troops ADVANCING.
Manila, Nov. 12-1O a. m.-General
Macarthur and General Lawton are
closing in on Tarlac Communication
with distant points is impossible except
by means Of the government wire,
which is crowded with official busi-
ness.
General Macarthur took Bamban
yesterday. This Is supposed to be the
strongest position held by the Filipinos
except Tarlac. The brief accounts Of
the engagement received indicate that
the rebels fought according to their re-
cent tactics, retreating after firing q
few vOlleys.
One officer of the Thirty-sixth regi-
ment is the only American reported
killed. General Macarthur began his
advance at daylight. Colonel Smith,
with the Seventeenth regiment on the
right, Major Bells command and the
Thirty-siXth on the left, and the Ninth
in the center. Colonel Smith encoun-
tered n small force at 6 o'clock, easily
dispensing the rebels.
Major Bell secured a position on the
mountain, from which he poured an
entilading fire from rifles and Hotch-
kiss guns on the line of the enemy
The Filipinos stood the fire for twenty
minutes and then retreated to the
mountains. General Macarthur enter
ed Bamban at 10 o'clock and Colonel
Smith occupied Capas, the first town
beyond.
General Lawton's headquarters are
still at Cabanatuan.
The Americans are continuing their
advance so rapidly that the insurgents
have not the time necessary to destroy
the railroad.
Aguinaldo, the elusive chief of the
Filipino rebels, has succeeded again in
escaping from the American forces
sent against him. General Wheaton's
division had landed at Lingayen. to
move south, while Generals Lawton
and Young moved north from Angeles,
the plan being to crush Aguinaldo, who
was supposed to be at Bayambang
near Lingayen, between the two forces.
But the rebel slipped away into the
mountains. Lawtons troops reached
Tarlac yesterday. the commander be-
ing at Cabanatuan, while Young is
moving from Mabalacot.

VIII Examine Route Rejected by De Lessep.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 14.-The
United States gunboat Scorpion arriv-
ed here yesterday, conveying the
United States commission dispatched
for the purpose of surveying the sug-
gested new Colombia canal route be-
tween Caledonia bay and the gulf Of
San Miguel for sea level waterway,
necessitating only twenty-siX miles of
actual canal This Is the originally
selected route which was rejected in
favor of the De Lesseps Colon Panama
route. on the ground that the latter al
ready possessed railroad transporta-
tion and other facilities, while the for
mer travcrsed the alleged most deadly
mnlarial district on the face of the
earth, including the extensive swamp
areas rendered untenabc by men on
account of mosquitoes and other ven
omous tropical pests.

BACTERIA IN WATER.
DR.. Twining of Fresno, speaking from
a bacteriological standpoint, said that
the butter which contained the least
amount of water was the best. in that
it allowed less chance for the growth
of bacteria. He said however that
brine and cold storage would prevent
rapid multiplication of bacteria germs.
Brine, unless strong, would not pre-
vent development Of germs, but would
make them slower of DEVELOPMENT.
Butter in tins for foreign shipment. he
said, was an entirely different PROPOSE
ton from butter kept in cold storage.
He said that bacteria of some kinds.
would develop in butter fat and the
brine used to preserve it. The ripening
of cream, he said, was merely bacterial
action.
Mr. Swerein said that while he had
had no analysis of butter made, he had
worked on the theory that butter
churned and worked at a low tempera-
ture would carry less water than other
churned and worked at a high temper
ature.

The exhibits and tests of horses of all
work, of draught horses, of brood
mares, and their families of colts. of
imported and home raised stall
ions, jacks, jennets and mules, have
always been conspicuous and foremost
interests at these fairs, and in no other
direction has the board done more than
in the stimulation of the raising OF
stock of this order.
Premiums have been repeatedly CIV
en- for model farms for model examples
of soil cultivation along varying lines.
For dairying machinery devices and
processes, the State Fair has always
been liberal and diligent in encourage
ment, and SO too in encouraging prac-
tical exemplification of the claims Of
inventors in improved agricultural ma
chinery.

the people to which the shipment was
to go. He spoke of the Chinese dragon.
and intimated that the picture of a
dragon placed on tins destined for
Chinese markets might make the pro-
duct popular. Consuls' reports, he
said, We're being received at Washing
ton, and would in short time be pub
lished.
EAR TAGS.
Judge J. w. Snowfall recommended
the marking of stock by ear tags OF
aluminium, such as were used by Hon.
John Boggs during his lifetime. He
thought that by having such a ready
method of tracing the stock, better re-
suits might be had in the matter Of
dairy products.
Secretary Watson requested opinions
as to which would be the better method
or securing hard, dry butter for ex-
port, and whether it was necessary to
secure a dry as we'll as a hard butter
for expectation.
William Johnston thought the first
thing to be considered was the COW.
next the food and care of the animal,
and lastly, the temperature and mois-
ture of the atmosphere
In answer to a question by President
Martin, Mr. Vanderbilt, agent of the
State Dairy Bureau, said that most of
the analyses made by the State Bureau
of imported buffers showed that most
of them contained oleomargarine
A CALIFORNIA STANDARD.
Mr. Martin said he had studied the
matter and was inclined to believe that
California dairymen should blaze out
a path OF their own and put such a
brand of butter on the market as
would establish State record, and not
try to ape French, Belgian or Danish
products. He advised making Cali
fornia brand of butter, and making 1t
so pure that in time the label would
insure not only a ready sale but the
highest prices. The State had, he said,
made its record on fruit and other pro-
ducts, and he felt that the dairymen
of the State could by their efforts open
the markets of the world to uniform
California brand.
WATER IN BUTTER.
Mr.. Peoples, in reply to a question
by Secretary Watson, said that in San
highest and an article containing a low
per cent. of water, had been scored
highest, and an article containing a low
per cent. of water had been scored low
est. The scorer was, he said, COM
petent judge, and held that a firm,
solid butter which would retain water
was the best article, the water acting
as brine to keep the article sweet.
Personally he knew little about the
matter.
Professor Pearson stated that chem
ical analyses of buffers in London had
showed that the butter made in this
country contained no more water than
that produced in other countries, but

President Martin inquired of Profess
sor Pearson whether or not the Orien-
talists, like the English, required but
ter of lighter color than that produced
in this State.
Professor Pearson said it was a ques-
tion of individual markets some desir-
ing a light, and others a highly col
ored article. Until the Government had
secured information respecting the re-
quirements of the individual markets
he could give no definite information.
What the Government desired was that
every pound of butter shipped should
be a genuine article, and not second
class article such as had heretofore
been sent abroad.
Professor Pearson spoke of the tins
to be used in supplying Oriental mar
kets. 1t had been found, he said, that
butter put up in one and in one-half
pound tins was best. He suggested,
from reports of Consuls, that lacquered
tins be used, and that the labels used
