Two Pointed Gu .s:ions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor If you can
not get better price tor ii
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much great
er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best1
Ifboth articles are brought prominently
before the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham.
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable. and for coughs

General Macarthur Moves From MalOlos
to Besieee 1t.
MANILA, April 25.-General Near
thurs division has left Malolos, appar-
emily intending to besiege Calumpit.
General Hale at 4 in the afternoon
had crossed the Bagbag and had reached
a position a quarter of mile from
Calumpit, thus commanding the ford.
Prisoners captured by General Hale's
troops say Aguinaldo, General Luna
and the Filipino staff are at Calumpit,
with great force of Filipino troops.
Before daylight the Fourth cavalry,
with three guns belonging to the Utah
battery, the Nebraska regiment and the
Iowa regiment, under General Hale,
were proceeding in the direction Of
Kiunchu where the Bagbag is fordable,
but commanded by trenches.
During the afternoon the troops
crossed the river.
Generals Macarthur and Wheaton,
with the Montana regiment, advanced
to the left of the railroad and the Kan
sas regiment moved forward to the
right, north of Malolos. They had
with them a long supply train, with
two armed cars in front, carrying two
Gatling and Colts rapid fire guns and
the 6-pounder which did such execution
at the capture of Malolos.

MADE A PROTEST.

German Ambassador Complains of the
Language of Captain Coehlan.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The German
government has entered formal protest
against the language used by Captain
Coghlan of the cruiser Raleigh at the
Union League Club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secretary
Hay through the German ambassador,
Herr Won Holleben.
Secretary Hay replied that the Ian
guage appeared to have been used at a
dinner in a club and so could not be re-
garded as an official or public utterance
in the sense that would warrant the
state department in acting. However,
the navy department was fully compe-
tent to take such action as the case
seemed to require. With this statement
the ambassador was content for the
time at least, and will doubtless await
reasonable length of time upon the
naVV deDartment.

Will Issue Manifesto Supporting
American Protectorate for Cuba.
HAVANA, April 20.-General Maxine
Gomez has determined to announce to
the people of Cuba, in manifesto, his
support of an American protectorate
until such time as stable, Independent
government may be founded. To the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
General Gomez made it known that he
intends to take this step after consult
ing the views of the leading men in his
following. He is content to cooperate
with the Americans till the island is
pacitied, the rural police organized, the
Cuban soldiery at work and insular re-
construction far advanced. No definite
period for the occupation by the Ameri-
cans will be mentioned, but the mani
festo will favor cession of the agita-
tion for the immediate withdrawal of
the United States troops.
The declaration will be so worded as
to retain the support of those who de-
sire independence, yet will illustrate the
necessity of American assistance. Gov
ernor General Brooke is aware of the
purposes of Gomez and has talked with
him about them. Some papers continue
to advocate annexation to the United
States. Ell Reconcentrado prints carl
cature of Gomez driving over the flags
of Santa Domingo, Spain and Cuba and
flying the American flag. The paper
asks what next?

DEWEY is PERPLEXED.

Fate of Gilmore and HiS Comrades Still a
Mystery.
MANILA, April 24.-Admiral Dewey,
in an interview, said the expedition Of
the Yorktown to Baler was purely
to rescue the Spanish soldiers and
priests who are being besieged in a
church there. The soldiers refused to
surrender when ordered to lay down
their arms by General Rios at the end
Of the Paris peace conference. Admiral
Dewey said he did not know what had
become Of Lieutenant Gilmore and the
IA men in tho launch. They had been
sent to sound the mouth of the river.
but went beyond the bend, out Of sight
Of the Yorktown. The supposition is
they were captured or killed by the
Spaniards or the 400 insurgents who
are besieging the Spanish garrison.

on Account of Safe Shelter.
MANILA, April 24.-Four men of the
Nebraska regiment, including Colonel
Stotzenberg and Lieutenant Sisson, and
three men Of the Fourth cavalry were
killed and ~ wounded in an engage
ment at Quengua. The Filipinos re-
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed into a
disastrous, though successful fight.
The insurgents had horseshoe trench
about mile long, encircling a rice
field on the edge of wood. Major
Bell with 40 cavalrymen encountered a
strong outpost. One Of his men was
killed and five were wounded by a vol
ley. The Americans retired, carrying
their wounded under fire with great
difficulty, being closely pursued, fog
enabling the enemy to creep close up to
them.
Major Bell sent for reinforcements
to rescue the bodies Of the killed cav
alrymen and battalion Of the Nebras-
ka regiment under Major Ford arrived
and advanced until checked by volley
from the intrenchments. The Amer
leans were 800 yards from the trenches
Behind Rice burrows for Two Hours.
Seven men We're struck, one dying from
his wounds, while waiting for the artil-
lery to come up Finally the Second
battalion arrived, then Colonel Stotzen-
berg, who had spent the night with his
family at Manila, came upon the field.
The men Immediately recognized him
and raised a cheer.
Colonel Stotzenberg, deciding to
charge as the best way out Of the diff
regiment. He fell with bullet in his
breast, dying instantly, about 200 yards
from the breastworks. Lieutenant Sis
son fell with bullet in his heart. In
the meantime the artillery had arrived
and began Smelling the trenches.
The Filipinos stood until the Me-
braska troops were right on the
trenches and then they bolted to the
second line of intrenchments> mile
back. The Nebraskans lost two pri-
Yates killed and many wounded, includ-
ing TWO lleutenanCS.
Filipino Loss Comparatively Small.
The Iowa regiment had several
wounded. The Utah regiment had one
officer and three men wounded. Thir-
teen dead Filipinos were found in the
trenches. Their losses were compara-
lively small Oh account of their safe
shelter. The Americans carried the
second trench with small loss and are
holding the town.
Colonel Stotzenberg has won a repu-
tation as one Of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had. achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although, during his first colonelcy, the
volunteers, who were not used to the
rigid discipline of the regular troops,

A Notable Shipment of Percheron Horses.-The following appeared last week in a Chicago paper: Chicago has become a horse market for the Pacific coast. Yesterdays overland freight On the Northwestern railroad took a ear- load of sixteen giant Pereheron Graft horses, consigned to a brewing and malting establishment in Seattle, Wash. The animals had to themselves a palace" stable car equipped with everything dear to equine appetite and comfort, with c special attendant to minister to their wants It is said to be the first time Chicago has been drawn on for such consignment to domestic destination nearly 2,500 miles away In anticipation of the new field of traffic the shipment may open, the railroad company has sent along it's right-of-way orders to rush" the car to the coast with all possible dispatch. None of the horses was un- der sixteen hands high, while they tipped the scales at an average weight of 1,75O pounds. They were of the uniform shade of "dapple gray and were bred on the prairies of Iowa and Illinois.

xndiana smoking Cicarettea.

Whenever we think of "Lo, the poor Indian" we picture him in our minds as smoking the picturesque "pipe of peace" yet today we find him smoking cigarettes. It is enough to make Te- eumseh, Samoset and the rest of the o1d-time braves rise from their graves with flourish Of the tomahawk and warwhoop. It is a question how the .Apaehes and Navajos of the South western reservation acquired this hab- 1t. Some say it was their associations with the Mexican tribes, who learned cigarette making from the Spanish Others attribute their downfall to the cowboys. But, however they came by the habit, they do not smoke paper cigarettes. They simply gather up In dian corn husks and dry them. When cigarette is wanted the dried husk is thoroughly wet in water, the tobacco placed on it and the husk rolled up.
