Rains Make Campaigning Uneom.
Portable.
Natives Base Hopes on
American Politics,
Filipino Women Promise to
Fight After Men are Killed.

Manila. Juns 81, Q p. m.-The insur-
gent army has taken to the swsmps and
hills beyond linus. The. largest force is
supposed to be in the neighborhood Of
San Francisco de Malabon, holding q po-
sition more toward the lake or toward
the coast according as exigenciss de-
mand.
Gen. wheeton returned to linus today,
bringing three men who were wounded
In yesterdays lighting.
The heavy .rains.t that fall rightly make
campaigning uncomfortable. The reads
are still good, but ths rice fields adjoining
them are pools of wa ter.
The Filipinos will not fight unless they
can meet our troops in positions most ad-
vantageous to themselves or take our
accommodating bodies in ambush.
1t is impossible to learn what effect the
recent defeat has had upon their leaders.
I his should be disheartening, for they
had boosted that the Americans could
never conquer the province Of Cavite,
Aguinaldo's home country. where he al.
ways worsted the Spaniards.
General Otis recently received letter
signed by native women Of the province
ldsclaring that, II all the men were killed,
the women would still keep up the fight
against the Americans.
Copies Of the insurgent organ Indepen.
dencia show that the Filipinos' hopes OF
success are kept afiame by political move
ments In America. The Independence
prints reports of alleged reports made al
alleged meetings in the United States de
nouncing the war and 1t asserts that
these represent the dominant American
! ,gentiment. 1t declares also thai the Bil.
5pinos win continue the war until the
next presidential campaign, which IL
"sure to result in decision to withdraw
the American troops from the Philip
| pines.''
Ii is reported that the Spanish garrison
at Baler in the province OF Principe on
the east coast of Luznn, which had be.
come reduced to 33 men, finally surren'
dered to the Eilipinos after holding out
| for year. The Filipinos imprisoned
| two Englisbmen at Tachelbon, on the
island of Samar, southeast Of Luson. The
British first class cruiser Grafton steamed
to that point from Cebu and her com.
mande er demanded their release. When
this was refused, he landed force oi

An Excellent Combination.


The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.. illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and = cceptable to the system. 1t
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and levers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting ON the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
