TO MOVE AGAINST ILOILO
OPERATIONS MAY BEGIN WITHIN
FORTY EIGHT HOURS.
General Otis Has Probably Already
Authorized an Attempt at Landing
Significance of the Dispatch of First
Tennessee Volunteers to Reinforce
General Miller,

General Miller,
Washington, Feb. 9.--Probably within
forty-eight hours General Miller will
have begun the attempt to occupy Iloilo
No specific orders on this score have
been sent to him since the battle of Sat
urday and Sunday, nor has he been
heard from directly respecting that
matter, but it was his known intention
to make this movement as soon as he
felt that conditions warranted it.
Statements contained in the press re-
ports from Manila convince the officials
here that General Otis has at last au-
thorized the landing. The best indica-
ton Of that intention was the dispatch
this morning from Manila of the First
regiment of Tennessee volunteer infan-
try for Iloilo. The movement to occupy
Iloilo might have been made some time
ago but for the necessity of withdraw
ing the Fifty-first Iowa regiment from
before Iloilo. These troops had been on
their transport so long that they were
really unfit for active service until they
had had an opportunity of stretching
themselves ashore for a few days The
men are now on shore at Manila. Cen
eral Miller has with him the Tenth in
fantry and Battery G of the Sixth artil-
lery, and these will be reinforced in the
course of twenty-four hours by the
First Tennessee regiment, making a
force quite equal to the occupation or
Iloilo.

FIRE IN HALIFAX CITADEL
ROYAL ARTILLERY REGIMENT4E =
HEADQUARTERS DESTROYED.

City-AIl Regimental Papers Burned
Origin of Fire a Mystery-A Searching
Investigation OEdered-Water Pluga
In the Forts Frozen.
Halifax, N. S., Feb. 10.-The ROYAL
artillery regimental headquarters in the
Citadel were burned out at an early
hour this morning, causing intense ex-
citement throughout the city, from the
time the alarm was sounded until q
o'clock, when the fire was under con-
troll. The fire started in the basemenr
and burned to the roof and extended for
sixty yards along the range of build-
ings inside the fort. All the regimental
papers were burned and the loss will be
several thousand dollars. The origin of
the fire is an entire mystery. General
Lord Seymour said there had been no
fire in this building for some time past.
A searching investigation has been orr
dered. Owing to the cold all the water
plugs in the fort were frozen solid ana

/
! New York, Feb. 9.-Tom O'Rourke,
representing Tom Sharkey and Martin
Julian, manager for Bob Fitzsimmons,
! met here to-day to arrange for fight
between the two pugilists. A large
\ number of sporting men and newspaper
reporters were present. Julian opened
the proceedings by stating that he was
ready to match F'itzsimmons against
| Sharlzey and was anxious to have the
contest take place as soon as possible
before the club offering the largest
purse. He stated that the conditions
should be Marquis Of Queensbury rules
to govern with the exception that there
should be no hitting in clinches, or
break-aways; no bandages to be worn
by either contestant and that the men
should box twenty-five rounds if the
contest occurred in this state, but if a
club could be found which would offer
O. larger purse than any other and fin
ish fight could be arranged, then the
principals would accept that offer.
O'Rourke agreed to all these PROPOSE
tions, but when Julian said the men
should meet within eight weeks from
the signing of the articles O'Rourke OBJ
jected. He said that Sharkey could not
meet Fitzsimmons before November
next. Julian then said he would eX-
tend the time unit. June. THAT is I'M
possible also,' said O'Rourke, "as Shar-
key will meet Mitchell in London on
May 49," A war of words followed and
finally Julian said: 81 drop all negotia-
tions with you and Sharkey and will
take on Jeffries." j. P. Egan, repre-
senting Brady, manager of Jeffries, said
that Jeffries would meet Fitzsimmons
on the conditions Julian had just stated
and he would cover the forfeit to-mor-
row. Julian assented and agreed to
meet Egan tomorrow to sign articles.
1t was agreed that the clubs that wish
ed to bid for the contest should have
Two weeks 10 90 SO ara tne DOut Will

II necessary to make those exclusions,
you would at the same time include
within the classified Est. subject 20 the
competitive examination. at least as
large a number OF places as those omit
ted. so that II might appear that no
backward step had been taken. To this
you replied that II was your intention to
include great many more places than
those excluded and that you hoped TO
make the order so comprehensive that
the reform of the civil service would
then be so complete that nothing further
would need to be done in regard TO IT..
Our disappointment was, therefore. great
when upon the appearance of your order
We found not only that the number of
exclusions was far greater than had
been previously supposed. but that there
was none of the incusions which you
had assured US il was your intention to
make. May we not hope that it is still
your purpose to make some substantial
and important extensions of the present
classified system? We believe that the
large number of exclusions made by
your order Of May % from the require
ment OF competitive examination has
been injurious. not TO the civil service of
the government only, but TO the country
at large, and we hope TO satisfy you OF
this by the results of certain invsstiSa-
lions which we intend To lay before YOU
at an early date, and ask you for a rev.
ocation OF that order. We beg leave 10
inquire whether we may not now look
for the additions to the classified service
promised in the Republican platform of
1896 and which we were then assured 10
was your intention to make, and If so.
whether 1t will be agreeable 10 you to
state at what time such additions may
be expected. >"

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use
Without a Failure

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, It
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousand homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a sin
gle instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can show
such a record-twenty-five years constant

most deliberate manner. The case Is
an extremely interesting one. and the
most eminent surgeons are giving close
attention to it.
The operation is made great deal more
simple by knowledge of the exact posi-
ton of the object to be removed Indeed
the location of the trouble in such case
Is. perhaps, the greater part Of the opera
ton. The opening Of the stomach while
it is very serious operation, has a rea-
sonabIe chance OF success. especially in g
healthy person. 1t is TO some extent less
hazardous than the opening OF the In
testines, because there Is less danger of
septic infection.
If the X-rays had not exactly located
the position of the watch. the surgeons
might have first opened the stomach and
then found that the watch had gone into
the intestines, in which case the opera
ton would have been complicated in a
most dangerous manner. and the chances
of success would have been very slight
indeed.
This case affords a fresh proof OF the
great value Of the X-rays III surgery. But
for them it would have been impossible
to have arrived at any certain conclusion
quickly. Before the discovery of the
rays the doctors would have been obliged
to subject Alma's stomach to long and
painful manipulation, which might have
increased her illness, and even then they
would not have obtained very absolute
certainty. With the X-rays the matter
was decided at once and absolutely.
''She hasn't seemed TO be at all sick, -
said Mrs. Todt. when 1 saw the proof
of the X-ray picture taken I could hardly
believe my eyes. She's just as bright as
ever and plays just as much
Thanks to the science of X-rays," said
DR.. Schaller. "it was simple matter to
discover the position of the watch. It
would have been hard to proceed with the
case with nothing more than the word
of an infant scarcely able to talk We
could not have known in which part of
the digestive channels the object was
lodged but for the rays"
This case also furnishes a lesson to par
ents that they should not put toys into
the hands of their children which can be
easily swallowed. Small objects of metal
are especially to be guarded against. 1t
Is very interesting to furnish another
demonstration Of the value of the X-rays,
but this should not be done at the ex-
pense of putting a brass watch into
childs stomach.
