The Northwestern has a new form Of

spA1N's suNKEN SHIPS FLoATED

SPAIN'S SUNKEN SHIPS FLOATED.
Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
of the century has been the raising OF
some of the Spanish warships which
we're apparently shot to pieces at San
tiago. 1t seemed utterly impossible to
float them because OF the terrible dam
age inflicted by our guns, but the task
has been accomplished. Disease OF the
blood, stomach and liver frequently
wreck the health so that there appears
to be no chance OF recovery. But when
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is tagen,
the ~disordered system is speedily re-
stored to its old-time vigor and tone.
The Bitters will regulate the liver,
bowels and digestive functions and
purify the blood. You can buy this
remedy in any drug store, and under
no circumstances should you accept
anything said to be Gust as good"

Railroad men in the west will no
doubt read the above with greater in
terest than is usually given to news of
extensions. That the officials of the
road should start west in such weather
is an Indication that they are at least
seriously considering such an extern
sion. The Fremont, Elkhorn and Mis-
souri, Valley road is one OF the Chicago
and Northwestern branch systems and
IL it is to extend westward it might be
another indication thai it proposes to
fight the Burlington or that its rela-
lions with the Union Pacific are not
the same as heretofore. Casper, the
western terminus OF the Elknorn, is
approximately 375 miles due east of
P~ocatello and accessible to northern
Utah points. In view of these facts the
latest move of the Elkhorn may prove
of the greatest Importance o the local
railroad situation.-Salt Lake Tribune.

the best possible advantage means the
loading of the cars to their full ca
pacity.
1t costs approximately as much, it is
said, to haul an empty car as a loaded
one. The tendency among the western
lines, where the grade in the mountains
are not too heavy, has been for years
to put into service freight cars of great
er capacity.-Omaha Bee.

beyond the present terminus of the
road.
While they did not state the object
of the trip the fact that 1T is taken at
this time of year has revived the rumor
that the line is to be extended next sea-
on. The Elkhorn from its present
terminus is not able to control the
business from Central Wyoming as it
did before the advent of other roads
and its extension is considered a profit
able move.

TExAKANA Ark, March 25.-A race
war is on in Little River county and
during the past 48 hours number of
negroes have met their death at the
hands of an infuriated white population.
Seven are known to have been lynched,
shot to death or killed in some other
manner, and the work Is not yet done
The bodies of the victims of the mob's
vengeance are hanging to the limbs of
trees in various parts of the country,
strung up wherever they We're taken,
while that of another who was shot to
pieces while trying to escape was thrown
into creek and left there. The country
is in a stage of excitement. White men
are collecting in mobs heavily armed
and determined; negroes are fleeing for
their lives and the country is in an
uproar. The exact number of negroes
who have been summarily dealt with or
those who may yet fall into the hands
Of the mob before order is restored may
never be known. Seven bodies have
been found and other victims are being
hunted and will meet the same fate
when run to earth.

The Philippines.

MANILA, March 25-S:s0 p. m.-The
greatest battle between the United
States forces and the insurgents that
has taken place since February was that
which began early this morning. From
dawn until evening the fighting went
on. The insurgents were steadily driven
back, but they offered unexpectedly
strong resistance and in many instances
they were only forced from their in
trenchments st the point Of the bayonet.
At other times this was not possible, and
the artillery wrs brought to bear. For
hours they stood they stood their ground
under q deadly rain Of shells on the
banks of the Tuliaha river, where they
fought from behind barricade erected
along the line Of the railroad. At last
they were forced to yield here, too, and
they retired into the town of Malinta.
The loss in killed and wounded upon
the American side will be fully 200. The
enemy's loss will greatly exceed this.
Tonight Aguinaldo's men are strength
ening their position ut Polo, about
which place it is expected that tomor-
rows fighting will center.
MANILA, Maroh 28.-8:i5 A. M
Twenty six dead and $50 wounded in II

city in the morning and found the place
in a condition of chaos. The inhabi
tants seeing them, fled in panic, think
ing the American forces were in posses
sion. Tho Oregonians shot several
armed natives and then returned to
camp.
The American forces did not occupy
Malabon, but are concentrating their
strength to strike Malolos. Malabon is
city Of desolation. The American
soldiers have been foabidden to enter the
place for fear that natives may be lurk-
ing there.
MANILA, March 81. 11:35 A. M.-The
Americans this morning found the i'm
portant town OF Polo and number of
small villages west Of the railroard de-
serted and burning. They are advanc-
ing along the railroad. The road for
ward is in clear ground. Polo, when
taken, was nearly all in ashes. The
insurgents are still flying up the rail
way, and Mac acArthur's column is march
ing toward Bulacan.
The South Dakota boys charged the
trenches at Polo, killing twenty-five of
the enemy and wounding sixteen.
Aguinaldo has fed to Malolos. All
the Filipino prisoners beg for food.
Aguinaldo has issued proclamation
saying that he will punish with death
all who refuse to fight. He has been
daily promising the loot of Manila, say
ing the Americans were beaten.
