STEAMER PROBABLY LOST.

Bulgaria With 139 Souls Aboard Was
Sinking When Last Seen.
A London dispatch says: Loyds
agent st. Michael's, Azores, cables
that the tank steamer Weehawken re-
ports that the Bulgaria when spoken
on February 5th, latitude 40, longi-
tude IS, was in sinking condition,
with three holds full of water, her
rudder and machinery disabled.
The London Daily Mail publishes a
dispatch from Ponta Delgada, Azores
Islands, saying that the Bulgaria had
crew Of ninety eight and carried
forty-one passengers and that the
Weehawken rescued twelve members
of the crew and eleven passengers.

sharpshooters at work.

The American lines form complete
Gordon twenty-five miles in length
from the coast north almost to Pasa-
qua, south of Manila. The enemy is
busily throwing up intrenchments on
the left, sharpshooters in the jungles
covering their operations.
Several Americans were wounded in
the trenches. Second Lieutenant
George A. Seaman, of battery B, Utah
artillery, was shot in the leg.
Four men of the Twentieth Kansas
volunteers were slightly wounded.
Sunday night Privates Brinton and
Stevens, of the Twentieth Kansas, were
wounded.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton has moved up the coast and is off
Malolos, the seat of the so-called Fill
pino government, at distance esti-
mated about eight miles.
Pursuing their customary tactics,
the rebels on the extreme left of the
line opened fire at long range on the
American troops Sunday night, main
tanning their fire for few minutes be-
fore settling down. None of their shots
took effect, however, and the Ameri-
cans did not reply. All was quiet
along the rest of the line. The Con-
cord is now lying off Paranaque. The
weather at night now is cooler, and
showers are frequent
After the capture of Caloocan a
Spaniard who had been a prisoner
there came to the Americans, holding
up his hands, and said that the Fill
pinos had offered to release the Span
iards, especially the artillerymen, if
they would undertake to fghtagainst
the Americans at 81 a day. Most of
the Spaniards refused, and even those
who accepted the offer did so in the
hope of effecting an escape.
The rebels, according to this infor-
nation, are discontinued, unpaid, un-
fed and thoroughly disillusionized,
the talismanic waters being of no
avail against wounds, hunger and
fatigue.
On Friday Aguinaldo visited Polo,
few miles northwest of Caloocan,
and addressed the Filipino troops
there, claiming that he had won
a victory and asserting that $500
Americans had been killed.
The Twentieth Kansas and the First
Idaho volunteers have been recalled
from the marsh lands north of Mala-
bon, and the former regiment is now
intrenched in front of Caloocan.
There has been no change in the
disposition of the troops except that
the Fourth United States cavalry has
relieved the First Idaho volunteers
and a battalion of the Twenty-third
infantry has been stationed on the
left flank to prevent the rebels sneak
ing along the beach.

Ger as fifty years ago: Probably no
single factor is more potent in deter
mining the outbreak OF cancer In the

can be no doubt that the greed for
high food manifested by modern COM

Many indications point TO the glutton-
Gus consumption Of meat, which Is
such a characteristic feature OF this
age as likely to be especially harmful
In this respect. Statistics show that
the consumption Of meat has for many
years been increasing by leaps and
bounds, till 1t now has reached the
amazing total Of 131 pounds per head
per year, which is more than double
what It was half century ago, when

cessive quantities of such highly slim

A special from Manila says: The
Americans captured Iloilo Saturday.
The United States gunboat Petrol
arrived late Monday evening with dis
patches from Brigadier General Mar
Gus p, Miller to Major General Otis,
announcing that Iloilo had been taken
by the combined military and naval
forces on Saturday morning.
General Miller, in his instructions
from Manila, sent the native commits
sioners from the United States trans
port st. Paul with a communication
for the rebel government at Iloilo
calling upon him to surrender within
a time stated and warning him not to
make a demonstration in the interval.
The rebels Immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their po-
sition. Thereupon the Petrol fired
two warning guns, the, rebels imme-
diately opening fire upon her.
The Petrol and the Baltimore then
bombarded the town, which the rebels
having set on fire, Immediately evac-
uated.
American troops were promptly
landed and extinguished the fires in
all cases Of foreign property.
1t is believed that the enemy's loss
during the bombardment was heavy,
but no American casualties are re-
ported

Toilet of Cats.

Cats make the most careful toilet of
any class of animals. The lion and
the tiger wash themselves in exactly
the same manner as the cat, wetting
the dark India rubber-like ball of the
forefoot and inner toe and passing it
over the face and behind the ears.
The foot is thus at the same time a
face sponge and brush, and the rough
tongue combs the rest of the body.
