rule for finding the length of mans
life If the present age lies betwt o.,
IL and Sc years. This is the rule: Sab
tract the present age from Sc and divide
the remainder by 2; the result will nivr
the number OF years you have yet 20
live. This old rule was discovered us

HAVANA, June 1.-The farewell man

San Domingo he expects to return to
Cuba in order to remove the body of his
son, Francisco Gomez, who was killed
with General Antonio Maceo. Many
residents OF Havana who are neither
friendly nor unfriendly to Gomez be-
lieve that if he lives he will soon wish
to resume his connection with the ISL
and, and they also believe that Cuban
sentiment in the main would favor his
being largely interested in the future of
the Cuban republic, even if not as its
president. In his message Gomez coun-
sells patience and obedience during the
necessary time of American occupation
and until the island shall have estab-
lished a stable government.

SOME VERY HARD WORK.
General Halls Twelve-NIile March Fror
Santa Teresa to Morong.

General Halls Twelve-Mile March From
Santa Teresa to Morong.
MANILA, June 7.--S:50 a. m.-Tho
American forces have occupied the pen
insula and General Halls column is en-
camped at Morong. Major Truman,
marching across the Bingangonan
found it impracticable to form cor
don, and the insurgents, with the ex-
ception of 100 or 200, escaped through
the mountains after General Pho del
Pillar, dragging their battery by bgf-
falos, at night. A few, however, may
be trapped.
The Washington troops have returned
to Pasig, but the programme Of the
other troops is uncertain. ~
The present expedition shows the diff
fculty which is encountered by an
army which must depend upon wagon
trains in catching bsrefooted bandits
In their own mountains, and also gives
proof that the rebels do not intend to
fight battles.
Scores Of Men Fall Out.
General Hall left Santa Teresa Mon
day morning and marched 10 miles to
Morong, up and down rocky hills and
through woods and swamps. Scores Of
his men fell out owing TO the extreme
heat and were loft to fellow as best they
could. The head of the army arrived
at Morong at noon, having exchanged
only q fow shots with insurgent skir-
.nishers on the way. Groups of stray
glers followed all day, but tho force
was 200 smaller than when they startedc
Tho men were almost SO hours without
rations, and it was considerable of an
achievement for them to cover the
ground they did.
En- route to Morong the Americans
met Aocks Of Filipinos and flags of
truce, many of them young men with
the bearing of soldiers. Many discarded
uniforms were found in the houses,
apparently those Of soldiers who had
escaped by changing their costumes
from ''insurrecto" to "amigo," and
walking boldly past the army which
had expected to corral them. Few were
found about Morong. One member of
the Washington regiment was killed
and two were wounded in the encoun-
ter with the outposts.
