Manila, Nov. 1.-THE landing of the
American troops ut San Fabian Tues
day was the most spectacular affair of
its kind since General Shafter'S dis
embarkation at DaiQuir. The coop
Grafton of the troops and the navy
was complete. The gunboats main
tained terrific bombardment for an
hour, while the troops rushed waist
deep through the surf under heavy but
badly aimed rifle fire from the inSurg-
cnt trenches, and charged right and
left, pouring volley after volley at the
fleeing rebels. Forty Filipinos We're
captured, mostly nOn-cOmmiSSioneu
officers. Several inSurgent dead and
five wounded We're found in Il building
which had suffered considerably from
the bombardment. The town was well
fortified.
How the Landing Was Affected
When the transports arrived i'll the
gulf they found the gunboats Prince
ton. Bennington and others waiting.
Commander Knox, of the Princeton,
and Commander Sheridan, of the Ben
nington. anchored on the shallow two
miles off shore. The gunboats formed
II line inSide-the Helena. CallaO and
Manila close in shore. With the first
gun of the bombardment the small
boats were filled rapidly. While the
line of boats moved Shoreward the
EunboatS poured the full force of their
batteries into the trenches. soon fore
ing the insurgents to flee through the
burrows dug back of the trenches.
About 200 men held their places until
the keels of the boats grated on the
shore when their MauSer bullets COM
menced to sing overhead.
Troops Charged Right and Left.
The battaliOnS formed in good order.
Captain Buck. with Piercc'S and Pat

AGUINALDo's CHANGE OF BASE.
What Is Thought of 1t at the War Depart
ment-His New Field.

Washington. Nov. 11.-Secretary
Root feels no concern over the transfer
of Aguinaldo's base of operations to
Bayombon. The secretary said yes
terday that the move was distinctly
retrograde and in the nature of re-
treat after finding that his former
base was untenable. Throughout the
war department the view prevails that
Aguinaldo'S move does not materially
change the campaign plans and that
these will be pushed with unabated
VigOr. Still. great interest is felt in the
department over AguinaldO'S sudden
change of base northeaStward from
Tarlac to Bayombon. about 160 miles
distant There are numerous SpellingS
of the latter place. but the form given
is the one most generally adhered to
ON the maps in possession of the war
department.
The most interesting feature of the
new situation is that Aguinaldo has
been forced out of the Tagalo country
into Il region to the north, where Ia
gallo is not spoken and where the
mountains are filled with Negritos and
other savage tribes who are hostile to
the TagaloS. This is about the most
mountainous and inaccessible part of
the island. To the south of the base of
Carabpllo mountain there is Il narrow
break in the mountain range, and with
in n few miles around the base of Cara
bpllO mountain on its northern slope
one strikes the hpadWaterS of the
Magat. which is the beginning of the
great river CayGan. that flows north
ward 80 miles into the China sea.
1t is on the headwaterS of the Magat
that Aguinaldo is now located. The
way is open for him down the long
stretch of the river To Aparri at the
mouth of the Cagayan. where it flows
into the sea. This is one of the widest
but richest valleys in the island. 1t is
believed that the river Cagayan is nav
igable for our tinclad boats 1:!0 miles
from its mouth. and for canoes much
farther. The country around Cara
clio mountain is such that Acuinaldo
could probably stand off the whole
American force in 4 game of hide and
seek in the hills for the greater part OF
the coming season.

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE.

No EFFECT WITHOUT A CAUSE.
This is true, yet for many
ages no one could account for
the mysterious and excruciating
pains that, seemingly without
sufficient cause, tortured the
hapless sufferer, and oftentimes
twisted his limbs out of all
semblance to humanity.
Science, however, has at
length solved this problem, and
has proclaimed that rheumatism,
in all its varied phases, is due to
uric acid in the blood.
Hence, when one is afflicted
with rheumatism he knows there
is too much acid in his blood.
How does this happen. 1t
must be the blood's purifiers,
the liver, and especially the
kidneys, are out of order and do
not properly perform their
functions.
But how can they be restored
to their normal healthy stateo
Hundreds of thousands of CRATE
full, andnow healthy, people will
endorse the answer:
Use Warmers Safe Cure, which
will check an excess OF acid,
dissolve the acid deposit, and
produce a normal and healthy
condition OF the kidneys and
liver, and then, the cause being
removed, the rheumatism will
quickly disappear.
