A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though it's offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh ia the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
:. The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

Insurgents Driven Out.

New York, Feb. 21.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The enemy
were concentrating all day at the wat
erworks and in front of Kings brigade.
They became SO nagging in frors of
Kings position that the general sent
two companies of the 1st Washington
infantry over the Pasig river. They
swept the country for two miles and
then swung over to the river bank, OPP
posite the nsurgent trenches facing
the American position at Macati and
opened a flank fire on the insurgents
across the river. Two guns of the 6tn
artillery, under Lieutenant Ecott, at
Macati, pounded the insurgent posi-
tons, while the troops at Macati charg-
ed and drove the enemy before them.
Fifteen Filipino dead were found and
four wounded. Two American soldiers
We're wounded by the explosion of
Springfield rifles.
The declaration of Aguinaldo that he
has made a humane war is another fab
rication. In the past few weeks the
Red Cross has been like a dead f1ag to
the insurgents. Chaplain Pierce of
MacArthur's staff testifies that he has
been shot at by sharpshooters so times
in the provisional hospital. Not an
ambulance or litter came which was
nGe the signal for a shower of bullets.
The surgeons of the hospital corps, who
were giving aid to the Filipinos as well
as to the American wounded, were a
target for sharpshooters. A wounded
man who was being carried from the
field was killed by insurgents concealed
in a tree. The Red Cross people are
now going armed.

Qualified Condemnation.

London, Feb. 22.-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Times says: Generally
speaking, the encyclical is regarded as
qualified condemnation of the Hecker
doctrines. 1t would be erroneous to
suppose that 1T condemns or directly
affects Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop
Ireland or the group of enlightened pre-
lates who have SO largely contributed
to the spread Of Roman Catholicism in
the United States. 1t is partly the out
come of deep-laid, long-matured in
trigue, and if this is the only result of
Y months plotting it is clear that the
letter will strengthen rather than
weaken the position of the American
prelates whom the intrigue was in

spicacity astonishing in a man Of his

Shipment of Arms.

Hong Kong. Feb. 21-The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
Pine junta here:
Information which has leaked
through Pinkertons sent by President
Mckinley to investigate the shipment
of arms to the Filipinos show that the
first shipments of arms to Agunaldo
was made by order Of the American
government through Consul Wildman,
hence the shipment per the Wing Fol
The government subsequently tele-
graphed to cease this, coincident with
the change of policy to annexation. Mr.
Wildman and Rear Admiral Dewey
promised to pay, but have not yet paid,
for subsequent expedition by the Alb
hey, authorized by Admiral Dewey, who
afterward seized her and she is still
held. Papers respecting this are now
in the possession of the secretary of the
navy. The protestatons of Admiral
Dewey and other Americans that they
have made no promises are ridiculous.
In view of these facts let the American
people judge how the nations word of
honor was pledged to the Filipinos and
oontded in by them and violated by the
recent treachery of General OTIS

No Resistance Feared.

OF punctuation and regard to economy
in cable tolls, General Otis bulletin is
not very clear in some essential points,
particularly the reference to the island
of Negroes. A careful study of the dis
patch on that point has. convinced the
officials here that General Otis means to
say that four representative inha bitan
of the islands of Negroes have come to
Manila, having been sent by General
Miller to meet and confer with General
Otis in regard to the extension of Amer
lean occupation to that island. Negroes
is the fourth island in the Philippine
group of Importance. 1t lies at it's nea"-
est point about 10 miles from the island
of Panay, and General Miller's forces
must have been in plain sight of Negros
during the weeks preceding the capture
of 1loilo. just to the east of Negros,
separated by very narrow strait, is
the island of Cehu, which it is also a
part of Otis purpose to occupy. From
General Otis dispatch it is gathered
that neither at that point nor at Ne
gros is there likely to be very sub
stantial resistance.

A STRING OF QUESTIONS
Canalejas Makes it Warm for the
Spanish Ministry.
BATTING THE GOVERNMENT
The Cabinets Careless Glibness OF Ex-
PLANTATION Due to the Fact That It's
Days Are Numbered-Captain
Aunon Sharply Criticised.

Madrid, Feb. 21.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day the opposition conti.l-
ued to bait the government Senior
Canalejas put long string of questions
to the minister of finance, Senior Puig-
cerver, who declined to reveal the con-
tents Of the projected bills. The minis
ter, however, said he hoped in due time
TO introduce measures to settle the ar
rears of pay of the soldiers returned
from Cuba and to deal with the pay
ment of the Cuban and Philippine debts.
To this Senior Canalejas replied that
nothing could be conceived more con
temptible than the words of the minis
ter of finance. 1t was evident that he
had prepared no bills at all, despite the
gravity of the situation. Senior Canal
ejas then proceeded to censure the gov
eminent caustically, attributing it's
careless glibness of explanation" to the
fact that it was aware that in few
days it would be no longer in office
He said he thought Senior Puigcerver
would have done better to acknowledge
frankly that this was the reason why
no bills had been prepared.
In the senate to-day Count d Almenas
resumed the attacks begun by him yes
terday upon the generals who were en-
gagged in the war in Cuba. He COM
planned that chests of gold sent out to
pay the troops in Cuba had been re-
turned to Spain intact and unopened,
just as they had been sent out. In
terms Of special severity he criticised
Captain Aunon, the minister of ma
rine
Twice he was called upon by the pres
ident to withdraw his remarks, and his
speech was attended throughout with
great uproar. Marshal Martinez de
Campos defended General Linares, who
was in command of the Spanish troops
at Santiago at the capitulation, against
the charge of treason brought by Count
d Almenas, adding that the latter would
not dare repeat his charges outside the
court.
Count d'Almenas essayed reply, but
he refused to hear him. Senior Sagasta,
the premier, who spoke amid increasing
tumult deplored the attitude of Count
d'Almenas and defended the govern
ment's conduct. He concluded by call
ing for the closure.
The debate was adjourned.

Rome, Feb. 21-The Osservatore
Roma will publish letter Tonight from
the pope to Cardinal Gibbons, saying
IF the term Americanism signifies
quality peculiar to Americans and
usages adapted to their customs, then
we have nothing to say against 1t; but
if it denotes the opinions expressed in
the Life of Father Hecker,' we are con-
WINGED that the American bishops will
be the first to reject Them
The pope's letter especially reproves
opinions concerning relaxation of disci-
pline and non-obserVance of doctrinal
points as a preteXt for attracting dis
senters to Catholicism, the direction of
souls by inspiration of the holy ghost,
independent of priestly control, the di-
version of virtue into active or passive
criticisms of the old religious orders.
and concerning unusual methods of
preaching Catholicism to dissenters.
The letter, which occupies five col
umns in the Osservatore Romano, be-
gins by lauding Cardinal Gibbons and
the American Catholics. Abiding to
the many proofs of good will he has
given them in the past, the pope wishes
them to see in the present document
another proof of his affection for Amer
lea. While he makes 1T clear that the

Hecker," his holiness carefully dis
tinguishes between the doctrinal as

urges the impossibility of any change
in the former. While admitting that

acted upon the necessity of adapting

TuDper Not SururiSed.

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 21.-Sir Charles
Topper, leader of the conservative par
ty, who arrived here to-day, in speak
ing of the failure of the joint high
commission to reach an agreement,
said:
No surprise will be felt at the fail
ure of the present negotiations by any
person in Canada who was aware that
the government had exhibited not only
complete incapacty to deal with such
a question, but they had such a rec
ord in the past as to render it a vain
nope for them to get any favorable
consideration from the United States -

dividuais, to determine when such
adaptations can be made.
"AIl virtues" says his holiness, must
necessarily be active. The contempt
shown by innovators for what they are
pleased to call the passive virtues has
naturally led to contempt for religious
life as suited only to the weak and as
an impeachment to Christian perfection
and to the good of the community"
This error the pope energetically con-
dennis, declaring 1t .injudicious to the
religious orders and in contradiction to
history" He reminds the Americans of
their indebtedness to the religious or
ders, both active and contemplative.
The letter arouses deep interest in
Rome. The liberal papers declare that
it constitutes a Solemn manifestation
of the intransigeant spirit in Cathol-
icism," and predicts that it will produce
an immense effect in America.

Not UnEayorable.

London, Feb. 21.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily Chronicle says:
The pope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons
will possibly be exploited by the anti
Americans; but on the whole it is not
unfavorable to American Catholicism.
On the contrary, one of the reasons
which determined the pope to speak
favorably of political Americanism is
understood to be the existence of the
religious crisis in England. He is well
aware that "Americanism" in this
sense of the word has numerous parti-
sans in England and that its condem-
nation would have produced bad eff
feet upon both Catholics and ritual

THE LAST CONCESSION.
American Members Regret Inability to
Agree.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Without any
purpose to start a flood of recrimina-
ton the American members of the high
Canadian commission feel that they
have not been to blame for the failure
to reach an agreement, but that they
are justified in the statement that they
have made concession after concession.
1t IS supposed that reasons of interna-
tional policy founded on the belief that
they would be in a better position be-
fore the session of parliament just be-
ginning if able to assert that they had
refused to sacrifice Canadian interests,
have animated the Canadian members
of the commission in their course 1t is
just possible that better results may
attend a further conference of the joint
body next summer, but while the Off
Gals here regret exceedingly the fail
ure to such an agreement, it is said pos
itively that the American side has made
its last concession and that the Canad-
ians cannot expect any better terms
than they have now refused.

San Francisco. Feb. 2l.-- The inspector
of hulls and boilers in this city has re-
ceived instructions from Washington to
examine every vessel sailing from this
port. The examination will take place at
intervals and only vessels of more than
700 tons will have to undergo the test.
This regulation was brought about by the
use of so many unseaworthy vessels
which have been dispatched from Pacific
coast ports for the Klondike trade. many

service owing to the cheap charters de-
mauded
