Manila, February Is, 9:45 a. m.-The
United States gunboat Petrol arrived
late last evening with dispatches from
Brigadier General Marcus P. Miller to
Major General Otis, announcing that
Iloilo had been taken by the combined
military and naval forces on Saturday
morning.
General Miller, on receipt of his in
structions from Manila, sent the native
commissioners ashore from the United
States transport ST. al with a COM
munication for the rebel governor of
IlOilo, calling upon him to surrender
within a stated time, and warning him
DOT to make a demonstration in the in
terval.
The rebels Immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their po-
sition. Thereupon the Petrol fired two
warning guns, the rebels Immediately
opening fire upon her. The Petrol
and the Baltimore then bombarded the
town, which the rebels, having set on
fire, Immediately evacuated.
American troops were promtly land
ed and extinguished the fires in all
cases of foreign property, but not be-
fore considerable damage had been
done.
1t is believed that the enemy's loss
during the bo~mbardment was heavy;
buo no American casualties are re-
ported.
4:05 p. m.-The Twentieth Kansas and
the First Idaho volunteers have been
recalled from the marsh lands north Of
Malabon and the former regiment is
now e~ntrenched in front of Caloocan.
The American lines form a complete
Gordon twenty-five miles in length
from the coast almost to Pasaqua,
south Of Manila. There has been no
change in the disposition Of the troops
except hat the Fourth United States
cavalry las relieved the First Idaho
volunteers and a battalion of the Twen-
ty-third infantry has been stationed on
the left flank to prevent the rebels
sneaking along the beach.
The enemy are buSily throwing up
intrenchments on their left, sharp
shooters in the jungle covering their
operations. Several Americans were
wounded in the trenches. Second Lieu
tenant George A. Seaman, Of Battery
E, Utah artillery, was hot in the leg
while standing near his gun
London, February 13.-Reuter's Tel

Mia dated February 18th, Ais p. m:
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 Philippines
had offered to release the Spaniards,
especially the artillerymen, if they
would undertake to fight against the
Americans at 81 a day. Most of the
Spaniards refused and wen those who
accepted the offer did so in the hope Of
effecting an escape.
1.-The rebels, according to this infor-
nation, are disconnected, unpaid, un-
fed and thoroughly disillusioned, the
talismanic waters being of no avail
against wounds, hunger and fatigue.
ION Friday Aguinaldo visited Polo,
a few miles rthw of Caloocan and
addressed the Philippine troops there,
claiming that he had won a victory
and asserting that 1900 Americans had
heen killed.")

chairman OF the appropriation COM
mittee. was tumbled out OF a sleigh
into a snow bank as he was coming UP
Capital Hill.
At 1905 o'clock MI. Mcdowell called
the House TO order. There were about
sixty members on the floor. Mr.. Payne
moved that the House adjourn, but
there was cries no" mo- from the

hoped TO pass by unanimous consent.
The motion was voted down 2 TO IL.

speaker pro tenn, and amid an ont
burst OF applause.
District day was postponed until
Thursday and the house went into

kins, Of Illinois. in the chain, and re-
sumed the consideration of the sundry
civil bill.
A resumption Of the discussion of
the receipts and expenditures of the
treasury which attracted considerable
attention last week was again precipi-
tated by Mr.. Sulzer, democrat, of New
York, who offered some figures as to
the cost Of the steamship subsidy bill.
Mr.. Cannon, reiterated his statement
of last week. regarding the ship subsi-
dy bill and the Nicaragua canal bill.
y Mr.. Payne, chairman OF the commit
tee which reported the subsidy bill,
said he welcomed any information that
would throw light upon the bill, but
he protested against alarming state
ments as to the deficiencies in advance.
Estimates did not always coincide
with appropriations. AS illustration
he cited the fact that the estimates for
the army bill had ranged as high as
S145,0 600 900, whereas the military COM
mittee had prepared a bill carrying
less than $50, 0O0, 900. He asked why
Mr.. Cannon had not thrown his influ-
ence against the public building bills
a few days ago. These bills, he said,
would take more money from the treas
ury next year than both the subsidy
and canal bills together.
Mr.. Canon declared that if the army

Mr.. Berry, democrat, of Kentucky,
made a spirited speech, scoring some
of the economists of the house, who
were shouting for economy and reach
ing their hands into the treasury at
every opportunity. He attacked the
steamship subsidy bill. charging that
the decay of our merchant marine was
attributable to the ruinous protective
policy of the republican party.
On motion Of Mr.. Adamson, demo-
crat, of Georgia, $4,000 was placed in
the bill for a fish culture station at
Cold Springs, Ga.
After having completed fifty-nine
pages of the bill, the committee arose
and at 4:45 p. m. the house adjourned.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they canot

There is only n way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-

PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM.
United States Furnishes Large Part
of 5,OOO,OOO,OOO Gallons.

Washington, D. c., June 1L-Over
5000, 000,0 600 gallons of petroleum, ac-
cording to the treasury bureau of sta
tistics, are now produced annually in
the world. OF this amount, 1900, 10000
gallons are produced in the United
States, 2,225, 900 gallons in Russia,
and the remainder is distributed among
a dozen countries, Austria producing
81, 600 600, Sumatra $4,000, 900, Java 80,
COO, 900, Canada %. 100000, Roumania "a
100000. India 100000, Japan 100000,
Germany 1000, 900, Peru 100000, and
Italy about LOCO, 900 gallons.
While the United States and Russia
furnish the bulk of the worlds petro-
leum and stand almost abreast in the
quantity of crude oil produced, the
amount of refined Illuminating oil sup
piled by the United States is more than
double that produced by Russia. This
is due to the fact that a given quantity
of United States oil produces three
fourthS of its bulk in refined illuminat-
ing oil, while the same quantity of Rus
sian oil produces only about three
eighthS of its bulk in refined illuminat-
ing oil.
Sumatra, next to Russia, is the most
formidable competitor of the United
States because of the rapid growth in
its production of oil, the fact that its
crude oils produce half the quantity in
refined Illuminating oils. and the fur
Their fact that they are much nearer to
the Orient, the countries of which form
an important part of the worlds mar
ketS for this class of expectations. Up
to the present time. however, the guam
tity of oil produced in Suinatra is
small compared with that of the United
States or Russia, its figures for 1897
only being 72,25s, 900 gallons, against
2,54S,000,0O0 gallons for the United
States.
The United Kingdom is the largest
consumer of mineral oils exported by
the United States, our total exports
to that country in the last fiscal year
being 212. 265, 65S gallons, against 49,
2O3, 222 to Germany, SO, 1885, lis to Japan,

Mike Fitzgerald and Pat Ryan came
in from Tintic yesterday.
C. H. Jacobs is looking after mining
interests near Granite, in Baker county,
Oregon.
DR.. Hosmer of Silver City is superin-
tending operations at the Nephi mine,
near Nephi.
Manager Christensen says there is a
splendid showing of ore in the Nebo
Star mine shaft.
Mining is said to be progressive
around Nephi More development is in
progress than ever before.
The Tip Top mill at Haley. Ida, has
been completed. The mill has twenty
stamps of $50 pounds each, that will
make ninety drops a minute. The plant
will handle from fifty to sixty tons of
ore every twenty-four hours.
Agents of w. A. Clark of Montana
have made Investigations in the Seven
Devils district, Idaho, and as result
the senator has bonded the Blue Bell

The citizens of Baker City, Ore, have
taken steps to build a stage line from
that city to Cuprum, Ida, in the Seven
Devils copper region. The estimated
cost of the road is placed at sl,750. The
people of thar town propose to head off

Cleveland. O., June 11.-Both the Of
ficers of the Big Consolidated street
railway and the strikers are waiting
expectantly for o'clock tomorrow
morning, for then there is likely to be
serious trouble. True to its promise of
last night, the company made no at
tempt to move cars today. There was
no activity about the barns or termin-
ais. and the big crowds of strikers and
idlers that assembled saw nothing to
excite them.
A number of motormen imported by
the company from other cities were
taken to the Lakeview terminus of the
road today and all that were not cap
tured by the strikers were housed there
for the night If the strikers do not
return to work in the morning, as
notified to do by the company, their
places will be filed as far as possible
by new men, and an attempt made to
move the cars. This the strikers will
not permit-or, at least, they say they
will not, and while they have been very
quiet today, there is apparently u
grim determination on their part to
thwart the efforts of the company to
move cars.
There has been some talk of a SYM
pathetic strike on the part of the en-
ployees of the Little Consolidated COM
pany, but the leaders of the strike say
they do not desire anything of the
kind. On the other hand, they declare
that it would only injure them to tie
up the other lines, for ii would lose
them the sympathy of the people. who
have thus far put up with incOnveni-
ence and annoyance good-naturedly.
The police are preparing for trouble
in the morning. and a large force of
deputy sheriffs has been sworn in to
assist in preserving order. should the
emergency arise.

Bright Prospect For Tacoma.

W. H. Remington, formerly of this
city, but now engaged in mining at
Tacoma, Wash. speaks in high praise
of that city becoming lucrative field
for mining enterprises. Heretofore,
people in that part of the northwest
have devoted their energies to lumber
ing and agricultural pursuits to large
extent They are becoming awakened
to the fact that the state has resources
in the way of big mines. The country
along the sound is being developed, Mr..
Remington says, and some mighty good
propositions are coming to the front as
a result of these explorations. Tacoma
people see where they can be benefited
in many ways, and are getting inter-
eSted.
