pinOs.

pinos
Washington. d. c.. March 2i.-Re-
ports reached here tonight that fierce
fighting Is going on ut Manila.
Up to n late hour nothing had come
from General Otis or Admiral Dewey.
but the rumors We're persistent, and
the War Department officials We're dis
posed to credit them.
1t has been known for some days
that General Otis was preparing for a
final attack on the rebel position north
Of the city. General Wheaton's flying
column, 1t is stated, had been with
drawn from Pasig and Laguna de Bay
and placed as reserve for General
Arthur's division, which had been hold
ing the north of the line. In the move
ment, 1t was expected that Gen. II. G..
Otis brigade of volunteers would lead.
The intrenchments in front OF Near
thurs division are said to be fOrmid-
able, but 10 anxiety exist. as to the re-
suit, though great loss Of fife is feared.
1t Is understood here that General
Otis has so far nIatured lis plans OF
campaign that he soon will be able to
begin movement which is expected
to mark the destruction of Aguinaldo's s
army.
Otis hns procured thirteen of the
gunboats formerly owned by the Span
ish government and these are to play
IN important development Of the cam
paign.
A cablegram to the New York World
from Manila says:
A sweeping victory over Aguinaldo's 8
forces has just been won by the Unit
ed States troops.
The total American loss Is estimated
at about 100, including both killed and
wounded.
The Filipino loss is between 300 and
400.

vance swept the insurgents back on
Malabon.
The fighting was fierce. One hundred
natives were killed. The American
loss was slight.

Indianapolis, Ind. March 2i.-The
announcement TINT Indiana is to re-
turn to Texas battle flag captured by
troops from this state In the civil war
has attracted attention all over the
country. Governor Mount says the let
tiers OF Inquiry received by him would
Indicate that many persons regard the
coming incident as one Of national in
terest.
A delegation OF Indiana officials viii
carry the flag to Texas. The party
will be made up OF the governor, men,
bers OF his stan, few newspaper
men and representatives of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. Department
Commander Ryan and Assistant AdJu-
tunt General Smock of the Grand
Army will be OF the party, and 1t IL
proposed to take along two or three
men who participated n the skIrmlsh
In which the flag was captured.
The people Of Texas are displaying
keen interest In the coming event. Both
branches of the Legislature OF that
state have passed resolutions inviting
the governor of Indiana TO be the
guest of the state, promising him n
express an Endorsement OF the H.ntl-
ment contained in the decision of the
state OF Indiana to return the flag.
The present arrangement is thar the
. Indiana delegation shall leave for
Texas about April Is. The. prescn.n-
tiOn Will be made In the Legislature,
which Is In session at Austin. Letters
received from Texas officials this week
state that General Joseph Wheeler and
other notable men who served " the
Confederate army have been invited
to be present and speak on the presen-
tation of the flag. The other day the
flag was taken from Its resting Ilace
in the state museum and photographed.
From these Photographic souvenir but
tons to be presented to the Texans

1t is said that the return of this flag
is the beginning Of n general return OF
Confederate flags held by northern
states. Several other Confederate flags
are In the Indiana museum. and 1t Il
announced that II the Texas trip meets
expectations the next Legislature will
be asked to authorize the return Of
flags to other states. Adjoining states.
which hold trophies of the war, have
been making inquiry ns to the action
of the Indiana Legislature with view
to taking similar action.

Cotton SEED Fnttens Former, but Kills

An unthought of danger follows the
trial of an experiment now being made
by many Colorado cattlemen.
The example of Texas cattlemen is
being followed in Colorado in the feed
ing of cotton seed to cattle. The dan
ger lies in having hogs follow cattle
thus fed.ssA few days ago DIR. Gress-
well. state veterinarian, went to Fow-
Ter, in response to a telegram notifying
him of the presence of what was sup
posed to be hog cholera. A large num-
ber of hogs had died there under pecu-
liar circumstances. He found that the
hogs had been permitted to follow cot
ton seed fed cattle. Cotton seed causes
congestion of the liver when fed to
hogs, and death usually follows. The
experiment of feeding cotton seed to
cattle is found successful wherever it
Is tried. At Fowler, 1000 head are be-
ing fed on one-third cotton seed to two
thirds corn

How TO Take
Care of the Nails.

The care Of the nails is a very i'm
portant matter to all persons OF good
breeding.
There are preparations for keeping
the cuticle in good condition and the
nail bright pink For cleaning the
nails or pressing back the cuticle about
them, never use blunt metal ins;ru-
ment; an orange wood stick, blunt at
one end and pointed at the other, IS
far better. In treating the. cuticle, a
good cream and good .euticle softener
will be found very useful. When the
nails are discolored a nail bleach may
be used. A piece of pumice stone will
be found useful in removing stains
from the fingers.
If, through an accident. you are
about to lose nail, do not try to hurry
its removal: it is always better at such
times to consult physician.
The cuticle should not under any cir
cumstances be cut away with knife or

Answer: From the play up to and in
GLIDING trick Z. without knowing the
rest of the contents of Easts or Vests
hand. except theoretically. any solver
OF perception problems would place
Jack and OF trumps with North. King
and 0 with South. South has shown
five trumps by his lead and
play, while North has shown
four by his lead OF three
card suit, and subsequent return of the
lowest trump. 1t is clear. however,
from East's still holding OF trumps,
that either North or South has played
incorrectly. East, from the play and
his own hand has right TO place King
and OF trumps with South and Jack
with West. as North should have no
more. He might well count South's
remaining cards at trick 7 as two hearts,
three spades, two diamonds. His best
play, placing the cards thus, would be
to secure the two diamond tricks at
once by leading King and Ace If he
then can see that West has the best
diamond or no more. he can continue
the diamond If not. he can lead his
trump to place the lead with South,
and compel him to lead up to his guard
ed spade King. The lead of low dia-
mond by East at trick does not seem
justified; he takes the dangerous chance
that North will win the trick and lead
spade through his King.
West sees the hands differently. He
must naturally place all the trumps
with the adversaries, two with each. lie
should not, therefore, lead club, as
one adversary would trump and the 9TH
er discard. He cannot lead a spade up
to South; his lead is, therefore, a dia-
mond.

one to two inches. On the other hand,
a fine. lengthy line is obtained from
