When a Young Man He Was a Mer-

New York, Dec. SC. M. Simpson, sew

The story that friends tell of the dead

born III Esperance, N. Y. and when n
boy went to New Orleans where he soon
established himself in the drygoods bust
ness. Prosperity smiled upon his Ven

business men and largest land owners in
the state. Like many others he saw every

district and soon became known as q pro-

1t was Mr.. Simpson who at one time
conceived the idea of selling the stock Of
the Third avenue surface road to a syn

thing was in readiness for the transfer

reap a handsome profit. Then a hitch
came, and the deal fell through. With
dozens similarly situated, Mr.. Simpson
was again reduced to poverty in the crash
that olloWed the failure Of Grant and
Ward.
In the latter years Of his life Mr.. .Simp-
sons time and energy had been taken up
in litigation over the famous Wood
house Mexican bonds, said to involve a
sum Of money between S.. OGO, 900 and SIS,
2 10000. These bonds have been the sub
ject of congressional investigation, in
~ternational correspondence and litigation
since the early sixties. They were origi-
nally issued to Daniel Woodhouse and

by lgnacio Mariscal, secretary OF the
Mexican legation, as fraudulent. After
an appeal to the president the bonds We're
officially touched on in a presidential mes
sage to congress on July 10, 1868. For a
nominal sum Mi. Simpson obtained the
BONDS years ago and since then has been
fighting to realize on them. At one

Like a flash Of lightning, sudden and
startling, disease strikes down many a
man. Yet there have been warnings
upon warnings, UNDECIDED. Food has
lain like a heavy weight i'll the stomach
after eating. There have been belch-
i1lgs, bitter risings i'll the mouth, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleep1essness ard growing irri-
liability. Instead of listening to these
warnings, recourse has been had to some
of the nerve nu11lbing palliatives that
cover but never cure disease. Many
serious diseases begin in a diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. For such dis
eases there is one medicine which rarely
fails to effect a complete cure. DR..

Aguinald0 Has Left the
Northern Provinces.
REBELS ARE ATTACKING
The Americans at linus Nightly-Our
Forces Are Divided Into Small
Bands in the North and Are Pur-
suing the Filipln0S.

Manila, Dec. 7.-10:sO p. m.-The ex-
p%ectation of catching Aguinaldo in the
north has been practically abandoned,
and the probability now is that he will
turn southwark if he is not already
there, with his destination as Cayite
province, his home. where the insurrec-
ton began, and where it still has it's
greatest strength. The Filipino soldiers
in that province have recently been
showing increased enthusiasm and bold
ness, and captured insurgents say Aguin-
aldo is coming to join them with a large
army. The same belief prevails among
the natives at Manila and elsewhere that
A%guinaldo intends to make his head
quarters in Cavite province.
There are 5000 insurgents before linus
and Bacoor, keeping the Americans
sleeping on their arms and Nightly
awaiting attacks. The Filipinos have
several cannon. The first mayor of
linus under the American regime, who
ultimately deserted, is their leade in the
assaults, and is ambitious to take the
town. The men Of the Fourth artillery
have arrived.
The citizens are 50 strong in their SYM
pathy with the insurgents that it is
necessary to patrol the streets and pre-
vent shooting from houses whenever an
aICdck DSSllS. Inc american lOIceS
have separated into many small COM
mands and are pursuing bands of Fill
pinOs.
General Macarthur is engaged in
clearing the mountain country west Of
the Manila-Dagupa railroad. General
Grant is moving from Angeles toward
Subig with 500 men. Colonel Bell is
sweeping south from Mangatarem. Thus
far these commanders have been un-
able to locate large bodies Of insurgents.
although there were about 500 in a
Cleinentine, nine miles south of Man
gatarem, early in the week. Colonel
Hood, with the Sixteenth regiment and
caNalry and General Lawton with a
force from San Isidro, are operating
against General Pillar in San Mateo
valley.
Major Bachelor, with a battalion Of
the Twenty-fourth infantry, is making a
daring expedition. He left BayOmbong,
province of Nueva Nizaya, a week ago,
to march through Cagavan valley to the
north coast of Luzon, intending to reach
APART, at the mouth of the Cayagen
river, the most northermost seaport OF
the island. While no large forces are
known to be in his path, it may be that
he has had some fighting, although the
friendliness of the inhabitants is count
ed upon to help him. When he arrives
at APART he will find a gunboat awaiting
him.
The Spanish prisoners in the Benguel
region are escaping from the Filipinos
and are flocking into Eigan. Several hun
dred are there already and a steamer
will go to bring them to Manila.
The transport Manuense, which ar
rived here from la Francisco on No
