jungle near Camp Dewey.
The rebels were attacked and fell
back upon the main line of the insurg-
ents. The Fourteenth infantry, the
North Dakota volunteers and the
Fourth cavalry then engaged the enemy
and drove the insurgents back with a
fusilade from automatic Colt runs.
The enemy's loss is severe and they

Privates Randsom, Hensel and
Saunders of Company F, Fourteenth

FATAL sNowsLIDE IN COLORADO.
~Thornburgh Street, Btween LIST an,

Silver Plume, Colo. Feb. 1.-THE
great mountain amphitheater behind
the town today unloaded a portion of
the great burden OF snow which has
been accommodating for weeks. Two
mighty avalanches, combining in one,
swept down Cherokee gulch, carrying
before them nine buildings, cabins, ma
chinery, and stopped barely $50 feet
from the upper end Of the town.
How many dead bodies lie in this
great mass Of snow and debris will not
be known until spring. Eight dead
bodies lie in the morgue and two more
are known to be lost. Three men have
been taken out alive and the rescuing
party has penetrated but fifteen feet
into a mass Of wreckage fully rs feet
in depth. 1t is believed that at least
ten others are lying IN its depths and
there seems little hope OF finding any
Of them alive.

NOTES FROM MINING REPORTER

"A Boston firm is advertising an cleo
trical process for dehairing skins and
tanning them into leather. There are
still some things which are best done
in the good old way.
The great advance in the selling price
of copper has caused a raise of 10 per
cent in the wages of miners and other
employees at the mines on the northern
peninsula of Michigan.
In the manufacture Of aluminium, one
furnace at ~Pittsburg, Pa, has been in
continuous operation since November,
1883. This plant, with the new plant at
Niagara Falls, has a capacity of more
than 10000 pounds of aluminium per
day, which Is nearly equal to the daily
capacity of all European manufactures
combined.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
strongly advocates the adoption of the
metric system of weights and measures
in all public works and public business,
and cites the necessities of such use of
the system in securing the greatest
benefits from trade with foreign coun-
tries, and asserts that nothing will help
US so much in securing such trade than
to adopt the system of weights and
measures that is used by the greater
part of the civilized world. The people
of the United States are slow to adopt
the metric system, possibly for the rea-
son that, to the majority who neither
buy nor sell in any foreign market the
advantages of hat system are not Of
sufficient moment to induce them to ac-
ouire knowledge of its simplicity.

REPORT OF THE WAR BOARD.
Exhaustive Report and Some Strong
Criticisms.

VI lbl'LoLiiS'
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE report
submitted to the president last We'd
nesday by the commission appointed
by him to Investigate the conduct of the
war department in the war with Spain
was made public tonight. The report
Is a unanimous one, all the members
Of the commission having signed it ex-
cept Colonel Sexton, whose death oc-
Cured Feb. 4. At its close It says:
1T is with profound regret that the
commission reports that during its lat
er sessions Colonel James A. Sexton
was prevented by sickness from being
present and on the 4th of February our
colleague closed an honored and active
life"
The report is a voluminous document,
containing about IS, 900 words, and an
official abstract, prepared by the secre-
tary of the commission, was furnished
to the press for its convenience.
The abstract says:
The report criticizes General Miles,
finding his embalmed beef charges
groundless.
Inspector General Breckinridge's de-
partment is severely handled. The ad-
Jutant generals department comes in
for praise. Commissary General Ea-
gan's department is praised, through
the condemnation Of General Miles.
The commission blames su~bordinates
for poor transportation facilities, and
in general sums up its criticism by
saying there was a lacking in the war
department administration that COM
plete grasp Of which was essential to
the highest efficiency and discipline Of
the army"
The commission organized on Sep
TENDER "a, elected General Granville M.
Dodge president; Hon. Charles DENLY,
vice president, and Mr.. Richard
Weightman, secretary. General James
A. Weaver was designated to conduct
the examination Of witnesses; Lieuten-
ant Colonel F. B. Jones chief quarter
master Of volunteers, was detailed by
the war department as discussing Off
Ger and Major Stephen C. Mills, U. S. A,

representing the three established press
associations.
Among the first acts of the commits
sion was to ask the secretary of war,
the adJutant general. the quartermaster
general and the surgeon general to
transmit all the complaints received
by them touching the administration
of their respective departments. This
request was promptly complied with.
In further pursuance Of this prepara-
tory measure, the commission of Sept.

OF belief Of any official wrong or dere-
lection to submit their statements in

fidavits, letters, newspaper clippings,

CATARRH OF
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and En-
fectual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
been considered the nex thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloated sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation Of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, headaches
fckle appetite, nervousness and a gen.
eral played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and IL the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny. inflamed con-
dition.
The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces Of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and

According to DR.. Rarlanson the SAT
est and best treatment Is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed OF Dia-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Col
den Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name OF Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, and 10 being a patent medi-
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher OF 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: 'Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a ne
elected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane OF the nos becomes
infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three

the natives of Panpanga province. near
Malolos, the capital of the Filipino So
called government, r ready for defec-
tion. They have SEN in by a trusted
messenger to General Otis an offer to
desert A%guinaldo and join the Ameri-
can forces. They assert that they have
5000 organized troops well provided
with arms and ammunition, and only
need rations. They also state that they
fought Aguinaldo as allies to the Span
ish. An escaped Spaniard, who has
been a more or less willing prisoner
among the Tagoto, brings in the report
that Aguinaldo is still celebrating his
alleged victories.
Manila, Feb. 12.-4:5O p. m.-Along
the entire line nothing has happened
up to this hour to disturb the peace of
Sunday. Despite this quietude, how
ever, many are asking whether the
problem is not still far from a solution.
A week ago these who took an opti-
mistic view predicted that the terrible
lesson just administered to the rebels
would settle the question of Filipino
independence. Bur this prediction has
not been fulfilled. AS a matter of Tact,
the rebels are now scattered through
the country bushwhacking, except at
Malabon, where they are gathered in
force. Even there their methods SAVIOR
more of guerrilla than of civilized war
fare, every bush, clump of trees and
tree furnishing cover for sha~rpshooters.
1t is now known that the Filipino loss
is fully $500 killed, with wounded vast
ly in excess of that number and thous-
ands are held prisoners. All this has
been achieved at the cost of 65 Ameri-
cans killed and 26 wounded. There
were 25 Americans missing and unac-
counted Tor. No fewer than ten of the
native villages have surrendered or
been captured. Several have been de-
stroyed because their houses harbored

tire, who shot from windows and roofs
at the Americans. Many rifles and
tons CT ammunition have been sliced.
Among the distinguished prisoners
captured in Manila since the outbreak
Of hostilities are Captain A. G. Esca-
milo, Aguinaldo's private secretary;
Captain E. R. Veraguth, Colonel Martin
de Los Reyes and Senior Tomas Del Ro-
sario, a member of the so-called Fill
pino congress in session at Malolos.
Other Filipino officers are tlso in GUS

partment today:
