THE KISSING BUG.
1t Is No Joke to Those Who Suffer
From Its Caresses.

There has been a lot of newspaper
quipping about the kissing bug, but
the cold fact seems to be that the bite
of the bug lie very serious matter.
The Nevada Post reports several
cases in that town, describing one of
them, that of seven-year-old
girl,-as follows:
1.-The Doctor found the child had
two punctures in the upper lip. Her
body was swollen from her waist up
and was dark red. Her ears were
so badly swollen that they stuck out
straight from the side of her head
Her face and lips were also badly
swollen. The skin on TIE face and
arms and upper portion of her body
was pulled out like she was affected
with nettle rash. The child suffered
intense pain continually from the
time she was bitten. Today she was
somewhat easier, but the swelling
has subsidized but little"
The Post also reports the case of a
boy who was stung last Sunday and
whose lips were so badly swollen
that they had TO be lanced, a table,
spoonful of corruption being extract
ed
The bug is described as brownish
and woolly looking.

United States troops. On their way
TO Manila, were Hospitality entertained
at Malta. The kindness Of the people
OF the island to strangers is not with
them a new virtue. Many centuries
ago soldiers of a great power, guard
ing eminent prisoners, had reason to
ibe grateful for the hospitality there
shown. The earlier visit was the Sc
quence Of a s%hipwreck, and the island
ers, we are told, "kindled a fire" and
received those escaped from the sea
with all humaneness. The two recep-
tons, that Of the first century given
to Paul and his companions, and the
recent manifestation Of friendliness to
Americans, are associated with mo-
mentous periods of history. Lying be-
tween the two events are doings and
undoings without number, but the
Malta Of old and the Malta Of today
are one in readiness to welcome and
to help. The light Of that cheering ire
has shone through the centuries, and
the recent hospitabie greeting will not
be forgotten.

COST OF VAR

Our Bout With Spain Made Us "Dig
UP" $275,OOO,OOO."
Washington, May 8. - An approx
mate calculation places the total ex-
penditures of the treasury on account
of the war with Spain from the begin
ming of the war preparations in March
of last year up to the present time at
$275,OOO,OOO. 1t is expected that the
war expenditure for the remaining
two months of the fiscal year will
bring the total to that date up to about
$3O0,O0O,OOO. 1t is impossible for the
treasury officials to form even q rough
estimate Of what the war will e
tually cost in the pay of increased pen-
sions and miscellaneous charges on the
treasury.

New York, May 3. Suns Manila
special: Gen. Macarthur sent Maj.
Shield and Lieut.. Hayne to the Fill
Pine lines under a white flag with ten
days rations and q supply Of deli
cacies for sixteen American prisoners,
ten of whom, according to Col. Arguel-
les, the Filipino envoy who visited
Gen. Otis the other day, are members
of the Yorktown's boat crew, who,
with Lieut.. Gilmore, were captured
near Baler. The men with the sup
plies will push them on a hand-car
from Apalet to Gen. Luna's head
quarters at Santo Tomas, five miles
north. Gen. Macarthur also sent a
letter to Gen. Luna suggesting the ex-
change of a number Of Filipinos for
the American prisoners.
A party Of 100 residents of Macca-
bebe entered the lines yesterday, ask
ing for American protection against
the Tagals. When Maj. Bell, with a
party of scouts, visited Maccabebe the
entire town turned out to welcome
him. Bells were rung and the people
shouted sylvia Americanos!" until
they were hoarse. They eagerly be-
sought the Americans to garrison the
town for their protection. Five Tagal
prisoners, including a lieutenant, who
were captured by the Maccabebes,
were about to be put to death as the
Americans arrived. They were res
cued by Maj. Bell and brought to Ma
Mia. The Maccabebes are anxious to
enlist in the American army and fight
the Tagals. They are armed only with
bolos. The situation is unchanged.
There is no fighting, and. under the
circumstances, none is desired, every
thing being given up here to the cele.
bration of the anniversary Of Dew
ey's destruction of the Spanish fleet
in Manila bay. Admiral Dewey grant
ed the fleet a holiday and held a recep-
ton on board his flagship.
Gen. Lawton is advancing. He has
organized a band of forty scouts to
go ahead Of the column. The band,
which is under Maj. Young, an old In
dian fighter who killed five Filipinos
last week, includes Diamond. Ham
mond, Summerfield and Murray, of
the Second Oregon.
