on
a cash basis. The decision of the supreme
court, which practically reverses its former
ruling, is to the effect that the old or "out-
standing warrants have precedence over
the warrants issued for current expenses
and must be paid in the order of their
priority.
The suit in which the supreme court now
hands down its decision is the second OF
the same title and character brought to
determine the question OF the priority OF
the old as between the current warrants
The suit was originally commenced in the
district court in this city in April, 1898
N. C. Phillips being the plaintiff and Brooks
Reed, city treasurer. the defendant. The
suit was to enforce the payment of war
rant on the general fund issued for a cur
rent expense OF the city and WAS based
upon the section OF the code OF 1897 requir-
ing all cities 10 go on cash basis. This
law was based upon statute enacted In
1888 and differed from that statute in but
one respect; the latter excepted from the
operation Of the law all cities organized
as cities OF the frst class subsequent to
1881. Council Bluffs was not organized as
city of the first class until 1882 and there
fore the cash basis law was not applicable
to it until the time when the code OF 1887
went into effect Therefore. when the sui
was brought the city treasurer demurreC

A SYSTEM TORN DOWN
FROM CATARRH is EASILY BUILT
UP BY THE RIGHT REMEDY.

No disease is 20 menaciug to the general
health as catarrh. Sleep is disturbed and
broken by the stopping up OF the nose; thus
preventing you from breathing freely; con-
tinuous hacking and coughing Is kept up;
the stomach becomes deranged and the
whole system is poisoned and torn down by
the continuous absorption of mucus passing
from the throat into the stomach.
People suffering from catarrh can find no
remedy so pure and efhcacious as Gauss
Catarrh Tablets. They are taken Internally
and cure because they contain the elements
essential to restore the diseased membranes
to their healthy state and the invigorating
power to eliminate all noxlous matter from
the system.
Gauss Catarrh Tablets are sold by all
druggists or will be sent by mail postpaid
