Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as a kind OF insult to be asked
il they have weak lungs. All seem to
have solid faith in the soundness Of
their own breathing machine. In cases
of trouble they will admit there is a
heavy cold" "a touch OF bronchitis"
or even "a spell of asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear
to us. 1t is also a sad thought that we
may hug a delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid OF when life itself
must pay the forfeit.
Nobody can afford to think lightly
OF lung troubles. Nobody can afford 10

better in the spring" or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward Weak lungs don't grow strong
by themselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them, and rid them OF
the very earliest germs of disease, or
you are simply committing a form of
suicide. Either you must cure your

WITNESSES ALI OF ONE MIND.
Condemn the Canned and Commend
Refrigerated Beef.


Washington, Feb. "a. - Yesterdays
proceedings of the court of inquiry in
vestigating the beef controversy de-
veloped little that was new. The
testimony, with the exception of that
of DIR. DAILY, urgeo on the staff of
Gen. Miles during the war, and of Col.
Woodruff, assistant commissary gen.
eral, was generally In line with that of.
Tuesday. The canned roast beef was
generally condemned as unsatisfac-
tory, while the refrigerated beef was
commended, the chief complaint being
that it often decomposed en- route to
camp. The testimony Of representa-
tives of the subsistence department
was begun, hat OF Col. Woodruff, as
sistant commissary general, being the
most notable. He purchased more
than 100000 pounds of canned beef,
and told Of the method of purchase and
the reason that prompted it. He took
issue with Gen. Miles contention that
beef on the hoof was the usual source
of fresh meat supply to the army.
Another feature Of the day was the
introduction of DR.. DAILY, who charged
before the war commission that re-
frigerated beef at Chickamauga,
Jacksonville, Tampa and In Porto
Rico had been treated chemically. He
was not examined. however. in regard
to this charge, Col. Davis announcing
that the contractors who were at
tackled, were entitled to be notified Of
the examination upon this point that
they might have ample time In which
to appear should they desire to do so.
The law required this, he said. Ac-
cordingly Mr.. DAILY was excused after
a partial examination and will be re-
called later. The investigation will
proceed to-day, when Gen. Eagan,
former commissary general, is expect
ed to appear and tell the story of the
beef supply as furnished by his de-
partment.

The President Has Practically Chosen
His successor.

New York, Feb. "a. = The Herald's
correspondent at Washington says:
The days Of Algerism in the war de-
partment are numbered. The resig-
nation of Russell A. Ajger, voluntarily
or by request of the president, will oc-
cur within a fortnight. President Me-
kinney has practically made up his
mind as to Secretary Ayers successor.
These positive statements were made
TO me to-day by a gentleman usually
well informed, and were subsequently
admitted as a probability by a MEM
Der of the cabinet who has talked
with the president confidentially on
h subject. Secretary Alger Is in
Detroit. 1t Is believed be is making
plans for returning there and resum-
ing his old business engagements. He
Is expected TO return here ON Friday,
and it is no unlikely that his resigna-
ton and the appointment of his sue
cessor may be formally announced by
that time. Secretary Ayers contem
plated junket to Cuba and Porto Rico,
am told, is off. This is one of the
reasons for believing his resignation is
TO occur Immediately. / am told by
oH~ VI hho NiVS ItlSOiidi IL itHdS Una
he had made up his mind some days
ago TO make an extensive tour to Cuba
and Porto Rico, to submit a report to
the president and then to resign from
the cabinet on the ground of Ill health.
His idea was that he could then retire
without a suspicion that he was
forced to do so under fire. This same
gentleman Informed me that the secre-
tary had practically determined to
abandon his inspection trip, for what
reason he did not seem to know, or
rather, was unwilling to admit. In
spite of statements to the contrary, it
cen be positively asserted that the re-
lations between President Mckinley
and Secretary Alger are decidedly
strained. President Mckinley has
felt for a long time the serious embar.
rassment to the success of his admin
istration caused by Ayers manage
ment, or rather, mismanagement, of
the war department, and his close po-
litical friends have advised him more
than once to find some way Of getting
a new secretary of war. Finding that
the public comment on the report Of
the war commissions emphasized the
demand for the relief of Secretary
Alger, the president has found a way
OF impressing upon that official the
lesirability of his early retirement.

FILIPINO
Junta mt HOngkong Makes n violent
Attack ON Americans


Hongkong, Feb. &c. = The Filipino
Junta publishes a venomous anti
American attack, in part, as follows:
Panic and anarchy reign in Manila.
Trade and business Is p~aralyzed and
provisions are at famine prices. The
American authorities are afraid to ex
ercise authority over the recalcitrant
stores. While fighting is in progress
both soldiers and police defy their Of
fcers and proceed to the front to see
what they style fun In order 10
hush the scandal of a wanton bonn
bardment of the house of the foreign
consul (the name is not given the
Americans promptly paid for the
damages, hoping TO avoid publicity.
The escape of the consul's family was
miraculous"
The manifesto alleges that Maj. Gen.
Otis is incapable of filling his position
and then proceeds in a rabid denuncia-
ton of the American soldiers, declar-
ing that their conduct is bringing
disgrace upon the white race" The
junta says that the premises of a
Hongkong merchant at 1loilo had been
looted by Americans and that the mer-
chant has lodged heavy claims for his
losses. The TRADE concludes with the
statement: 1.-The reports of the hoist
ing of the American flag by the ma
tives of Negros are practical
buncombe."

Joint boundary Commission Has n
Fight.

JOlnI So -
Fight.
Kingston, Jamaica, Correspondence
of the Associated Press, Feb. lad
vices received here from Cayenne,
French Guiana, say that the joint COM
mission appointed to inquire into the
boundary question between France
and Brazil has just been heard from
on the Counani river.
The news was more sensational than
satisfactory, and for some reason the
colonial government was doing its ut
most to suppress the facts.
The correspondent says that both
commissions went out guarded by
heavy escorts equally matched. The
Frenchmen had the gunboat Jouffroy
and fifty Singalese soldiers and the
Brazilians had the gunboat Guaranay
and an equa number of troops.
A collision occurred between these
two forces in the interior. There were
no details and 1t vas not publicly
known whether there had been any
b%loodshed.
The fact that the governor immedi-
ately sent reinforcements of 200 troops
10 the front without waiting to COM
municate with Paris was thought to
Indicate that the matter was serious.

Trying to Force Americans to Make
an Attack.


Manila, Feb. %. Saturday night
rebels concentrated in such numbers
near the Chinese cemetery that Gen.
Macarthur anticipated an attack and
asked for achievements. Two COM
panies of the Twenty-third regulars
We're sent TO Caloocan and a battalion
OF the Twentieth regulars to the GEM
etery about midnight. But the expect
ed attack was not made, the rebels,
after making a great noise with bugle
calls and yells OF viva independencia''
and "Mucho malo Americanos,'' and
firing volleys. disappeared In the
woods. 1t Is believed their leaders are
getting desperate and are attempting
to force the United States troops to
make an attack in the hope of break
ing through the American lines, but
the rebels are evidently unwilling to
be pac.fied when facing the Ameri-
cans. II is Just possible, however, that
they may be goaded into such a move
before more r~einforcements arrive.
According TO the advices brought by
the steamer Neustra, whose arrival
brought the news that the American
flag had been raised over the island OF
Cebu, the United States gunboat Pc

Cornwell sent an ultimatura ashore,
declaring the intention of the Ameri-
cans TO take possession. ~peaceably il
possible, by force il necessary. The
rebels
Immediately Vacated,
taking their guns to the hills. A
party of marines and bluejackets
was landed and the American flag was
raised by them over the government
building. which they still occupied
when the Neustra arrived. A battalion
of the T~wenty-third regulars left FOR
Cebu by the United States transport
Pennsylvania. The same steamer
brought dispatches from Brig. Gen.
Miller at lloilo to Maj. Gen. Otis, re-
porting that all was quiet there. that
there had been no further fighting;
that confidence had been restored and
business was being generally resumed.
Gen. Miller thinks it probable the
natives will soon become convinced OF
the error of opposing the inevitable
and that the example set by the in
habitants Of Negros is having its eff
feet among the other islands, which,
though not entirely convinced, are. in
Gen. Miller's opinion, open to reason.
All is quiet at present inside and out
side of Manila except e Caloocan,
where the enemy's sharpshooters con-
time to annoy II troops at a COM
paratiyely close range. One man OF
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers was
killed. At rquina 'lage, which
was burned Saturday night, four were
wounded In the skirmish. one Of the
Idaho, one of the Minnesota and two
Of the Pennsylvania regiments. No
such emergency exists here as is pre-
sented by reports circulated in the
United States - and cabled back to
Manila-to the effect that Admiral
Dewey had had a collision of a forcible
character with the German naval
commander.
