SAN lsIDRo, via Manila, O1L. 3D.
General Lawton is now giving his
personal attention to the matter OF
getting boats containing subsistence
and ammunition stores up the Rio
Grande, but they are still four miles
away. 1t is serious problem to
undertake to supply troops here, as
the water is too shallow for laun-
ches.
Some twenty American prisoners
are reported to have been moved
north from here two days ago. A
Filipino newspaper makes the state
ment that independence will be give
to the islands in December when
Bryan will be elected President of
the United States. The newspaper
also makes the statement that the
American casualties have been %,
600 since last February and that the
policy now is to make retreating
fight.
A Filipion officer who had been
captured, in an interview said he
had no wish to return to camp, as
they we're short of ammunition, San
Isidro is to be put under civil ad-
ministration. One hundred men of
the Thirty-fourth are coming to San
Isidro to act as scouts. A recon-
noissance at Santa Rosa, eight miles
away, revealed small force OF the
enemy entrenched. Bridges on the
river at that point are down.

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Restored an Idiotic Child to Full
Mental Powers-Restoringt the
Complexion.

In May, 1890, one of the most remark
able surgical operations on record was
performed by DR.. Lavelangue in the
Children's hospital at Paris. It was the
case of an idiot child. It's head had
stopped growing since it was four
years of age, and was only one-third the
normal size. Believing that the idiocy
was due to compression of the brain,
the doctor divided the skull longitu-
dinally and kept the edges of the bones
from uniting. Fresh deposits of bone
took place, and the skull gradually ex-
banded to almost it's proper size. Then
the intellectual faculties, which had
hitherto been those of an infant, grew
stronger and stronger every day, till
at last the child was as sound and
healthy as any other in France. Some
of the most remarkable surgical opera
tons have been performed in connec-
ton with the brain, which is now so
accurately mapped out that surgeon
can tell exactly where the seat of the
mischief in the brain lies. Should there
be tumor on the brain, its exact stu
alton can be located, and then the skull
is opened and the morbid growth re-
moved. Recently a society beauty,
whose complexion was fading. had the
outer skin of her face removed by a
long and most delicate process, and now
boasts the complexion of girl of II.

A MAD M0NARcH's FREAK.
The King of Bavaria Found Pleasure
in Frightening Horses
to Death,

AT the time the malady OF Ludwig H.,
the mad king of Bavaria, was at its
worst, he gave orders that 80 of his
finest horses should be put in the best
condition possible for a race, writes
Prof. j. 81. Gore in Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. When the report came that no
further Improvements could be made,
he had them brought into an open field
where every conceivable form of noise
making device had been stationed. The
horses were tied to posts, and the king
from an elevated stand gave the signal
that started the flare of trumpets, the
booming of cannon, the firing of bombs
and other outlandsh noises. The horses
reared, plunged, struggled to get free,
and finally breaking loose started in
the widest gallops from this bedlam.
But toward whatever corner of the
field they fled they were stopped by
noises Just as terrifying, and sent to
another quarter to be frightened again
and again. When the horses became too
tired TO run well the king found the
spectacle uninteresting and ordered the
orgy to cease. By this cruel freak the
royal stables lost a number of their
most valuable animals.

QUEER ANCIENT T1MEPIECE.
When the Alarm OF This Clock Ii
Sounded 1t Floods the Room
with Light.

In the town of Schramberg, in the
black forest district of Wurtemberp,
Germany, where one of the chief in
dustries is that of clock-making, there
has recently been established an inter-
esting museum of timepieces, says the
London Mail The collection displays
the gradual development in the making
of clocks for many centuries. Among
the curiosities are many Of great his
torical value. There is an alarm clock
constructed in the year 1850 for the use
of travellers. In form it resembles a
lantern, and the interior is designed to
hold a lighted candle. The candle is
slowly pushed upward by spring,
which also controls the mechanism of
the clock. A little pair Of shears clips
the wick of the candle automatically
every minute to regulate its light. The
lantern is inc1osed with movable sides,
SO that the sleeper is not at first dis
turbed by the presence Of light. The
alarm is set by inserting peg in the
second dial plate. When the required
hour arrives the alarm is sounded, and
at the same time the movable sides fall,
flooding the room with light.
