ans Cffer to Fight Aguinaldo.

The rebels fired the city of Manila We'd
nesday night, applying the torch to MANY
buildings. The greater part of the city
is heavily damaged. The attempt to burn
the city was followed by an outbreak of
rebel sympathizers and severe fighting in
the streets followed. The troops suppress
ed the outbreak by prompt and determin-
ed action. A number of the insurgents
were killed and several American soldiers
were wounded. A large market place
was among the first to burn. Between six
and seven hundred residences and bust
ness houses were destroyed. Fires were
started at several points simultaneously
and, spreading with great rapidity, re-
sisted all efforts to control them.
Native sharpshooters were concealed be-
hind corner buildings. They shot at every
American in sight. Flames burst forth
simultaneously from Santa Cruz, San Mic
elas and Tondo. From these points the
flames spread in all directions. In a short
time the greater part of the city was on
fire. Notwithstanding the continual fir
ing Of the hidden sharpshooters the Amer
lean garrison turned out and fought the
fire. In many cases they had first to drive
away the lurking assassins.
None of our troops was killed, but seven
members Of the Minnesota regiment were
wounded while making a rush into the
burning Tondo quarter. The troops were
rallied from some of the outlying encamp-
ments. They quickly spread through all
parts of the city and promptly subdued
what was evidently planned for general
uprising and massacre.
Tho fro loo oil Dirht The native
rebels in the city have been completely
subjected by the prompt work of Gen.
O<is and the other commanders. 1t is evil
dent that the incendiaries and assassins
believed that the entire town would be de-
stroyed and with it the foreign residents
ard the American soldiers. The loss will
be very heavy. Strong guards are posted
in all parts of the city and it is believed
that another massacre will not be at
tempted.
The attemJt to burn the city of Mania
is part Of the often announced plan OF the
insurgents. Filipino spies and sympathiz-
ers have been watched by the American
troops day and night. Many have been
captured Some of them were disguised
in women's clothing. Plots of all kinds
have been rife. There has ,s1en constant
fear for weeks that a massacre and con-
fagration would be attempted. Gen. OTIS
warned his officers to be ever vigllant ana
since the first battle on Friday four troops
have guarded all quarters within the lines.
Anciento Lanson, president of Negros
Island, called on Gen. Otis with his fell
low delegates. They assured Gen. Otis
of the hearty support of the Visayas. The
government of Negros, they declared, was
in favor of American rule. The commits
sion offered to raise an army of 100000
Visayans to fight the Tagaios on the ISL
and of LuZon.

Daring Deeds Of Modern Surgery.

Daring Deeds OF Modern Surgery.
In recent address before London
medical association DR.. d. A. Weather
~, prominent physician, said that IL
surgeon Of sixty years ago could
wake from his everlasting sleep In this
world and find himself in one of the
modern operating theaters of med
ical institution he would rub his eyes
and stare with utter amazement at the
daring deeds Of the modern surgeon;
that "he would see the patient brought
IN already unconscious of what was
about to be done; he would note the
scrupulous cleanliness which antisep-
tic surgery has taught us in all the sur
roundings of the room, the appliances
of the operating surgeon and his assist
ant; he would, perhaps, see the abdo-
men opened and its contents handled
with the most perfect confidence, and
this or that operation, never dreamed
of in his day as being even possible
without instant death, brought to q
successful termination. And wonder
ment would be justifable. DR..
Weatherly thought the fault with the
modern young operator in surgery was
that he was little too prone to use his
knife as a means of diagnosis, without
giving his powers of observation
chance to arrive at a right conclusion.
The address of the distinguished ply
sician has attracted wide attention.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that Is BY constitll-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbllng sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be- DESTROYED forever;
which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir.

The Importance of Informing the
Public of the Value of an Article
Through the Leading Newspapers.
The few remedies which have attained
to worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions
of people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
sicians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemist; and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently beneficial in its eff
fects, and therefore lives and promotes
good health, while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times if remedy gave temporary
relief to individuals here and there, 1t was
thought good; but nowadays Laxative
remedy must give satisfaction to all. II
you have never used Syrup of Figs, give 1t
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from over-feeding, or from colds, head
aches, biliousness, or other ills resulting
liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cal
ifornia Fig, Syrup Co., and named Syrup
of F:ss, figs are used, as they are pleasant
to the taste; but the medicinal properties
Of the remedy are obtained from an excel
lent combination Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and to act most bene-
fcially. AS the true and original remedy,
named Syrup Of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only,
knowledge of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the leading
publications of the United States through
which to inform the public of the merits
of it's remedy, and among them this
paper Is included, as will be seen by
reference to our advertising columns

Catarrh and Nervousness.

A nervous person nearly always has
catarrh. Catarrh Is one of the ways in
which a depressed condition Of the nervous
system shows itself. Catarrhal people are
soon made nervous. The relation between
chronic catarrh and nervous debility Is most
intimate.
Catarrh 10 chronic congestion of some
mucous membrane. The nerves, which
should guard the mucous membrane against
congestion, are depressed and their func-
ton partly destroyed. The nerves that
should control the clrculat ton in the mucous
membrane are called the vasa-motor system
of nerves. Depression Of the general ner-
vous system soon leads to depression Of the
vasa-motor system. Depression of the vasa-
motor system Of nerves at once causes
chronic catarrh.
Any remedy to effect a radical cure Of
chronic catarrh must operate directly
