Americans have had to draw upon en-

American occupation, the main body of
Aguinaldo's army being within our lines.
The majority of these insurgents may dis

London, Oct. S0.-The war situation
this morning presents no new features.
1t is presumed in Natal that the Beers
are reconstructing their plans and that
the English are resting, but kilograms
from Ladysmith, at express rates, still
occupy 4S hours in transmission to
London, and, therefore, it is not inn
possible that something is happening.
The Daily Telegraph has the follow
ing from Ladysmith, dated Wednesday:
"Our cavalry patrols have been fired
on this afternoon and chased by the en-
emy near the scene of the Reitiontein
Engagement. The Beers show signs OF
ecoming aggressive. We learned OF
the capture OF the hussars in response
to a military wire sent to Command
ant General Joubert."
According to the latest account OF
the first battle at Glencoe, the Boer
army amounted to 1000 men, and
about noon another army, almost as
large, under Commanant- General Jou.

Glencoe camp and then retired The
Boer losses were very heavy, fully 800.

Manila, Oct. BON. Ruperto San

who had taken the oath OF allegiance

a friend of the Americans, has been

1t is asserted that council of 10

LIZ Malaria or Alnms

Languor, loss of appetite, indigestion
and often ieverishness are the COM
mon symptoms of physiological con-
dition termed malaria" All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu-
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So 'thighly injurious to
the health of the community" does
the eminent head of the University OF
Pennsylvania, DIR. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is
necessary TO keep so dangerous an ele-
ment from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow.
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-fve
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, il
you are paying much less, something
is wrong; if you are paying twenty-five
cents or less per pound, the powder
is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder

Manila, Oct. 31.--General Young,

Cabanatuan under difficulties. The
country Is furrowed with rivers and
deep ravines, the bridges over which

rations are short, and the transporta-
ton Of supplies has been delayed by

however, to keep the brigade. The in

cite Anxiety.
London, Oct. 31.-The position OF
Ladysmith, without being alarming, is
sufficiently dangerous to excite anx.
iety. Evidently the Beers are trying
to repeat their Dundee tactics Roughly
estimated, they have 1000 men, as
against $4,000 British. General Sir
George Stewart White has the better
artillery, but his is of lesser range.
The delay in the Boer attack is reported
to be due to the non-arrival of Com
mandant- General Joubert's column.
This has given the British much
needed respite after their recent exer-
tions.
Everything, it is now considered,
hinges on General Whites resources
and Judgment. Nothing is known re-
garding the progress of defensive works
for the protection of Ladysmith. The
censorship is more active than ever.
According to the Daily Chronicles cor
respondent, ''the new regulations limit
the number of words allowed for press
messages to one-fourth the number al
lowable before"
Farmers in the neighborhood of
Ladysmith have left their farms and
stock at the mercy of the Beers and are
congregated in the town.
Two guns the Beers have mounted
are powerful weapons. They are the
ones used in shelling Dundee, and it is
matter of considerable surprise how
they managed to transport such heavy
pieces
