What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

American soldiers Oh every side and

longing to natives who were lukeWarm
towards the instruction. On learning
his identity some refugees brought the
news on Nov. 20 to Colonel Luther r.
Hare, commanding the Thirty third in
fantry, garrisoning Manaoag. After
communicating with General Wheaton
Major Marcus d. Cronin's battalion
surrounded the village Nov. p. Buen-
camino's guard had hidden their rifles
dered without resistance. He had only
a few clothes and $4,000 in gold. Gen
eral Wheaton kept the woman and
child and sent Buencamino to Manila
on the transport Brutus, in charge of
Lieutenant Smith Of the Twentieth in

He seemed cheerful and rather glad
his troubles had eliminated. On the

General Otis then summoned Provost

Manila. Nov. 25-Bautista, president
Of the Filipino congress, presented
himself to General Macarthur and for
mally renowned all further connection
with the instruction. He was one of
the influential Filipinos who, at the
beginning of the war, hesitated as to
which side on which to cast his lot.
He was offered a judgeship of the SUI
preme court, but declined. He now
announces that he desires to accept the
position, and says the Filipino con-
gress and cabinet are scattered never

he adds, have returned to their homes,
while others are flying for safety.
Many of the congressman have re-
signed, and he believes the Filipino
soldiers will lay down their arms ev-
erywhere as soon as they learn the
truth.

Losses at Gras Pan.

Losses Gras Pan.
A recapitulatiOn of the losses by
General Methuen's forces at GraS Pan
in the engagement of Nov. 20 shows
that fifty Beers were killed and twice
as many wounded. The battle began
at a. ~, lasting until 10 a. m. Boer
losses must have been much heavier
than known. Fifty horses were found
dead where the Beers withstood
steady rain Of Shrapnel. The British
did not pursue the routed forces of the
enemy, but halted one day to rest. The
brunt of the fighting in both engage
ments was borne by the Ninth brigade,
the naval brigade, the Second York
shire light infantry and First Ian
cashire regiment. The BOer force
was composed of Transvaal and Free
State cOmmandOs. It's artillery was
commanded by the Transvaal general,
Delarraye The artillery was carried
off the field, despite the f1anking at
tack of the British cavalry. Among
the killed were Commander Alfred 2.
Ethlesten of the British cruiser
Powerful Captain Guy Senior of the
Royal marine artillery, attached to the
battleship Monarch, and Major Plumbe
of the Royal marines. Flag Captain
r. G. Prathers was severely wounded.
No News from Mafeking.
The absence of news from Mafeking
occasions alarm. 1t is feared that
nothing can be done to save this posi-
ton. The Beers shelled a camp of
RhOdesian horses, north of Crocodile
river, and captured the horses and
mules of the squadron. Up to date
the ROorS hold as prisoners thirtv-nino
officers, 1927 men and siXty-two po-
litical prisoners. The total British
losses since the opening of the cam
paign on Oct. Is are 222 killed, SS1
wounded and 676 missing, making a
total of 2,779. About 400 who are not
accounted, it is feared, were killed.
General Methuen's second battle fore
shadows a hard campaign for the
British The information sent by cor
respondents concerning General Jou-
bert's movements is not altogether re-
liable and engagements may be looked
for in unexpected places.

The mules were hurled from side to

advanced from Bacoor yesterday and
occupied Cavite Viejo and Noveleta'
The American loss was three officers
and nine privates wounded, one OF the
officers being mortally hurt. There
were two sharp fights near Noveleta'
loves scouts first encountered the
enemy near Cavite viejo and soon put
them to flight, continuing thelr au-
vance. Capt. Saffold's battalion OF the
Thirteenth regiment, with two compa-
nies of the Fourteenth and a number
of Tagalo scouts, Capt. McGrath com
manding the troops from the Fourth
cavalry and Capt. Reilly's battery
came upon the enemy in strongly en-
trenched position on the road between
Cavite viejo and Noveleta. A hght
lasting half an hour followed, resulting
in the enemy being driven back. The
American forces sustained considerable
losses in this engagement the men be-
| ing shot from trenches and shacks
along the road. The column tneh
pressed on to Noveleta, which they
found deserted, and remained there at
night.
The marines and naval forces CO.
operated with the troops. The gun
boats Wheeling, Petrol and Callao lay
off the shore near Noveleta and threw
shells into that town and Santa Cruz
for an hour preparing the way for the
marines to land. Two battalions, con-
sisting of 45O marines, advanced along
the peninsula from Cavite to Noveleta.
The only way was by narrow ROAD
through swamps. A mile beyond the
marines outpost the column was sud
denly received with a volley from
trenches across the road. A flank move
ment was executed and the insurgents
were driven from the trenches, thu
