GEN. UTiS NEARLY READY
To Strike One Tremendous. Decisive Blow
at the Natives.

! Washington. March "a 1t is under

matured his plans of campaign that
| winthin week or 10 days he will be
| able to begin the movement which is
| expected to mark the destruction of
| Aguinaldo's army. Although strag-
glers and fugitives may infest the is
| land of LuZon for some time. it is be.
| Iieved that after Gen Otis has deliver
| ed his next blow the insurgent army,
as an organization. will have ceased to
| exist.
The new movement will be. il is un-
derstood. by combined land and wa

| that the navy's part in the programme
will be particularly prominent. Gen.
| Otis has procured IL of the gunboats
| formerly owned by the Spanish gov
ernment and these are to play an i'm
portant part in the development of the
campaign.
| Many of the troops which had been
| engaged on the outer lines up TO the
date of Gen. Lawton's arrival at Ma

ter front and a complete reorganizati ton

are being used to maintain the strength
| of the lines running from Manila to
Pasig, established by Wheaton's dying
brigade.
The EeNt movement. it is expected.
| will be by water. 1t is believed that
Otis will place complete brigade on
board vessels, steam rapidly north
ward and land them beyond the insur-
gent headquarters at Malolos. If this
| movement succeeds, as it should, If
made with rapdity. the insurSent army
will find itself completely penned in
with no opportunity for retreat
To the north will be this flying bri-
gade. on the east Laguna de bay
across which they will be prevented
from escaping by the American gun
boats now alloat there; the Pasig river
to the south is we'll policed by tin-cIads
and with Il strong line in the position
occupied by Wheatons brigade. Will
cut off any movement in that direction
while to the west the bay of Manila is
closed by Dewey's vessels.
1t is hard to conceive how. il this
plan carries, the insurgents can longer
afford a decisive conflict, which must
end either in their breaking through
the American lines or in their surren-
der. 1t is evident that Gen. Otis eX-
poets the latter, for he has already ad-
vised the war department that the in

PURE FOOD.

The adulteration of food, medicine
and drink is now being thoroughly gone
Into by the Board of Health. The first
ease brought up for milk adulteration
has got off on the techncality that the
board has not stated what amount of
water milk may have, in point of fact,
has not made standard. But it will
not be difficult to fix a standard of
purity, and then the gentleman whose
defense is that his COWS have been feed
ing upon watery grass, will find that if
that is the case, he cannot sell his milk,
and will have to, find better feed or deal
less with the COW with the iron tail.
If there is any doubt about the
amount of water that there may be In
milk, there, is no doubt about many
ether things which are sold az the pure
article. Coffee must be pure coffee, or
1t must be labeled as a mixture of cof-
fee and chicory or whatever the adul-
terating ingredient may be. Butter and
oleomargarine are widely apart, and
the latter must be distinctly marked
"oleomargarine. Not only does the
pure iouu anu uIlilh Jill Oh ldSl leBlSld-
ture cover. this, but there is among the
Civil laws a special enactment regulat-
ing the sale of oieomargarine, which, up
to this time has been dead letter
A recent report of Consul Jarvis of
Milan shows how strict the Italian
Government is about the sale of mar
garin" as it is there officially named.
The retailer under a heavy penalty,
must inform the buyer that the mer-
chandise is not butter and must put it
up in cases or wrappers with the word
margarin printed in big letters upon
each. When ever the local conditions
make it advisable, the syndico of any
locality can prohibit the sale of mar
garin or other substitutes for butter In
the stores where butter is sold,
But it is not only in these matters

that crusade should be made Much
good would come of careful analysis
of the liquors sold. There is no doubt
that a lot Of cheap, adulterated liquor
goes down the threats of the drinkers.
OF course there are people who think
that the more poisonous the liquor, the
better, in that all liquor is bad. But
the law does not so regard 1t, and pro-
tects, in theory, the liquor drinker as
much as it does the coffee drinker. A
careful analysis of liquor sold, might
preach a very powerful temperance
sermon.
There is a fine field before the food
inspector. That his work will be popu-
lar is not likely, for he will put his fin
gers on too many sore spots. Every
man is quite willing to see his neigh
bors faults shown up, but he resents
very much his own little schemes of
adulteration being exposed. The food
inspector, when doing his duty, needs
the moral support of the community for
1t is for the common go3d that he works.

THE FOURTH.


The community realizes that this
coming Fourth of July must be worthily
celebrated, and from the names on the
committees it is evident that each will
be energetic in performing it's part The
coming Fourth is day of days, the
nrst that will be celebrated actually
ander the Stars and Stripes. 1t is for
rs. from this time forth, our national
celebration. 1t. will not be celebrated
by patriotic aliens in a foreign land,
but 1t will be celebrated by Americans
en- their own soil
1t is needless to recapitulate the bene-
ats that we have received from annex
alton and, as w. o. Smith said last
night, we have not realized 1.-THE of
them. Annexation has put the Islands
On plane where prosperity is assured,
It has lifted us to a great position in
the world We may all thoroughly real
lie this, but we must show that we
realize it, and by giving an enthusiastic
celebration, mark our high appreciation
sf the birthright We have acquired.
Though the time is short for prepare
ton, 1t is by no means too short, and
willing hands and energy will carry
things with rush, perhaps better and
more enthusiastically than a more de-
hberate planning. 1t is the very spon-
taneity of the affair which will give it
its charm and it's success. Everyone
will unite in striving to make July 4,
1899, day to be remembered in the
annals Of the territory of Hawaii.

The. war commenced against bicycle
mieves is a very Just one. Nothing
seems so easy to steal as a bicycle, and
the number Of thefts that have taken
place have called forth action on the
part of the bicycle people In many
cases, the bicycles have entirely disap-
Deared, but in others they have been re-
severed In the hands of people who
we're perfectly innocent of theft but
had purchased them from the thieves.
II would be wise for people not to buy
hicycles unless they are acquainted
~ith,the persons offering them for sale.
A few convictions will probably have
. good effect on the bicycle thieves.

"fhc craze for fast time or railways
is taking new feature" observed a
prominent railroad oficsal 10 a Star
writer recently. "It is the shortening
of lines and reconstruction OF surveys
inorder TO make a given line as straight
as possible between two points. 1t is.
in fact, a scheme TO make time by saw
ing distance. A railway without a
curve or a cutting is, of course. a splen-
did thing from an engineering stand
point, but it is a very tedious affair
TO the passenger. To thoroughly real
lie how extremely monotonous a long
journey on railway without a curve
or cutting is, one must travel on the
road from Buenos Ayres to the Andes.
That railroad beats all known rec
ords for having over 200 miles Of tracks
almost on a line, such as mathemati-
eians describe as the shortest distance
between any two points. No one who
has not seen this remarkable stretch
Of road, straight in front and behind
as FAR as the eye can reach, even when
aided by field glass, can grasp what

some monotony It involves and en-
