Gen. Bates Ordered South.

Manila, Oct. 31.-General Young,
Cabanatuan under difficulties. The
country is furrowed with rivers and
deep rayines, the bridges over which
have been destroyed; the mud is deep,
rations are short, and the transporta-
ton of supplies has been delayed by
low water, and the poor condition of
the roads. There are sufficient stores,
however, to keep the brigade. The in

the country, impoverishing it. The

toned to the native grass and d long

The Spaniards report that there are
no insurgents at Cabanatuan. The
gunboat Laguna de Bay dispersed a
force of rebels who were engaged in
constructing trenches beyond Santa
Rosa. The boat was fred upon by a
party of insurgents bearing white

IsIt Malaria or Alum?

Languor, loss of appetite, Indigestion
and often feverishness are the COM
mon symptoms of physiological con-
dition termed malaria. All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
alum upon the system. It obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu-
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards of health, and food
commissions. So 'highly injurious to
the health of the community does
the eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law.'
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is
necessary to keep SO dangerous an ele-
ment from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, II
you are paying much less, something
is wrong; if you are paying twenty
cents or less per pound, the powder
is certainly made from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking powder.

Situation Sufficiently Dangerous to Ex-
cite Anxiety.
London, Oct. 31.-The position OF
Ladysmith, without being alarming, is
sufficiently dangerous to excite anx-
iety. Evidently the Beers are trying
to repeat their Dundee tactics. Roughly
estimated, they have 1900 men, as
against $4,000 British. General Sir
George Stewart White has the better
artillery, but his is of lesser range.
The delay in the Boer attack is reported
to be due to the non-arrival of Com
mandant- General Joubert's column.
This has given the British o much
needed respite after their recent exer-
tions.
Everything, it is now considered,
hinges on General Whites resources
and Judgment. Nothing is known re-
garding the progress of defensive works
for the protection of Ladysmith. The
censorship. is more active than ever.
According to the Daily Chronicles cor
respondent, "the new regulations limit
the number of words allowed for press
messages to one-fourth the number al
lowable before. -

Ladysmith have left their farms and
stock at the mercy of the Bocrs and are

they managed to transport such heavy

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
African War Has Helped Business in
America.

America.
r. G. Dun & Co. g trade review says:
Fears and not facts made a war in
South Africa seem a menace to property
here, and week of conflict has cleared
away the fear. British markets for
securities have been helped by the be-
lief that mining shares would be worth
more without Boer control in mining
regions.
Large purchases here of ammunition
and meats have swelled the balance
due this country. Money markets have
grown less embarrassed, stocks have
gradually advanced, industries are still
supported by volume of demand for
which no precedent can be found, and
payments through the principal clear
ing houses for the past week have been
1856 per cent larger than last year, and
573 per cent larger than in 1892. So
great an increse shows the net business
of many potent forces making for pub
lie prosperity.
The heaviest transactions in steel rails
ever made SO early cover 1,500, 900
tons for next years delivery, or two
thirds of the entire capacity of the
works.
Markets for minor metals are react
ing, tin having fallen to 5000, with
a recovery to $31.25 on sales In Octo-
ber 400 tons larger than usual, and
Lake copper is largely offered at
$17.37R. Lead is shade lower at
$4.572, and spelter is demoralized and
offered at So. Coke holds strong, short
ness of cars hindering deliveries,
though more ovens than ever before are
producing.
Wheat remains practically un-
changed, while Atlantic exports, flour
included, have been 2,932, ,812 bushels,
in four weeks, against 13, 483, ,056 last

Marconi system i'm NAVY.

New York, Oct. 30.-The navy de-
partment has begun series of expert
ments with the Marconi system of wire
less telegraphy with the object of de-
termining its practicability for general
use for naval purposes on sea and land.
The experiments will extend over a pc
riod of several days, and the results in
detail will be set forth in a eport to
be submitted to the bureau of equip
.ment by board of naval experts,
which has been appointed especially for
this work.
The particular object of the tests
was to determine the practicability of
using the system for short signaling
while squadrons are at sea. Marconi's
system, if it does all that is claimed,
would be of immense advantage in this
work. The afternoon experiments con-
sisted of six tests, all of which were
successful,

HOSTILE TO HIS ORDERS.
American Naval Governor Forced Friars
to Leave Guam.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The navy
department today received report
from Captain Leary. the naval COVER
nor of the island of Guam, in the La
drones. The president himself has
read the report, his interest being par
ticularly attracted by the disclosure of
the fact that the first American COVER
nor of an island has already been
obliged to adopt heroic measures to in
sure the proper administration of affairs
there.
Leary soon learned his authority as
governor was being subverted and every
measure of reform which he proposed
was being defeated by the hotsile in
fuence of friars. They resisted every
decree, in the belief that any disturb
ance of the order of things which gov
erned the island for SO many years
would cause them to lose their hold
upon the natives.
After exhausting all other means to
overcome this influence, Leary reports
he was obliged to notify half dozen
friars that they might have free trans
portation from the island and he should
expect them to avail themselves of the
offer
They left. But one friar is in the is
land and he was man of such charac-
ter and reputation as to convince Leary
of his fitness to remain.

Beers Evidently demonstrating Their
Plans-English Are Resting.
London, Oct. 3O.-The war situation
this morning presents no new features.
1t is presumed in Natal that tho Boers
are reconstructing their plans and that
the English are resting, but telegrams
from Ladysmith, at express rates, still
occupy 48 hours in transmission to
London, and, therefore, it is not inn
possible that something is happening.
The Daily Telegraph has the follow
ing from Ladysmith, dated Wednesday:
'Our cavalry patrols have been fired
on this afternoon and chased by tho en-
emy near the scene of the Reitfontein
Engagement. The Beers show signs of
ecoming aggressive. We learned OF
she capture of the hussars in response
to a military wire sent to Command
ant General Joubert. ~
According to the latest account Of
the first battle at Glencoe, the Boer
army amounted to 1000 men, and
about noon another army, almost as
large, under Commanant-Genera Jou-
bert, advanced within G, 900 yards of
Glencoe camp and then retired. The
Boer losses were very heavy, fully 800.

IA dispatch received here today,
under date of October 80, says General
Cronje, the Boer commander, an
nounced that the British garrison at
Mafeking made bayonet attack on
Commandant Louw's laager near
Grandstand, but were repulsed, leav-
ing six dead on the field, and it was
believed many of the attacking party
were wounded.
The dispatch adds that Colonel
Baden-P Powell asked for an armistice
in order 10 bury the dead. General
Cronje consented to this, the Beers as
sisting in placing the dead in the
wagon going to Mafeking.

On the Northern Border.

Cape Town, Oct. 30.-A telegram
from Buluwayo, Rhodesia, says: A
Boer force is threatening Chief Khama
and Chief Linchwei, who are loyal to
Great Britain. The two chiefs coun-
try lies at the extreme northwest of the
Transvaal and includes Bechuanaland.
It seems a gross mistake for the Beers
to provoke war among the natives.
The probable explanation is that the
Boer force intends to destroy the rail-
way to Buiuwayo, which runs through
Khamas' country land thereby prevent
a movement by Colonel Plumer's force
to go to the relief of Mafeking. AL
ready there have been stories of Rho
desian armored train engaging the
Beers some distance north of Mafeking.

committed in broad daylight, on one of
the busiest corners of st. Louis, is re-
garded as one of the most daring
